SAM 2K12 "Cube" (export variant & ldquo; SQUARE & rdquo;)

Designed for air defense troops from aircraft, Aircraft missiles, flying at low and medium altitudes both subsonic, and at supersonic speeds. SAM 2K12 "Cube" and its modifications (2K12M1, 2K12M2 2K12MZ) mass produced during the seventies to the present time are in service with the Russian army, and many foreign countries. At the present time more effectively combat current and future means of air attack (aerodynamics and rocket) 2Q12 and complex modifications fundamentally modernized, they give new quality, significantly improve the performance characteristics.

It provides advanced SAM "Cube":
• reliability by transferring units and units on modern element base of Russian production, as well as the proposed foreign customer;
• centralized management through the introduction of SAM in its composition of new means of centralized management, SAM and conjugation with centralized management means, standing armed with a foreign customer.

AT 1996-1998 Years upgraded SAM “Square”. The SAMs were introduced:
• processing digital moving target indication signals;
• A new transmitter illumination purposes;
• Class goals recognition system;
• Light regulation mode:
• maintenance mode goals through television-optical sight.
AT 1999-2000 years in accordance with the agreed terms of reference modernization SAM “Square” and its modifications, supplied to export markets, It will be conducted in these areas. The purpose of modernization – creation of SAM with improved technical and operational characteristics -2K12M5 (SAM “Square-M”). Modernization to be fighting, technical equipment and fire control facilities SAM.

ORDNANCE upgraded SAM “Square-M” It supposed to be composed of:
• modernized self-propelled exploration and guidance – Archers 1S91M2E;
• modernized four self-propelled launchers – SPU 2P25M2É;
• a self-propelled fire installation – SOU 9A310M1 from the 9K37M1 SAM "Buk-M1", modified for docking with sunray and SPU and employs a three-Zour ZM9MZ, or four SAM SAM "Buk-M1-2″;
• SAM missiles “Buk-M1-2” (Up to four units), placed on the SDA;
• the mobile station automatically detecting passive radio sources “Orion” (85B6), allowing to make detection emitting objects purposes. “Orion” It provides automatic panoramic view of space, Signal processing using CMC, transmission of information on Surnov as targeting (CU) PP and PA of an analog form directly or through TWFP. “Orion” It is mounted on a mobile base (UAZ), operated by one person. Source of power – autonomous. Number of goals, which may be issued to the user information – 30-50. SDA may be attached to one SPU 2P25M2E to provide a fire control with SDA or one ROM 9A39 with eight missiles SAMs “Buk-M1-2”.

Type and composition of combat means SAM “Square-M” It may be determined by foreign customer
The structure of fire management upgraded SAM tools “Square-M "is intended to introduce:
• modernized with the device K-1 “Crab”;
• command and control point (PBU) – product 9S470M1 (KP) from the complex “Buk-M1”;
• post processing radar information (Seasons) 9S467-2VM2.
It is assumed replacement of radar early warning type P-40, P-18( 12) P-19(15) of “Crab "in the modern target detection station (SOC) 9S18 type of phased array, mating with AR 9S470M1 continue with the JMA 9A310M1 through tele-code communication system.

The type and composition of the above controls also determined foreign customer.
The hardware SAM “Square-M1 "in addition to those included:
• 9T243 transport vehicle for transportation of missiles;
• automated control and test mobile station 9V95M1 missile control;
• Workshop maintenance 9V881M1.
As a result of the modernization of ADMS “Square” and its modifications is supposed to receive the following combat and technical characteristics of the system “Square-M”:
• increase the combat performance 1,8-2 fold:
• an increase in noise immunity and secrecy work;
• an increase in height in the affected area 1,5-1,8 fold, in the range of 1,3-1,7 fold;
• increase the number of simultaneously engaged targets up to two;
• a significant expansion of the park of the targeted objectives.

Increased combat performance is provided by the parallel operation of the two channel-fire (Archers 1S91M2E – SPU 2P25M2É and SOU 9A310M1 -spiro). The increase in noise immunity and stealth operation SAM “Square-M” provided by the high noise immunity and SDA 9A310M1 onboard equipment SAM missiles “Buk-M1”, due to the introduction of the 12-a literal Surnov transmitter illumination purposes and the selection of digital moving targets (TSSDTS) and applying stations “Orion”.
The increase in the affected area SAM “Square-M” provided independent work channel JMA 9A310M1 offline before:
• height of the 15 m to 22000 m for the SAM missiles “Beech-M1 -2”;
• The range of 3 km to 40 km for the 9M317 missile, Vu = 830 m / s, and Nc = 10000 m;
• The range of 3 km to 22 km Nc = 50-100 m for SAM missiles “Buk-M1-2 ".

upgraded SAM “Cube-M” could provide defeat aircraft tactical and strategic aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles with a range of start-up 50-150 km (missile air defense system “Buk-M1-2”), winged aircraft Alcmene type missiles, “Maverick” and “Want to see”, UAB type “Walleye”, helicopters and UAVs, as well as surface targets such as boat and a frigate (SAM missiles “Buk-M1-2”) and ground taxiways purposes.
Probability of defeat SAMs “Cube-M” by firing a missile air defense system “Buk-M1-2” for different types of targets will be 0,7-0,95.
Probability of defeat does not degrade by more than 15-20 percent when jamming missile guidance systems.
