Modernization of the 2K12 KUB system
RETIA, a.s. offers the modernization of the KUB system, including the 1S91 (SURN) radar vehicle, the 2P25 (SPU) launchers and the replacement of 3M9 missiles, including a new reloading vehicle.
2K12 KUB / KVADRAT (SA-6) is a mobile, short to medium range anti-aircraft system. The system’s core consists of a radar vehicle and four launchers The SA-6 system is still an effective weapon, but its effective use is severely limited by the equipment’s aging electronics. The system’s original design and technology make it very demanding on operation, maintenance and repairs.
The recognized capabilities of the KUB system, especially vehicle mobility and missile performance, suffer from outdated radar electronics and not being connected to a modern fire command and control system. Currently, the original missiles’ lifespan is also coming to an end.
Modernization extends the system’s lifespan, increases combat performance and reduces operator burden.
The integrated logistics support is designed to enable efficient use of the modernized system throughout its lifespan.

The advantages of modernization
The modernization of the SURN vehicle begins with an overhaul of the chassis and body. The original equipment is subsequently replaced by new subsystems and connecting cabling. The new blocks are installed in the modified, original frames. This extensive modernization allows for system-level features to be optimized and improvements in performance and reliability.
The consoles of the radar operator and the fire control commander are designed to reduce the load on the crew when conducting combat operations. Operators carry out decision-making and management tasks, while routine tasks are performed by the software. All parts contain integrated diagnostic tools (BITE) for easy maintenance and repairs. All BITE reports are collected and presented on the commander’s console.
