�We have developed a naval variant of the [AU-220M] 57 mm artillery station on the base of the Derivatsiya-PVO program. The specialists of the [Russian] Navy [VMF] positively evaluate its potential integration onto small surface combatants, including small ships and boats,� said Zakamennyh.
According to him, the baseline Derivatsiya-PVO 57 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) will be converted into a robotized AA asset. �[High] level of automation and firing, remote control from automated workseats in the vehicle�s hull, and a cutting-edge optical-electronic station have almost brought the combat vehicle of the Derivatsiya-PVO system to the level of a robotized artillery system,� said Zakamennyh. Such a system will integrate combat vehicles, ground and unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicles, fire-control units, and remote firing platforms. �We should modify the combat vehicle for operations in unmanned mode, create protected command-and-control lines, and update software. There is a large piece of work to be done, including the development of new-generation indigenous electronics,� said Zakamennyh. According to him, the Derivatsiya-PVO SPAAG has already entered the final stage of its trials.
