The range of the optronic FCS is greater than 15 km, and the reaction time is less than 6 seconds, and it weighs around 110 kg. The reaction time of the missile is less than a second.
Missiles of TD-2000 can be fired simultaneously in pairs, either a pair or two pairs, against a single target, or simultaneously against two different targets, and all missiles can be reloaded within 7 minutes. TD-2000 can fire its missiles from traveling state in less than 5 to 10 minutes. TD-2000 features a built-in-test/diagnostic system which greatly improves its reliability and maintenbility. Specifications:
- Operating temperature: - 40 to 50 Celsius
- Mean time between failure: > 100 hours
- Mean time between catastrophic failure: > 250 hours
- Mean time to repair: < 0.5 hour
