In the field exercises, the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion of the guards Taman motorized rifle division of the Western Military District (ZVO) confidently pick up tongues, using hand-to-hand combat techniques, qualitatively putting them “faces in a table”. "Consumer electronics"“The main problem is to find fighters who have an alloy of muscles and brains,” Senior Lieutenant Igor Aparin says to the Guards. - A real scout should be well versed in technology and be able to use " consumer electronics"intelligence". This is how the reconnaissance officer jokingly calls the highly automated optoelectronic systems, which are now standard in his unit. So in the field, while some scouts are engaged in "laying" paired patrols of a mock enemy in the snow, others are peacefully sitting in the bushes with a small square box of green color. "These are our eyes and ears, - Igor Aparin comments. - The Fara-VR radar station (RLS) has become indispensable for scouts." "Fara-VR" shines through The portable short-range reconnaissance radar is crammed with high-tech equipment. It is enough for the scout to put the Faro-VR on a tripod and turn it on. Then she works on her own. If a target appears in the sector, the station gives an alarm, automatically stops in this direction and in seconds determines the nature of the target seen - is it a person, an animal or a moving vehicle. A specialized military reconnaissance radar detects a car at a distance of up to 17 km, a tank - up to 12 km, a person - up to six to seven kilometers. Khaki devices For intelligence units parts special purpose an even more compact optical complex was developed and began to enter service. Not devoid of a sense of humor, the developers called it "Irony". The first "Ironia" was adopted by the special forces of the Southern and Western military districts. The latest optical-electronic surveillance systems were actively used for the first time during the "battles" at the strategic exercises "Kavkaz-2016". Having tested the capabilities of the khaki-colored device in landing, covert movement and in organizing ambushes, users were extremely satisfied with it.
Designed to receive and process information in real time, "Irony" enters the troops in two versions: for installation on armored vehicles "Tiger" or "Hussar" and portable. The weight of the wearable kit is only 3.2 kg, which is a feather for hefty "special forces". The kit includes a rangefinder with a thermal imager that allows you to recognize a person at a distance of up to 2.5 km, and equipment - up to seven kilometers. The received photo and video information "Irony" immediately transmits to the control center through closed channels at a distance of up to ten kilometers. In addition, this optoelectronic complex can be used as a security and defense system for its location. Motion sensors are placed around a stronghold or field camp, and the enemy will be detected at a distance of up to three kilometers with a guarantee. That "Intriguer"! In the course of large-scale exercises in the South of Russia, special forces units of the Southern Military District also tested the latest multifunctional optical-electronic reconnaissance complex "Intrigan" in "battle-marches". Assembled entirely on the domestic element base and equipped with unique software, the Intrigan tracks various enemy targets from a safe distance from the front line.
The reconnaissance module, transported on a small towed trailer, is equipped with a thermal imager, latest generation optics and a laser rangefinder. Instruments are lifted on a telescopic tower. Scanning the territory, the reconnaissance complex is trained to determine the types military equipment the enemy and the distance to her. All the intrigues of the enemy in the front line "Intrigan" is able to expose at a distance of up to 12 km.

Particularly difficult in field conditions it is considered the detection of the enemy in the dark and in bad weather. If, in order to detect and observe the enemy, it is enough for special forces soldiers to have good binoculars or a sight during the day sniper rifle, then with the onset of darkness or the deterioration of the weather, this task becomes much more difficult. However, the Russian military will now solve the problem of "all-weather" detection of the enemy with the help of unique highly automated optical-electronic systems, the operation of which is not affected by external factors. "Headlight" for a machine gun There are no trifles in matters of intelligence. The scouts themselves admit that in combat conditions, any trifle can give away the advance of the group, and the discovery of the group will mean that the combat exit has failed. The same rule applies to reverse side : an enemy detected and targeted in time can be neutralized in time. To detect the enemy, special forces have to use many special tools, but some of them are completely different from the usual thermal imagers or night sights. And in order not only to detect the enemy in time, but also, if necessary, to open fire on him, a unique Fara short-range reconnaissance radar station was developed. A unique radar for detecting the enemy. The detailed characteristics of the complex are not disclosed by the military, however, Fara-VR gives the intelligence officers tremendous opportunities. The features of the complex are such that the shelling of detected targets (whether it be enemy armored vehicles or personnel) can be carried out with zero visibility. One of the first to receive a unique radar was the intelligence officers of the Southern and Western military districts, and almost immediately the military noted that the issue of ease of use of the complex by the developers was worked out in the most thorough way. The dimensions, weight and general design of the complex are such that it can be moved from position to position, installed and controlled by one person. eight kilometers. In addition to detection, the unique radar can quickly calculate and transmit enemy coordinates for delivering a massive artillery and air strike, and when equipped with a Pecheneg machine gun or an AGS-17/30 grenade launcher, personnel on the battlefield can get at their disposal in a matter of minutes high-precision firing point. Experts note that the complex is able to work with the most necessary auto-recognition and auto-tracking modes, which reduce operator actions to a minimum. Experts in the field of radar note that the mobility of a unique radar to detect the enemy can be significantly increased by placing it on the chassis of an armored car. “Such work is a logical continuation of the development of this radar. The installation of such equipment on a reconnaissance armored vehicle will make it possible to use the latter as a covert highly mobile firing point, and this will only play into the hands of scouts in combat conditions, ”say the specialists of the Research Institute of Electronic Materials JSC. It should be noted that the project to adapt the complex to the chassis of an armored car is an order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but such a car would be quite useful in the army. The use of the complex, according to experts, is not accompanied by unexpected failures: a completely domestic element base allows you not to think about the reliability of complex equipment. Armed with such a complex, military units need only two simple steps to put the station into operation - installing a support and supplying power. The rest of the unique radar with a wide field of view will do itself. Military "Schemer" The newest optical-electronic complex, which appeared in the arsenal of the Russian special forces, although it has a playful name, is endowed with a number of qualities that turn it into equipment for serious military work. "Intriguer", according to experts, is a new word in the means for observing and detecting the enemy. The advantages of the complex, in addition to a completely domestic element base, include a seriously developed software part. In this sense, the complex is a bit like other, more powerful reconnaissance tools. “In addition to optics, serious work has been done at the software level. Determining the type of target with high probability is a very difficult task that needs to be solved in a comprehensive manner, ”adviser to the first deputy general director of the Radioelectronic Technologies Concern (KRET) Vladimir Mikheev said in an interview with Zvezda. “The complex is able to detect, filter and identify with a high degree of accuracy a large number targets,” he added. According to the expert, the complex is indistinguishable from any other military equipment. A small trailer connected to an army truck is, perhaps, all that can be said about the appearance of the latest optical-electronic complex. Only two operators manage the domestic development, and the duty crew has only a few minutes to deploy. The instrument module is mounted on a special telescopic mast that looks more like a robot's face. This module contains several devices at once: a thermal imager, a laser rangefinder and a unit with the most modern optics. The developers of the Intrigan complex did not limit themselves to placement on a towed trailer: it can also be mounted on the basis of an armored car, which makes the complex even more convenient to use. Portable "Irony" Modern warfare is already far from global battles with millions of troops on both sides. Fast, covert, operations that cause maximum damage to the enemy - these are the realities of modern warfare. The means for carrying out these very operations, as you might guess, are also at the forefront of technological progress. Optical complex "Irony" - bright to that example.By appearance a small multifunctional complex is more like stuffed binoculars from some fantastic saga. However, behind the futuristic appearance lie quite earthly abilities - the fastest possible detection of the enemy and the transmission of data on his location. The calculation of the complex working with the Irony is only two people. The first monitors enemy equipment and sets the coordinates of the necessary objects, and the second, using a high-performance portable station, transmits data via a secure communication channel to headquarters using a conventional “handheld” - a miniature computer that can be hidden in an army jacket pocket. specialists, in addition to the ability to “communicate” and exchange data with other mobile groups, there is also increased noise immunity: the complex is capable of working properly (and even transmitting photo and video files) even with active electronic suppression by the enemy. Automation of exploration processes in Russian army unprecedented attention is being paid. Specialists involved in the field of radio-electronic complexes admit that electronic devices have long ceased to be something unusual and have moved from the category of expensive experimental devices to everyday intelligence tools. The portable complex "Ironia" in the new Russian army - high-tech and modern - looks the best: light weight, long detection range (enemy manpower at ranges up to 3,000 meters) and small dimensions (you can hide in a regular backpack or travel bag) allow solve a dozen tasks with minimal risk of being noticed and practically zero probability of intercepting the transmitted data. The military took special care of the safety of the transmitted information: any information is transmitted via an encrypted communication channel, which cannot be connected from the outside.

Special Forces units of the Southern Military District (SMD) during large-scale exercises held in Krasnodar Territory, for the first time tested the latest multifunctional optical-electronic reconnaissance systems "Intrigan" and "Irony". This was reported by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.

Due to secrecy, the detailed tactical and technical data of the complexes are not disclosed, but it is known that the Intrigan is designed to track enemy targets at a distance of up to 12 km, equipped with a thermal imager, special optics of the latest generation and a laser rangefinder. Scanning the territory, the complex is able to determine the type of enemy military equipment and the distance to it.

The Irony observation complex is designed to receive and process information in real time. Created in two versions: for installation on vehicles "Tiger" or "Hussar" and portable. The weight of the sets is 15 and 3.2 kg, respectively. The complex is equipped with a rangefinder with a thermal imager, with which you can recognize a person at a distance of 2.5 km, and equipment - up to seven kilometers, as well as transmit photo and video information to the command via closed communication channels at a distance of up to 10 km. In addition, the complex can be used as a security and defense system for its location using motion sensors that allow you to recognize the enemy at a distance of up to three kilometers.

The military intelligence and special forces units receive unique high-tech optoelectronic systems.

"Consumer electronics"
