Tor-M2E tracked self-propelled Air Defence Missile System

Tor-M2E tracked self-propelled Air Defence Missile System (ADMS)

Rosoboronexport - Russia

Mission

Efficient means of hitting airplanes, helicopters, aerodynamic pilotless airborne vehicles, guided missiles and other high-precision weapons flying at middle, low and extremely low altitudes in complicated air and jamming situations.

Features

• Provides circular scanning of air in the assigned sector in elevation, acquisition and identification of air targets, evaluation of air situation, automatic prioritization of firing at the most threatening targets.
• Sends target designations of the selected targets to the guidance radar, performs targets fine search, lock-on and auto-tracking, defines the killing zone entry moment, launches missiles, automatically aims missiles to targets according to radio commands.
• Combat vehicle (CV) 9A331MU can perform search, acquisition and identification of air targets on the move or at halt, transition to targets tracking and missile launching is performed at a short halt.
• Combat vehicle (CV) 9A331MU crew totals 3 persons, including a driver.

Composition combat facilities

• Combat vehicle (CV) 9A331MU
• 9M334 surface-to-air missile module with four surface-to-air guided missile 9M331.

Surface-to-air missile module is a uniform construction consisting of transportation and launching container with surface-to-air guided missiles.

The SAM module is intended for storage, transportation and launching od surface-to-air guided missiles. During operation four, three, two or one missile can be in a module.

Composition technical facilities

• 9T244 transporteur/loader (TL)
• 9T245 transporting vehicle
• 9V887M2U maintenance workstation (battery MV)
• 9V887-1M2U maintenance workstation (regiment MV)
• 9F399-1M2U group SPTA set vehicle
• 9F116 rigging equipment set
• Training simulator for the combat vehicle operators
• MTO-AG3M1 maintenance shop

Additionally together with the system a control facility can be delivered

• 9S737M or 9S737MK mobile unified battery command post (UBCP)

It provides control of group actions of CV battery, communication with higher and middle-level echelons of air defence network.
