At present, the active protection systems "Zaslon" and "Hornet" are at the final stage of launching into mass production at the facilities of the state enterprise "Artyom" Machine Building Company, where the technological line is being set up now, the director told the" Defense Industry News " State Enterprise "Core Center for Critical Technologies" Microtech "Sergei Shvydkoi.
There will collect modules, while all electronics - a radar sensor, etc. - going to the production of "Mirkoteka". Thus, we cooperate with Ukroboronprom as a general developer, we have a license agreement, we conduct maintenance, we get royalties. In autumn of 2017, during the exhibition "Zbroya ta bezpeka 2017", the first export contract was signed with the Turkish company Aselsan. The Turkish market is now opening for us great prospects, because of the complex political relations of Ankara with both the EU and the US, and with the Russian Federation, which does not supply Turkey with its complexes, Shvydkoi told the agency.
New modules can be installed on the whole machine in a quantity of six pieces, in contrast to the previous version, when one module was on one side - a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle. Previously, there was a problem of simultaneous operation of several modules, which is now eliminated. The new complex of active protection is universal, suitable for both tanks and light armored vehicles. Only the active charge is changed, which is weaker on the light technique, in order to avoid damage to the side itself. A new radar detection system is also introduced, which does not conflict with other locators. All this is included in the complexes, which will be supplied under contracts to Turkey, as part of the modernization of the M60-A3 Sabra tank. The first deliveries are scheduled for the end of March and beginning of April, - the director of the state enterprise "BCCT" MICROTEC "summed up.
