Wings for military topographers

Wings for military topographersThe Russian Armed Forces are working on the creation of a modern aircraft-mapper of a new generation, ITAR-TASS reported with reference to Rear-Admiral Sergei Kozlov, head of the Topographic Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The admiral did not specify to the agency what the new aircraft would be. Perhaps in some ways it will be similar to the Tu-154-LK-1, created on the basis of the passenger Tu-154. It is also called crystal, because it has 450 mm quartz glass windows and two 750 windows on 800 mm in it.

The main value of the new flying cartographer will, of course, be its equipment, designed to quickly and accurately obtain geospatial information about the terrain for the compilation of state topographic maps. Until recently, they were compiled using 70 – 80-s equipment of the last century. But the troops are already receiving new software and hardware complexes, for example, a system of digital information about the terrain and a unified automated system for providing geospatial information, the development work on which ended literally last year. Both systems are included in the subsystem of topographic, geodetic and navigation support of a promising automatic command and control system for troops.

The new aircraft will be a significant help in the work of military topographers. But the main work on remote sensing of the Earth will continue from space. Here are also planned breakthrough projects. In particular, Roscosmos promised in the period from 2017-th to 2018 year to put into orbit eight spacecraft, which will take only a week to capture the entire territory of Russia.

However, the problems of topographic, geodetic and navigational support of the Armed Forces are not solved in space and sky, but on the ground, in the cabinets by specialists. And yet they cannot agree among themselves on how to integrate topographic and geodetic and navigation software into a single system of geo-information support for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

    Of course, a new advanced technology is essential!
    But if there is still a problem in the offices, this means that the main organizational issues in this important area have not been resolved, and there are also no competent managers to integrate topographic and geodetic and navigation support into a single system. These problems will be a brake!

    It is necessary to come to an agreement quickly, it is not necessary to rely on and rely on JP&S, and space systems (domestic) must be taken care of urgently.

      In this case, it's not just about geolocation, as I understand it. Perhaps they are trying to solve the issues of eliminating (reducing) errors that arise when joining geodata of terrain fragments during standard (previously used) topographic surveys and updating the available topodata for a promising automated combat control system. So as in a computer toy - "tanks to the left, planes to the right", just point with the "mouse" who, how, where and when... And to "make a fairy tale come true" you need such an airplane, or rather a correct topographic survey of the surface. Otherwise, we launch missiles at 10000m with an "uncontrolled" error in cartography. We need to fix it ... Well done Russian cartographers (and their sympathizers) wink

    Can anyone explain why to use such a large aircraft ??? The larger the car, the steeper the resolution on the maps will be ??? It is very reminiscent of the fact that in the late 80s a dozen Finns began to be transported to Ikarus objects, then, having driven a bit, they spat and wrote off a minibus from their homeland.

    And what does not suit them, for example, Geofizika-2? By the way, I agree! Tu-154 with its cruiser will not slip through "large objects"? Only in Geophysics is the problem now. Can SSS say?

      Geophysics in a single copy. Myasishchevsky Design Bureau in Zhukovsky under the control of the UAC. M-55 (Geophysics) last time flew in December 2011 (Siberia, North). OAK does nothing. Therefore, I think the M-55 will remain in a single copy.

      And there are only two of them. And thought for high-altitude flights. Does one have to climb so high for mapping?

        Need higher, a reconnaissance satellite equipped with a synthetic aperture radar solves all mapping problems. But to create a plane for mapping in the age of UAVs ... belay Is this a joke? what What then? New steam locomotives for Russian Railways? request

    The main thing is that the satellites work in orbit, and not at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

    The good news is that they are facing the problems of topography. At one time, a solid and solid topography was left to chance and left for survival itself, even the educational institution was eliminated as an independent unit, for which I thank S.A.E. There are many problems, but still in our hands. Good luck to them!

      The complexity here is not in the relationship between departments, but in the differences and features of existing systems. Topographic and geodetic reference networks were created at different times by different departments. Mapping of the mainland was carried out by the ministries of geology, the cartography and cartographic services of the General Staff, mapping the coast of the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific ocean coast with Navy hydrographs. Scaling of naval maps in miles, topographic in kilometers. Different scans (Mercator and Krasovsky), so much shorter than inconsistencies in the geodetic reference network that there are so many that maybe these specialists themselves do not know.
      So the problems are not from reluctance.

        Listen dear comrade, do not mislead the audience, the science of topography is one and the same, and the problem is not in it (there are more than one hundred HUNDRED years of Russian topography !!!), but in roskartography which tries to dance to the bore everything ... including GPS ...
