They want to use the technology to modernize existing and develop new video systems for military and civilian purposes.
For the first time in Russia, on-chip photo modules have been created to be used in the guidance systems of high-precision weapons. Information about this was published on the website of the state company Rostec on September 29.
Ruselectronics holding (part of Rostec) announced the development of a series of matrix photomodules based on silicon crystals. It is claimed that they can “see” objects at any time of day and can create both black and white and color images.
Each module is a crystal on which a matrix of photosensitive elements, a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter and a signal generator controlled by a data transfer interface (SPI) are mounted. To obtain a color image, a Bayer RGB filter is applied to the surface of the matrix. The device creates an image with a resolution of 1280×1024 pixels, which allows you to view details in high definition.
New Russian modules are characterized by low power consumption of 60 mV and “seeing” in the range of 400-900 nm; This allows these photodetectors to obtain high-quality images at any time of the day. The manufacturer also claims that the new development can be used for video surveillance and scanning systems, as well as for targeting precision weapons. Technical solutions will be used to modernize existing video systems for military and civilian purposes and to develop new video systems.
Let’s remember, in the second half of September, Rostec announced that it had increased the production of Kinzhal and Iskander missiles by 10 times. According to Bekhan Ozdoev, owner of the Rostec production complex, which controls most of the aggressor country’s arms industry, the enterprises “work at high speed, smoke comes out from all turbines.”
It should be noted that in early February, the media wrote that Russia had begun to simplify the production of high-precision missiles due to a shortage of parts. Russia is forced to simplify production, which allows business managers to report to the Kremlin on the creation of a large number of weapons, but they are much worse than those produced before. Simplification of production concerns primarily high-precision weapons, and as a result they cease to be high-precision.
