MBDA 社의 PARS 3 LR 대전차 미사일 시험 발사 소식

 

MBDA 社가 개발한 Fire-and-Forget (발사후 망각) 방식을 적용한 3세대 대전차 미사일, PARS 3 LR 에 대한 시험 발사가

지난 5월말 스웨덴 북부 Vidsel Test Range 에서 성공적으로 실시되었다는 소식 입니다.

 

이번 시험 발사는 이틀에 걸쳐 실시되었으며, 2개의 고정목표물과 1개의 이동목표물에 각각 정확히 명중 되었다고 합니다.

 

아래 MBDA 社의 발표문과 함께 동영상 및 관련 사진들을 소개 합니다. 아래 사진들의 경우, 첫번째 사진은 이번에 실시된

시험 발사 장면이며, 나머지 사진들은 2009년 PARS 3 LR 대전차 미사일을 장착하고 시험 비행을 실시하는 모습 입니다.

MBDA's PARS 3 LR successfully tested on German Tiger

05/23/2011

 

Three firings, three hits! This is the impressive score of the test firing exercise conducted with the PARS 3 LR guided antitank missile system. For the first time, the test firings with warheads were carried out using a Tiger support helicopter of the German Army. All guided missiles hit their targets at the optimum point of impact.

 

The first two test firings from the Tiger  were carried out within one minute of each other. Flying just 10 m above the treetops, the helicopter first fired at a stationary target around 7,000 m away. The second missile was fired just a few moments later at a target travelling at approximately 40 km/h. To make this shot, the Tiger turned 180° and assumed a firing position at an altitude of approx. 100 m. The moving target was approx 700 m distant. Both PARS 3 LR missiles hit the targets precisely at their centres.

 

The third missile was fired the next day while the Tiger was flying forward at high speed. The Tiger fired on a stationary target around 7,000 m away while travelling at a speed of 180 km/h. This guided missile also hit its target at the optimum point of impact.

 

"With this successful firing campaign, we have impressively demonstrated the exceptional capabilities and high accuracy of the PARS 3 LR," declared Werner Kaltenegger, Managing Director of MBDA Deutschland. “We also demonstrated our dependable performance. In times of tight budgets, this is a particularly important signal to our customers.”

 

MBDA Deutschland conducted the campaign on the test range in Vidsel, Sweden. The three PARS 3 LR firings were part of a MBDA Deutschland export campaign. The guided missile system is on the short list for a procurement project of the Indian Army.

 

The PARS 3 LR is currently the most capable fire-and-forget guided missile system for combating mobile, armoured targets. The guided missile is manufactured by PARSYS, a joint venture of LFK GmbH (MBDA Deutschland) and Diehl BGT Defence. The German Army has already authorized series production of 680 PARS 3 LR guided missiles. This guided missile system is the future main armament of the Tiger support helicopter.
