RYAZAN, Central European Russia, August 30 (AVN) - The Blik multitrack laser ray system of arms control has passed tests successfully at the Ryazan state instrument engineering plant, Nikolai Makarov, deputy head of the plant's foreign economic activity department, said on Thursday.
The system was tested as part of helicopter surveillance and sighting sets, Makarov told the Military News Agency. It will be installed in modernised MI-24 Hind helicopters and promising MI-28 Havoc and KA-50 Hokum helicopters. Blik provides high-precision homing of guided weapons by means of establishing an information field in the space. The field is an encoded light grid whose centre coincides with the optical target observing line. Encoding of the grid allows the missile to establish its position in relation to the information field centre and to move in this field towards the target.
Blik has one or two control tracks. Its control range is up to 10km and deviation in establishment of the target position does not exceed 0.1m.
