Aircraft Managed Weapon System Threat (S-5kor, S-8kor, S-13kor)

In the course of modernization, the missiles are equipped with flight-detachable head units, stabilized by opening plumage. At C-5kor, the plumage consists of four petals and opens with a spring, at C-8kor and C-13kor - the plumage is six petals and opens with a gas piston (see photo). The homing system provides the capability to engage small ground targets (tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, APCs, etc.) of almost all types. At the same time, laser illumination (lasting about 1 sec.) can be carried out either from a carrier aircraft (a carrier helicopter), or from another aircraft or a ground target designation pointing device. The flight of the head unit is corrected by means of pulsed rocket engines (see photo). Several missiles are proposed to engage a single target, which significantly increases the probability of the target being hit.

Equipping combat aircraft, previously in service with only uncontrollable aircraft rockets of traditional types, complex "threat" increases their performance on the criterion of "efficiency-cost" in three or four times. The consumption of ammunition for hitting standard targets is reduced by more than 50 times.

For transportation and launch of S-13kor missiles the B-13 launcher is used, which provides the possibility to launch both on multichannel control system and on single-channel, single or series of commands from the carrier board. Protection of the missiles in the launcher from aerodynamic heating is provided by heat-resistant gaskets. Emergency separation of the B-13L unit from the launch vehicle is performed by means of a built-in pyromechanism.

Introduction of "Threat" complex can be carried out at the minimum changes made in a design of aircraft-carriers, starting devices and ground infrastructure that favourably distinguishes it from other complexes of aviation high-precision weapon. Upgrading of existing ANRs can be carried out directly in parts or on storage bases (including outside Russia) using air mobile workshops.

Similarly, the AMETECH Association intends to improve ammunition for army howitzers and howitzer guns of 100, 122, 152, 155, 203 and 305 mm calibre, rifled and smooth-bore guns with high initial projectile velocity (100, 105, 120, 125 and 130 mm), mortars (81, 82, 120, 160 and 240 mm) and multiple launch rocket systems (105, 122, 140 and 240 mm).
