Chapter 848: Visual Augmentation System
There is no way not to be quiet in the command and control room on the Rush, there is no way, it is really a light transport aircraft of a large country in the East is too incredible, quickly descending in altitude, and then ...... And then...... It just fell, without even a pause in between.
What's more, even if one plane falls, all five fluttering planes fall, although Valenio and the others are not there, but they are still so shocked that they can't say a word through the screen.
......
Valenio was speechless, but Zheng Quanli, who was on the shooting range island, did not stop his mouth at the moment the plane landed, without him, just because such a complex command and coordination required him to take care of it as comprehensively as possible, especially this kind of short take-off and landing operation of night fixed-wing aircraft without support, and a slight mistake may cause a serious accident.
Therefore, from the Y-15PLUS began to descend to the shooting range island, Zheng Quanli's nerves were tense, until all five Y-15Plus landed, Zheng Quanli's hanging heart relaxed slightly, and immediately used the air-to-ground communication radio to say to Wen Kai, the commander of the air formation and the last Y-15plus pilot who landed on the shooting range island: "Yes, it is better than the usual training." ”
Wen Kai, who had already parked the plane, heard Zheng Quanli's praise from the earphones, and couldn't help but smile on his calm face: "If it doesn't fly well with the addition of EVS, then my transport plane for so many years can be regarded as in vain." ”
"You can't say that, no matter how good the equipment is, it depends on the people at the critical moment. ”
"People are important, the performance of the equipment is equally important, to be honest, I'll report when I go back this time, all the fifteen Y-15plus in our hands are equipped with EVS, a good thing, don't worry that you don't need to come forward this time, I will go to the Air Force headquarters to apply myself, and if they don't approve it, I will roll up the cover and rely on their office building. ”
Listening to Wen Kai's words, Zheng Quanli couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but Wen Kai was very serious, he knew very well that with the promotion of Zheng Quanli's position, Zheng Quanli had to avoid suspicion in the products involving Tengfei Group.
After all, Zheng Quanli and Zhuang Jianye are close brothers-in-law, if Zheng Quanli blindly favors Tengfei Group, it will inevitably make people think more.
Let's take this modification of the EVS system for the Y-15plus.
Zheng Quanli really followed the regular procedures at a glance, but when the order fell on the head of Tengfei Group, the rumors about Zheng Quanli immediately flooded.
So much so that the original plan to modify 15 Y-15Plus had to be cut to five.
This is also no way, if the Tengfei Group is free of charge, there is nothing, but this time the modification of the Airborne Forces Y-15PLUS is not free, but each aircraft is charged a modification fee of 3 million yuan.
This makes many people have mixed feelings.
Other aviation factories pointing to the orders of the troops are naturally red-eyed, and the EVS system of the Takeoff Group, which is bound to jump up and down, is not worth the price.
The troops who are accustomed to living a hard life are also unhappy, 3 million yuan is only installed with one piece of equipment, how to see how it is not cost-effective, you must know that although the army funds at this time have been eased compared with the period of the 80s, but they are still living tightly, what is the reason for this 3 million yuan, what kind of aircraft is modified, how long has it been procured, and it is not that it cannot fly, why spend so much money on modification, it is not a waste.
This is the most opposed voice of Chinese Kai, in his opinion, rather than spending this money to modify, it is better to increase the number of Yun 15plus, five modification fees of 15 million yuan is enough to buy a Yun 15plus, even if you do not buy Yun 15plus to buy turboprop power Yun 15.
After all, increasing the size of the fleet has very big benefits for the mobility of the Airborne Forces.
So Wen Kai really didn't know what Zheng Quanli thought at that time, was it really the same as the rumors, in order to give money to his brother-in-law and rush to sales performance, the old Zheng who had been in the army for half his life was crazy?
It wasn't until Wen Kai personally drove the Yun 15plus with the EVS system that he was questioned, what rumors, all of them were regarded as farts by Wen Kai, no way, the EVS system is too easy to use, and it is easy to use the modified Yun 15plus without fear of the dark night, so that it can implement 24-hour uninterrupted take-off and landing transportation tasks at the humble field airport that lacks support facilities.
This is much more powerful for the Airborne Forces, which have always been shouldered with rapid reaction capabilities, than buying a few more aircraft.
You must know that before this, the airborne troops at best had the ability to take off and land at large airports at night, and field airfields were not even imaginable, but in modern warfare, not all combat areas will be supported by large airfields with complete infrastructure.
In many areas, not to mention airports, it would be good to have a flat gravel road, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the desert areas of the border region, and the vast grasslands in the north.
When encountering such conditions, don't you fight?
Of course not, but the limitations of equipment have greatly limited the ability of the airborne troops to move at night, and night has always been a favorite natural camouflage for soldiers.
It is precisely for this reason that the United States and the Soviet Union paid special attention to the construction of night combat systems during the Cold War, especially in the development of equipment, and generally equipped with night vision systems.
China has lagged behind a little in this respect, so much so that the upside-down imagination of the airborne troops' individual training emphasizing night combat skills and hardware equipment cannot keep up with this has greatly affected the concept of building the airborne troops in all-weather operations and all-region operations.
It is different after the installation of the EVS system, the Y-15plus has truly achieved all-weather take-off and landing capabilities at field airfields, and the multi-mission combat capability of the Airborne Forces has increased by 28% immediately.
This is not something that can be achieved by simply adding one or two aircraft.
As for the EVS system that Tengfei Group's friends said was not worth the price, Wen Kai also inquired afterwards, and it was purely a malicious slander by those unscrupulous merchants.
There are only two countries in the world that can produce EVS systems, one is the United States, and the other is France.
Because of this, the cheapest price of EVS system in the international market is more than 4 million US dollars, compared with similar products of Tengfei Group, which not only broke the monopoly of foreign countries, but also the price is only 3 million yuan.
Therefore, when Wen Kai encountered a friend of Tengfei Group on different occasions who criticized Tengfei Group's products as too expensive, he would unceremoniously say: "Then you have the ability to localize foreign monopoly products, if not, can we stop bragging?"
always made the other party speechless and hid his face.
Of course, friends know that their blind beeping is futile, but now they really don't have any tricks with Tengfei Group except for their mouths, if nothing else, just take the 3 million EVS system as an example.
The Chinese name of the system is called visual augmentation system, which is not simply a telescope or microscope is called visual augmentation, but through complex technical means, so that passenger aircraft, transport aircraft and even fighter jets fly at night, pilots can still "see" the airport runway or ground objects as clearly as daytime A modern imaging technology.
Just look at this complicated explanation, why only the United States and France have mastered this technology, and other friends want to do it, the question is that they have that accumulation and foundation?
