Some Details of Oplot M mbt...
I
NTEGRATED GUN-AND-FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (IGFCS)
The IGFCS ensures the following:
- automatic generation, with subsequent introduction into the armament control devices, of super-elevation and lateral lead angles, with taking into account various deviations of the real firing conditions from the standard ones
- possibility for the commander to override the gunner and fire the main gun and coaxial machine gun from the commander’s station
- firing the anti-aircraft machine gun from the commander’s station
PTT-2 thermal sighting system
The system is intended to observe, detect, recognise and identify targets and to deliver aimed fire from the main and coaxial machine gun under all conditions of vehicle operation.
Type
thermal, monocular (with built-in micro-monitor)
Operational spectral wave band
8-12 micrometres
Fields of view:
9x6.75 degrees
3x2.25 degrees
1.5x1.12 degrees
Operational ranges:
- Detection range (narrow field of view)
at least 8000 m
- Recognition range (narrow field of view)
at least 4500 m
- Identification range (narrow field of view)
at least 2500 m
DRIVER’S DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION PANEL
The driver's digital instrument panel is intended to control the tank's systems, viz.:
- operation of the pre-heater
- main engine pre-starting and starting
- traffic lights operation
- emergency warning
- indication of current parameters of the engine and transmission
- protection of the engine against wrong actions of the driver during engine pre-starting and starting
TIUS-NM NAVIGATION SUPPORT SYSTEM
The navigation support system (NSS) ensures the solution of the following tasks:
- determination of own coordinates X, Y and the bearing grid angle a in the rectangular coordinate system using the SN-3700 radio-navigation equipment (RNE);
- generation, transmission and receipt of commands with coordinates of destination points;
- gathering of information about subordinates location;
- input, storage and processing of route points (up to 50 pcs)and movement along the route, number of control points for each route up to 50;
- formation, transmission and receiving of telecode (textual) messages via the radio channel;
- indication at the driver's station of information of direction and value of angle of turn to the point of destination.
Accuracy (standard deviation) of the tank location coordinates determination when operating on the following systems signals:
GPS NAVSTAR
40 m
GLONASS
30 m
GPS NAVSTAR/GLONASS
20 m
Quantity of routes being set
Up to 10
Quantity of control points for each route
Up to 50
Gathering of information about the subordinate tanks location, transmission of destination points coordinates and textual information is provided in the units up to the tank battalion level inclusive
Yes
Time of transmission and receipt of information in digital radio channel and range of communication
To be determined by specifications of standard means of communication
Accuracy of presenting the current time (with allowance for the correction for the zone time)
1 s
Time of readiness for operation, max:
under the "cold" start
180 s
under the "hot" start
15 s
Built-in control system
Yes
1KPI commander's information panel is designed for input by means of key-boards into the system of initial settings, codes, commands, requests, destination and control points coordinates, as well as telecode messages that are generated from the Russian language symbols or Latin alphabet and digital symbols on the display of alphabet-digital and graphic information, received or input from outside through the radio station or from navigation equipment. It is also used to set the status of the tank – the commander of the respective level (up to the battalion commander) or subordinate (linear) of the respective unit.
1KBI-N information unit provides for:
- reading of input data and commands from 1KPI panel keyboard and its processing
- exchange of information ans commands with NSS and radio station
- processing of information received from NSS and radio station
- solution of tasks of:
- computing the current coordinates and directional angle
- receipt and transmission of commands with coordinates of point of destination
- gathering of information on location of subordinates
- input, storage and operation of route points
- receipt and transmission of telecode messages
- indication of angle of turn to the driver
- controlling the indicator (screen) of 1KPI panel (indication of information and command messages)
1KVI panel is designed for providing the information for the driver about the value and direction of the tank angle of turn to the point of destination.
SN-3700 radio-navigation equipment provides for continuous monitoring of the tank coordinates, its route (only on move) and time according to radio signals of navigation space craft of GLONASS and GPS NAVSTAR via open codes at any point of the globe at any point of time and any meteo conditions.
