The Kortik (Russian: Кортик, "dirk") close-in weapon system (CIWS) is a modern naval air defence gun-missile system deployed by the Russian Navy. Its export version is known as Kashtan (Russian: Каштан, English: Chestnut), with the NATO designation CADS-N-1 Kashtan.[8]
The Kortik is found on the Russian aircraft carrier
The Kortik will be replaced in Russian Navy service by the Pantsir-M CIWS, which uses similar rotary cannons but different missile and radar systems.[9]
Design
The weapon is a modular system consisting of a command module and typically two combat modules, as in the case of the two
The guns used in the Kortik are the GSh-30K six-barrel 30 mm rotary cannon. Individually, each GSh-30K has a higher rate of fire compared to guns used by other CIWS such as the
The missiles used in the Kortik are the 9M311, which are also used on the
The combination of the missiles and guns provides more comprehensive protection when compared to other
Variants
- Kashtan-M: improved variant with:
- Salvo capability
- Dedicated targeting station
- Two AO-18KD cannons with higher muzzle velocity (range improved from 4 to 5 km)
- Improved missile range and engagement altitude (from 8 to 10 km for range and from 3.5 to 6 km altitude)
- Decreased system's reaction time from 6.8 to 5.7 seconds
- Sensor modularity
- Lower weight
