Russian "Grad" and "Tornado-G" multiple launch rocket systems can become high-precision weapons thanks to a small modification. Military expert Evgeny Damantsev spoke about the capabilities of the systems.
He called for equipping the systems with OU-122 guidance modules, the component base of which was developed by JSC "MKB "Kompas" and is similar to the modules for 300-mm long-range guided missiles 9M544/549 MLRS "Tornado-S" with a range of up to 120 km.
Due to design features and weight and size parameters, this module is easily unified with most 122-mm rockets of the 9M22U / 9M521 family, providing a slight increase in flight range due to the additional bearing qualities of aerodynamic rudders.
The accuracy of rockets used in the Grad and Tornado-G multiple launch rocket systems, thanks to the use of the OU-122, is comparable to the accuracy of the 9M544/549 missiles designed for the Tornado-S MLRS. This complex is equipped with a unique platformless inertial navigation system, a GLONASS correction module and a servo drive unit that controls aerodynamic rudders.
The OU-122 guidance system allows you to automatically determine the location and optimal trajectory for 122-mm MLRS rockets. This improves the accuracy of following a given trajectory up to 10 meters over the entire flight range of the projectile.
The device is installed on a standard fuse immediately before combat use. No modification of the projectile is required. Preparation time for launch is no more than 10 minutes.
