The purpose and range of application
Ground-based automatic control system (GACS) is an integral part of coastal missile system BAL-E, so it performs functions which are analogous to shipborne automatic control system.
In shipborne and ground-based automatic control systems cutting-edge achievements in microelectronics and calculation equipment are implemented, which make it possible to obtain minimum dimensions and power consumption. Operator’s computer work stations, in which a technology of artificial intelligence is applied, extremely reduce man/hour consumption.
High level potential up-gradation of Ssipborne and ground-based automatic control system is implied which will result in enhancement of systems’ combat missions.
The equipment provides:
- Single-missile or salvo firing (2 to 8 missiles from each self-propelled launcher (SPL)
- Initial data reception from support systems
- Generation of the flight tasks and its input into the ASM on-board control system
- Calculation of aiming points coordinates and the ASM accessible distance
- Selection of the flight trajectory and the ASM launching sequence
- Solution of salvo effectiveness task considering the available missiles
- Control of launch container
- Emergency release of missiles without activation of ASM on-board control system
- Operational self-check
