THE COASTAL MOBILE LAUNCHER - MOL
MOL is a Mobile Coastal Missile Launching System designed and produced for use with RBS15 missiles. It is high-automatized system which enables very fast reacton to target appeareance. MOL uses PCE produced FOBOS Missile Launching Control System, installed with other necessary technical subsystems on the TATRA vehicle.
Missile launching control system is a real-time computing system used for launching parameters calculation. It is connected with pitch, roll, bearing and weather sensor. Graphical user interface enables very effective interaction with system, presentation of tactical situation, graphical presentation of the missile flight trajectory, functional on-line supervision, simulation and built-in testing. Missile launching is possible in single-unit and group (salvo) mode.
Complete project documentation, installation and testing is done by the PCE company. Hydraulic and other specific mechanical subsystems are produced by specialised cooperants with PCE supervision.
