Monolit-B coastal surface and air reconnaissance system


Monolit-B coastal surface and air reconnaissance system
Russia
 
 
 
The coastal surface and air reconnaissance system Monolit-B is intended for long-range, over the horizon detection and tracking of surface targets using integrated means of active and passive radio detection and ranging, means of automated reception and processing of information on surface situation obtained from the carriers equipped with articles Mineral-ME and special interfacing equipment and from external information sources (ships, helicopters, lookout posts) over standard communication lines in the telephone mode, and also for generation and output of target designation data to missile weapon control systems.

The coastal system provides
  • Detection, tracking and classification of surface targets using an active radar
  • Long-range, over the horizon detection and classification of radiating radars using the means of passive radio detection and ranging
  • Determination of the coordinates of radiating radars using detection and target designation in the passive mode
  • Identification of surface targets nationality based on the friend-or-foe principle
  • Automated acquisition, processing and display of the data on surface situation received from the interactive objects and data sources
  • Generation and output of surface situation and target designation data to the control systems of the mobile coastal missile systems (MCMS) Bastion
  • Drawing up, editing or input of a prearranged electronic plan for execution of the assigned combat or training tasks
  • Execution of a march to the assigned positions with operational control of own spatial position and that of the interactive objects
  • Deployment on both non-surveyed and pre-surveyed positions
  • Exchange of clear and encrypted messages with the interactive objects using standard communication lines in motion, at halts, and during operation at position
  • Automated generation and transmission of combat activity control commands, signals and directives to the controlled interactive objects, reception and automated processing of reports and acknowledgements
  • Reception and automated processing of combat activity control commands, signals and directives coming from the control objects
  • Automated generation and transmission of reports and acknowledgements.
 The active radar serves for execution of the following tasks
  • Surface situation coverage
  • Detection, classification, coordinate determination, and tracking of surface targets
  • Identification of tracked surface targets nationality using interfaced equipment for nationality identifications
  • Generation and output of target designation data to the mutual data exchange and orientation radar (DEORdr) Mineral-ME3
The passive radar serves for execution of the following tasks
  • Long-range, over the horizon detection of radiating radars
  • Determination of radiation parameters
  • Classification of the received signals by the radiating radar type
  • Generation of the data on observed surface situation and output of this data to the DEORdr.
The DEORdr provides
  • Mutual orientation of the Monolit-B coastal system vehicles
  • Joint processing of the data on surface targets received from the integrated means of active and passive radio detection and ranging and from other data sources equipped with the equipment providing logical and physical interface with the Monolit-B coastal system
  • Generation of target designation data
