Chrysanthemum-S is one of the main Russian exhibits at IDEX-2015
The complex "Chrysanthemum-S" was developed and produced by Kolomna Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau (included in "High-precision complexes")
“We decided to hold the first demonstration of the Chrysanthemum-S complex abroad on IDEX due to the great interest shown to it by the UAE armed forces,” said the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov.
According to him, colleagues from the UAE have already proposed to install the complex on their own wheeled platform.
“We, on our part, consider it possible not only to supply ready-made Chrysanthemum-S complexes, but also are ready to carry out joint work on the adaptation of combat modules to various customer platforms. “Chrysanthemum-S” is a unique modern anti-tank tool, so it is not surprising that in the Arab countries it has attracted attention, ”Chemezov emphasized.
The Chrysanthemum-S anti-tank missile system was based on the BMP-3 tracked chassis, which “allowed, due to the unification of components and assemblies, to reduce production costs and subsequent machine operation, provided it with high maneuverability, throughput, mobility and ability to overcome water obstacles,” says Rostec message.
The complex can travel over rough terrain with a speed of 45 km / h, the maximum speed on the highway is 70 km / h, the distance to be covered without refueling is 600 km. Time to bring ATGW to combat status - 20 seconds.
“Today, Chrysanthemum-S is the only anti-tank missile system in the world capable of detecting and destroying targets without optical visibility under conditions of smoke, fog and snowfall at any time of day, thanks to the radar and optical-laser channels. The simultaneous operation of the two channels allows the technology to conduct two goals and launch rockets automatically, ”the website indicates.
The complex is equipped with a unique radar. “A locator creates a radio beam that is invisible to humans and operates in the millimeter range. When the beam finds the target and the rocket starts, the hit is inevitable. Radio beam guidance is carried out without operator participation, ”explained Rostec.
The ammunition includes 15 missiles, which may be 2-x types: anti-tank (with a cumulative warhead) and anti-personnel (high-explosive).
According to the developers, “the complex is capable of hitting armored vehicles, including Tanks, engineering structures, low-flying low-speed air targets, boats and small-tonnage ships, enemy personnel (in shelters and in open areas) at a distance of up to 6 km. ”
