Baumanka received a contract from the Ministry of Defense to develop a combat vehicle for the Navy

Research and Production Center for Special Engineering MGTU them. N.E. Baumana won the competition of the Russian Defense Ministry to carry out research work on the creation of a combat vehicle for naval infantry units, said Sergey Popov, the chief designer of the SPC SM, at the MAKS-2013 air show.

“In the twentieth of July an envelope was opened with applications from participants in the competition, they were processed a week, and in mid-August the Ministry of Defense signed a contract with our center,” explained Popov.

According to him, “the timing of the research work is very tight - by the end of the year it should be completed with the development of tactical and technical tasks for development work.” The chief designer hopes that “the development of the R & D will also be entrusted to Baumanka,” ITAR-TASS reports. .

“We have a very serious task ahead of us,” noted Popov. - The big problem is that the Russian sailors never had a combat vehicle, and therefore there is no clear understanding of what it should be. And making an analogue on the basis of the land variant is hopeless ”.

In particular, he cited the example of a specialist, “at the BMP, after half an hour of stay in the sea water, all electrical equipment completely fails, aluminum corrodes, and its coating by the type of ship does not save, because it is damaged when working on the ground”.

Ensuring high speed (40 km / h) on water and increased BMP seafacing required by the new over-the-horizon concept is also a big problem.

It provides for unloading the assault force from the transports far from the coast, beyond the horizon line - the ships have less risk of coming under fire of the enemy’s coastal defenses, and the assault is provided with greater secrecy. power BMMP. "In fact, it should be a speedboat on the water and an armored personnel carrier on the ground, capable of overcoming the surf wave up to one and a half meters high," the expert explained.

Another problem is that BMMP should disembark from docking ships that are not in service with the Russian Navy. “Whether it is necessary to adapt the product under development to the Mistral being built is not yet clear,” the chief designer complained.

There are some developments in the SPC SM and certain solutions in this area, “however, we need to know what the sailors want,” he stressed.

“In September, a pool of all interested parties meets, and we are starting work,” Popov informed. “We will attract NIItransmash to it - without serious institutions, such a complex task cannot be solved.”

It is done just under the Mistral and then in the future.

According to the High Command, new vehicles with high buoyancy will be needed not only in the next few years for the Mistrals, but also in the future.

the vehicle should be highly buoyant, accommodate at least 15 soldiers with standard weapons and equipment, have mortars, automatic grenade launchers, portable anti-aircraft missile systems and large-caliber machine guns. In addition, the new vehicle should be larger than the BMP-2, BMP-3 and BTR-80 already in service. The mass of the new BMP for the Mistrals should be about 30 tons. In addition, a complex of passive protection and active protection of the "Arena" type should be installed on the armored car. The power plant for the BMP must be at least 400 hp, and it must be installed either a gas turbine engine with an electric transmission, or a 750 hp engine. from promising armored vehicles "Kurganets-25" or BMP-3F.

Well, the third time I write - do not flatter yourself. MVTU is an educational institution, and it does not have a very close relationship with real design and production, especially remember the Dozor joint with KAMAZ. It’s good that students and teachers are engaged in scientific and practical work at the department, but it’s stupid to expect from this super breakthrough, well, not there, and there can’t be a full-fledged design bureau, and even with a production and factory base. . Another cause of serious concern is that under this tag KAMAZ simply wants to squeeze an order for technology, and this is an ostentatious response to the demand of iPhone and Livanov to drive science and technology to universities.

You are very deeply mistaken, fortunately
As a graduate of Baumanka, M1 of the Faculty of Special Engineering (now probably already different), I assure you - Baumanka is not only engaged in teaching students.
The structure of Baumanka includes NPCs and laboratories engaged in very interesting, useful, closed activities, far from the educational process
Many types of weapons and, in general, various military and space products were received and are getting their way to life precisely within the walls of this illustrious institution.

Again, I do not argue, but the fact that the former K2 and K3 are really tucked into the belt by specialized design bureaus is from the realm of fantasy.Let's without fanaticism, the School was not created for that and it really cannot create, run a sample and put it into a series at the plant. Its main and main task has always been the training of specialists from the Russian engineering school, capable of solving any problems and often not according to the profile of training, as evidenced by the gallery of portraits in the right wing of the Red Square. Well, and if along the way, and they are engaged in applied science - this is how you can only welcome, but this is how you demand the impossible and embrace the immense ...

do not panic - the Research Institute "Transmash" has been involved, and this is a VERY serious enterprise, and tracked combat vehicles are just their specialization.
And MSTU itself is also not simple, for example, 1 from its developments

[Generalissimus]

There is nothing wrong with the sound of "Baumank". This is how we have always called (and call) our glorious alma mater. Both students and teachers.
This is not jargon, but a long-established self-name, which has become a household name.

In general, Bauman is a sign of quality, the best technological institute in the world.
Under the Union, it was called a school, but the competition was the largest.
Are you from the village?

Exactly. And even more. I once entered the Moscow Technical University, and already graduated from the Moscow State Technical University.
I don’t remember exactly what year exactly - at the turn of the 80's and 90's it was a change of status. There was even a general vote, whether to leave the name Higher Technical School or to accept a new one - State Technical University.

An absolute majority voted for the Moscow Technical University, but they did the same at the Moscow State Technical University, explaining that, by law, the University has more options.
In my opinion - a golem excuse. Always our Baumanka, being called, in fact, a technical school, was in fact the best technical institute of the USSR and, of course, stood in the ranks of universities, not technicians, in all statements and ranks of ministries and departments.
It is a pity that they changed the historical glorious name - MVTU.

It remains only to defeat the problems in creating the BMMP and not to delay until 2050. Success in work, time is short - the kazly from the west are already crushing horns.

You can land not only from ships, but also through straits, bays, large lakes, if only a weak defense.

It is necessary to adapt to everything that floats, flies, moves, does not move. Then there will be what is needed.

[Consmo]

In general, an overseas landing is only mu ... Amer could come up with.
Type Ships, and the landing x ... with it.
.
In turn, ships must support artillery landings (the larger the caliber and range the better.)
In my opinion, the brainless Amer’s idea is stupidly reproduced by the generals.
On telly showed these Amer coffins, high-speed for disembarkation, what imperceptible disembarkation?
The target is what you need. A few heavy machine guns from 12 mm. on the flanks and goodbye American homeland and hamburgers.

Quote from rudolf

"armored" fantasies.

You, as always rudolff, are one hundred percent accurate !!!
There is practically nothing to add (first a chicken then an egg), and not otherwise.
BMP-3F ,, Octopus, self-propelled guns, Vienna ,, should be procured by the marines immediately.
If tomorrow is a war, the Marines simply have nothing to fight. All armored vehicles are morally and physically obsolete.
The Chinese do not talk, but do.
Lightweight amphibious tank, based on the chassis of a new generation combat infantry fighting vehicle ZBD-2000. It is intended for the quick delivery of marines to the coast from landing ships at high speed with access to the planing mode while moving on water.

[yanus]

Notably money will be sawn. The fact that there is no experience in creating such machines is not so bad. Much sadder is the fact of the creation of BMP as an independent model of equipment, and not on the basis of a land BMP. This is demonization and cost, etc. ... I would have understood that if we had a bunch of marines. But in fact, their cat cried for us and they exist more for show.
In short, they will master the money for development. God forbid, if they are not allowed into production, they will screw up even more money, and the Marines will be given a "shushpanzer", from which they will spit.

[Per se.]

Our marines have long needed a new combat vehicle, and they have one, this is the BMP-3F, but, alas, there was no Shamanov for the marines. Baumanka, this is good, but so far "court and case", the men are again without "horses". Who is the BMP-3F in the way, or does it need a monster like the American AAV-7?

[dmitreach]

Per se, welcome, but mind you. BMP-3f is a good car for its time or as a "kind of class" of floating equipment. A technique that "swims too". However, it does not have certain requirements for a new vision of BMMP. By seaworthiness, by speed afloat, by the number of troops. The concept gets complicated. BMP-3f, as a platform - "will not allow to turn around" engineering, leaning against the performance characteristics of a particular machine.

[Per se.]

And I greet you, dmitreach! It is necessary to immediately decide what our marines need, a really combat vehicle, or an amphibious craft that can somehow shoot while crawling on the shore. Yankees spend a lot of babos on the development of EFV, in Russian translation, as "expeditionary combat vehicle". This miracle, in fact, takes 21 paratroopers "on board" and can sail using planing at speeds up to 46 km / h. Yes, it is impressive, if you forget that in rough seas, planing is difficult or impossible, and on the shore this mastodon is not very suitable for battle. It seems that domestic "Americanophiles" fell for this bourgeois "masterpiece", demanding a similar car. Let our BMP-3F take 5-7 more paratroopers to the crew, and swim at a speed of 10 km / h, but it can swim in waves of 3 points and conduct aimed fire at 2 points, having a power reserve on the water for at least 7 hours. with the possibility of towing a second car. I don’t know about you, but I would prefer to go into battle with a BMP-3F, and not this American monster for the war with the Papuans.

[dmitreach]

I dashed off a whole novel, as an answer, and accidentally restarted the computer ...

Impossible to embrace the immensity.
Either high seaworthiness and 15 landing personnel (so much MO wants), or compact dimensions and powerful weapons ... from which you can’t shoot with excitement over 2 points ... But in fact - and three balls laugh!
If curious: http://www.kakras.ru/interesn/wind.htm
This I mean that the presence of powerful weapons is leveled by light excitement at sea, and you still have to get to the coast ... This is all the more important when it comes to the now fashionable "over-the-horizon landing". It is not possible for a huge, armored, and even floating "bus" to compete in speed with a ship in an air cavity ... Or it is possible, but the fuel consumption will be like a pair of turntables. Again, a small number of troops increases the number of units. techniques in the hold of the Landing Ship. And this despite the fact that the BMP3f, like the BTR82, does not have sufficient seaworthiness. There is something to think about. A new car is needed, in any case.
The task of creating a new BMMP is a great start for new R&D.
Let's see what grows out of this.

[Per se.]

Quote: dmitreach

There is something to think about.

The main thing is not to go to extremes. You cannot create something "all in one bottle", and with "over-the-horizon landing" you also need to understand that it is not a panacea for all occasions, somewhere the good old ways will come in handy, then everything will fall into place. And the BMP-3F, in my opinion, the fleet still needs.

[dmitreach]

I've been waiting for this news for over a year! More precisely - specifics on the BMMP. Since the acquisition of clear lines on the Mistral and work on the KA52k "Katran" and the rejection of the BMP3f. It is possible for pessimists to whine about a consolidated topic: "a horse ahead of a steam locomotive" and other popular proverbs, however, the BMMP topic is moving.
Wangyu: They will create a draft design - they will whine that no one needs this for nothing. They will create a prototype - they will whine that they will drown. They will test a prototype - they will whine that "it won't roll without pearl buttons." Will go into the series - come up with a reason for whining.

Bauman Brotherhood - good ideas and technical solutions! I believe in you.
And yet, it is correct to say that the machine is created for the Marines, and not for the UDC Mistral.
