"These are up-to-date digital communications systems from our manufacturers Sozvezdiye and Ryazan Radio Plant. The high degree of automation featured by the equipment slashes the workload on the crew considerably, reducing their role in arranging the communications to the minimum.
The systems allow communicating with higher headquarters and adjacent units in real time as part of the common command and control system," the news release quotes UIC Director General Sergei Skokov as saying. The advanced systems are designed for voice and data communications via digital channels using various frequencies. They are commonized in terms of operating modes and frequency ranges and are furnished with highly sophisticated cryptologic protections. The equipment is compatible with other hardware of the kind designed to fit out future combat vehicles that are now in development. Defense contractor Kurganmashzavod (a subsidiary of Tractor Plants) is to receive 60 communications sets before the end of the year for installation in BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) and BTR-MDM Rakushka APCs. Truck manufacturer KAMAZ will have taken delivery of 70 communications systems before year-end to equip Typhoon-K armored vehicles. Derivatives of the Armata heavy tracked platform, as well as the Kurganets-25 IFV and Bumerang APC, are expected to be provided with the communications systems of the type further down the line. "Sets of communications aids are tailored to particular armored vehicles. They may differ, say, in the length of wires, the configuration of antennas or the number of intercom and switching units. Since advanced technologies keep on evolving and the requirements to military equipment is getting ever more stringent, we continue to upgrade the system and improve its performance," the press office quotes Ryazan Radio Plant Deputy Executive Director Igor Chernyshov as saying. |
