The
Pantsir-S1 (SA-22 Greyhound NATO code name) is an air defense missile-gun
system designed to protect vital small-size and big military areas,
industrial targets and land forces units and reinforced the air defense
units responsible for the protection of troops and military installations
against precision-guided air attack from low and extreme low altitudes.
The mobile version of the Pantsir-S1 system includes a combat vehicle
( up to six vehicles in a battery), surface-to-air guided missiles,
30 mm rounds, a transporter-loader vehicle (one per two combat vehicles),
maintenance and training facilities. The Pantsir-S1 is designed by the
KBP Instrument Design Bureau of Tula, Russia, and is manufactured by
the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant, Ulyanovsk, Russia. It has the reporting
code name NATO, SA-22 Greyhound. The Pantsir-S1 was unveiled for the
first time to the public during the MAKS Air Show in Zhukosvsky near
Moscow in 1995. In May 2000, the United Arab Emirates ordered 50 96K6
Pantsir-S1 systems, mounted on MAN SX 45 8×8 wheeled vehicles.
The order was worth $734m. The first batch was delivered in November
2004. However a new radar was requested by the UAE and first deliveries
of the completed system took place in 2007. Syria has placed an order
for 50 Pantsir-S1 systems. Deliveries began in June 2008. Jordan has
also placed an order for an undisclosed number of systems. The first
10 Pantsir S1 (SA-22 Greyhound) antiaircraft surface-to-air missile
systems entered service with the Russian Air Force the 18 March 2010.

| Armament |
The Pantsir-S1
is armed with two 2A38M 30mm automatic anti-aircraft guns
developed from the two-barreled 30mm GSh-30 gun, coupled with
twelve 57E6 surface-to-air missiles on launchers.

| Design
and protection |
| Pantsir-S1
carries up to twelve 57E6 or 57E6-E two-stage solid fuel radio-command-guided
surface-to-air missiles in sealed ready-to-launch containers.
Missiles are arranged into two six-tube groups on the turret.
The missile has a bicalibre body in tandem configuration. The
first stage is a booster, providing rapid acceleration within
the first 2 second of flight, after it is separated from the
sustainer-stage. The sustainer is the highly agile part of the
missile and contains the high explosive multiple continuous
rod and fragmentation warhead, contact and proximity fuses as
also radio transponder and laser responder to be localised for
guidance. The missile is not fitted with seeker to keep target
engagement costs low. Instead high-precision target and missile
tracking is provided via the systems multiband sensor system
and guidance data is submitted via radio link for up to four
missiles in flight. Missiles can be fired in at up to four targets
but also salvos of two missiles at one target. Missile is believed
to have a hit probability of 70-95% and have a 15 year storage
lifetime in its sealed containers. Pantsir-S1 combat vehicles
can fire missiles on the move. |
| Propulsion |
Pantsir-S1
can be mounted on a 10t Ural-5323 truck chassis with a turret
that houses the armament, laying drives, sensors, control equipment
and crew. The Ural-5323 truck is four-axle, 8×8 all-wheel
drive with single tyre wheels. The first and second axle wheels
are steerable. The engine is an air-cooled diesel Ural-745.10
providing 290hp. The dual-plate mechanical clutch has a pneumatic
booster and three-range five-speed gearbox. In the Russian army,
the Pantsir-S1 weapon system is mounted on a Kamaz 6560 8x8
chassis. The Pantsir-S1 delivered to the Army of United Arab
Emirates is mounted on MAN SX 45 truck chassis 8×8. Further
Pantsir-S1 option is a tracked chassis type GM-352M1E from the
Belarus Company "Minsk Tractor Plant". |
| Combat
use |
The
Pantsir-S1 is able to defeat almost the entire spectrum of air
threats, all types of precision guided weapons in particular,
flying at a speed of up to 1,000 m/s and approaching from different
bearings at an angle of 0- 10 ° to 60 - 70°, aircraft
flying at a speed of up to 500 m/s, helicopters, remotely piloted
vehicles, as well as light armoured ground targets and enemy
manpower. The combination of missile and gun armament enabling
the operator to create a continuous target engagement zone and
fire at targets uninterruptedly beginning from their maximum
range of 18 to 20 km up to a range of 200 m. Target flying at
an altitude of 5 to 15 km can be shot down. The Pantsir-S1 is
equipped with multiple-mode adaptive radar/optical weapons control
system operating in the UHF, EHF and IR regions of the spectrum.
The system features high immunity to jamming, survivability
in the presence of electronic countermeasures and under enemy
fire.
The Pantsir-S1 fire control system includes a target acquisition
radar and dual waveband tracking radar (designation 1RS2-1E
for export models), which operates in the UHF and EHF waveband.
Detection range is 32–36 km and tracking range is 24–28
km for a target with 2 m2 RCS.[4] This radar tracks both targets
and the surface-to-air missile while in flight. As
well as radar, the fire control system also has an electro-optic
channel with long-wave thermal imager and infrared direction
finder, including digital signal processing and automatic target
tracking. A simplified, lower-cost version of Pantsir-S1 is
also being developed for export, with only the electro-optic
fire control system fitted. The two independent guidance channels
- radar and electro-optic - allow two targets to be engaged
simultaneously. Maximum engagement rate is up to 10 targets
per minute.
