PRP-3 "Shaft" and the PDP-4 "Nard" mobile intelligence points


		PRP-3 «Shaft» and PRP-4 «Nard» mobile intelligence points

PRP-4A

Work on the creation of mobile intelligence point PRP-3 "Val" were initiated on the instructions of, sformulyrovannomu in 1963 year. The main tasks of the PDP were: reconnaissance of ground targets, information processing and software targeting missile and artillery systems. In this case, the PDP had to maintain high performance of the base of the machine (BMP-1): excellent maneuverability, good cross, high speed movement, sufficient armor protection and the ability to overcome the water barrier by swimming.

PRP was developed Rubtsovsky machinery plant. His first option, PRP-3 "Val", He entered the series in 1972 year. This machine is different from the BMP and BRM another tower with a 7.62-mm machine gun and a whole sets of reconnaissance equipment, comprising: 1RL126 radar reconnaissance of ground targets, rangefinder 1D6, surveillance equipment and 10P79 1PN29, as well as navigation equipment and two radio stations R-223M. Besides, PRP had termodymovuyu apparatus for smoke-screens and 2P130-1 launcher for launching projectiles lighting 9M41.

Further development of the PRP-3 became a reconnaissance point PRP-4, which compared to the first machine is equipped with more sophisticated intelligence hardware: vision devices 1PN59, night vision devices 1PN61, improved radar 1RL-133-1 and the active-pulsed laser rangefinder 1D11 M-1. Also introduced new data transmission equipment and new means of communication. The standard equipment of the new machine is included self-power unit, and removed from the weapons launcher shells lighting. PRP-4M was adopted in 1988 year, and a part of its equipment added thermal imaging infrared surveillance device, periscope laser rangefinder with improved characteristics and a portable laser survey instrument. The final date of the machine series PDP became a PDP-5,
designed for reconnaissance stationary and moving ground targets by day and night, in any weather. Reconnaissance point PRP-5 is equipped with radar, thermal imaging surveillance device, laser rangefinder, night-active pulse and day periscope surveillance device, Equipment Navigation and orientation, electronic calculator Information Processing, hardware and data communications, equipment for the organization of an observation post. PRP were in service units of artillery reconnaissance artillery units and formations of the Soviet Army, as well as countries of armies – former republics of the USSR.
