Magistr-SV is a Russian automated fire-control and airspace-reconnaissance module for military air-defense units. Built by NPP Rubin within the Ruselectronics/Rostec structure, it combines optoelectronic, compact radar, remote observation, and electronic-intelligence inputs to coordinate air-defense engagements and connect current or prospective short-range air-defense weapons.
Magistr-SV is described as a command-and-reconnaissance module rather than an interceptor launcher. Rostec identifies external and built-in reconnaissance inputs, while the onboard suite combines an optoelectronic station, a remote optoelectronic observation device, a compact radar detector, and an electronic-intelligence station.
The main station is described as automatically detecting, recognizing, and tracking aerial targets with support from a target-signature database.
Rostec and TASS describe a small radar detector that combines surveillance-radar functions with high-precision coordinate measurement.
Public descriptions emphasize integration with existing and prospective air-defense weapons and coordination of anti-aircraft combat.
Public Russian reporting places Magistr-SV in the same tactical air-defense automation lineage as Barnaul-T rather than describing it as a standalone missile or gun system.
