Russian Iskander-M TBM to Enter Service 
 by Michal Fiszer
 Feb. 15, 2005
 
 Gen. Col. Vladimir N. Zaritskiy, chief of the Russian Army Artillery and
Rocket Forces, recently announced that Iskander-M tactical ballistic
missiles (TBMs), developed by KB Mashinostroyenya (Kolomna, Russia), will
equip their first brigade sometime this year.
 
 According to the general, the system is to be a more capable domestic
version of the Iskander-E, which is offered for export. Interestingly, the
name "Tender" that had previously been associated with the Russian version
seems to have been dropped in favor of "Iskander-M." The system is also to
carry the designations 9P78-1 for the transport-erector-launcher (TEL) and
9T250 for the missile-transport vehicle/reloader. 
 
 Among the new additions to the Iskander-M is the guidance system, which
consists of an inertial-navigation-system (INS) control unit with a
Glonass/GPS receiver. The system is claimed to have a circular-error
probable (CEP) as low as five meters, and there is also an optional
imaging-infrared (IIR)-homing warhead that has a claimed accuracy of two
meters. The IIR system, though, has to be provided with a digital picture
of the target before launch. The TEL weighs 40 tons and carries two
3,800-kg missiles ready for launch.
 
 Intriguingly, the Iskander-M's brigade command post will be able to receive
targeting information in real time directly from a satellite-surveillance
system or an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The launch of the missile
against a target is to be accomplished within minutes of its detection by
satellite or UAV. Gen. Col. Zaritskiy stated that, during recent exercises,
this interval had been reduced from four minutes to just 1.5 minutes. Less
than two minutes after launching, the TEL is able to leave the launch area.
In the future, artillery units are to be cross-linked with numerous
reconnaissance and surveillance assets, both internal (i.e., artillery
reconnaissance units) and external (e.g., UAVs and satellites), to create
an information-exchange network, enabling fast targeting and precision
strikes against small, mobile, time-sensitive targets
 
 Gen. Zaritskiy officially stated that the Iskander-M is to have the ability
to hit a target at ranges from 50 to 280 km with a 480-kg cluster-type
warhead. The stated range is the same as the Iskander-E export version,
although some sources claim that Iskander-M is to have a maximum range of
480 km (indeed, Gen. Col. Zaritskiy said as much in an interview for
Izvyestya in November 2004). It was also stated that one of the main
targets for the Iskander-M in a full-scale war would be enemy air-defense
sites. This implies that the system will also receive targeting information
from precision signals-intelligence (SIGINT) systems, notably the
ground-based Avtobaza and Okhota that are specially designed for
intercepting emissions from ground-based radar systems. Russia may also use
Orion/Vega and Kolchuga systems, which, although primarily are intended for
air-target tracking, can also detect and track ground-based radars at
ranges of up to 80 km with accuracy measured in tens of meters. Reaction
time of networked surveillance systems and Iskander-M units may be very
low, sufficient enough for effective engagement of mobile surface-to-air
missile (SAM) systems, such as the Patriot, SAMP-T, and similar systems 
 
 Gen. Col. Zaritskiy also stated that the trials of Iskander-M, conducted by
the 60th Artillery Training Center, were completed in late 2004 and that
the system was approved for full-scale production at Votkinskiy Zavod. The
first brigade to be operational with Iskander-M will be a training unit
from the Nothern-Caucasus Military District in early 2006. The unit will
conduct crew training, perform combat-readiness duties, and could possibly
even take part in combat in the troubled region. The second brigade is
scheduled to be deployed with the Far-East Military District, while the
third will be in the Siberian Military District; both of which are to be
fully operational units. Thereafter, artillery TBM units in central Russia
will be re-equipped with the Iskander-M.
 
 The Iskander-M system is one of the few new weapon systems being fielded
with Russian forces. The Russian Artillery and Rocket Forces Command is
focusing primarily on improving its reconnaissance and surveillance
systems, as well as its command-and-control network. Troops are to be
equipped with the new AZK-7 sound reconnaissance systems and improved
SNAR-10M and Zoopark 1 battlefield radar sets. Also, while Russia currently
employs UAVs like the Pchela systems, work is continuing on the development
of new tactical UAVs as well. 
 
 Of secondary importance is the modernization of existing artillery systems:
the Smerch, Uragan, and Grad multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), as well
as the 2S3 Akatsya 152mm and 2S1 Gvozdika 122mm self-propelled howitzers.
All of these modernization efforts are aimed at increasing fire accuracy,
since precision engagement has become the focus the Russian artillery and
rocket forces
 
 The new concept of land firepower employment by Russian forces can be
summarized as "assured detection and target identification by integrated,
multi-sensor surveillance systems; rapid reaction, assured by real-time
information processing in a networked command-and-control system; and
precision engagement across the whole tactical depth by missile,
multiple-rocket, or cannon-artillery system."
 
 Thus, for the first time, Russian artillery forces are not focusing on the
development and procurement of new fire means. Instead, command, control,
communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
(C4ISR) have become leading priorities.

si beh la differenza è che quello è un esperimento mentre il missile più che
reale. Inoltre sono previste anche testate emp in grado di mettere fuori
