Chapter 782 The Contribution of Tamara Radar
“Okay, your navy actually installed ballistic missiles!” The Air Force was immediately surprised.
“Yes, you are still very good, but how do you ignite this missile in the air? Do you have experience with it?”
"These are still being explored. Anyway, you can't ignite it while hanging on the wing. Even if the wing root is strong enough, you can't operate it like this." Wu Shengli said: "Throw the missile down first and then ignite it and fly. But not yet. Test, I don’t know if it will work.”
Lao Maozi hung the air-launched Dagger missile on the aircraft. There are only two types of aircraft that can use it. One is the MiG-31, which hangs one directly on the center line of the belly of the aircraft. The other is the Tu-22M, which is usually hung on the wing. After all, the wing box area is the strongest, so two pieces can be hung in this way.
In the hands of the Lao Maozi Navy, the Tu-22M uses three mounting methods, one on each wing box and one on the belly. If the Navy mounts ordinary anti-ship cruise missiles, it will also be mounted in this way, but You still have to be cautious when hanging ballistic missiles.
"Leader Wu, do you have enough technical reserves? When will you test it?" Qin Tao was very interested. He originally planned to trick the navy and air force into showing off the new H-6. Now if they can simultaneously demonstrate the launch of the H-6 air-launched ballistic missile, it would be even more interesting. Exciting.
It is not easy to fly across the ocean, but if you only fly here, you can attack those giants on the sea at any time, which will make you more confident! After all, for a long time, what was being solved was the problem of the first island chain.
Even if there are naval warships, these things sail slowly after all. The aircraft in the sky are different. They fly very fast and can reach the predetermined position at any time to launch an attack, and the combat efficiency is higher.
"We don't know about this yet. We have to ask the specific R&D personnel." Wu Shengli said: "Also, it's okay if we test-fire secretly. If we test-fire publicly, I'm afraid it will cause a bigger reaction, so we have to be cautious. "
“What’s the point? We just don’t call it a ballistic missile. Can’t we just call it a super-fast anti-ship missile?”
It is an anti-ship missile, and it is faster than ordinary supersonic anti-ship missiles, so it is better to just call it a super-high-speed anti-ship missile.
No matter what the situation, Qin Tao can always come up with a solution to the problem. Everyone feels fresh when they hear the idea he invented.
"Mr. Qin, how come you have such a brain? All kinds of problems are not a problem for you." Leader Liu sighed: "If our air force wants to show off its sword this time, I am afraid it will be slightly inferior. We don't have any superpowers." We only have cruise missiles for high-speed anti-ship missiles, so we modified the pylon and hung the cruise missiles in the belly bomb bay."
Large bombers all have belly bomb bays, and the H-6 also has one. However, the H-6's belly bomb bay is not convenient to use. Therefore, in the later modifications, the H-6's belly bomb bay was sealed, and the H-6's belly bomb bay was sealed. There is just enough space to store more fuel. As for the H-6's weapons, they are mainly cruise missiles, which can be hung directly on the wing pylons.
The take-off weight of the Tu-22M is 40 to 50 tons greater than that of the H-6. The internal space of the belly bomb bay is larger, and cruise missiles can be mounted inside.
What are the benefits of plug-in? Of course, it can reduce air resistance, but external plug-ins will definitely destroy the aerodynamic shape. The Tu-22M is a supersonic bomber that can carry out low-altitude and high-speed penetration. After plug-in, this ability will be limited.
So, if the bomb bay cannot be put down, hang it outside. If it can be put down, try to put it inside the bomb bay.
The original bomb bay design was only used to mount ordinary iron bombs. In modern warfare, it is becoming more and more difficult to fly to the enemy's head and drop bombs. Launching cruise missiles outside the enemy's defense zone is the right way. , In this way, the bomber's attack range can be rapidly expanded.
If the bomber's combat radius is four to five thousand kilometers, the attack range using cruise missiles can be increased by half! This capability is quite powerful. As a carrier aircraft for cruise missiles, it can take off to the predetermined launch point at any time when needed, and then come back after firing the cruise missiles. It can carry more missiles than the H-6 and is faster than the H-6. , the attack power is much stronger than Hongliu.
Looking at the wars in the 1990s, cruise missiles were the vanguard every time. Of course, the Air Force must also work towards this goal.
The Navy is not idle, and neither is the Air Force. Leader Liu said this, but he is showing off their cruise missiles!
Qin Tao was very emotional. Over the years, both the Navy and the Air Force have felt heavy pressure, and under this pressure, they have worked harder to enhance their strength.
If this is to show the sword to the outside world, the Navy will use Eagle Strike -21, and the Air Force will use Long Sword -10?
By the way, I haven’t participated in this project for a long time. I wonder if it is called Changjian-10?
“Does our air force have mature cruise missiles?” Qin Tao asked.
"Yeah, I have to thank you Mingzhou Group for this." Leader Liu said: "Back then, Lao Ba had a few Tomahawk missiles that did not explode. Your Mingzhou Group worked with Lao Ba on research and development. We originally had the East China Sea The -10 R&D team also came over and worked on this cruise missile together, and used the wreckage as data. We made rapid progress, and now, the Changjian-10 has been born!"
Qin Tao nodded, it was indeed this project: "Why wasn't it displayed at the last Zhuhai Air Show?"
"This is our magic weapon, the Yitian Sword, how can we show it." Leader Liu said: "But if necessary this time, we can also show the H-6K launch of cruise missiles."
“Leader Liu, is it the old bombing of six K, or the new bombing of six K?”
"Of course." Leader Liu nodded: "In the process of our research and development, many subsystems are common and can be equipped. Needless to say, the newly produced Lao Hongliu K, even the previous Lao Hongliu, has been After the upgrade, the Long Sword-10 can also be mounted, and our old equipment can still fight for another thirty years!"
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, three years for the new, three years for the old, and another three for mending. This is our old tradition. It seems that now the navy and air force can use their swords."
"Of course we want to show off our swords, but the key is to see what the superiors want. After all, the superiors have to consider the overall situation."
Qin Tao knew that there was only so much he could do. He could convince the army and the army would report to his superiors. However, the superiors still had to consider multiple aspects, and Qin Tao could not control the superiors' thoughts.
“By the way, that kind of jammer has been sent over. I really didn’t expect that our technical school could develop this kind of equipment.” Leader Wu said: “In the future, our navy...”
In fact, the navy is really not of much use. After all, the navy will be based on fleets in the future. When there are more aircraft carriers, shore-based aviation will also transform into carrier-based aviation. Its activities on the ocean are not fixed, and Jie Dam bombs are mainly aimed at fixed targets on land. For the navy, at most, the base will be threatened.
This kind of equipment is best used for land fixed targets. That is to say, the army, especially the field air defense forces, needs it most.
So, when Leader Wu reached the end of his story, he felt that he could not go on.
"In the future, we must also guard against interference from others." Leader Liu said: "With Beidou navigation, we will gradually rely on this positioning equipment. However, in the future, we may face the threat of interference from others. Once we are interfered with , which also requires fighting without navigation."
Leader Liu's mind turned quickly enough, but this was probably the result of discussions within the Air Force.
The Air Force relies more on navigation equipment. They have to conduct long-range attacks and they also need to drop precision-guided bombs. In these areas, satellite navigation systems will play a major role.
When there was no domestic navigation system, the Air Force had already begun to use GPS navigation. After the introduction of the Su-27 fighter jet, due to the long range of this aircraft, the previous navigation method that relied on landmarks was not easy to use. For a period of time, the Air Force installed GPS receiving terminals on the Su-27 fighter jet. The protruding position of the instrument panel looks very abrupt. Of course, in the later period of self-produced fighters with improved avionics, navigation equipment can be stuffed inside, or even integrated with the avionics system.
With Beidou, the Air Force’s new fighter jets will incorporate Beidou navigation modules, and then use domestic navigation equipment as the mainstay.
In addition to fighter planes, there are also bombs. The Air Force has also modified iron bombs before and installed GPS modules to become precision-guided bombs. Now, it has begun to modify Beidou modules. In the future, it will also face the problem of interference.
If you completely rely on this kind of equipment, it will be difficult to change it in the future. Fortunately, it has not yet become completely dependent.
“Yes, we have to consider the situation of interference. Fortunately, our navy still relies on inertial navigation.” Wu Shengli nodded.
Everyone discussed it again, and this meeting is over.
Although I came here alone, when I left, I left together as a family.
"Taozi, the old leader admires your strategic insight." Wu Shengli communicated with Qin Tao as he walked, while Zhao Ling could only follow behind and act as an audience.
"This is pure nonsense. If you don't have strength, you will be bullied like some countries." Qin Tao said: "Anyone who thinks like this should be punished with treason!"
Wu Shengli was stunned. He didn't expect that his son-in-law would be so extreme?
However, with the existence of these people, I am afraid that the swords of the navy and air force will have to wait for a while.
Qin Tao has this patience.
While fighter planes roared over the heads of innocent people, Zhang Zhong said that the Baidi Space Plane program was officially launched.
“The Baidi Space Plane has begun its first flight. We believe that this aircraft will turn into a messenger of justice and appear where it is needed.” Zhang Zhong said this enthusiastically during the program.
Aerospace aircraft can quickly reach the world, wherever it is needed!
The broadcast of this program immediately caused a sensation. Many media originally judged sourly: Dongfang does not have this ability and this project is deceptive.
But now, there are scenes of engine testing and first flight. Can this still be fake?
Eastern aviation technology has grown from weak to strong and has reached the most advanced field in the world. If countries do not want to be left behind, they must catch up!
"Many powerful countries have begun to announce their aerospace aircraft plans." In the small courtyard of Huilou, Wu Shengli said to Qin Tao: "If this plan can lead them astray and make them spend huge amounts of money on the wrong path, And time is naturally good, but they won’t go all the way to the dark side and then fiddle with it, right?”
"Of course it's impossible. Aerospace planes face many technical problems that cannot be solved in this era." Qin Tao said: "As long as they click on the wrong technology tree, we can make great strides forward."
The most incredible thing about an aerospace plane is the engine. It is not easy to take off from the runway and enter the orbit of outer space. Even if you invest tens of billions or hundreds of billions, there will be no results. By then, Eastern aviation technology will have advanced to the level of outer space. The right direction is developing rapidly.
What is the right path? Just look at the trends of later generations.
Wu Shengli nodded: "Reagan's Star Wars plan made me spend a lot of money on the wrong path. I hope that our plans will also make those countries spend huge amounts of money, and we can develop quickly. "
The two were chatting about this matter when Xu Zhengyang came over.
“Report, Leader Wu, President Qin, victory is over, we are about to obtain the wreckage of the first F-117!”
“Okay!” Wu Shengli became excited instantly: “Well done!”
For more than ten years, stealth machines have been dominating the sky, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone’s heads, making everyone feel heavy.
Eastern has been working hard to find ways to fight against stealth machines. However, theory is theory and practice is practice. Only when it is truly achieved can people feel confident.
A stealth machine? Of course not, there is still a way to shoot it down. The F-117 has been showing off its power on the battlefield for more than ten years, and it is its turn to fall into the dust!
The whole world was shocked.
Under the air attack, the small country looked so pale and powerless. The few MiG-29 fighters were shot down after taking off, leaving only passive ground air defense. Ordinarily, the small country was already a soft persimmon. As a result , actually shot down the F-117!
How did you shoot down the F-117?
The whole world has noticed this, and some people have even begun to wonder: Is the Baidi Space Plane flying over?
The suppressed mood of the local people was finally released. In front of the wreckage of the stealth plane, the locals pulled out a banner: "Sorry, we didn't know you were invisible!" This banner was more like a Like a ruthless mockery, it disgraced the world's best military. At the same time, how exactly this plane was shot down has become the most curious topic for everyone.
"Some people say that this plane was shot down by the Baidi Aerospace Plane. Everyone, I am very sorry to disappoint you. At present, the Baidi Aerospace Plane still uses a conventional engine. It is simply impossible for it to fly outside the atmosphere. It is even less possible to fly to a place thousands of miles away." Zhang Zhong said that the program started again: "Currently, there are many explanations for the results of this victory. Let us introduce them in order. First, the most famous and most likely one is Wu Source Radar.”
Although Zhang Zhong also really wants to introduce Kaishan Missile, it is better not to expose it now. Anyway, they are just a TV program, and what they collect is just ordinary intelligence. He did not interview local officers and soldiers.
“To this end, we invited Mr. Wang, a well-known radar expert in China, to introduce passive radar to us.”
"Hello, everyone, I am Wang Gong." Mr. Wang said: "We know that since the invention of radar, it has used electromagnetic wave reflection technology to emit electromagnetic waves. If it encounters an obstacle and reflects back, then the radar It can be received, thus completing the purpose of detection. This type of radar can be called active radar. In addition to this, there are also passive radars."
"Passive radar, as the name suggests, does not emit radar waves, but only receives radar waves. So, where does this electromagnetic wave come from? It can be emitted by other radar tubes. This is the principle of passive phased array radar. It could be other radio stations, TV stations, etc.”
“Mr. Wang, this sounds a bit new. Can electromagnetic waves from other radio stations, TV stations, etc. be used as signals?” Zhang Zhong asked.
"Yes, our current space is filled with electromagnetic waves everywhere. If we arrange radar antennas to specifically monitor the distribution of this electromagnetic wave, within a certain period of time, it should be distributed in a dynamic balance. However, when there is When an aircraft passes by, it will affect the distribution of electromagnetic waves in space, so that it can be received by this specialized passive radar, which can then be analyzed and ultimately determine the target's location."
"So that's it, because this method doesn't emit electromagnetic waves at all, so all the means that the stealth machine has will be ineffective. It's useless to absorb waves or reflect them in other directions. No wonder the stealth machine can't escape its eyes. However, this technology sounds very new, is there really such a radar?”
“This kind of radar is not common and has never been seen in the East. However, there is an old engineer who has been studying this kind of radar for decades.”
"who?"
"Czech Friedrich Pech, because of this success, he has been called the father of anti-stealth radar by many media." Mr. Wang said: "This old engineer was born in an ordinary family in 1919. During World War II During this period, he began to play a huge role in the electronic field, and later in the radar world of the Red Empire, he was even called a radar genius."
“Wait a minute, Mr. Wang, he was born in 1919. Doesn’t that mean he is eighty years old now?”
“That’s right, at the age of eighty, he will definitely be very pleased to see that his research results have finally come to fruition.” Mr. Wang sighed with emotion.
"Let's talk about it from the Cold War period. In the 1960s, Lao Maozi needed a radar-guided weapon system that could provide long-range early warning. So F. Pech used his talent in the field of radar research and finally developed the world's first A passive surveillance radar, code-named PRP-1 Capache Radar. Unlike any radar in the world, it does not emit electromagnetic waves, but only receives electromagnetic waves, and then reversely traces and tracks these signals. To put it simply, PRP-1 It is just a listener in the dark, so it will not be discovered by any electronic warfare equipment, let alone attacked by anti-radiation missiles."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Wang, we know that it is impossible to accurately see the target distance and other parameters with just one human eye. If this kind of radar is just a listener, I am afraid it only knows that the target is within a certain range and cannot accurately judge it. ?”
"Yes, that's right. Therefore, Fu Peihe quickly developed the second generation passive radar." Mr. Wang and Zhang Zhong sang in harmony. Of course, the content to be broadcast had been discussed in advance.
"This radar is codenamed KRTP-81 Ramona Strategic Electronic Intelligence System, which is called softball in the West. Unlike the first generation radar, it has two receivers, so it can judge the It became even clearer, and Ferpech created a set of electromagnetic signal arrival difference algorithms to improve the accurate positioning of air targets. By the 1980s, this system was finally mature."
"In this way, this set of radars has been developed after decades of evolution. It seems that if you want to study a certain technology, it will not be achieved overnight. It requires concentrated research and even decades of obscure work. , to be able to become a blockbuster."
"Of course." Mr. Wang said: "F-Pech kept up his efforts and continued to improve. Although there were algorithms in the past, manual calculations were still needed. He introduced computers in the improvement, simplifying a large number of algorithms to automatically generate results. The detection and tracking efficiency is greatly improved. This system has also been renamed Tamara Passive Surveillance Radar, which consists of 4 parts: ground radar system, two monitoring stations to send and receive differential signals respectively, central main detection system, and evaluation tracking The control station has evolved from a crude electromagnetic wave detector to a truly modern radar."
“Is this kind of radar the credit for shooting down the F-117?”
“We don’t know this, after all, we are all guessing.”
“Well, one last question, how come the local missile force has this kind of radar?”
