Russia's new air defence system to enter service by 2013


MOSCOW (BNS): Russia’s new ultra short-range mobile air defence system Morfey is likely to be ready for service in 2013, a news report said.

Former chief designer of Almaz-Antei Corporation Igor Ashurbeili told Ria Novosti that the project which has been in development since 2007 is receiving sufficient funding and the system is expected to enter service in 2013.

The new system with a range of five kilometres features a radar with a dome-shape antenna, which provides constant 360-degree tracking of targets, according to the report.

The Morfey will complement the Vityaz, the S-400 and the S-500 air defence systems in the future aerospace defense network to engage targets at ranges from five to 400 kilometers, and at altitudes from five meters to near space, the report added.
