JSC Rosoboronexport in conjunction with JSC Sea Underwater
Weapons — Gidropribor Concern, has launched a program to
promote naval materiel and special equipment to the external
market.
“A wide range of missions carried out by the navies of
maritime powers necessitates equipping them with various
types of naval hardware and special equipment. The foreign
navies include 225 Russianbuilt ships. Of them, more than
100 surface ships and submarines are the carriers of naval
underwater weapons. Rosoboronexport is offering its partners
unique solutions to equip and upgrade the armament of these
ships,” said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of
Rosoboronexport.
Naval underwater weapons are in service with the world's
major navies. However, as few as 5 to 7 countries, including
Russia, are capable of designing and manufacturing these
weapons independently, due to the high complexity and cost
of these efforts. A number of weapons produced by JSC Sea
Underwater Weapons — Gidropribor Concern, offered by
Rosoboronexport, are unrivalled in the world.
Foreign customers are offered a wide range of naval hardware
and special equipment. Among them are torpedoes, mines,
antimine and underwater antisabotage weapons, as well as
means of ship’s selfdefense against underwater weapons.
In the segment of torpedo weapons, the TE2 universal
electric remotecontrol homing torpedo is offered. It is
designed to destroy submarines, surface ships and fixed
targets. In addition, a number of newly developed torpedoes,
including 533 mm torpedoes and 324 mm small torpedoes, are
promising for promotion on the world market.
The MDM1 and MDM2 bottom mines are designed to create a
mine threat and destroy surface ships and submarines in
surface and submerged conditions when used in minefields.
The Shelf naval shelf mine offered has no counterparts in
the world. It can be placed from delivery aircraft,
submarines, and surface ships. The Shelf mine has a
hydroacoustic passive/active detection and targeting system
protected from triggering when exposed to natural
disturbances and influence sweeps that can detect any
submarines and surface ships regardless of the level of
their noise and speed. Its unique design makes it difficult
for the target to use countermeasures and conduct an evasive
action.
Naval mines are not rigidly linked to a particular ship
project. Countries whose naval doctrine provides for mine
planting are interested in their acquisition.
Rosoboronexport expects attention to Russianmade naval
mines from a wide range of countries in Africa, SouthEast
Asia and Latin America.
As regards antimine weapons and means of ship selfdefense
against underwater weapons, Rosoboronexport offers the
Mayak2014 sonar systems, MG74ME selfpropelled sonar
countermeasure devices, smallsized selfpropelled torpedo
defense devices, the SHATU broadband acoustic sweep as well
as the GKT3M deepwater contact sweep, which is unmatched in
the world market. A flexible configuration of the sweep
enables its use in single shipborne, heliborne, paired
nearbottom and network versions.
In addition, diver delivery vehicles that can be used from
the world’s most popular Russianbuilt Projects 877 and 636
submarines, as well as Piranha class midget submarines are
considered by Rosoboronexport to be promising for promoting
on the global market.
