Russia’s Pantsir-S1 missile system will now repel attacks without an operator

World 11:45 28.07.2020

The Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems received a unique automated control system. It is capable of detecting, classifying and firing at aerial targets without operator intervention,EDNews.net reports citing Bulgarian Military News.

The developed algorithms instantly determine the importance of objects and arrange the order of their destruction, depending on the danger they pose. This is necessary to combat current threats in today’s fast-paced combat, when everything is decided in a matter of seconds. New opportunities, according to experts, will not only significantly increase the efficiency of the complex, but also save expensive missiles.

Ready to hit

Divisions and batteries of Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile-gun systems (ZRPK) were able to operate completely autonomously, sources in the Ministry of Defense and the military-industrial complex told Izvestia. The new automated control system is designated in the documents as “having signs of artificial intelligence.”

Its software takes into account the tactical situation, the location of targets, the degree of their danger, other parameters and selects the optimal tactics for repelling the raid.

The system is designed specifically to protect against massive attacks by any airborne means of destruction – from homemade kamikaze drones to cruise and ballistic missiles. Under her control, combat batteries can also effectively cover each other with rocket and cannon fire.

At the beginning of the year, the chief designer of the Pantsirey Valery Slugin announced that it was planned to further increase the firepower of the complex. You can also install simplified controls on them and turn them into combat vehicles.

At the same time, such an auxiliary launcher will receive target designation from the command post of a battery, a battalion or another full-fledged air defense missile system. In this way, the unit will be able to double the ammunition load of missiles that are constantly ready for launch, which will be useful when repelling powerful attacks.

Modern anti-aircraft combat is fleeting – everything is decided by seconds, and human capabilities, unfortunately, are limited. With a massive air strike, the commander does not always have time to analyze the situation, especially if the attack is coming from different directions, explained the former chief of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Russian Air Force,

Lieutenant General Alexander Gorkov said: “In this case, the commander should come to the aid of the computer equipment of the complex, – said the expert. – Special algorithms have been developed and programs have been created that can instantly determine the importance of targets and build the order of their destruction, depending on the danger they pose.”

The new capabilities will not only significantly increase the effectiveness of the complex, but will also make it possible to competently and economically use its ammunition, the general concluded.
