To throw in my two pennies, I've already suggested to Chris that the HIVUSAN is probably the S-300F Fort system given the date of the file (1978) which had entered trials aboard the modified Kara-class Azov the previous year.Given that it would only be fitted to large ships, it is possible that it means High Value Unit SA-N i.e. a SAM for high value units. Presumably it's a brief stand-in acronym until SA-N-6 'Grumble' was allocated?
