RVSN introduces fourth generation combat management system - Defense Ministry
MOSCOW. May 10 (Interfax) - Modernization of the combat management system in the re-equipped units has begun in the Strategic Missile Troops (RVSN), Colonel Igor Yegorov, an official for the Russian Defense Ministry's press service and information department for RVSN, told Interfax.
"The fourth generation combat management, which is being put in place in the RVSN with the introduction into service of a mobile ground strategic missile system Yars makes it possible to considerably increase the probability and range of orders communication using better communication facilities," the Defense Ministry official said.
The official said that will make it possible to use missile systems in unlimited ranges in maneuvers and expand the possibility for selecting combat patrolling routes in the future.
"The use of prospective mobile management points will ensure stable, continuous and prompt nuclear weapons management, with regard for the characteristics of combat use of both the existing and prospective strategic missile systems in real time scale," Yegorov said.
The introduction into service and equipment with a new automatic combat management system of the re-equipped RVSN units will help begin the modernization of the existing stationary management points in the future, he said.
Additionally, RVSN plans to begin introducing links of the fifth generation integrated automatic combat management system in cooperation with the industry in 2016. This system is based on a digital combat order communication system. The system will make it possible to promptly re-direct missiles and resolve information support tasks and tasks relating to the management of daily command activities by RVSN, units and divisions. Reports will be collected using wire, wireless and satellite communication channels that have the needed viability and jamming resistance.
The newest automatic combat management system envisage communication of combat management orders directly to launch systems, bypassing the intermediate links, including in a situation of nuclear impact and radioelectronic jamming.
The prospective automatic systems, both fourth generation and fifth generation, are compact, have low energy consumption, hidden data transmission, and are resistant to external impact and reliable.
