The appearance of the radar equipment "Admiral Gorshkov"
This became known in the morning of November 9 2014, when eyewitnesses received information about the first departure of the ship from the Northern Shipyard slipways associated with the start of sea trials and planned arrival at the FSUE “Kronstadt Marine Plant” production complex, where, apparently, The newest patrol ship of the offshore zone will undergo a comprehensive inspection and revision of the diesel-gas turbine powerplant 2х10Д49 + 2хX90FR with a total power of 65000 l. p., as well as the procedure of cleaning the surface and renovation of coatings, which probably underwent a corrosive effect during the many months of idle time at the Severnaya Verf.
A ship with a design cruising range of more than 4000 miles (7400 km) made its first 25-kilometer trip to Kotlin Island, where the unique offshore factory with the 156-year-old is located history. October 3 “Admiral Gorshkov” was put on demagnetization before the beginning of the first tests and transfers of the Navy at the end of the current - the beginning of the next year.
For our sailors, this “strong fighter” will be a conceptually new ship for two reasons. The first is the departure from the so-called "khutorny" control scheme for combat systems, which is inherent in such ships as the RKR Ave 1164.5 "Moscow", unimproved Ave. 1144.2 class "Kirov". In the ships of these projects, referred to as “aircraft carrier killers,” although there is a proprietary Bios (“Lumberjack-1164”, “Lumberjack-44” and “Alley-2М”), which can receive information about the tactical situation both from attached shipborne RFC “Frigate” -MA ”and“ Voskhod ”or from third-party sources, it only gives target designation to the antenna posts of the C-300FM, Dagger and Dirk aerial posts, which operate independently (with the help of their MRLS), that's what“ khutornaya "Scheme.
The “Sigma-22350” CUS, installed on 22350 Ave., has, firstly, a completely new digital transmission system of incoming information, which turns the frigate into a single “living combat organism”, where between the air defense system a clear distribution of targets is made according to their degree of danger ( priorities). At the same time, the new main radar equipment on the frigate gives it maximum combat stability with a minimum amount of equipment.
For example, cruisers of the above reviewed projects carry the Fregat-MA and Voskhod RLOs, which, with a decent range of target detection of 300-500 km, have relatively low throughput of 80-150 targets, and lower accuracy, which does not allow to be used as a radar targeting missiles with ARGSN, such as the EMPL “EMPAR”, because they work not in the S-band of the DM-waves (shooting range “Aster-30”), but in the E-band of the DM-waves, more suitable for viewing the space.
The “Admiral Gorshkov” does not have several survey radars with heavy equipment. Judging by the photographs taken at Severnaya Verf, under the fairing of the main detection antenna post, either the 5P27 Furke, which has a detection range of the 180-200 km fighter, is hidden, and the number of trails followed is 200 with an accuracy of 4-5 more than “Voskhod” with “Frigate”, or the more advanced radar “Fregat-MAE-4K”, which operates in the rarely encountered H-band of the CM-waves (located between the X and G-band), i.e. in the event of the failure of the main MRLS Polimet, the Furke-2 and Frigate-MAE-4K RLOs can perform the target illumination, the latter even including the PZARGSN missile system, based on the fact that the MRLS of the Patriot air defense missile system AN / MPQ-53 operates in the G-band, which is lower than the H-band, but still allows direct highlighting of the PARGSN.
On the 5P20K Polimer Radar, there is still not very much information, but it is clear that it will work in the X-band, accompanying more than 200 targets at ranges up to 200 km. Unlike the decimeter AN / SPY-1, there is no need for radar "searchlights" for continuous illumination of the target. “Polyment” is represented by an 4-sided AFAR and is capable of simultaneously firing 16 targets. The concept of this radar is used in the APAR MRLS of German frigates of the 124 Ave. Saxony and is the most advanced in the world.
The work of the Poliment-Redut air defense system using the 9М96 missile defense system is well honed on the corvette pr.20380 “Savvy”, which gives this small patrol ship the capabilities to carry out a powerful missile defense system. Range of missiles is not limited to a single the latter can be used to protect a small ship order from the strong blows of an EHV.
In addition to the Redut air defense system, the 22350 avenue is equipped with two AFC 3Р89 "Palash", which will achieve the goals that "managed" to overcome the Redoubt missile defense system. The 9М337 SAM has an initial flight speed of 1200 m / s, which makes it possible to reach the target in 1,5-3 seconds, and even in the case of its maneuver, intercept and destroy, the missile is able to maneuver with the 45-52 overload unit. It uses radio command + laser adjustable guidance beam that is transmitted to the receiver of laser radiation in the rocket.
The control beam is corrected according to the target designation of the laser rangefinder and synchronized TV and thermal imaging channels introduced into the Shar optoelectronic sighting system, which is installed as the “head and eyes” of the combat module, very reminiscent of Robot.
OLPK “Ball” - built on the basis of highly sensitive infrared and high-resolution TV-matrix using a powerful laser control module and high-quality enlightened optics
For conducting artillery fire on the frigates of the type “Admiral Gorshkov” a 5-10 “Puma” radar sight was installed, also on the basis of PAR, introduced into the Sigma-22350 structure.
In less than a five-year period, Russian specialists built a patrol ship of the far sea zone, which far exceeds most of the western ships of this type, and behind the scenes, along with German frigates of the Saxony type and the Dutch “De Zeven Province”, leaves the American Aegis far behind the advanced lines of technical progress in the field of missile defense of the middle line.
