Serial deliveries of the Magister air defense control system will begin this year. This was announced on Wednesday, March 31, by the press service of the state Corporation "Rostec".
"The holding company "Roselektronika" of the state corporation "Rostec" in 2021 will begin mass production of complexes of automated control of fire means of military air defense "Magister-SV". The new unified module is designed for air space reconnaissance using external and built — in means of reconnaissance and coordination of anti-aircraft combat," the press release of the state corporation says.
As specified in the press service, the complex has already passed state tests and is accepted for the supply of the Russian army.
The complex is equipped with an optoelectronic station that can detect, recognize and track aerial targets.
"To provide such technical capabilities, the developers needed to create a database of optical characteristics of various air targets and features of natural interference radiation, "Rostec noted.
In addition, the Magister air defense system is equipped with a small-sized radar detector, it is able to measure the coordinates of targets with high accuracy.
"When developing a unified control module, special attention is paid to improving the stealth and survivability of the air defense group. It also provides for the possibility of integrating advanced and existing anti-aircraft weapons into the air defense control subsystem, capable of combating attacking elements of high — precision weapons and multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicles," the press release says.
It is noted that the software and technical solutions implemented in the Magister-SV air defense system make it possible to effectively combat existing and promising means of enemy air attack.
The development and production of the complexes is carried out by JSC " Scientific and Production Enterprise "Rubin "(part of the concern " Vega "of the holding "Roselektronika" of the state Corporation "Rostec").
"The unified module includes qualitatively new means of air space reconnaissance that meet modern requirements for the range and accuracy of detecting air targets. This is an optoelectronic station, a remote optoelectronic surveillance device, a small-sized radar detector and a radio intelligence station, " said Vyacheslav Mikheev, General Director of Vega.
In November last year, the industrial director of the arms complex of the state Corporation "Rostec" Bekhan Ozdoev called the start of serial production of the latest guided missile "Bulat". According to him, it will start in 2022. The development work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021.
