UVZ TO DISPLAY 8 NEW PRODUCTS AT RAE 2013

UVZ Corporation presented 8 new products in its extensive line of special equipment at the 9th International Exhibition of Arms, Military Equipment and Ammunition “Russia Arms Expo 2013” that opened in Nizhny Tagil. Being the general coordinator of the salon, UVZ has the largest full-scale display that involves all the special equipment manufacturers of the corporation at the exhibition.

The centrepiece of the new products is Tank Support Fighting Vehicle BMPT-72 also known as Terminator-2 - a breakthrough modernization of the T-72 tank. Presentation of the unique product will take place on the second day of the exhibition. In general, URALVAGONZAVOD Corporation today puts emphasis on modernization of T-72 tank and there are two new designs among the UVZ products - modernized T-72 tanks.

The first one is the modernized T-72 tank with a set of protection equipment for allowing survival of the tank and the crew in urban combat against extensively used anti-tank means including radio-controlled mines and explosive devices. As part of the demonstration program it will use a special kit designed for action in the city to clear away road blocks. Moreover, the tank commander can fire from a protected machine gun.

The second product is the modernized tank T-72 with "Arena-E" active protection system. The active protection system "Arena-E" is designed to protect the tank from anti-tank weapons – LAW rockets, high-explosive antitank projectiles and anti-tank guided missiles including overfly top attack weapons.

One of the most interesting innovations is the model of a heavy wheeled infantry fighting vehicle “ATOM” with a 57-mm automatic turret. It is a joint design of UVZ (OJSC “Central Scientific Research Institute “Burevestnik”) and the French Renault Trucks Defense – one of the world’s leading companies in manufacturing a wide range of tactical vehicles, wheeled armoured vehicles and power units for armoured vehicles. ATOM is designed for troop transportation, shooting from inside the vehicle and dismounted shooters fire support. There is a weapon station equipped with 57-mm automatic turret for location and strike of light armour and soft-target, troops, air threats like UAV, aircrafts and helicopters both at day and at night, on the move or from a stationary position.

For the first time a special fire truck was presented. It was developed by OJSC “Design Office OF Transport Mechanical Engineering” (located in Omsk) using systems of T-72 and T-80 tanks. Its purpose is fire-fighting, accident rescue operations and preventive measures at arsenals, bases and rocket and ammunition warehouses of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. It can clear passages to points of outbreak of fire, make fire breaks in case of forest fires. This machine is unique because it allows to upgrade old armoured vehicles, and for its technical capabilities. The volume of its water tank is 25 cubic meters - almost a full reservoir. The machine can operate without the crew - in a remote control mode.

Another new product of "Uralvagonzavod" Corporation is a two-section crawler-transporter DT30P1 (OJSC “Engineering Company “Knight” located in Ishimbay) with an exceptional lifting capacity of 30 tons. There is also a 152-mm self-propelled howitzer 2S19M2 (OJSC “Ural Transport Machinery Plant” (URALTRANSMASH) located in Yekaterinburg) with improved tactical and technical performance, increased firing speed of up to 10 rounds per minute, reduced deployment time at the firing position, and also a floating transporter PTS-4 (OJSC “Design Office OF Transport Mechanical Engineering” (located in Omsk) .

Besides the new products Research and Production Corporation "Uralvagonzavod" displays designs that have proven themselves on the world stage.

RUSSIA ARMS EXPO 2013: STEPPING INTO THE FUTURE

Research and Production Corporation “URALVAGONZAVOD” became the general coordinator of the 9th International Exhibition of Arms, Military Equipment and Ammunition “Russia Arms Expo 2013”, which has opened in Nizhny Tagil.

Nizhny Tagil hosts armament exhibitions since 1999, and this year the military salon has reached a new level. Innovation is everywhere: the identity of the exhibition, new and renovated pavilions and presentation centres and new kind of demonstration program.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin inaugurated the exhibition.

“Up until now the Nizhny Tagil exhibition was considered to be an event on a federal scale. Today for the first time the number of foreign participants brings it to a new level. This year Russia hosted many exhibitions of this kind, still RAE is a major international forum. The unique training range gives the exhibition its main distinction from others: besides static display, it allows to show the power of Russian equipment and the development of the domestic defence industry in action”, he said.

Due to the Nizhny Tagil training range features, the demonstration was spectacular, outstanding and as close to real combat. The new program united the show with the demonstration of firing capabilities, special features and mobility of equipment in real combat scenes. This all was supported by unmanned aircrafts and aviation.

All elements of the program are shown in the screens. Viewers can watch the vehicles control systems in action and see the situation on the battlefield through tactical maps. Attached cameras allowed watching the crew inside the vehicles. For those who are unable to visit the exhibition, there is a live webcast in 3D.

The new concept of the RAE exhibition also involves an extended and more efficient business program.

On the first day a plenary discussion "Innovation and quality: a formula for success in the global arms market" was held. It was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Sverdlovsk Region Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev, CEO of OJSC “Research and Production Corporation “URALVAGONZAVOD” Oleg Sienko and others.

In discussion Oleg Sienko said that there is intense competition at the global arms market today. UVZ Corporation is seeking to promote high-quality and more advanced products on the Russian and world arms markets, including within cooperation ties. In increasing competition the corporation will develop cooperation with the world's leading companies.

As a real life example Oleg Sienko mentioned cooperation of UVZ with the French Renault Trucks Defense. They have combined their know-how to develop a prototype infantry combat vehicle of the future – Atom. Each company has contributed 50%. The French party designed transmission, engine and fire control system. UVZ Corporation has developed weapons system. Instead of 30-mm machine guns it got 57-mm automatic gun that can increase the firing distance up to 16 kilometres.

“I’m positive that in the future this vehicle will be in demand and able to meet competition in the global arms market”, Oleg Sienko said.

One more example is cooperation with another French company Sagem in terms of optical systems (thermal viewers) development. We are considering building a joint venture.

Also as part of the business program OJSC “Research and Production Corporation “URALVAGONZAVOD” and Siemens have signed a protocol of intentions concerning the special conditions for purchase and use of software by Uralvagonzavod Corporation and its subsidiaries.

RAE 2013: TERMINATOR-2 — WORLD PREMIERE

A world premiere will take place on the first day of the 9th International Exhibition of Arms, Military Equipment and Ammunition — Russia Arms EXPO 2013 (RAE 2013) on September 26, 2013.

Research and Production Corporation URALVAGONZAVOD will present its latest design — Tank Support Fighting Vehicle BMPT-72. BMPT-72 is a breakthrough modernization of the world-famous URALVAGONZAVOD T-72 tank. When designing BMPT-72, engineers relied on experience of creation and exploitation of BMPT, also known as Terminator for its gun power.

Just as its basic model, Terminator-2 is a multipurpose tank and infantry fire support vehicle that can operate in any combat mode, complicated geographic area, light conditions and against any enemy. Still, it has some new features: upgraded fire-control system and turret weapon station protection. The breakthrough vehicle is built on the platform of the most widely manufactured and used T-72 tank.

Given that, the key advantage that BMPT-72 gives to all the counties that operate T-72 tanks, is that they can promptly and at minimum cost upgrade their armies to ultra-modern level, enhance its capacity, mobility, protection and armament without purchasing new high cost machines. Terminator-2 is to premiere in a multimedia lightshow at a 900 m2 presentation centre built especially for that purpose. Foreign visitors and official delegation are expected to attend the presentation.
