Search and Targeting System Kasatka-EP

The center of search and targeting system Kasatka-EP is an information and control system – artificial intelligence that implements the integrated data processing of all the subsystems and intelligent decision support.

Benefits

• Open architecture 
• Modular design 
• Intelligent decision support system 

Search and targeting system Kasatka-EP is unified to various types of platforms and can be integrated into ship-based helicopters, short- and long-range patrol aircraft, unmanned aircraft and balloon-based systems.

The presented search and targeting system Kasatka-EP is integrated into the IL-114 patrol aircraft designed to perform different tasks for patrolling air, underwater, surface and ground situations.

Depending on the equipment configuration, the system can be used in the following versions of patrol aircraft: reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft and maritime patrol aircraft. 

Tasks solved by Search and Targeting System Kasatka-EP

• Continuous reconnaissance of ground, surface, underwater and air targets in a designated patrol area  
• Automatic tracking, position determination and motion parameters of ground, surface, underwater and air targets  
• Classification (recognition) of localized targets 
• Real-time transmission of service and view information to ground and ship control points

Deployed on the board the maritime patrol aircraft:

• Continuous reconnaissance of ground, surface, underwater and air targets in a designated patrol area 
• Automatic tracking, position determination and motion parameters of ground, surface, underwater and air targets 
• Classification (recognition) of localized targets 
• Real-time transmission of service and view information to ground and ship control points 
• Supply of target designation data to anti-ship weapons 
• Generation and transmission of aiming cues to anti-submarine weapons 
• Application of weapons against localized surface and underwater targets 
• Warning the aircraft crew about the use of air and anti-aircraft missile weapons, formation of interference effects on the homing heads of missiles 
• Registration of data supplied from the subsystems (equipment operational analysis and operator action assessment) 
• Flight task preparation and post-flight information processing
