Coastal mobile artillery system A-222E 130mm

Mission

A-222E Bereg-E 130mm coastal mobile artillery system is designed to destroy/suppress enemy surface ships/military vessels.

System employed to defense naval bases, friendly land forces and shore-based installations from attacks of enemy ships and to repel enemy amphibious forces, to protect offshore sea lines, as well as to guard of anchorages and straits.

Composition

  • central post with fire control system;
  • self-propelled gun mounts;
  • duty support vehicles (in agreement with the customer).

Advantages

The system can effectively engage highspeed (up to 200 knots) moving sea and ground targets.

The fire control system includes a radar, TV/optical station with laser rangefinder, surveillance and target detection/designation sight, digital computer providing calculation of firing data for four targets and simultaneous engagement of two targets in active countermeasures environment.

Self-propelled guns can deliver fire by remote commands from the central post, or in the self-contained mode (using their optical sight). The gun is loaded semi-automatically with complete rounds. The guns can fire rounds with HE projectiles (a base fuse), and АА projectiles (a nose fuse), as well as drill and dummy rounds.

Electric power is supplied by two diesel generators based on duty support vehicles. Fuel tank capacity is sufficient for the system to operate in the self-contained mode for seven days.
