Is effective whether the «Iron Dome» in a fight with Russia hypersonic weapon? The Pentagon has made a final decision

effective if «Iron Dome» in a fight with Russia hypersonic weapon? The Pentagon has made a final decision

Announced in early February 2019 year preparation for the negotiation by the US defense department and the headquarters of the Israeli military-industrial corporation «Rafael Advanced Defense Systems» contract to supply the US Army units army air defense missile complex two batteries «Iron Dome», consisting of two multi-function AESA-radar EL / M- 2084, two points of combat control, and 240 missile interceptors «Tamir», for a certain period of time it has become one of the most talked about events in Western European and American segments of the Internet.

And there is absolutely nothing surprising, For the first time in the history of the formation of the global arms market highly qualified specialists from the Pentagon and the Subcommittee on tactical means of the Air Force and the US Army at the House of Representatives of the US Congress have seen in the development of anti-missile complex foreign key link for the construction of dense "umbrellas" PRO, providing increase the combat stability of mechanized units of the US Army as part of an expeditionary force. With regard to the superpower, military-industrial complex which boasts such crowns engineering, as a complex medium range missile «Patriot PAC-3MSE», as well as anti-missile systems to intercept ekzoatmosfernogo THHAD and «Aegis Ashore», This situation may seem strange at least. Meanwhile «Rafael» temporary interest shtatovskih military experts to missile brainchild corporations was due to a number of technological advantages of the latter.

Contrast root "Iron Dome": opportunity to reflect the massive attacks of the enemy artillery, without the option of highly interception elements of precision weapons

One of them is an impressive target channel complex «Iron Dome» (order 30 enemy air attack, intercepted a 10-second period), achieved thanks to the highest bandwidth mnogogofunktsionalnoy radar EL / M-2084 (200 to tie for 1 Minute traces purposes), Rate of fire with at 0.3-0.5 (2/3 starting in second), and equipping interceptors «Tamir» active radar homing X / Ku-band, eliminates the need for a battery MRLS by continuous illumination of the elements of precision weapons attack. Due to the above features of «Iron Dome» even a couple of fire control systems divisions missile complex capable to fend off potential Counterbattery conventional and rocket artillery enemy, carrying out blow to friendly positions in the "flying fire".

Furthermore, use of active radar seeker high resolution interceptor «Tamir» guidance system giving skilled «Rafael» killing two birds:

- ensure the possibility of interception projectile cannon and rocket artillery enemy by kinetic defeat / direct hit («hit-to-kill») c high probability of initiation of high explosive or cassette "equipment", or closest approach with the aim of, and then managed initiation warhead «Tamir» missile verified with optimization of spread in the direction of the intercepted fragment object;

- integrate radar architecture "Iron dome" multifunctional radar complex S-band EL / M-2084, that boasts a much longer range (in comparison with X-centimeter range MRLS) due to the lower attenuation UHF length 7,5-15 cm in the atmosphere, and qualities of low noise high power microwave transistors transceiving antenna array modules. As a result of having "counter-battery pedigree" high-potential radar EL / M-2084 provided missile components «Iron Dome» unique ability to intercept 152/155 mm artillery and 122-mm rockets 9M22U type with an effective reflective surface of 0.01-0.015 square. m at distances of more than 35-50 km, while their "grip" on the exact auto tracking can be performed at a distance of 75-80 km from the positions of the missile battery, that can safely be considered one of the best results among the modern anti-aircraft missiles for the Russian and Western Development.

Meanwhile, after a lengthy closed consultations and discussions in the Defense Ministry and the US Congress, the head of the so-called "Command of the US Army's Future" (defense structure, designed to breathe new life into the concept of the formation of long-term appearance of the US Armed Forces in the XXI century) Mike Murray said inappropriate «Iron Dome» further implementation of the contract for the purchase of the Israeli anti-missile systems. About it 8 Martha 2020 has informed the Israeli «The Times of Israel» news and analytical portal citing knowledgeable sources in the Ministry of Defense of the Jewish state and the Pentagon. The main argument in favor of abandoning the US defense department on an ambitious US-Israeli contract Mike Murray brought the situation to the unwillingness of management of the corporation «Rafael» handed over command of US Army source weapons control system complex «Iron Dome», which ultimately prevented the alleged "comprehensive" hardware and software integration, "Iron Dome" in network-centric system of layered air defense / missile defense system the US Army and formed the "gap" in kiberzaschischonnosti element base "Iron Dome".

Nevertheless, It would be extremely naive to believe, that the mere failure "of Rafael" headquarters of the American side of the source code "Iron Dome" could put a fat point in the implementation of the 373 millionth US-Israeli contract, designed to multiply the combat stability of the mechanized units of the US Army in the various theaters of war. It is well known, that has an open architecture complexes PBU «Iron Dome» may well be aggregated into a single network-centric air defense of the US Army or USMC by conjugation with adapters tactical networks of exchange «Link-16" data, MADL, TTNT and t.d. Consequently, talk about any problems in getting combat calculations complexes «Iron Dome» targeting of aircraft AEW E-2D «Advanced Hawkeye» or E-3C / G is not necessary.

Where are more weighty reason for denial of the famous Pentagon and passed the baptism of fire of the Israeli anti-missile complexes «Iron Dome» may well be insufficient maneuverability missiles «Tamir» (allow intercept only malomanevrennye artillery shells), observed in the absence of bodies in their gas-jet control systems (planes) thrust vector deflection, and a gas-dynamic "belts" transverse engine control Pulsed. The latter are used in control systems interceptor missiles MIM-104F PAC-3MSE, «Aster-30" and 9M96E / E2 / DM kompleksov «Patriot PAC-3 ', SAMP-T and C-350 «Vityazy», bringing disposable overload 65 meals. and ensuring the destruction of enemy targets, maneuvering with congestion to 30G.

Antimissile «Tamir», which it is presented for nasal unit aerodynamic rudder control system, placed on a "duck", have disposable Congestion about 30-35 units., as a consequence, are incapable intercept promising means of supersonic and hypersonic aerospace attack, maneuvering with congestion more 15-18G. To date, for such tools include X-47m2 "Dagger" anti / multipurpose missile aeroballistic, tactical BR 9M723-1 "Iskander-M", as well as anti-ship missiles 3M55, "Onyx" and 3M22 "Zircon", seeker and inertial navigation systems which have a software add-ons for both surface ships, and on the shore of a potential enemy's military infrastructure.
