85V6-A VEGA Electronic Intelligence System (R&D Project)
Mission The 85V6-A Vega ELINT system is designed for detection, location, ide ntific ation, classificatio n and trac ki ng of ground/air/maritime targets by their radio emissions. The 85V6-A Vega system can provide radio control and information support to groupings of AD, ELINT and EW units, as well as to early w arni ng, air traffic control, and jamming source detection s yste ms.
Composition • three signal detection/directionfinding/classification stations • ELINT system control post In combat the Vega stations are placed up to 30 km apart with the control post usually deployed near one of them. The Vega station can be used autonomously and within AD, EW, border guard and other combat units.

The ELINT syste m's control post is designed to define pl a nar coor di nat es and motion parameters of radio emitting sources based on data provided by the three stations, as well as to couple with the superior control centre. Bearings and other target data are transfer ed from the detection and directionfinding stations to the control post via data links. Based on these data, target locations and tracks are calculated by means of triangulation and visualized on the digital map of the monitored region with false tracks eliminate d by programme methods and identified with bearings of objects. Functional testing of the station is to be acco m plished and ELINT summaries registered periodicall y.
