SPBE 500-D single cluster bomb
SPBE-D single cluster bomb was developed by the NGO "Basalt". This fully self-contained munition that is provided by a dual-mode infrared guidance system, operated in the range of 3-5 µm and 8-14 µm (in RSC-500 SPBE uses a separate command module for guidance).
Each element is equipped with three small parachutes, providing a speed reduction of 15-17 m / s. With a weight of 14.9 kg, SPBE-D has the dimensions 280 x 255 x 186 mm. After the release of the striking element of RBC-500 and release of parachutes performed release IR Coordinator and inclined rectangular wings that provide rotation.
A single 500 kg cluster bomb has 15 homing antitank submunitions equipped with dual-mode infrared coordinators purpose SPBE RBK-500-D is designed to defeat modern tanks and other armored vehicles under the impact of natural and man-made interference. At the same time it may affect up to six tanks. It is used at altitudes 400-5000 m at a speed of 500-1900 km / h.
IR coordinator angle is 30 ° survey scans and the target area at a speed of 6.9 rev / min. After target detection and determination of the point of undermining the warhead via an onboard calculator (approximately 150 m) is carried out goal defeat. Copper ingot diameter of 173 mm and a weight of 1 kg accelerates to a speed of 2000 m / s, can penetrate up to 70 mm of armor at an angle of 30 ° to the normal.
Submunitions SPBE-D is the further development of the munition SPBE also used in the cassette warhead multiple launch rocket systems "Smerch" and cluster bomb RBK-500 SPBE. SPBE program was launched with the aim of creating cheaper weapons than responsive bombs (KAB-500Kr) that are ideal for the destruction of high-value targets such as bridges, command posts, and at the same time too expensive to attack multiple types of armor unit targets.
