Complete information on P-1000 Vulcan - SS-N-12 mod.2 SANDBOX

Anti-ship cruise missile. Develop a set of NGOs launched "Engineering" (formerly - OKB-52) Chelomei (since 1984 Chief Designer - G.A.Efremov) of the Decree of the USSR on May 17, 1979 Rocket is a further development of the missile complex P-500 starting with the preservation of equipment and a marked increase in the range of action through the use of a new starting of the engine, increasing the volume of fuel sustainer stage, reducing the weight of booking and other improvements. 

The first test-fired from the ground stand SM-49 Nenoksa - December 3, 1982 ( 10 hours 55 minutes) - start failure - starting block is not separated from the rocket, the rocket broke apart and fell by 8 flight. The second launch - April 9, 1983 - the same result by 9 seconds of flight. As a result of analysis of failed tests found that the failures were the fault of the control system of the rocket. The third start was successful (probably in June 1983). Tests with SSGN pr.675MKV launched December 22, 1983 Joint testing of the complex P-1000 and SSGN pr.675MKV - 1985, the first launch in joint trials - 2 missile salvo (two missiles hit the target in spite of the failure of the system maintain the pressure in the instrument compartment and operator error). 

The second launch through joint tests - November 8, 1985 - trehraketny volley, one rocket was the failure of the radar sighting device (radar), two other rockets poryazili goal. As a result, aircraft design, and joint tests performed 18 launches of which 11 are found to be successful launches. Test management and test equipment completed in 1985. In December 1985 signed the act of completion of joint testing with the recommendation of the complex P-1000 "Vulcan" to the adoption with carrying out routine tests in 1986 to carry out routine tests allocated 8 rockets planned to spend 4 missile salvo and 4 single missile launch different programs. 

One of the single starts (24 April 1986) was held with the starting rocket engine complex of P-500 on the program management of the complex missile P-500. Start was successful. 18 and 19 June 1986 held two successful start-up to check noise immunity missiles.Chetyrehraketny volley was held July 4, 1986 (three missiles equipped with telemetry equipment on the grounds that the equipment at the site could not receive information from 4 missiles). The rocket is not equipped with a telemetry system, lost control on the approach to the target, the cause has not been established. In 1986, the creators of the complex have been awarded the Prize of the USSR Lenenskoy (source ). Complex "Volcano" adopted by 18 December 1987 Series production of missiles complex "Volcano" was conducted on the "Arrow" in Orenburg. Rocket made ​​from 1985 to 1992

Control and guidance - inertial missile control with correction according to the radar homing - developed by the Central Research Institute "Granit", chief designer of the control system A.V.Chizhov, on-board radio-technical equipment - B.L.Godlinik, autopilot - AN Kuchin, FDC - V.A.Nikoltsev and E.A.Gorbachev. Breeding goals probably either automatically or by remote control principle (the operator of the ship according to radar missiles), or a combination. The rocket used made ​​on the basis of a new element to the onboard computer autopilot A21 B9 (other than the missiles of F-500), which is coupled with a new starter motor and other (probably) control algorithm for the starting phase of the trajectory, which increased range. Significantly improved noise immunity radar seeker by improving on-board digital computer. 


Ship and aircraft (placed on the rocket) appliances automated control system, as well as test equipment and control complex re-created. The control system launch, depending on the configuration starting the engine can be operated according to the program start-up and flight ASM P-500 "Basalt" or program " Volcano. " The missile guidance algorithms used by logic select the main goal in the order ships. After receiving the coordinates of the target, a missile with radar switched off (radio-locating visor) decreased by low altitude and to fly to the point of target coordinates. At the point of origin objectives include radar (radio-location finder), and selects and target acquisition. Analyze the size of the goals and objectives of the removal of the point target coordinates. Lift excess agloritm allows you to choose the biggest target in the order ships. 

In order to overcome missile defense and air defense rocket provided protivozenitny maneuvering at low altitude and the dispersal of missiles in a salvo at the front (to be preceded by a gathering with a group of rockets) before turning on the radar at the final stage. The rocket is set Station setting jamming protection system 4B-89 "Bumblebee", developed since 1965 in the laboratory of the department №25 CRI "Granite" under the guidance and R.T.Tkacheva Yu.A.Romanova. 

Instrument compartment on a rocket made ​​airtight and equipped with sitemy maintain pressure (test starts for the shore stand in Nenoksa since March 25, 1984 Decree of the USSR in October 1987 instructed to carry out work to improve the accuracy of missiles of "Volcano" with working precision laser guidance channel and the creation of missiles "Volcano LK" . Work on the pulsed laser guidance channel conducted CRI "Granite" under the leadership of S.A.Sharova. system to recognize the geometric parameters of the target ship, and provide instructions on the correct trajectory of a missile to hit the most vulnerable sections of the target ship. System Tests were conducted in Sevastopol for passing ships and aircraft flying laboratory IL-18. 

Development of laser guidance channel as a missile guidance systems started up in 1987 chief designer of onboard equipment missiles - V.G.Senkov, chief designer of the laser channel - S.N.Sharov. The launches of missiles equipped with homing serial laser channel planned for 1987-1989 gg Channel laser equipment was placed in the diffuser inlet. Technological missile for ground tests of the system has passed bench tests. On the test site in North Nenoksa it planned to make 5 missile launches from the ground stand (on dr.dannym test allocated 9 missiles). But probably in 1988-1989, the development of the theme of "Volcano LC" was discontinued. The beam diameter - ok.10 m Recognition range - 12-15 km
