La nouvelle corvette pour la Flotte de Russie est mise en place sur les chantiers navals d’Amour. Elle complétera les forces en surface de la Flotte du Pacifique. Ce bateau avec des missiles guidés est la corvette du projet 20380. Elles sont toutes équipées de systèmes de lutte radio-électronique élaborés par une entreprise du KRET.

Le nouveau bateau est baptisé du nom du héros de Russie Aldar Tsydenjapov qui au prix de sa vie a stoppé l’expansion d’un incendie sur le contre-torpilleur « Bystry » en 2010 et ainsi sauvé son équipage.

Ce bateau sera déjà la troisième corvette du projet 20380 qui est construite sur les chantiers d’Amour pour la Flotte du Pacifique (TOF). Comme l’a fait remarquer le chef du service de presse de la TOF Roman Martov, il sera mis en place sur le chantier la prochaine corvette du projet 20380 avant la fin de cette année.

Il y a déjà quatre bateaux de ce projet au sein des Forces Maritimes de Russie : « Steregoushi », « Soobrazitelnyi », « Boïki » et « Stoïki », tous au sein de la Flotte de la Baltique. Il y a deux mois la corvette « Sovremennyi » a été mise à l’eau. On installe actuellement l’équipement sur le bateau. Après la fin des tests, le bateau sera intégré au sein de la Flotte du Pacifique. Les nouvelles corvettes doivent devenir la base des Forces Maritimes de la Russie dans la zone maritime proche.

Les corvettes du projet 20380 sont prévues pour lutter contre les bateaux de surface et les sous-marins ennemis, ainsi que pour le soutien de débarquement au cours d’opérations. Ils ont un tirant d’eau d’environ deux mille tonnes, une longueur de plus de 100 mètres, elles développent une vitesse de jusqu’à 27 nœuds et ont une autonomie de navigation qui atteint 4000 milles.

Les bateaux ont un corpus de pont en acier lisse et une superstructure réalisée en matériaux composites de plusieurs couches tenant compte des exigences de la technologie « Stels ».

The state corporation Rostec has unveiled a new brand for the concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET). The rebranding will improve capitalization and allow the concern to implement its strategy for international expansion, including integration into world markets and the introduction of an IPO.

The KRET Brand

The rebranding allows the concern to be identified by the same abbreviation of KRET in both Russian and English. This policy coincides with the strategy of its parent company Rostec, who implemented its own name change in late 2012. Given that 75% of its production has military purposes, KRET has become the leader of Russia’s military-industrial complex. The concern has also adopted a policy of increased transparency in communicating with partners, investors, and the media. The new brand gives KRET an image of strength and severity, along with openness and readiness to pursue mutual beneficial partnerships.

As KRET CEO Nikolai Kolesov noted, the rebranding will allow the concern to increase its capitalization in the long term. “An international brand and dual-language site are designed to help implement KRET’s strategy of international expansion, including integration into the world markets and the introduction of an IPO,” he said.

Logo

KRET’s new logo consists of its abbreviated name graphic design, a stylized image of a pixel grid on which three symmetrical diamonds are visible. This symbolism is the essence of most of the concern’s technology: the transformation of real objects into a digital model.
“Competition in the global market is not possible without a strong, recognizable brand. Yet due to specifics of the dual-purpose enterprise, this resource is insufficiently used in Russia. Still, effective communication with the outside world is a competitive factor in the global market,” noted Vasily Brovko, Rostec communications director. “The rebranding aims to create a modern image of the concern as an innovative company with the strategic resources and objectives to develop unique, high-performance military and civilian technologies of the future that can also reach a new level of business.”

Site

KRET now has a new, multimedia website at www.kret.com. The site advances the concern’s new brand, presenting a multimedia portal for interaction with the outside world. KRET intends to adopt a policy of maximum openness with its partners, investors, and the media, which a new internet forum for feedback will help promote. To make communication with foreign colleagues as efficient as possible, information on the new site will be published in two languages, Russian and English. To increase visibility, the site will also provide videos, photos, and text about all aspects of KRET.

The strategic communications center Apostle, in partnership with SomeOneElse, one of the top creative agencies in the UK, developed the website. This team has also worked on projects for HSBC, Land Rover, BBC, Yota, Universal, and Rolling Stones. Warren Hutchinson, founder and design director of SomeOneElse led the project, which began in 2013 and took more than a year to complete.

KRET has developed a multispectral aircraft landing system that greatly reduces the risk of emergencies

Landing an aircraft is one of the most difficult aspects of piloting. A majority of accidents happens during this stage. KRET experts are developing special landing systems that will greatly reduce the risks associated with landing.

The multispectral landing system developed by KRET specialists provides an extremely accurate and reliable method for landing both manned and unmanned aircraft. The system is able to guide the aircraft to the ground and direct movement, braking, taxiing, and other maneuvers.

In developing the system, the Ryazan Instrument Factory has drawn on its extensive scientific and technological experience and manufacturing potential. Premier domestic aircraft, such as MiG-29, Su-27, and Su-30, all use products from the Ryazan factory. 

To increase landing safety, the system relies on two primary components. First, the electronic component–the relative coordinate positioning system (SOOK)–uses satellite technology to determine the flight parameters of the aircraft and the location of the landing site.

Aircraft coordinates and speed are determined using information from GLONASS and GPS satellites. The two parts of the landing system, one of which is on the aircraft, and the other which is at the intended landing site, directly communicate with each other. The standard deviation of the system in determining coordinates is no more than .6 meters and no more than .1 meters per second for determining speeds.

The second component is an optoelectronic landing system that uses different spectral channels and functions for image processing.

The system, which is onboard the aircraft, measures distances and calculates location, as well as approach and descent speed. The video monitor displays the aircraft as it lands. The range of error for aircraft up to 10 kilometers away is minimal, with a relative angular deviation of no more than 60” and a distance deviation of no more than a meter.

The presence of the two components, which have fundamentally different ways of determining aspects of movement, greatly increases the survivability of the system, and thus the probability of a safe landing.
