TSAMTO, July 2. During the X International Exhibition of Weapons and Military Equipment "MILEX-2021", a new product of the weapons forum – the "Whistle" robotic complex was presented at the stand of the Belspetsvneshtechnika State Technical University.
It is a short-range weapon and is an unmanned ground-based low-visibility combat vehicle equipped with a rotary platform.
The complex is equipped with a package of 18 guides for firing 57-mm unguided S-5 jet aircraft missiles and is designed for effective firing from the spot at ranges up to 4000 m at enemy manpower, armored and unarmored targets. The combat robot is controlled remotely via a secure radio channel with a patented technology for countering electronic warfare.
The more advanced optical-electronic station "Chizh-D", which replaced the former OSE "Grach", located on the combat module, is equipped with thermal imaging and television cameras with different fields of view, as well as a laser rangefinder, which allows the robotic complex to detect large armored targets at a distance of more than 3,300 m. The complex is integrated into a single automated control system "Alliance", which allows using" Whistle " in combination with other robotic platforms from a single control point located on a stationary object.
The universal transport platform of the RK "Whistle "is similar to the chassis of the robotic fire complex" Berserk", and the combat module can be used separately from the tracked platform as an autonomous firing point.
The Whistl complex is able to determine its own location, course and slope. It is equipped with an intelligent system that calculates the aiming angle and the firing direction.
The complex has two modes of guidance: by coordinates (used for shooting from closed firing positions) and by the observed target.
Technical characteristics of the robotic complex "Whistle": optoelectronic station-OES "Chizh – D", armament-NAR S – 5, weight,-2200 kg, overall dimensions – 1800x1400x2500 mm, operating time on the battery (in standby mode), – 24 hours, track width – 1.1 m, ground clearance – 180 mm, angles of the front and rear overhang – 35 degrees, type of power plant – hybrid, maximum speed – 5 km/h, power reserve – 30 km, the control range in urban conditions is 2000 m, in open areas – 5000 m.
The "Whistle" robotic complex was first presented to a wide audience at the parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, and in October 2020 it successfully passed the first field tests with shooting.
The message is posted in open access on the website of the State Military Industry Committee of the Republic of Belarus.
