MOSCOW, August 20. /ITAR-TASS/. A new trajectory measurement system for strategic missile launches is being created for Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN), a Defense Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.

“The advanced system, equipped with a new radar station, is to undergo tests at the Kapustin Yar firing range (Astrakhan region in southern Russia). It will work in the unified digital system of measuring data collection and take measurements along the whole missile flight trajectory, including in the areas that have no ground control and engineering facilities,” the ministry spokesman for the RVSN Dmitry Andreyev told ITAR-TASS.

The system will determine the flight trajectory parameters of tested intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM).

At present, the Kama-N radar station and equipment that uses global satellite systems’ signals take trajectory measurements at the range.
