Drone System

Mission

The 9F691 Saman drone dystem is designed to launch 9F841/9F841M air target simulators imitating piloted aircraft, cruise missiles, remotely piloted vehicles and components of precision-guided weapon systems at extremely low, low and medium altitudes in the radar and infrared wavebands.

The Saman drone system is used for practice firing by air defence units, as well as for operational testing of air defence missile/artillery systems under development.

Composition

• 9A33BM3(2) combat vehicle of the Osa-AK

ADMS • trajectory generation device • 9F841, 9F841M air target simulators • ground support equipment

delaying modules; • dismantling of the warhead.

The 9F841M air target simulatorisa modified 9F841 with increased radar cross section.

The drone is delivered in the transport-launch container. Drone launching is controlled from the control panel coupled to the combat vehicle that requires no modification.

The 9F841/9F841M drones are derived from the 9M33M2 surface-to-air missile of the OsaAK/Osa-AKM ADMS.

Modified are 9M33M2 ground-to-air missiles with expired warranty period. The modifications include: • installation of a radar angled reflector and a self-destruction unit instead of RF proximity fuse; • upgradingof rocket motor; • modificationof electrical circuits with installation of additional switching and time-
