The complex is designed for long-range over-the-horizon detection
MOSCOW, January 20. /tass/. The Leningrad Naval Base received the Monolit-BR coastal radar detection and targeting system in 2021, commander of the 55th separate coastal Missile Division Alexey Mitor said on Thursday.
"Kaluga Instrument-Making Plant Typhoon, within the framework of a state contract, has manufactured and delivered the Monolit-BR coastal radar detection and targeting system for the needs of the Russian Navy," Mitor reported to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu during a single day of military acceptance.
He clarified that the complex is currently being deployed to positions in the area of responsibility of the Leningrad Naval Base.
The Monolit-BR complex is designed for long-range over-the-horizon detection, tracking and classification of surface and low-flying air targets for the use of land-based and sea-based missile systems.
The complex has highly sensitive channels of active and passive radar, a channel of radar state identification. The possibility of combined use of these channels ensures combat stability and stealth operation. The efficiency of solving the assigned combat tasks and tactical flexibility is provided by an integrated digital control and communication system.
