DVE-BS Wind Sensor

 





Application:


DVE-BS – wind sensor is part of the 1A40, 1A40-1, 1А33, 1А42 FCS modules. It is designed to measure the transverse component of the relative velocity of the air and transform it into an electrical signal. This device is installed in T-72, Т-80, Т-84 and T-90 tanks.
Operating temperature range: -50°C to +50°C, can operate when air with the dust and when precipitates.

Main characteristics:

Effective air velocity measurement, m/s: ±25
Time for displaying measurements: 2-3 seconds
Time to full operation: 30 seconds
Guaranteed operation hours: 1000 
Weight, kg: 11
Dimensions: 
  • Detector: 398x78x125
  • Connector module: 150x210x78

T-80 rubber flaps - Part 3

Image
Over half a year ago, I promised to write an article about T-80 rubber flaps and their purpose, which would have completed the trifecta article collection: T-80 aerodynamic features and  T-80 MBT engine air filtration and dust prevention systems . This article builds up on the T-80 aerodynamic features topic and will conclude this series.  Unfortunately, I have come across zero primary sources, that directly mention the purpose of these rubber flaps, which makes it difficult to write an article with primary sources. There are 2 disputed arguments on this topic; one argument states that the flaps on the T-80s are meant to redirect airflow and reduce air contaminants like sand and dust from entering the engine. The other argument is that these flaps are used as additional protection to prematurely detonate HEAT warheads. I will discuss this topic by only talking about the presence of the flaps on T-80s. Firstly the rubber skirt, is present on the lower frontal plate of T-80s. I...

"AGAVA" - "AGAVA-2" and its confusing history

Image
When covering Soviet sight technology there are always some interesting designs and approaches to solving an issue. It is a common fact that the Soviet Union in the 1980s-1990s was quite behind in thermal sight technology. Only in the 1990s, but to be specific in 1992, the Soviet Union now Russia started to field small batches of thermal sights on their tanks, primarily T-80Us and some of the early T-90 variants, which just recently entered service. Russia's journey through creating its own domestic thermal sight traces back to 1982.  The 1980s were quite an important time for the 'Krasnogorsk Factory named after S.A Zverev', which is still to date an Optical Engineering and Optoelectronics factory. The factory is primarily known for making domestic Soviet cameras back in the day. However, that's not the only thing that the factory has produced back then.  Close to the mid-1980s, the facility was contracted to develop new thermal sight technology for the Soviet Ministry...

T-90 demonstrator and its uncommon sight

Image
 As previously mentioned in my earlier posts about "AGAVA-2", there was a T-90 variant that did, in fact, mount that sight.  The year is 2000-2002, by that point, Russia made several T-90 variants, including some export variants. Those being: T-90 Obr.1992, T-90K Obr.1994, T-90S Obr.1992, T-90C Variant No.1 Obr.1992, T-90S Obr.1999, T-90SK Obr.1999, T-90S "Bhishma" Obr.2000. The mentioned variants have at some point either been exported to countries in batches, created as proposed export designs or have been sent out for tank trials.  But Russia created another T-90S variant that came with some non-standard equipment. That being a T-90S being shown during a semi-closed demonstration of vehicles back in 2000-2002. The tank featured its standard OEAPS "Shtora-1" but came with an unusual sight that was very rare for early T-90 and T-90S tanks. That being the TO1-PO2RT "AGAVA-2RT" thermal imaging sight. The sight itself had several different upgrade...
