Krasnopol (152/155mm) and Kitolov (122mm) projectiles are fired
with standard propellant charges into a ballistic trajectory. At
the peak, the nose cap is ejected, and the laser seeker begins to
scan the ground for laser designated targets. Krasnopol / Kitolov
munitions are stowed in two separate sections – control section
and projectile. Both are connected before firing when it is
prepared for a mission. The system is designed to enable multiple
engagements of different rounds in a small area, using several
designators, as well as salvo firing by different artillery
pieces, engaging a single target, illuminated by a single laser
designator.
The
company is also offering a laser designator for the system, which
is capable of targeting a large size object at a range of 20 km. A
moving tank can be targeted at a range of 5 km, or 7 km, when it
is stationary. The firing range of the Krasnopol weapon is 20km,
Kitolov 2M can reach 12km. Hit probability of these munitions
range from 0.7 – 0.9, depending on the specific engagement
conditions. |
