Pilica (V-SHORAD – Very SHOrt-RANge), a very short-range anti-aircraft system, is used for point air defense of important objects with unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters, tactical aircraft and cruise missiles. Manufacturer – Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów.

The battery of the anti-aircraft complex has six installations, each of which has the following characteristics: 2,000 rounds per minute, an effective firing range with high-explosive and armor-piercing charges of 3 km and launchers for Piorun or Grom anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 5.5 and 6.5 km, respectively. . Each complex has its own optical-electronic control system with a TV camera, a KMW-1 Teja thermal imager and a laser rangefinder.

In addition to anti-aircraft guns, the single complex Jelcz 442.32 includes 11 vehicles on a 4×4 chassis: artillery tractors (with which you can shoot), a command post, two transport vehicles and vehicles with ammunition. IAI-based SRL-97 radio communication station and ELM-2106NG ADSR-3D tactical air defense radar produced by Israel Aerospace Industries are used.

The missile-artillery system is suitable for the protection of military units, airfields, command points or areas of logistics bases.

Weapon control is fully automated using the Dyga computerized guidance system operating in semi-automatic mode: automatic guidance and destruction upon command of the operator. The targeting system is integrated with the tracking and IFF system, which can confuse weapons and cease fire when a target is identified as “own” or an allied aircraft.

If the computer or other system is damaged, it is possible to remotely control the PSR-A Pilica. In such cases, the security device receives data from the SR-1 sight keyboard and autonomously controls the missile and artillery systems.
