The system was developed together with the Belarusian company ''Tekhnosoyuzproekt''.

==Design== The main role of the Bastion-P is to engage surface ships including carrier battle groups, convoys, and landing craft. A typical battery is composed of 1-2 command and control vehicles based on the Kamaz 43101 6×6 truck, one support vehicle, four launcher vehicles based on the MZKT-7930 8×8 chassis each operated by a 3-man crew and holding two missiles, and four loader vehicles; launcher vehicles can be located up to {{convert|25|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from the C2 vehicles. Upon halting, missiles can be readied for firing within five minutes, and both fired in 2-5 second intervals. The mobile launcher can remain on active standby over a period of 3–5 days, or up to 30 days when accompanied by a combat duty support vehicle.<ref name="mt">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20160710085935if_/http://www.military-today.com/missiles/bastion_p.htm Bastion-P Coastal defense missile system]}}</ref><ref name="weaponsystems">[http://weaponsystems.net/weaponsystem/DD06%20-%203K55%20Bastion%20(SS-C-5%20Stooge).html 3K55 Bastion] - Weaponsystems.net</ref>

The missile used by the Bastion-P is the P-800 Oniks, a supersonic anti-ship missile with a {{convert|200-250|kg|lb|abbr=on}} warhead. They are fired vertically from the launchers using a solid-fuel rocket booster for initial acceleration, then use a liquid-fuel ramjet for sustained cruising at Mach 2.5. The Oniks/Yakhont's maximum range varies at {{convert|120-300|km|mi nmi|abbr=on}} using a low-low or hi-low flight trajectory respectively. Using GLONASS at the initial flight stage and active radar guidance when approaching a target, the missile can fly to an altitude of {{convert|14000|m|ft|abbr=on}} before descending to sea-skimming altitude of 5&nbsp;m at the final stage, useful up to sea state 7.<ref name="mt"/><ref name="weaponsystems"/>

The Predel-E over-the-horizon radar system was designed to support the Bastion missile system.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Novichkov |first=Nikolai |date=September 2021 |title=IMDS 2021: Showcasing the Main Trends in Russian Shipbuilding & Naval Systems |pages=61–63 |work=Maritime Security & Defence |url=https://euro-sd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/MSD_4_2021_WEB.pdf}}</ref>
