PENZA. July 31 (Interfax-AVN) - The Radiozavod plant based in Penza has mastered mass production of Polyana-D4M1 automated control systems of a new generation which are intended for supporting combat application of air defense missile systems, deputy head of the plant's special design bureau Alexei Gavrilin said on Thursday.
"The Polyana-D4M1 automated system for control over an air defense missile brigade of air defense forces (codename 9S52M1) was designed with due consideration of up-to-date requirements to combat operations of ground units against the background of a massive air strike of the enemy's aviation. Its mass production has been mastered at the plant," Gavrilin told Interfax-Military News Agency.
Polyana-D4M1 can receive data on 1,000 aerial targets and track up to 225 targets simultaneously. It can be used for supporting combat application of air defense missile brigades armed with S-300V and Buk systems, as well as of mixed air defense groupings incorporating S-300V, Buk, Tor, and Tunguska assets.
The system has 12 automated workstations for planning and combat control that divide targets between units, impose bans on fire if necessary, and exercise selective notification on 50 aerial targets in 12 directions. Coordinates and time are determined with the help of GLONASS or NAVSTAR satellite navigation systems.
"The automation assets network of Polyana-D4M1 can work simultaneously with 14 integrated objects, including a senior command post, four interacting command posts, six subordinate units, and three sources of radar data," Gavrilin said.
