Russia continues to refine its most perfect combat tank (OBT) - T-14 based on the "Armatians". According to RIA Novosti informed source in the OPK, the machine for the first time in the history of the tank construction was able to find and recognize the goals. The crew members did not accept in this participation.
During one of the steps, the fire management system (SUO) was tested on a special stand. "Polygon tests were also carried out, where samples of Russian armored vehicles were performed in the role of search facilities for" armat ". According to the results of all stages, the effectiveness of the system's effectiveness of the claimed combat characteristics was confirmed, "the source of the agency added.
According to him, the fire management system is equipped with a digital catalog with sample target signatures: it includes infantry combat vehicles, tanks, helicopters, and so on.
Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, on-board computing means themselves can look for targets: it is real even if part of the object hides the shelter. Possible selection of goals and their accompaniment. Search and capture the goal is made by a combined system operating both in the visible and infrared bands. At the same time, the OBT commander is received on the defeat of the target.
It is worth saying that the elements of automation are now present on many tanks, but such an "advanced" SUO, as today, probably does not have any other OBT.
The T-14 automatic test information was confirmed in the press service of the Uralvagonzavod concern - the manufacturer of the tank. At the same time, they did not speak about the details of the tests in the corporation.
Regardless of the test results, it can be said that the T-14 is the most technologically "advanced" tank. It has a uninhabited tower, the newest complex of active protection, as well as equipment that allows you to fully implement the Popular Principle of "Seetsentrical War".
The reverse side can be considered the technical complexity and the high cost of the complex, which, however, in one way or another is characteristic of any modern tank.
We will remind, recently it became known that Germany concluded a contract for the new version of Leopard 2, equipped with a complex of active protection (KAZ) Trophy. And last year, the US Army first received serial tanks M1A2 SEP V3 Abrams, also equipped Kaz. It is also worth saying that in the future Americans want to get a new lightweight tank, and France and Germany plan to replace their common generation tank.
