The cooperation of Russian companies implementing their own project for the Ministry of Defense, after German authorities banned Airbus to negotiate with Russia on the delivery of appropriate technology in Russia. This is the latest satellite radar system capabilities that allow you to build an accurate 3D-model of the Earth, and track ground targets.
– In early 2015 the Military-Industrial Commission decided that the system we are will create their own, and then at the level of the MIC has coordinated interagency roadmap – told “Izvestia” a source in the holding “Roselectronika.” – In accordance with the draft design system will be based on the five satellites, the first start is scheduled for 2019. A key element of this system – AESA (active phased array antenna. – “News”) for on-board radar. Technologies of creation AFAR basically mastered the Russian manufacturers, but there are gaps – until they are able to do transceiver modules for APAA. In accordance with the approved MIC “roadmap” “Roselectronika” should develop, test and demonstrate transceiver modules in action in the I quarter of 2016.
As previously reported the Ministry of Defense planned to purchase a new radar system Franco-German Airbus Defence and Space (ADS). Competition among Russian companies (which traditionally have bought payload from ADS and would set its satellite platform) held open: in 2013 it won Khimki NPO. SA Lavochkin. The contract value amounted to almost 70 billion rubles. Then head of the NPO. SA Lavochkin Victor Hart on the results of the tender, said “News»:
– Gradually we are going to increase the share of Russian technologies is directly in the payload. The share of localization will increase from the device to the machine that by implementing this project, to be able to make such devices completely independently.
This was followed by worsening of the situation in the Ukriane and Western sanctions on the supply of military products in Russia. Veto on the sale of military technology to Russia has imposed herself, Angela Merkel, says Bloomberg, – the sources of the agency contract was evaluated at $ 973 million.
– Protecting the preliminary design “Roselectronika” and NPO. SA Lavochkin MIC proved that we are able to make such a system themselves, – said the source in the “Roselectronika” .- And we succeeded. Ministry of Defence contract pays. This is a very promising direction. If we master these technologies, we can supply such a system for exports. Wishes to buy already.
The Lavochkin declined to comment.
The general director of JSC “Russian Space Systems” (RCC) Andrew Tyulin in an interview with “News” said, that a subsidiary of PKC has been the creation of a space-based AFAR.
– I can say that we are commissioned by the Russian Space Agency in OJSC “RI PI” (subsidiary of JSC “Russian Space Systems”) are currently developing radar AFAR space-based. We will do it for 3 years, if not to take decisions that impede the realization of the project – frequent change of subcontractors, making new cooperation schemes, etc., – said Tyulin.
In Roskosmos did not comment on the situation.
