OJSC ALEVKURP Has Upgraded an Electro-Optical System for Air Defense Missile Systems

OJSC “ALEVKURP” continues to improve the effectiveness of electro-optical systems (EOS) for medium- and short-range air defense missile systems.

The enterprise’s specialists have significantly modernized the TV-TP EOS, developed to replace the outdated Soviet Karat television-optical sight.

Key upgrades:

• Introduction of an automatic target tracking system (ATTS): it provides target acquisition and tracking without direct operator involvement. This significantly reduces the air defense missile system’s reaction time and increases the probability of target destruction;

• Increased field of view: the system’s tactical and technical characteristics have been expanded through improved viewing parameters.

The upgraded version of the TV-TP EOS has already successfully passed all tests. In the near future, it will be sent to a foreign customer as part of the modernization of the Pechora air defense missile system to the Pechora-2BM level.

The combination of thermal imaging (IR) and television channels in fully digital equipment makes it possible to detect, track, and engage targets in passive mode during the day, at night, and in any weather conditions.

The detection range of the modernized system, both via the television and thermal imaging channels, fully meets the needs of the Pechora, Kvadrat, and Osa air defense missile systems being modernized at the enterprise, significantly enhancing their combat capabilities.
