Agriculture (engineering system of remote mining)

2020: Start of deliveries to the Russian troops

On December 24, 2020 it became known of the beginning of deliveries to the Russian troops of the Agriculture engineering system of remote mining (ESRM) developed by the defense enterprise of Rostec — NPO SPLAV of A.N. Ganichev.

According to the press service of state corporation, the principle of work of new technology it is similar to the reactive system of volley fire, and the key difference is that in Agriculture the ammunition with the engine on solid fuel filled with the min. different types is used to mining. The equipment allows to register on the electronic card of coordinate of their falling and to transfer data to a higher control link.

A system is intended for installation of minefields using programmable ammunition. The mines used in such shells are capable to self-destruct or be deactivated in preset time.

The remote method of installation of mine obstacles has several advantages. In particular, it is distinguished by the speed of setting of minefields, especially in hardly accessible areas. At the same time capability of mines to be deactivated or self-destruct in preset time provides safe and fast mine clearing after cessation of hostilities — the industrial director of a complex of arms of Rostec Bekhan Ozdoyev explained.

Structurally Agriculture is founded on the eight-wheel armored chassis of "KamAZ" on which two packets on 25 rockets equipped with mines are mounted. The transport and charging machine and containers with rockets also is composition. As noted Rostec, ISDM allows to solve quickly problems of mining with observance of international agreements about prohibition or restriction of use of mines, mines traps and other devices.

For the first time Agriculture was shown on a parade in honor of the 75 anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War at Red Square which took place on June 24, 2020.^[1]
