Ship's anti-aircraft missile system Dagger

The complex uses a tele-controlled anti-aircraft missile 9M330-2, unified with missiles 9M330 and 9M331 (see description) of ground-based anti-aircraft systems "Tor" and "Tor-M1". 9M330-2 is made according to the aerodynamic scheme "duck" and uses a freely rotating wing block with folding wings. Launch ZUR - vertical under the action of a catapult with further declination of the missile gas-dynamic system, with which less than one second, in the process of climbing to the start height of the marching engine, the missile is turned towards the target.

Shrapnel-type warheads are detonated on command by an impulse radio detonator in the immediate vicinity of the target. The radio detonator is noise-proof and adapts when approaching the water surface. The missiles are placed in transport and launch containers and do not require inspection for 10 years.

The control system of the anti-aircraft missile system "Dagger" is designed for simultaneous use of the ship's missile and artillery weapons on any of the accompanied targets, includes a detection module that solves the following tasks:

• detection of air, including low-flying, and surface targets;
• simultaneous tracking of up to eight targets;
• analysis of the air situation with the setting of targets in accordance with the degree of danger;
• development of target designation data and issuance of data (by range, bearing and angle of position);
• issuance of target designation to the ship's air defense facilities.

Dagger" SAM system is equipped with its own radar detection equipment - K-12-1 module (see photo), which provides the complex complete independence and operational actions in the most difficult conditions. The basis of multichannel complex are phased antenna arrays with electronic beam control and a fast computing complex. The main mode of operation of the complex is automatic (without the participation of personnel), based on the principles of "artificial intelligence".

Built-in in the antenna post television and optical means of target detection not only increases its interference immunity in the conditions of intensive radio interaction, but also allows the staff to visually assess the nature of the escort and target defeat. The radar facilities of the complex are developed at the Research Institute "Quant" under the leadership of V.I. Guz and provide a target detection range of 45 km at an altitude of 3.5 km.

The "Dagger" can simultaneously fire up to four targets in the 60° space sector at 60°, with up to 8 missiles being launched in parallel. The reaction time of the complex is from 8 to 24 seconds, depending on the mode of the radar. In addition to SAM, the Dagger fire control system can control the fire of 30 mm AK-360M assault rifles, producing mature targets at a distance of up to 200 meters.

The 4C95 launcher of the Dagger complex was developed by the Start Design Bureau under the supervision of Chief Designer A.I. Yaskin. PU sub-deck, consists of 3-4 drum-type launch modules, each - 8 TPK with missiles. The weight of the module without missiles is 41.5 tons, covering an area of 113 square meters.
