SOVIET TARGET BARGE ACTIVITY AT FEODOSIYA NAVAL BASE &
SHIP REPAIR YARD AND SEVERODVINSK NAVAL BASE WEST (TSR)
INTRODUCTION
25X1
25X1
1. (TSR) The Soviet Union uses target barges in support of a variety of research,
development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) roles for gunnery and missile test firings.
This report describes the physical characteristics of target barges generally seen in the
Soviet Union. Specifically, it discusses barges at Feodosiya Naval Base and Ship Repair
Yard and Severodvinsk Naval Base West facilities 25X1
associated with missile RDT&E in the Black and White Sea areas. This report also contains
a chronology of target barge activity at these facilities. The term target barge as used here is
a generic term and includes both floating targets (YGTN), which are not self propelled, and
target, service craft and ships (YAGT and AGT), which are self propelled. Technically the
YAGTs and AGTs are not barges but for the sake of simplicity they will be referred to as
barges in this report.
SUMMARY
2. (TSR) Target barges at most naval installations in the Soviet Union are used for
routine crew training and the maintenance of an operationally capable fleet, but barges at
Feodosiya and Severodvinsk are used primarily for supporting the development and testing
of new or modified naval missiles. A historical study of imagery of these barges indicates
Feodosiya has had the capability to test missiles with infrared sensors since 1966. Moreover,
the recent appearance of two additional heat-generating target barges at Feodosiya suggests
that preparations are underway for testing a new or modified missile with an infrared hom-
ing guidance system (heat-seeking missile). A chronology of the movement of the barges at
both facilities is provided in Tables 1 and 2.
DISCUSSION
3. (TSR) Target barges are in all four Soviet fleets and in the Caspian Sea Flotilla.
The barges are used to support both RDT&E and operational gunnery and missile test fir-
ings. To provide the required support, various types of barges are used and can be divided
into two broad categories-towed and self propelled. Towed target barges may be modified
merchant ships or may be constructed from the keel up as target barges. Modified merchant
ships are used mainly in the Caspian Sea and in the Pacific Fleet as targets for air-to-surface
missiles (ASMs). They are usually permanently moored or beached and routinely sustain
damage from missile impacts. Barges that are built from the keel up appear in one of two
hull forms-catamaran or single hull. Catamarans vary in length from 25 to 69 meters and

carry metal screens and radar reflectors to provide radar signatures for fire control radars
(Figure 1). Single-hulled barges (Figure 2) vary in length from 92 to 110 meters. Single-
hulled barges carry not only screens and radar reflectors but sometimes heat generators.
Barges equipped with heat generators serve as targets for missiles with heat-seeking
guidance system.
4. (TSR) Most self-propelled target barges are modified P-6 (YAGT) and Osa (AGT)
hulls. The P-6 hulls are older carft with all of the armament removed, whereas the Osa hulls
(Figure 3) are constructed as targets. Both vessels carry radar reflectors, but only the Osa
carries heat generators. When present at a base or complex, the self'-propelled barges are
usually berthed near the patrol boats where service facilities and parts are available and not
with the towed targets. In addition to the P-6 and Osa hulls, obsolete T-301 and M-40
minesweepers have also been converted to self-propelled targets.
Feodosiya
5. (TSR) Towed target barges have been in use at Feodosiya (Figure 4) since at least
1964, and self-propelled target barges have been in use there since at least 1966. The towed
barges include 25-, 38-, and 68-meter catamarans and two 105-meter, single-hulled barges.
The catamarans are usually equipped with the customary metal screens and radar reflec-
tors. The single-hulled barges carry not only screens and reflectors but heat generators as
well. Heat generators were first seen on the 105-meter barges in July 1966, indicating that
the Soviets have had the capability to test heat-seeking missiles in the Feodosiya area since
that time.
6. (TSR) Two types of self-propelled target barges also have been seen at Feodosiya.
One type, based on refitted P-6 hulls, was used between July 1966 and April 1976. It carried
a circular array of radar reflectors called SHEET NEST. In March 1977 the other type of
self-propelled target barge was seen for the first time. It was based on an Osa hull and was
equipped with radar reflectors and two heat generators. It was seen at Feodosiya until
November 1977. Also arriving at the facility in March 1977 was a new 105-meter towed
target barge. It was initially seen at the operational area and was subsequently transferred
to the outfitting quay. It remained there until completed in October 1977 when it was seen
with a newly installed heat generator. Its completion coincided with the departure of the
Osa-type target barge. The appearance of these two types of target barges equipped wit h
heat generators and the subsequent activity surrounding their movements suggest the
following: 1) the Soviets are involved in a test program of a new or modified missile with an
infrared sensor; 2) the Osa target may have been involved in the early static testing of the
seeker (this could have been accomplished by suspending the missile from the boom at
Feodosiya Probable Naval Weapons R&D Facility and running the target

by the facility at various distances, angles, and speeds); and 3) the departure of the Osa
target and the completion of the 105-meter barge may have represented the end of the
preliminary work and the beginning of the flight-test phase.
7. (TSR) Target barge activity is listed in Table 1. The table separates the base into
four areas: the YGTN operational area, the YGTN repair/outfitting area, the YGTN con-
struction area, and the YAGT/AGT operational area.
8. (TSR) Target barges at Severodvinsk Naval Base West (Figure 5) probably sup ort
both sea-based testing of missile systems tested at Nenoksa Naval Missile Test Center 25X1
and crew firings involving new and overhauled surface ships and submarines. 25X1
Barges at everodvinsk are generally seen at the holding area or the outfitting quay. Oc-
casionally they appear at Severodvinsk Shi and Ya ry Island and at 25X1
Arkhangelsk Naval Operating Base 25X1
9. (TSR) Since March 1966 only towed barges have been seen at Severodvinsk and
they have included 39-, 50-, 51-, and 69-meter catamarans an 110-meter single- 25X1
hulled barges. Each of the three smaller catamarans was one of a kind and has not been seen
at Severodvinsk for a number of years. The 69-, and 110-meter barges continue to 25X1
supt)ort est activity in the White Sea. An example of such support was seen 25X1
when the Kiev-class CVSG (guided-missile, antisubmarine-warfare aircraft 2bAl
carrier) Kiev (newly transferred to the area), was observed off Severodvinsk with blast
marks aft of its SS-N-12 missile launch tubes. On the same day a 69-meter catamaran was
seen damaged and separated into two sections. The appearance of the barge and the ship
su ests that the Kiev had successfully fired the SS-N-12 against the barge 25X1
a TUB BRICK electronic countermeasures (ECM) van was observed in a 25X1
mechanized landing craft at Severodvinsk Naval Base West, suggesting that it, too, may
have been involved in the test exercise and that the SS-N-12 firing was conducted under ac-
tive ECM conditions.
10. (TSR) Other significant activity involving target barges was observed in late 1977.
During September a barge carrying a SIDE NET radar, used in the SS-NX-13 missile test
program, was transferred from Mys Mishukov near the Rosta Naval Base and Ship Repair
Yard to Severodvinsk. The following month a second barge was transferred 25X1
from the same area to Severodvinsk. By January 1978 both barges had returned to Rosta.
The reason for this activity is not clear. One explanation is that they were sent to Severod-
vinsk to participate in a test program that was either cancelled or postponed.
11. (TSR) Table 2 provides a chronology of activity at Severodvinsk and Arkhangelsk
