NUR-15 (TRS-15 Odra) is a Polish three-coordinate, mobile, medium-range radar, mounted on the chassis of Tatra or Jelcz cars. The radar was developed by the Polish State Telecommunications Institute (PIT), which joined the structures of Bumar Elektronika S.A. The main task of the radar is to fill the gap in a possible armed conflict after…

In 1975, PIT started designing a new generation of two-coordinate coherent radars with pulse compression, codenamed NUR. NUR stands for Ground Based Radar Device. The training of future service technicians began in the mid-80s at the Higher School of Radio Engineering in Jelenia Góra. The radar was used by the Polish Army in 1988. A…

In 1956, the Industrial Telecommunications Institute (PIT) started developing a new series of radar stations codenamed Jawor. These radars were to have much better technical parameters than the Nysa family of radars. They have been referred to as Radar Detection and Guidance Stations (RSWN). The final stage of research and development was a radar built…

In 1950, the General Staff of the Polish Army transferred the T-T conditions for a radar warning station to the National Telecommunications Institute. The work was started by the Separate Design Laboratory (TL) at the Radio Works named after Marcin Kasprzak. The program was codenamed "Nysa". As early as 1951, a laboratory model of a…

For many years, the second, next to the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile, was the AIM-7 Sparrow missile. It belonged to the medium-range missiles with radar guidance, commonly used in NATO countries. Unfortunately, it was not possible to develop and produce a fully satisfactory means of combat. The probability of achieving the target by the missile was…

The Lockheed Martin AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile is an American guided medium-range air-to-ground class guided missile. The missile is used to engage point targets beyond the enemy’s air defense range. The missile is maneuverable and has a reduced radar echo.

AGM-65 G-2 Maverick is a missile designed to destroy ground targets from the air. It is intended for direct support on the battlefield. It is known for its versatility and the ability to hit a whole range of stationary ground targets: bridges, bunkers, air defense nests, warehouses, MPS stations and others, as well as mobile…

The company in its present form was founded in 1988 in Ankara. In 2018, the concern employed over 3,000 employees. Roketsan Roket Sanayii ve Ticaret A.S. is a major Turkish arms producer.…

The beginnings of air navigation are associated with the beginnings of air communication carried out with the help of airships, i.e. self-propelled aerostats. On August 9, 1884, in Chalais-Meudon, Capt. Charles Renard and Capt. Arthur Krebs traveled 7,600 m in the La France airship at a speed of almost 20 km / h (5.5 m…

ILS (instrument landing system) is a radio system supporting the landing of an airplane in conditions of limited visibility. It belongs to the navigation systems. The system enables precise guidance of the aircraft from the limit of the range to a certain point on the glide path or even to the touchdown itself. It depends…
