missile technology, guidance, targeting systems
Acronym in a list of technical specifications, appears with "tochnost' navedenia". This acronym has no other referents in the text. Several others are included, for example "raspolagaemaya peregruzka" - not sure about that one either but it could mean something like usable weight for a load (excess weight not used?) Does anyone have any idea what is meant?
