Release 2009-07.

Abstract.

This document describes the tactical missile system for special operations. The missile system is intended for the unexpected hidden attacks of the stationary and mobile targets. The additional reconnaissance of target may be executed after the missile has been launched.

The basis of concept of the missile system consists of such principles:
* The line-of-sight "launcher - target" is absent;
* The locations of launcher and gunner are diversified in space;
* The additional reconnaissance of target and the aiming are being executed after the missile has been launched;
* The construction of missile system consists of the electronic components and materials being freely purchased at the market;

Considering the principles mentioned above the design of missile system is like that:
* The teleguidance of the II kind is used;
* The missile is equipped with the electrooptical (CCD/IIR) seeker;
* The link between the missile and the gunner's Missile Launch & Control Device (MLCD) is realized through the digital wideband radio link;
* The image of terrain in the field of view of the missile seeker is being transmitted to the display of gunner's MLCD through the radio link;
* The CCD/IIR seeker of missile has a correlator built with using the Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The correlator is used for the realization of principle "Fire & Forget" and for attack of targets being shielded with the jammers working at the bandwidth of the radio link "MLCD - missile";

================================================== ===================
The concept of design and using of the missile system:
* To develop and produce secretly the components of the missile system at the geographically distributed production network;
* To deliver secretly the components of the missile system to the region of attack;
* To assemble and prepare the missile system for the fire;
* To locate secretly the missile system at the zone of missile launch;
* To execute the hidden attack of target;
================================================== ===================

The principle of design of the missile system - the distributed development, testing, production and distribution of the units and devices of missile system.
The principle of using of the missile system - the attack of the stationary or mobile target with the guided missile. The firing is mainly being executed beyond the line-of-sight "gunner - target".

In accordance with the concept of the concerned missile system and with the typical targets to be destroyed by missile system, the Low Speed High Manoeuvre - LSHM missile is used for this missile system.

So the versatility and the flexibility of tactical usage of the missile system are achieved.
************************************************** ****************************

The appendix A1 describes the Very Low Speed High Maneuverable – VLSHM missile. The distinction of missile is the very low speed of flight coupled with the high maneuverability. This feature enables to discover and attack the masked targets. The VLSHM missile is based at the Low Speed High Maneuverable – LSHM missile with exchanging the two units: WBU and FMU.

What is your idea of this concept?

IIRC the Brits are now back to arming their squads with Minimis too, after having tried a concept of two LSWs per squad and no belt-fed weapon at all for some time.

Personally i think we will find the Marine Corps going back to belt-fed weapons rather sooner than later. From my experience, i would never substitute belt-feds with Magazine-feds in my squads, it would too drasticly reduce the capacity of supressive fire. ]]> Rythm http://www.defencetalk.com/forums/army-security-forces/usmc-future-iar-flawed-concept-9761/ http://www.defencetalk.com/forums/army-security-forces/btr-82-a-9730/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:59:58 GMT Can anyone find anything more then Arzamas Factory announcement that production of these vehicles starts next year?

The turret will have a new stabilization mechanism, and new optics.

I am a design student in the University of Bradford, UK. There might be other fellows here who are designers and/or who work for the Indian army. Never been an SUV enthusiast myself but I fancy Landrover and hope to get into it as a designer.

Enough said, I actually have a request for all the members who know a lot more about Indian army than I do. My project is to design a light armoured SUV such as a LR wolf or the Humvee for the Indian Army operations. Since the army have a fleet of Mahindra Axes, I decided to find out the design requirements that were briefed for the Axe. Any information on the vehicle or anything you feel that I should know for this project would be appreciated a lot. I hope to gather a lot of info from this. Thank you. ]]> vaaraga http://www.defencetalk.com/forums/army-security-forces/design-project-9693/ http://www.defencetalk.com/forums/army-security-forces/small-arms-question-7-62-x-51mm-nato-round-9692/ Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:54:41 GMT Hello, I am doing some research on the 7.62 x 51mm NATO round, which was offered by the US as the T-65 round during the mid-50's ammo competition held to adopt a standardized NATO smalls arms rifle/MG round.

I am aware that the T-65 was essentially a shortened 30-06 round, dropping from a length of 63mm to 51mm. What I am interested in finding out is if anyone is aware of additional source material on the competition itself, and/or what other rounds were offered during the competition.

Thank you to all who assist.

I'm sure you know Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) well enough, so I will not go on about the principal of how it works.

Quite some time ago when reading about new light and medium armoured vehicles i came across NERA. Essentially it does the same as ERA, it deflects some of the kinetic energy of a KE penetrator and the effects of a HEAT round.

But as it says in the name, it does not explode. So far I've heard of rubber (not a joke) and EMP going through the out most layer of the armour and in some way offering protection.

Does anyone here know more than I do? (Doesn't take much, does it?:crazy)

Hi guys!

Though I have been a part of the Swedish Navy, i am interested in all forms of military issues. I have been drawing my ideal Swedish army in my own mind for quite some time, and I thought I might join DefenseTalk to get other thoughts on this topic.

Beeing that we are close to Russia and have a very long coastline + being a long and narrow country, what type of army would you ideally like to see for Sweden? If you have any interest in this topic, please take a few minutes to write down a general outline of a strong swedish army, tanks? artillery? mechanized infantry??? It's all up to you!

I will set up a few rules though,

1. The navy & airforce are not to be taken into concideration, we will assume that they are up to date and in sync when it comes to size/capabilities.
2. Any type of military hardware is allowed, no matter what country it comes from.
3. DON'T ridicule the current Swedish army/navy/airforce for it's small size or otherwise, please respect this!

Sweden facts (for those who are unaware):

Seden is a constitutional monarchy in northern Europe.
It is 449 964 square kilometers in size and is covered by water by 8,7%
Sweden is 1572 km long and approx 500 km wide at its widest point
75% of Swedens landmass is covered by forrest, mostly fur-trees but also other types
There are mountains in northern Sweden, the southern part being mostly flat farmland
It has 9 300 000 inhabitants
