The 9A317 is the Transporter Erector Launcher And Radar (TELAR) of the Buk-M2 (SA-17 Grizzly) air defense system. It is a fully autonomous combat vehicle capable of independently detecting, tracking, illuminating, and engaging air targets. SPECIFICATIONS Missiles: 4x 9M317 on open rail launchers Radar: Integrated phased-array fire control radar (roof-mounted) Simultaneous Engagements: 4 targets Target Tracking: 24 targets Chassis: GM-569 tracked Crew: 4 OPERATIONAL CONCEPT In Type A fire sections, the 9A317 TELAR operates with its own roof-mounted radar plus one 9A316 launcher vehicle. Unlike the separate 9S36 mast radar vehicle, the TELAR's radar is at vehicle height — it trades low-altitude detection range for faster reaction time and full autonomy.
