The engineers and builders of the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Army, following world trends, are finding the best solutions that can be applied to our military equipment in our defense technology industrial base, announced the Ministry of Defense.
According to the ministry’s website, thanks to that, the Serbian army can equip and arm itself much cheaper.
The KUB KUB missile system is a self-propelled missile system intended for the destruction of various types of aircraft in the airspace. The system is characterized by high mobility and the possibility of centralized command and control of fire at the divisional level. By modernizing that missile system, a higher level of efficiency, better protection of combat services and resource savings are achieved. The scope of the modernization refers to the Fire Command and Control Unit (UKUV), the P-40 Radar Station composed of the Surveillance and Acquisition Radar (OAR) 1RL-128D and the Altitude Radar (RMV) PRV- 16 (9) B, as well as Radar Guidance and Tracking Station (RStON).
The modernization of the KUB missile system retains its basic purpose and improves the characteristics of the system, which mainly include the efficiency of the command system, the degree of use of information capabilities, the formation of a more complete and clear picture of the airspace, airspace target tracking accuracy, and guidance radars. tools, as well as the ability to aim aiming radars and executive tools without the inclusion of your own radar means.

The “BOFORS” – “PASARS” anti-aircraft system is also being modernized, intended to protect against attacks from the airspace of ground army units on the march and during combat operations, the protection of important facilities, as well as for successful action on targets on land and water.
The modernization includes the installation of a turntable with a central part of the L / 70 gun on a modified FAP 2228 vehicle with an armored driver’s cabin and an armored tool dome, integration of automatic stabilization and leveling systems, installation of a new higher capacity ammunition frame, introduction of modern GPS and tablet / PC commanders with KIS.
The basic variant of the anti-aircraft system “PASARS” of phase 1 was introduced into the armament of the Serbian Army in 2019, and based on it a zero series was carried out, the internal tests of which are ongoing. Also, in accordance with the principles of spiral development, the final tests of the new subsystems of phase 2 are underway, which will continue to improve the aforementioned antiaircraft weapon and will further equip all “PASARS”, including those of the zero series.
Phase 2 includes a new diesel generator and power subsystem, a new driver display subsystem, that is, for driving with front and rear cameras day and night, a new thermal image view that will significantly improve the ability of the tool and a new subsystem for electronic timing of prefragmented ammunition.
The third phase of the modernization of “PASARS” involves the integration of the missile system. One such system is the IC “Igla” self-guided missile system, which is available to the Serbian army. Design tests of this integration are underway, after which all previously completed “PASARS” weapons will be equipped with this missile system, which will significantly increase their efficiency against air targets.
The launchers and other elements for the integration of the “Igla” missile system in “PASARS” will be used for the integration of the newly acquired IC “Mistral” self-guided missiles, which are probably the best in the world in their class at the moment.
The effects of the modernization are related to increased mobility and passability in the field compared to the existing BOFORS 40mm L / 70 traction gun, significantly shortening the transfer time of the system from gear to gear position. combat and vice versa in less than 2 minutes, increasing the firepower and the success of detection, acquisition and actions on targets in the air and on the ground during the day, at night and in poor visibility conditions. Equipping the Serbian army with the “PASARS” anti-aircraft system will significantly increase the level of protection of ground units against air attacks during marching and combat operations.

For the modernization of the M-85 “Giraffe” radar, an observation radar with the task of tracking targets in the airspace, determining their coordinates and distributing them with “BOFORS” / “PASARS” anti-aircraft systems, tests are being carried out before the introduction of the software radar receiver, which significantly improves your skills. The scope of the modernization includes software signal processing, radar sub-assembly modernization, installation of GPS devices and a new telecommunications subsystem with a high degree of protection.
The functions of target detection, determination of the characteristics of objects detected in the air, monitoring and transmission of ARJ PVD observation data, are carried out in real time by applying modern algorithms in the processing of radar signals. The safety of the crew in the conditions of war operations will be significantly increased by introducing a separate workplace. The integration of the system for automatic leveling of the radar cabin and lifting of the antenna pole shortens the conversion time of the radar from the march position to the combat position and vice versa.

The P-12 and P-18 radars are long-range VHF range surveillance radars, intended for airspace observation, airspace object detection, target classification, automatic processing and transmission of observation data. .
The modernization of the “P” type radar refers to a solid state transmitter and a semiconductor receiver, a system for digital signal processing, a work console for the operator, a separate work station, as well as an air conditioning system in the cabin and other auxiliary systems. The effects of the modernization are related to the maximum improvement of the radar characteristics, the extension of its useful life, the modernization of the system with new hardware and software solutions, the complete reprogramming of the software, as well as the participation of national capacities. research and development and reducing dependence on imports.
