Frigates and destroyers
Korsar class frigate:
A modernization of the Neustrashimy, it features an armament of either 16 SS-N-25 (similar to harpoon) or 12 Yakhont SSM's. It also has Kahtan and Rif-M SAM. $200/$190* mil.
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/1154ship.jpg
Korsar is intended for searching, tracking and engaging enemy surface ships and submarines. It can fight against air threats and fulfill convoy and patrol missions. The ship is capable of staying at sea for a long time and controlling large sea and air space areas.
The ship’s hull is divided by transverse bulkheads into 13 watertight compartments and equipped with active and passive stabilizers. All living quarters and service rooms are air-conditioned to provide a comfortable environment for the crew in all climatic areas the year round.
Korsar’s low noise operation reduces interference with the onboard sonar. The ship’s architecture and other engineering solutions considerably reduce its radar, IR and electromagnetic signatures. Korsar has special equipment providing its protection from fire and high survivability. Project 11541 fully meets all the requirements of international conventions on human life rescue at sea and on environmental protection.
Korsar’s two-shaft COGAG main power plant consists of a cruise component, including two gas turbine engines, two two-speed gearboxes and a cruise reduction accessory making it possible to engage any of cruising engines to both shaft lines; and a boost component comprising two gas-turbine engines and two boost single-speed gearboxes. The maximum engine power amounts to: - 2 x 6,600 kW (2 x 9,000 hp) (cruise engines); - 2 x 14,300 kW (2 x 19,500 hp) (boost engines).
The armament suite provides the ship with a multirole capability and includes target detection, data processing, targeting, and weapon management systems, and weapons proper.
The ship’s brain is the Sigma-E Combat Information and Control System (BIUS) which merges all onboard systems into a single complex and provides for automatic interaction of available assets in defensive and offensive warfare. The main functions of the Sigma-E system include: - preparation and control of combat actions, including search, detection and engagement of enemy submarines, surface ships and coastal targets; - air defense; - anti-submarine warfare; - anti-missile defense; - navigation safety; - control of helicopter on combat missions; - control and support of ship’s survivability.
Korsar’s main weapon is the Uran antiship missile system which comprises 16 missiles in transport/launch containers mounted on four launchers. The missile firing range is 5 to 130 km.
Uran can be replaced by the Yakhont system armed with 12 antiship missiles.
AD missile system
The ship’s artillery consists of the 100mm A-190E multipurpose naval gun mount and the 5P-10E fire control system designed to destroy enemy naval, coastal and aerial targets at a range of up to 20 km. The gun’s rate of fire is 80 rds/min.
Korsar’s air and anti-missile defense is provided by: - the Klinok multichannel AD system comprising one deck-mounted launcher with four launch modules (eight missiles each), and a fire control system which ensures firing at four aerial targets simultaneously. The missiles destroy various types of aerodynamic targets at altitudes of 10 to 6,000 m at a range of 1.5 to 12 km; - the Kashtan gun/missile AD system (two combat modules) with missile storing and reloading systems and a command module equipped with a target detection station. Instead of Kashtan, the ship can be armed with the Palma AD gun/missile system. Both systems can engage aerial targets at a range of 0.5 to 8 km and an altitude of 5 to 3,500 m.
The ship’s anti-submarine armament includes six single-tube stationary torpedo launchers to fire the SET-65E missile-torpedoes (range 5-35 km) and the 53-65KE torpedoes (range 2-19 km); and the RBU-6000 12-tube anti-submarine mortar (range 0.6-4.2 km) firing gravitational underwater projectiles.
Korsar’s self-defense systems also include the MR-407E ECM system, the PK-10 passive jamming system and the DP-65 anti-SEAL system.
The Fregat-MAE-3 radar is used for tracking the air and sea surface situation, detecting aerial and surface targets and supplying targeting data to armament fire control systems.
Anti-submarine weapon systems are targeted by the Zarya-ME sonar equipped with keel-mounted or towed arrays. The sonar is used to: - search and detect submarines; - position targets; - identify targets and provide for underwater communications with submarines; - classify underwater targets; - detect torpedoes; - transmit target coordinates to ASW control systems and the Combat Information and Control System.
Korsar carries a helicopter in a stationary hangar. Depending on the assigned missions, two helicopter versions can be based: a platform for over-horizon targeting for the Uran antiship missile system over a flight range of 200 km, or an ASW platform for searching and engaging enemy submarines.
Tikhiy class stealth destroyer:
Capable of engaging ships, subs, and planes, Kahtan, Yakhont, and all that good stuff. $650 mil/ $625 mil*
The Bisonic Defense Initiatives Agency (BDIA) has announced the creation of the Tikhiy (russian for quiet) class stealth destroyer.
In the Bisonic Fleet, it will be the succesor to the Sovremenny.
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/dd21_6.jpg
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/dd21_5.jpg
http://images.janes.com/defence/naval_forces/news/jni/jni010529_1_p.jpg
DESIGN
Tikhiy has a "tumblehome" hull form, i.e. a design in which hull slopes inward from above the waterline. This will significantly reduce the radar cross section since such a slope returns a much less defined radar image rather than a more hard-angled hull form.
Requirements for the Integrated Deckhouse EDM is that it is fully EMC (Electromagetic Compatibility) shielded with reduced infrared and radar signatures. Measures to fulfil these conditions include an all-composite superstructure, low signature electronically steered arrays, an integrated multi-function mast and low radar and infrared signatures. Other measures to reduce the vessel's infrared signature include the development of an exhaust suppressor.
The Tikhiy has a displacement of 12,000t, with a sustained speed of around 30 knots.
CREW
Tikhiy has a crew of 105, including the helicopter detachment. This represented major theoretical cost saving compared to crew levels of 330 on Spruance destroyers and 200 on Oliver Hazard Perry frigates.
WEAPONS
Tikhiy will have a sensor and weapons suite optimised for littoral warfare and for network centric warfare. Bisonic Engineers have put forward a solution based on a Peripheral Vertical Launch System (PVLS). The solution consists of a number of four-cell PVLS situated round the perimeter of the deck, rather than the usual centrally located VLS. This would reduce the ship's vulnerability to a single hit. Bisonic engineers have developed the Advanced Vertical Launch System (AVLS) that forms the basis of the PVLS.
Missiles carried are the Yakhont-4 (18), Rif-M (58), and ESSM or RAM (12).
The 155mm gun is able to fire up to 100nm at a sustained rate of 12 rounds per minute. It is equipped with a fully automated weapon handling and storage system and a family of advanced munitions and propelling charges, RADAR
The radar suite will consist of a dual band radar for horizon and volume search, an L-band volume search radar (VSR) integrated with the AN/SPY-3 multi-function radar.The two radars are to be integrated at waveform level for enhanced surveillance and tracking capability. The AN/SPY-3 Multi-Function Radar (MFR) is an X-band active phased-array radar designed to detect low-observable anti-ship cruise missiles and support fire-control illumination for the ESSM and SLAAM missiles.
SONAR
At the heart of the ship's Integrated Undersea Warfare System will be a dual (high frequency/medium frequency) frequency bow array and a multi-function towed array. The Bisonic Navy has already set up the IUSW-21 program to develop technologies including multifunction hull array, mine avoidance and shallow water ASW.
AIRCRAFT
2 Helicopters can be carried.
PROPULSION
The Tikhiy has an all-electric drive with an integrated power system, (IPS) based on in-hull permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMMs) with Advanced Induction Motors (AIM) as a possible backup solution. The provision of electric drive eliminates the need for drive shaft and reduction gears and brings benefits in acoustic signature reduction, an increase in available power for weapon systems and improvements in the quality of life for crew.
The IPS would supply power to other ship systems such as the combat systems and allow the rapid reconfiguration of power requirements.
DRS Technologies Power Technology unit has received development contracts for the PMM motors, electric drive and control system for the IPS. The Rolls-Royce MT30 36MW gas turbine generator set has been selected to power the IPS EDM.

Amphibious Warfare Ships
Zubr Class Air Cushioned Landing Craft. Similar to the LCAC, but size does matter, so its better. $60 mil/$50 mil*
http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/zubr/images/zubr6.jpg
DESIGN
The square-shaped pontoon structure of the hull provides a rugged, stable and seaworthy design. The pontoon's superstructure is divided by two longitudinal bulkheads into three functional sections. The middle section accommodates the compartment for armoured vehicles to be landed with taxi tracks and loading and unloading ramps. The two outer sections house the main and auxiliary power plants, the troop compartments, crew living quarters, and life support and NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection. Ventilation, air-conditioning and heating systems are installed in the amphibious troops compartments and in the crew living quarters. These areas are also fitted with thermal and sound insulation coatings and vibration isolation structures.
The ship is fitted with light armour plating to provide a degree of protection to the crew and the troops against ammunition and blast fragments. The Zubr can carry up to 130t of cargo: three medium battle tanks such as the T-80B tank, or eight BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles, or ten BTR-70 armoured personnel carriers, or 360 fully equipped amphibious landing troops. The ship has a bow and a stern ramp for fast landing of troops and combat material.
WEAPON SYSTEMS
The ship is equipped with two stabilised multiple rocket launchers, four Igla-1M portable air defence missile systems, and two AK-630 30mm automatic gun mounts. The AK-630 shipborne artillery system is supplied by the Ametist Design Bureau in Moscow, the Izumrud Joint Stock Company in Vladivostok, the Sporting and Hunting Guns Research and Design Bureau in Tula and the Tula Engineering Plant Joint Stock Company also based in Tula. The AK-630 artillery system provides defence against manned and unmanned air attack, including incoming sea- skimming anti-ship missiles, small sea targets, lightly armoured coastal targets and floating mines. The six-barrel automatic gun, model AO-18 has a firing rate of 5,000 rounds/min.
NAVIGATION
The Zubr is equipped with a navigation suite comprising two navigation radars, gyrocompass, magnetic compass, drift log, satellite navigation receiver, Decca receiver, radio direction finder, master gyroscope and day and night vision drift sight.
PROPULSION
Three upright ring shrouds, housing the air propellers and standing upright at the back of the ship, give the Zubr its distinctive appearance. The four bladed propellers which are provide the ship with a top speed of 60 knots. High-temperature gas turbine engines provide the power to drive the air-cushion blowers and the air propellers. The craft has four blowers model NO-10, fitted with axial operating wheels of 2.5m diameter, to generate the air cushion. The air thrust for movement is powered by three four-bladed, reversible, variable-pitch air propellers, 5.5m in diameter. The air propellers are mounted inside ring shrouds. The Zubr is equipped with two electric power plants. Each power plant has two gas turbine generators, each rated at 100kW. Control of the ship and systems is carried out from a main control station, a central control room and through various remote control panels.

http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/ivan/images/ivan4.jpg
GUNS
The ship has a 75mm AK-726 multipurpose twin gun, with 1,000 rounds of ammunition, supplied by the Frunze Arsenal Design Bureau in Saint Petersburg and by the Barrikady Production Association in Volgograd. The maximum firing range is 15.7km and the gun is capable of firing up to 100 rounds/min. Laying of the gun mount and the fire control can be carried out in automatic mode using the fire control radar system, in semi-automatic mode using the Prizma optical sighting device mounted on the turret or in manual mode using the gunner's sights.
The ship is armed with four 30mm AK-630 air defence guns manufactured by the Ametist Design Bureau, Izumrud JSC and the Tula Engineering Plant JSC. The AK-630 is for engaging airborne threats, small sea targets, floating mines and light armoured coastal targets.
The ship has a 122mm Grad-M rocket launcher with 320 rockets.
HELICOPTER
The Project 114 ship accommodates four helicopters. The helicopter hangar is located within the superstructure. There is one landing pad forward of the superstructure and one behind the superstructure. The ship's helicopters are the Kamov Ka-27 or Ka-29. The KA-27 (NATO codename Helix) is a naval anti-submarine helicopter and the KA-29 is the combat transport version. The helicopter has the capacity to ferry 16 troops or 2t in the cabin plus 4t on a sling.
SYSTEMS
The ship's radar systems include a surveillance radar operating in E-band, two I-band navigation radars, and three fire control radars: G-band for the 76mm gun, H/I band for the 30mm guns and F/H/I band for the Osa-M missile system.

http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/ivan/images/ivan3.jpg
Alexander Nevsky Class Large Landing Ship. This is a new generation large landing craft, it is smaller but less expensive than the Ivan Rogov. $135 mil/$125 mil*
http://www.milparade.com/security/29/0101.jpg
The basic configuration includes an artillery battery consisting of one AK-176 76mm gun mount and two AK-630M 30 mm gun mounts supported by the MR-123-02 fire control system. Two MS-227 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) with 66 140mm rockets for each system can be installed in lieu of the AK-176 gun mount or in addition to it. If it is necessary to augment the MLRS used to provide fire support to a landing force, a MLRS developed by Ametist from the Grad MLRS outfitted with the Puma fire control system can be installed on board the ship. To detect air and surface targets, the Positive-ME radar system can be installed. For safe navigation the following equipment can be installed: navigation radars Pal-N1 and Pal-N3, gyrocompass system Kurs-12-2, magnetic compass KM-145-8, log LN1-2, echo sounder NEL-20K, dead reckoning system Topaz, and satellite navigation system SCh-4.
The air defense system consists of two small-caliber 30mm gun systems, has been designated Palma. The Palma system is all-weather. Use can be made of the Igla, Stinger and Mistral man-potable homing missiles. Upon client's request, such artillery systems as Breda and Oerlikon can be installed during the construction of the ship.
The ship's main distinguishing feature is that it can discharge amphibious infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers into the water by a bow ramp at sea state up to 3, inclusive, while, it is known that foreign ships of this class can discharge vehicles only by the stern ramp at sea state below 2.
The ship's ability to unload amphibious vehicles into the water by the bow ramp greatly facilitates troop landing operations at shallow water areas inaccessible to the LCVP-type landing craft and makes it possible to use amphibious vehicles in place of displacement-type landing craft. Moreover, an effective weapons suite and armor protection in combination with high maneuverability of infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers considerably enhance the effectiveness of troop landing operations. Such a ship can keep moving towards the shore until its bow runs aground thus considerably reducing the distance to the shore and making it possible to effectively use low-speed amphibious vehicles in troop landing operations.
While developing the large landing ship, designers take into consideration the specific features of the Volk and VO-100 vehicles and other Bisonic-made hardware which sell well on the world market.
It is also worth noting that the ship can carry cargoes in containers made to international standards. The total weight of the containerized cargo that can be carried by the ship is up to 1,500 tons. To handle cargo, the ship is equipped with a 16-ton derrick.
The ship has two interdeck ramps used to move vehicles onto the upper deck, due to which fact a greater number of armored personnel carriers and heavy trucks (up to 36) can be taken on board. At the expense of the helicopter capability, vehicles can be parked on the helicopter pad at the ship's stern. There is a passage for vehicles through the hangar on the upper deck to the area amidships and to the cargo well.
Provision is made on the large landing ship for a permanently stationed troop-landing helicopter, Ka-29 or Ka-60, kept in the hangar with rotor blades folded. To operate the helicopter in diverse hydrometeorological conditions, a short-range navigation and landing system and other requisite equipment are provided.

Amur class diesel submarine
One of the worlds quietest submarines, if not the worlds quietest submarine, Amur is a cost effective submarine capable of defending the general vicinity of its country. $250/$235 mil*

The submarine has been conceived as a kind of an underwater sea hunter, capable of destroying any targets - surface naval ships, transport vessels, or submarines - using torpedoes, missiles, mines and also with the help of frogmen.
The following basic concepts underlie the design of the new-generation submarine:
-the high combat efficiency of
-the submarine, surpassing other submarines of a similar class;
-guaranteed early detection of enemy ships;
-simple and convenient operation;
-smaller labor requirements in construction compared to previous generation submarines.
New radioelectronic and other equipment for the submarine is being developed by the traditional organizations, which have worked for a long time for Dark Terror's submarine-building industry, and by a number of other leading organizations of Dark Terror's military-industrial complex. Many first-class companies from the military-industrial complex are ready to offer their services. The competitive approach and in-depth analysis on the potential of these companies allowed Rubin and the Bisonic Navy to raise the standards imposed on the new equipment and also be sure that the contracts would be carried out.
At present the work on the development of the basic equipment has passed the stage of technical designs and working design documentation for the production of the first models. The submarine s export version has been designated Amur 1850. Its armament includes six
533-mm torpedo tubes. The ammunition consists of 16 units, which may include universal torpedoes, anti-submarine missile torpedoes, cruise missiles, mines.
Provisions are made for using high-speed anti-submarine missiles Shkval. The foreign navies have no counterparts for this weapon, whose action may be likened to the lightning stab of a dagger.
The firing system is such that ammunition may be fired in single shots or volleys of up to 6 units. It takes several seconds to fire a volley of two torpedoes from the stand-by torpedo tubes. A mechanical loading mechanism, traditionally installed on Bisonic submarines, allows the torpedo tubes to be automatically reloaded and quickly fire the second and subsequent volleys. All preparations for firing and actual firing are automated and controlled from the operator s console in the main control room of the submarine.
The sonar equipment includes highly sensitive direction listening antennas - two bow antennas and two sideboard antennas at the forward end of the submarine. The antennas are made as large as possible. They occupy most of the forward end surface. No similar submarines in Russia or abroad have sonar antennas covering such a large area. The shape of the forward end has been thoroughly optimized hydrodynamically and tested in the large cavitation tunnel at the Central Research Institute in Nachtaka.
In addition to the stationary antennas the submarine has a trailing sonar antenna with an ssue point in the upper vertical stabilizer.
The low noise of the submarine equipment, use of state-of-the-art acoustic protection systems, unique engineering solutions suggested by specialists of Rubin , the Central Research Institute and other Bisonic Navy research organizations mean that the Amur 1950 will be 8-10 times quieter than preceding generation Kilo submarines.
A highly efficient sonar system, coupled with the low level of noise of the submarine proper, guarantees early detection of enemy ships, including superlow-noise submarines, at large distances. Consequently, the most favorable conditions are created for deciding when to attack.
The navigation equipment includes an inertial navigation system, which provides the means for safe navigation and furnishes data about the submarine s location and its motion parameters with the requisite firing precision.
The submarine has an attack periscope with a night vision channel and a laser range finder. The radio communication facilities provide reliable two-way communication with the shore command posts, ships and aircraft in the surface condition and at the periscope depth. A trail antenna is used to receive command messages at large depths. The antenna is extended from the pressure hull. The radar system, with active and passive antennas mounted on one hoist-mast gear, has a high concealment channel in the active mode and furnishes complete information about the surface and air situation without exposing the submarine.
Control of the submarine, armament, and technical facilities is highly automated and carried out from the operators consoles concentrated in the main control room. Consequently the number of crew has been reduced to 41 men with a three-shift watch and 34 men with a two-shift watch. All radioelectronic facilities are included in a common data exchange system which makes it possible to analyze data automatically at the maximum possible speed and submit the processed data to the commander for decision-making. The equipment can also be controlled from local control stations in the compartments.
Comprehensive model trials, carried out at the Krylov Central Research Institute, demonstrated the good maneuverability of the submarine in all operating conditions. The main single-shaft propulsion plant includes a 2,000-kW propulsion motor and a storage battery consisting of two groups of battery cells. The full submerged speed is 22 knots. For a submarine, armed with long-range and high-speed underwater weapons and antiship cruise missiles, this is sufficient to ensure effective performance of combat tasks. .
For motion in the surface condition and at a periscope depth the submarine is equipped with two AC diesel-generators with rectifiers. The power rating of the diesel-generators was selected so as to ensure conventional charging of the storage battery and use of a special accelerated charging mode developed by the Russian specialists to decrease the time the submarine has to spend at a periscope depth. The absence of a brush-type collector increases the operational safety of the generators.
The new equipment developed for the Amur submarine is superior to the equipment used on third-generation submarines in terms of vibroacoustic characteristics and durability. Even if operated with high intensity, the submarine equipment does not require factory repair earlier than 10 years after it has been put into service. The submarine s designers abided by the principle your ship is your home , characteristic of the Bisonic approach for providing comforts for the crew. Cabins are provided for all crew members, including double- berthed cabins for the officers. The commanding officer has a well furnished cozy single cabin.
Meals are served in a messroom with a buffet room. All food stock is kept in refrigerated and non-refrigerated storage rooms. The newly developed galley equip- ment is small in size and consumes little power. It allows hot meals to be cooked quickly, without affecting the taste and nutrient qualities of the food.
Fresh water is kept in stainless steel tanks which effectively preserve its quality. Water supplies can be replenished with the help of a distilling plant, making use of the heat generated by the diesels. On the whole the water supply is quite sufficient for drinking needs and hygienic purposes (dish washing, showers).
The designers of the new submarine had to find a radical solution to the environmental problems, which arise during the submarine s use. Provisions were made to install equipment to clean bilge waters from petroleum products, treat waste-water, briquette food packing and garbage and grind food waste. This ensured compliance with existing international ecological requirements for ships. The submarine does not even have any devices for discharging waste overboard. The Amur submarine can be operated in any region of the World Ocean free from continuous ice cover.
Rubin has completed design work on a whole family of the Amur diesel-electric submarines with a displacement of 1,850 tons. The designers adopted essentially the same design and layout solutions for entire submarines and their separate subsystems, using unified or modified equipment. Amur 1850's storage battery has a large capacity and it is equipped with a more powerful propulsion motor. Hence, it boasts an increased cruising range, submerged speed and endurance and better livability. However, the displacement of the submarine has increased to 1,850 tons.

Frigates and destroyers
Korsar class frigate:
A modernization of the Neustrashimy, it features an armament of either 16 SS-N-25 (similar to harpoon) or 12 Yakhont SSM's. It also has Kahtan and Rif-M SAM. $200/$190* mil.
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/1154ship.jpg
Korsar is intended for searching, tracking and engaging enemy surface ships and submarines. It can fight against air threats and fulfill convoy and patrol missions. The ship is capable of staying at sea for a long time and controlling large sea and air space areas.
The ship’s hull is divided by transverse bulkheads into 13 watertight compartments and equipped with active and passive stabilizers. All living quarters and service rooms are air-conditioned to provide a comfortable environment for the crew in all climatic areas the year round.
Korsar’s low noise operation reduces interference with the onboard sonar. The ship’s architecture and other engineering solutions considerably reduce its radar, IR and electromagnetic signatures. Korsar has special equipment providing its protection from fire and high survivability. Project 11541 fully meets all the requirements of international conventions on human life rescue at sea and on environmental protection.
Korsar’s two-shaft COGAG main power plant consists of a cruise component, including two gas turbine engines, two two-speed gearboxes and a cruise reduction accessory making it possible to engage any of cruising engines to both shaft lines; and a boost component comprising two gas-turbine engines and two boost single-speed gearboxes. The maximum engine power amounts to: - 2 x 6,600 kW (2 x 9,000 hp) (cruise engines); - 2 x 14,300 kW (2 x 19,500 hp) (boost engines).
The armament suite provides the ship with a multirole capability and includes target detection, data processing, targeting, and weapon management systems, and weapons proper.
The ship’s brain is the Sigma-E Combat Information and Control System (BIUS) which merges all onboard systems into a single complex and provides for automatic interaction of available assets in defensive and offensive warfare. The main functions of the Sigma-E system include: - preparation and control of combat actions, including search, detection and engagement of enemy submarines, surface ships and coastal targets; - air defense; - anti-submarine warfare; - anti-missile defense; - navigation safety; - control of helicopter on combat missions; - control and support of ship’s survivability.
Korsar’s main weapon is the Uran antiship missile system which comprises 16 missiles in transport/launch containers mounted on four launchers. The missile firing range is 5 to 130 km.
Uran can be replaced by the Yakhont system armed with 12 antiship missiles.
AD missile system
The ship’s artillery consists of the 100mm A-190E multipurpose naval gun mount and the 5P-10E fire control system designed to destroy enemy naval, coastal and aerial targets at a range of up to 20 km. The gun’s rate of fire is 80 rds/min.
Korsar’s air and anti-missile defense is provided by: - the Klinok multichannel AD system comprising one deck-mounted launcher with four launch modules (eight missiles each), and a fire control system which ensures firing at four aerial targets simultaneously. The missiles destroy various types of aerodynamic targets at altitudes of 10 to 6,000 m at a range of 1.5 to 12 km; - the Kashtan gun/missile AD system (two combat modules) with missile storing and reloading systems and a command module equipped with a target detection station. Instead of Kashtan, the ship can be armed with the Palma AD gun/missile system. Both systems can engage aerial targets at a range of 0.5 to 8 km and an altitude of 5 to 3,500 m.
The ship’s anti-submarine armament includes six single-tube stationary torpedo launchers to fire the SET-65E missile-torpedoes (range 5-35 km) and the 53-65KE torpedoes (range 2-19 km); and the RBU-6000 12-tube anti-submarine mortar (range 0.6-4.2 km) firing gravitational underwater projectiles.
Korsar’s self-defense systems also include the MR-407E ECM system, the PK-10 passive jamming system and the DP-65 anti-SEAL system.
The Fregat-MAE-3 radar is used for tracking the air and sea surface situation, detecting aerial and surface targets and supplying targeting data to armament fire control systems.
Anti-submarine weapon systems are targeted by the Zarya-ME sonar equipped with keel-mounted or towed arrays. The sonar is used to: - search and detect submarines; - position targets; - identify targets and provide for underwater communications with submarines; - classify underwater targets; - detect torpedoes; - transmit target coordinates to ASW control systems and the Combat Information and Control System.
Korsar carries a helicopter in a stationary hangar. Depending on the assigned missions, two helicopter versions can be based: a platform for over-horizon targeting for the Uran antiship missile system over a flight range of 200 km, or an ASW platform for searching and engaging enemy submarines.
Tikhiy class stealth destroyer:
Capable of engaging ships, subs, and planes, Kahtan, Yakhont, and all that good stuff. $650 mil/ $625 mil*
The Bisonic Defense Initiatives Agency (BDIA) has announced the creation of the Tikhiy (russian for quiet) class stealth destroyer.
In the Bisonic Fleet, it will be the succesor to the Sovremenny.
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/dd21_6.jpg
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~steven/images/dd21_5.jpg
http://images.janes.com/defence/naval_forces/news/jni/jni010529_1_p.jpg
DESIGN
Tikhiy has a "tumblehome" hull form, i.e. a design in which hull slopes inward from above the waterline. This will significantly reduce the radar cross section since such a slope returns a much less defined radar image rather than a more hard-angled hull form.
Requirements for the Integrated Deckhouse EDM is that it is fully EMC (Electromagetic Compatibility) shielded with reduced infrared and radar signatures. Measures to fulfil these conditions include an all-composite superstructure, low signature electronically steered arrays, an integrated multi-function mast and low radar and infrared signatures. Other measures to reduce the vessel's infrared signature include the development of an exhaust suppressor.
The Tikhiy has a displacement of 12,000t, with a sustained speed of around 30 knots.
CREW
Tikhiy has a crew of 105, including the helicopter detachment. This represented major theoretical cost saving compared to crew levels of 330 on Spruance destroyers and 200 on Oliver Hazard Perry frigates.
WEAPONS
Tikhiy will have a sensor and weapons suite optimised for littoral warfare and for network centric warfare. Bisonic Engineers have put forward a solution based on a Peripheral Vertical Launch System (PVLS). The solution consists of a number of four-cell PVLS situated round the perimeter of the deck, rather than the usual centrally located VLS. This would reduce the ship's vulnerability to a single hit. Bisonic engineers have developed the Advanced Vertical Launch System (AVLS) that forms the basis of the PVLS.
Missiles carried are the Yakhont-4 (18), Rif-M (58), and ESSM or RAM (12).
The 155mm gun is able to fire up to 100nm at a sustained rate of 12 rounds per minute. It is equipped with a fully automated weapon handling and storage system and a family of advanced munitions and propelling charges, RADAR
The radar suite will consist of a dual band radar for horizon and volume search, an L-band volume search radar (VSR) integrated with the AN/SPY-3 multi-function radar.The two radars are to be integrated at waveform level for enhanced surveillance and tracking capability. The AN/SPY-3 Multi-Function Radar (MFR) is an X-band active phased-array radar designed to detect low-observable anti-ship cruise missiles and support fire-control illumination for the ESSM and SLAAM missiles.
SONAR
At the heart of the ship's Integrated Undersea Warfare System will be a dual (high frequency/medium frequency) frequency bow array and a multi-function towed array. The Bisonic Navy has already set up the IUSW-21 program to develop technologies including multifunction hull array, mine avoidance and shallow water ASW.
AIRCRAFT
2 Helicopters can be carried.
PROPULSION
The Tikhiy has an all-electric drive with an integrated power system, (IPS) based on in-hull permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMMs) with Advanced Induction Motors (AIM) as a possible backup solution. The provision of electric drive eliminates the need for drive shaft and reduction gears and brings benefits in acoustic signature reduction, an increase in available power for weapon systems and improvements in the quality of life for crew.
The IPS would supply power to other ship systems such as the combat systems and allow the rapid reconfiguration of power requirements.
DRS Technologies Power Technology unit has received development contracts for the PMM motors, electric drive and control system for the IPS. The Rolls-Royce MT30 36MW gas turbine generator set has been selected to power the IPS EDM.

The basic configuration includes an artillery battery consisting of one AK-176 76mm gun mount and two AK-630M 30 mm gun mounts supported by the MR-123-02 fire control system. Two MS-227 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) with 66 140mm rockets for each system can be installed in lieu of the AK-176 gun mount or in addition to it. If it is necessary to augment the MLRS used to provide fire support to a landing force, a MLRS developed by Ametist from the Grad MLRS outfitted with the Puma fire control system can be installed on board the ship. To detect air and surface targets, the Positive-ME radar system can be installed. For safe navigation the following equipment can be installed: navigation radars Pal-N1 and Pal-N3, gyrocompass system Kurs-12-2, magnetic compass KM-145-8, log LN1-2, echo sounder NEL-20K, dead reckoning system Topaz, and satellite navigation system SCh-4.
The air defense system consists of two small-caliber 30mm gun systems, has been designated Palma. The Palma system is all-weather. Use can be made of the Igla, Stinger and Mistral man-potable homing missiles. Upon client's request, such artillery systems as Breda and Oerlikon can be installed during the construction of the ship.
The ship's main distinguishing feature is that it can discharge amphibious infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers into the water by a bow ramp at sea state up to 3, inclusive, while, it is known that foreign ships of this class can discharge vehicles only by the stern ramp at sea state below 2.
The ship's ability to unload amphibious vehicles into the water by the bow ramp greatly facilitates troop landing operations at shallow water areas inaccessible to the LCVP-type landing craft and makes it possible to use amphibious vehicles in place of displacement-type landing craft. Moreover, an effective weapons suite and armor protection in combination with high maneuverability of infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers considerably enhance the effectiveness of troop landing operations. Such a ship can keep moving towards the shore until its bow runs aground thus considerably reducing the distance to the shore and making it possible to effectively use low-speed amphibious vehicles in troop landing operations.
While developing the large landing ship, designers take into consideration the specific features of the Volk and VO-100 vehicles and other Bisonic-made hardware which sell well on the world market.
It is also worth noting that the ship can carry cargoes in containers made to international standards. The total weight of the containerized cargo that can be carried by the ship is up to 1,500 tons. To handle cargo, the ship is equipped with a 16-ton derrick.
The ship has two interdeck ramps used to move vehicles onto the upper deck, due to which fact a greater number of armored personnel carriers and heavy trucks (up to 36) can be taken on board. At the expense of the helicopter capability, vehicles can be parked on the helicopter pad at the ship's stern. There is a passage for vehicles through the hangar on the upper deck to the area amidships and to the cargo well.
Provision is made on the large landing ship for a permanently stationed troop-landing helicopter, Ka-29 or Ka-60, kept in the hangar with rotor blades folded. To operate the helicopter in diverse hydrometeorological conditions, a short-range navigation and landing system and other requisite equipment are provided.

Air Cavity Ships (ACS) use Air Lubrication concept: a small amount of air is injected under a specially profilied bottom so that most of the hull surface is separated form contact with water. That results in drag reduction.
The Serna is designed to transport wheeled and tracked non-amphibious vehicles from large landing ships to coastal shallow waters and to participate in landing operations in coastal zones and inland seas up to 300 miles away from their base. The boats have a displacement of 100 tons and are capable of carrying landing craft weighing up to 60 tons at a speed of 32 knots. The boats can be delivered to a landing operation area on board large landing ships.

Amur class diesel submarine
One of the worlds quietest submarines, if not the worlds quietest submarine, Amur is a cost effective submarine capable of defending the general vicinity of its country. $250/$235 mil*

The submarine has been conceived as a kind of an underwater sea hunter, capable of destroying any targets - surface naval ships, transport vessels, or submarines - using torpedoes, missiles, mines and also with the help of frogmen.
The following basic concepts underlie the design of the new-generation submarine:
-the high combat efficiency of
-the submarine, surpassing other submarines of a similar class;
-guaranteed early detection of enemy ships;
-simple and convenient operation;
-smaller labor requirements in construction compared to previous generation submarines.
New radioelectronic and other equipment for the submarine is being developed by the traditional organizations, which have worked for a long time for Dark Terror's submarine-building industry, and by a number of other leading organizations of Dark Terror's military-industrial complex. Many first-class companies from the military-industrial complex are ready to offer their services. The competitive approach and in-depth analysis on the potential of these companies allowed Rubin and the Bisonic Navy to raise the standards imposed on the new equipment and also be sure that the contracts would be carried out.
At present the work on the development of the basic equipment has passed the stage of technical designs and working design documentation for the production of the first models. The submarine s export version has been designated Amur 1850. Its armament includes six
533-mm torpedo tubes. The ammunition consists of 16 units, which may include universal torpedoes, anti-submarine missile torpedoes, cruise missiles, mines.
Provisions are made for using high-speed anti-submarine missiles Shkval. The foreign navies have no counterparts for this weapon, whose action may be likened to the lightning stab of a dagger.
The firing system is such that ammunition may be fired in single shots or volleys of up to 6 units. It takes several seconds to fire a volley of two torpedoes from the stand-by torpedo tubes. A mechanical loading mechanism, traditionally installed on Bisonic submarines, allows the torpedo tubes to be automatically reloaded and quickly fire the second and subsequent volleys. All preparations for firing and actual firing are automated and controlled from the operator s console in the main control room of the submarine.
The sonar equipment includes highly sensitive direction listening antennas - two bow antennas and two sideboard antennas at the forward end of the submarine. The antennas are made as large as possible. They occupy most of the forward end surface. No similar submarines in Russia or abroad have sonar antennas covering such a large area. The shape of the forward end has been thoroughly optimized hydrodynamically and tested in the large cavitation tunnel at the Central Research Institute in Nachtaka.
In addition to the stationary antennas the submarine has a trailing sonar antenna with an ssue point in the upper vertical stabilizer.
The low noise of the submarine equipment, use of state-of-the-art acoustic protection systems, unique engineering solutions suggested by specialists of Rubin , the Central Research Institute and other Bisonic Navy research organizations mean that the Amur 1950 will be 8-10 times quieter than preceding generation Kilo submarines.
A highly efficient sonar system, coupled with the low level of noise of the submarine proper, guarantees early detection of enemy ships, including superlow-noise submarines, at large distances. Consequently, the most favorable conditions are created for deciding when to attack.
The navigation equipment includes an inertial navigation system, which provides the means for safe navigation and furnishes data about the submarine s location and its motion parameters with the requisite firing precision.
The submarine has an attack periscope with a night vision channel and a laser range finder. The radio communication facilities provide reliable two-way communication with the shore command posts, ships and aircraft in the surface condition and at the periscope depth. A trail antenna is used to receive command messages at large depths. The antenna is extended from the pressure hull. The radar system, with active and passive antennas mounted on one hoist-mast gear, has a high concealment channel in the active mode and furnishes complete information about the surface and air situation without exposing the submarine.
Control of the submarine, armament, and technical facilities is highly automated and carried out from the operators consoles concentrated in the main control room. Consequently the number of crew has been reduced to 41 men with a three-shift watch and 34 men with a two-shift watch. All radioelectronic facilities are included in a common data exchange system which makes it possible to analyze data automatically at the maximum possible speed and submit the processed data to the commander for decision-making. The equipment can also be controlled from local control stations in the compartments.
Comprehensive model trials, carried out at the Krylov Central Research Institute, demonstrated the good maneuverability of the submarine in all operating conditions. The main single-shaft propulsion plant includes a 2,000-kW propulsion motor and a storage battery consisting of two groups of battery cells. The full submerged speed is 22 knots. For a submarine, armed with long-range and high-speed underwater weapons and antiship cruise missiles, this is sufficient to ensure effective performance of combat tasks. .
For motion in the surface condition and at a periscope depth the submarine is equipped with two AC diesel-generators with rectifiers. The power rating of the diesel-generators was selected so as to ensure conventional charging of the storage battery and use of a special accelerated charging mode developed by the Russian specialists to decrease the time the submarine has to spend at a periscope depth. The absence of a brush-type collector increases the operational safety of the generators.
The new equipment developed for the Amur submarine is superior to the equipment used on third-generation submarines in terms of vibroacoustic characteristics and durability. Even if operated with high intensity, the submarine equipment does not require factory repair earlier than 10 years after it has been put into service. The submarine s designers abided by the principle your ship is your home , characteristic of the Bisonic approach for providing comforts for the crew. Cabins are provided for all crew members, including double- berthed cabins for the officers. The commanding officer has a well furnished cozy single cabin.
Meals are served in a messroom with a buffet room. All food stock is kept in refrigerated and non-refrigerated storage rooms. The newly developed galley equip- ment is small in size and consumes little power. It allows hot meals to be cooked quickly, without affecting the taste and nutrient qualities of the food.
Fresh water is kept in stainless steel tanks which effectively preserve its quality. Water supplies can be replenished with the help of a distilling plant, making use of the heat generated by the diesels. On the whole the water supply is quite sufficient for drinking needs and hygienic purposes (dish washing, showers).
The designers of the new submarine had to find a radical solution to the environmental problems, which arise during the submarine s use. Provisions were made to install equipment to clean bilge waters from petroleum products, treat waste-water, briquette food packing and garbage and grind food waste. This ensured compliance with existing international ecological requirements for ships. The submarine does not even have any devices for discharging waste overboard. The Amur submarine can be operated in any region of the World Ocean free from continuous ice cover.
Rubin has completed design work on a whole family of the Amur diesel-electric submarines with a displacement of 1,850 tons. The designers adopted essentially the same design and layout solutions for entire submarines and their separate subsystems, using unified or modified equipment. Amur 1850's storage battery has a large capacity and it is equipped with a more powerful propulsion motor. Hence, it boasts an increased cruising range, submerged speed and endurance and better livability. However, the displacement of the submarine has increased to 1,850 tons.
