Pechora (SA-3)Surface/Air System Upgrade ProgramUpgrades for India's Pechora 2A (SA-3 OSA) missiles were
also promoted at Defexpo 2006 by the Russian company Almaz-Antey. Under
the upgrade program the system’s engagement range and kill zone will be
extended (currently 3.5 to 28 km range, 60 – 60,000 feet altitude,
engaging targets with speeds up to 700 m/sec) and efficiency in handling
current technology threats will be increased. Electronic
counter-countermeasures (ECCM) will also be improved by increasing
operating power to 2000 W/MHz. An additional EO/TV tracking channel will
be integrated as a backup. Up to 50% of the analog systems in the
missiles will be replaced by new and more reliable digital systems in
order to improve reliability and performance while decreasing power
consumption. The upgraded system will be capable of detecting and
engaging targets with typical radar cross-sections as small as 0.3
square meters.
