 Kh-25MP - Airborne Modular Tactical Guided Missile
The Kh-25MP airborne anti-radiation missile equipped with a passive radar homing head is designed to engage continuous-wave and pulsed radars making part of medium-range air defence missile systems as well as small-calibre anti-aircraft artillery systems. There are two versionsof the homing head: 1VP and 2VP. The missile can be launched in flight within carrier's pitch angles from - 20 to + 20.
The Kh-25MP missile makes part of weapon systems of Russian combat aircraft. It also can be adapted for employment from foreign-made aircraft.
Delivery Set
The Kh-25MP missile delivery set includes the following missile versions:
Kh-25MP combat missile
Kh-25MUP combat training missile
Kh-25MP-UD functional training missile
Kh-25MP-UR sectional training missile
Besides the above, the delivery set includes:
- Operational documentation set;
- One-year group SPTA set;
- Single SPTA set.
The missile operation is supported by the AKPA equipment set and ground support equipment set.
The operational services and works offered as follows:
- personnel training and technical assistance in maintaining and repairing of the system;
- assistance in adapting the missile to different carriers;
- designer supervision, guarantee and post-guarantee servicing;
- activities on extending missile's assigned service life, missile upgrading, etc.
Upgrading options
The Kh-25MP missile modularity opens wide opportunities for its modernisation. Besides the missile with the anti-radiation homing head, there are several ungrading options as following below:
- development of a modular multipurpose tactical missile based on the onboard control system integrating inertial navigation system and active radar seeker;
- development of a modular tactical missile based on the onboard control system integrating inertial navigation system and receivers of the space navigation systme and gound-based differential correction station. Typical targets for this missile can be stationary or restricted-mobility objects with known geographical coordinates.
