Modern Russian weapons in the form of SAM "Shtil" is a multi-channel launcher that focuses on naval basing, it is equipped with a vertical launch. The system is designed to implement a circular defense of the ship and reflection enemy air attacks, including massive missile strikes. Used guns for perimeter defense and counter missile attack on a massive enemy attacks. In the future, the complex will replace the existing analogue types of “Hedgehog” and “Hurricane”. Developed system designers Institute “Al”, presented in 2004 at the exhibition "Euronaval". Also underway for the development of improved terrestrial counterpart, let's consider their features and characteristics.
SAM "Shtil" has an original and distinctive design. As the basic element acts as a vertical module with a launcher-type 3C-90E. If necessary, the vehicle can be mounted several modules, each of which includes twelve containers with missiles. Dimensions - 7,15/1,75/9,5 meter, allow it to be installed on vessels having a minimum internal volume of the case is 7.4 m. the Complexes are six pieces in two rows. Such a solution gives the opportunity to accommodate a large amount of ammunition in a relatively small space.
SAM "Shtil-1" has dimensions that allow to replace the domestic destroyers missile system «Hurricane». The power and ammunition increased by almost two times. Save space and increase of ammunition is achieved through the absence of additional mechanisms, such as beam launchers and retaining its parts.

SAM Shtil-1 has one more distinctive feature of analog “Hurricane”. Missiles are strictly vertically, so that the complex launches projectiles with a break of no more than two seconds. The following volley is made after the first rocket away from the starting point on a few tens of meters. The system with beam installation for the preparation and launch takes much more time.
In the SAM "Shtil" is used guided missile of the type-9 М317-me. This is a modernized ammunition system "Beech". It is a single stage missile with solid fuel, which has the following dimensions:
The Tail part of the projectile is fitted with a rudder with a span of 82 inches. Shrapnel part weighs 62 kilograms. The rocket accelerates in speed of about 1500 meters per second. The main difference from its predecessor lies in the method run. In this context, applied to some constructive additions. The projectile flies after the operator to a height of about ten meters above the deck of the ship, followed by adjustment of the munition towards the target under the influence of gas rudders. Then turn the main power plant and suggestive system.
The range includes the start-up station with rockets and additional accessories. It does not provide its own detection system, but there is the option of navigating using the ship's radar sections. Electronic equipment consists of computer unit, control panel, several transmitters and illuminated the target. At the same time attack can be up to twelve targets. The complex can be mounted on any warships, requires no special transformation or alteration of the structure.
SAM "Shtil" is installed on ships the tonnage of which is not less than 1500 tons. The unit design enables to base the complex of the swimming means of various projects. In addition, the devices can replace old counterparts. Such features portend a promising future SAM.
Naval air defense missile system "Calm-1" is equipped with missiles that can hit targets at distances up to fifty miles. The maximum speed of the intended target can reach more than 800 meters per second. If you compare this system with the “Buck”, it noted the availability of the basic hardware along with improved systems of guidance and control homing system, what is the important role played by the illumination of the object on which it is planned to strike.
Carried out several development variants combat of the head, depending on the type of target and distance of its location. For example, SAM "Shtil-M" can hit the aircraft at an altitude of 15 thousand meters. For cruise missiles decreased in 2-3 times. Also the radius of action on the elimination of flying targets at low altitude is reduced by half of the maximum possible parameter.
Technical description of this weapon system is shown below:
SAM "Shtil-2" consists of the aerodynamic fairing, the payload Bay, adaptor, site, navigation, and control frame.The aerodynamic fairing is made of a sealed enclosure, equipped with hatches for the installation of electronic equipment.
The Starting system of the complex includes a starter and a technical sheet, having devices for auxiliary and main missile launch. The control unit consists of an automated node in memory which you enter information about the flight mission, the distance to the target, other telemetry info until measurements start.
SAM "Shtil-1" and its ground-based analog testing showed the following results:
The Flight from the ground option provides for the formation of orbits in a confined space, about 60-77 degrees. When launched from a submarine, the latitude range varies from 0 to 77 gr. The tilt of the rocket depends on the coordinates of the start points, while retaining the possibility of using submarines for the intended purpose.
The Development of new systems for fleet is the NGO «Almaz-Antey». As ammunition is used anti-aircraft missiles 9-М96 and 9-M100. The development in question SAM held since 2011, however, due to various circumstances, the schedule of delivery was delayed.
This was due to the lack of a sufficient number of engineers and designers, most of whom were involved in the development of land analogues of the complex. In this regard, the construction of frigates of project 22350, which provided for the installation of the new weapons was also conducted with a delay. Considerable difficulties arose in the establishment of the station radar “Poliment” with a phased antenna array. In combination with a rocket for sea launch 9-М96, the complex is the full version of SAM “Poliment-Redut”.
In the Summer of 2014 volley from SAM "Redoubt" was struck by an imitation of cruise missiles. A start was made on Board the Corvette “Savvy”. It was the first successful test conducted in the Baltic sea. Then successfully was amazed of the target, simulating a conventional enemy fleet.
In the Autumn of that year, we performed testing of the complex subject to engage air and surface targets the perceived enemy. All targets were eliminated. In 2015, the crew of the Corvette “Smart” successfully represented a mission to destroy enemy cruise missiles. The volley was carried out in difficult conditions radar situation.
The High combat capabilities of SAM "Redoubt" and SAM "Shtil" – largely due to the designers of the company «Almaz-Antey». They fulfilled the order of the Ministry of defence, despite all the difficulties. In July 2015, the leadership of the group officially announced that the trials under consideration of air defense systems has completed successfully.
In the series “Poliment-Redut” there are two types of complexes. The first of them is focused on the frigates of project 22350 (К96-2) and the second version presumably will be mounted on the corvettes of 20380 (equipped with a system of ‘Force-2”).
Below are the options of the tactical and technical plan:
The Charge has a launch weight of about 420 pounds, the average flight speed is 950 meters per second. Type of missile guidance-inertial system frequency control. Used combat head – radar, active. Defeat – high-explosive type with the main mass of 24 kg.
On the Baltic sea in 2015, there have been two successful missile launch 9-М96Е on Board the Corvette “Savvy”. Subsequently, the system "Redoubt" has been installed on the frigate "Admiral Gorshkov”. This ship is now the Northern fleet is preparing to conduct joint tests, including the defeat of the purposes flying. Modernization of the vessel at the shipyard in Saint-Petersburg will equip the ship with extra radar equipment
In the framework of the air show, ‘MAKS-2013” was the official briefing, at which CEO of the group «Antey-Almaz” said tests of a new anti-missile system was terminated in 2012. The main reason – a fire at the Corvette “Savvy”. In the same year, after repair of the vessel, the test SAM resumed. In 2014 started the testing of ammunition, mounted on ‘Admiral Gorshkov”. Was tested three types of missiles: 9-М96Д, 9-M100 and 9 М96Д.
SAM "Shtil-2" and “Poliment-Redut” have similar options. Their main advantage over predecessors that they can be launched from surface and ground objects. Furthermore, design features allowto use little space with a simultaneous increase in the number of ammunition. All missiles successfully passed the tests, despite some delays the timing for the production of the complexes. Consider modern weapons you plan to use on frigates and other ships and on land bases and submarines. Similar to the functionality associated with flexibility systems and their broad capabilities, including protection against aircraft and enemy ships.
