![]() ![]() For longer ranges of fire (up to 100 km) the missile is equipped with a larger caliber launch stage. Type of launch - from TPK with an embossing charge. The Hermes rocket (see photo) with a detachable launch engine has a universal shrapnel-phase warhead. a fire control vehicle with a mast climbing device for multi-channel, multispectral optronic and radar reconnaissance means, which is intended for reconnaissance, target detection and recognition, target distribution and target designation.a combat vehicle with a packet type launcher (24 TPKs each) with onboard reconnaissance and laser illumination of targets.A set of guided missiles in transport and launch containers with three types of homing heads (laser semi-active, infrared, radar).The Hermes-A complex has been prepared for mass production. Tests of an aviation version of the Hermes-A complex as part of the Ka-52 attack helicopter weaponry were completed in the summer of 2003. The use of external reconnaissance and target designation means, including those placed on remotely manned aircraft (UAV), allows to realize the main provisions of the "contactless warfare" concept to the fullest extent, to reduce the terms of execution and to expand the range of tasks to be solved with the involvement of the minimum required number of forces and means, as well as to minimize the material costs of operations. PTRK "Hermes" is constructed on a modular principle that gives the chance to optimize structure of involved means depending on solved problems, reasonably to combine various ways of guidance on various ranges of firing, and also to place a complex on land, air and sea carriers. Moreover, since the modern armored grouping is a complex mobile system, to destroy such a grouping requires a comprehensive fire defeat of the entire nomenclature of targets that are part of it, as well as other targets of different classes that operate in the offensive zone. The use of such tactics sets the task to radically extend the range of reconnaissance and defeat of armored units by promising MANPADs, which should be able to cover the entire area of responsibility of their reconnaissance and defeat of the enemy at the full depth of the near tactical zone (25-30 km). This will allow to prevent the promotion and deployment of armored units of the enemy on the line of attack with the reduction of own losses. "Hermes" opens up new areas of combat application of anti-tank weapons - the transfer of its fire into the depth of the enemy's range and the ability to repel an attack at any point of the defense without changing the firing position. The complex was developed at the Instrument-Making Design Bureau (Tula) under the leadership of A.G. The complex is designed to destroy modern and promising objects of armored vehicles, non-armoured vehicles, stationary engineering structures, surface targets, low-speed flying air targets, manpower in shelters. The long-range Hermes PTRK is a promising complex of high-precision weapons of a new generation - reconnaissance and fire-propelled multi-purpose PTRK, combining the properties of artillery and anti-tank systems. ![]()
