Tekhmash creates a new corrected projectile

Specialists of the Tekhmash concern are developing the concept of a corrected projectile of caliber 152 mm for artillery systems, reports to TASS the message of the deputy general director of the enterprise Alexander Kochkin.

Техмаш создаёт новый корректируемый снаряд

According to Kochkin, the new projectile will follow a normal ballistic trajectory after being fired, but closer to the target, it will begin to adjust its flight due to its own control system.

he noted, that it is quite difficult to introduce a control system into such ammunition due to powerful dynamic loads - the projectile experiences them at the moment of firing, when rotating in the bore and then in flight. Optics in such conditions (at speeds up to 30 thousand. rps) will not work - the picture will be blurred. Therefore, development is considered difficult., added Kochkin.

The CEO also said, that the designers are considering several ways to adjust the flight at the final stage, including, these can be aerodynamic surfaces on the fuse or the use of jet miniature engines.

Wherein, According to him, adjustable ammunition should occupy an average price niche - more expensive than conventional shells, but cheaper than managed type "Krasnopol". He added, that this development is not included in the state armament program, so the corporation will conduct it at its own expense.

Agency reminds, what 1980 years in Russia, a 152-mm corrected projectile has already been created, dubbed "centimeter". It was used by Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Correction of its trajectory began meters for 600 to the goal, illuminated by a laser pointer. The flight was corrected by the inclusion of jet engines.
