Chapter 1126: Next-Gen Rifle!
At present, these foreign infrared R&D institutions have a big technical gap with Huaxing Group because of the long-term research and development of refrigerated infrared arrays.
Eagle Sauce's domestic R&D institutions can develop a 4 million pixel infrared array, and are also developing a 16 million pixel extra-large array, mainly for astronomical and low background applications and reconnaissance satellites.
Moreover, Eagle Sauce is the world's leader in these refrigeration infrared array materials and different infrared bands, and Huaxing Group and domestic R&D institutions have no way to compete in these aspects, after all, they have been developing in this area for fifty or sixty years, which is no joke.
Yang Jie naturally will not compete with Eagle Sauce's domestic R&D institutions and companies in these aspects, but wholeheartedly develops uncooled infrared arrays, and has gone to the front in this regard.
As for why Huaxing Group wants to develop low-illumination digital night vision devices, it is mainly the business needs of its subsidiaries, and the night vision system of the car developed by Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company is also closely focused on the car night vision system being developed by Toyota Motor Group.
The main goal of the system was not only to scan the road ahead to avoid potential hazards and improve driving safety, but also to monitor the driver and capture signals that the driver was drowsy or drunk driving.
Many car manufacturers have applied infrared chips in top cars, but this system can only display black and white pictures, and the details displayed on the black and white pictures are usually difficult to detect, and this system is too dependent on heat and temperature, which in some cases will lead to unrealistic images and unsatisfactory results, which may cause major safety accidents.
Therefore, Zhongyuan Automobile Group Co., Ltd. also hopes that the head office can provide low-light full-color cameras, and use image enhancement circuits to enhance weak targets under starlight-level lighting conditions, so that the photosensitive elements can present clear images.
Huaxing infrared imaging technology department and Loongson Semiconductor Co., Ltd. are also developing a new generation of low-light full-color camera for Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company, in the absence of any light source, the infrared light source provides enough imaging infrared light through active irradiation, and uses infrared anti-reflection technology to make the photosensitive original can present a clear image.
Huaxing Group has done the best in the application of gallium nitride materials, and gallium nitride-based high electron mobility transistors as gate control devices have the characteristics of high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas at heterojunction and sensitivity to surface state, and the combination of gallium nitride-based high electron gas at gate position and photosensitive functional film is an important research direction of the technical team in the field of photodetectors.
The technical team introduced light-sensitive materials into the gate electrode and proposed a new image sensor structure, which achieved very good results by testing the detection of visible light, infrared light and ultraviolet light.
Of course, this chip is still being tested, but this unique image sensor is the best in terms of the test data and results obtained so far, and has greatly surpassed the expensive charge-coupled image sensor chips.
The prototype prepared by using this image sensor chip can still present clear and beautiful images even in the environment without any light source, which solves the shortcomings of the traditional infrared camera such as ungaudy color reproduction, uneven imaging, white face and low definition, and is a very good camera.
However, this image sensor is still in a variety of tests, but also exposed some shortcomings, and is still constantly improving, at this stage it is mainly in the stage of technology research and development, and it is not used on a large scale before the technology matures, and it is one of the black technologies within Huaxing Group Company, which is rarely disclosed to the outside world.
Huaxing Group is now engaged in research and development, making up for shortcomings, constantly pioneering and innovating in the leading technical field, and continuing to consolidate its technical strength in all aspects.
At this time, Field also noticed that Huaxing Defense Group was also showing new individual weapons and ammunition and supporting firearms, the caliber and structure of this ammunition are obviously not the 5.8 caliber currently used in China, but the new 6.7×51 mm ammunition.
"Why are you developing ammunition and guns of this calibre? This is the next generation of firearms that you have developed for your military?"
Field looked at Yang Jie and asked.
"No, this is a new type of ammunition and matching firearms developed by ourselves, mainly for technical verification. ”
Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.
Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaxing Defense Group Company, has been conducting a lot of research and development on weapons and ammunition over the years, and has developed a high-performance high-pressure high-ignition rate propellant, and has developed a firearm suitable for this new type of 5.8×42mm bullet by using new materials and processes, which solves the problem of short barrel and explosive powder slag and long barrel of general-purpose machine gun.
At present, after the acquisition of the individual firearms business of the Military Industry Group Corporation, the Huaxing Defense Group Company has improved the firearm materials and processes, and the production of new bullets and weapons and firearms has also solved the problems that have plagued the troops before.
Of course, Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Company will not be satisfied with this, as early as a few years ago, it began to continuously develop new caliber weapons and ammunition, through a large number of experimental tests to find ammunition that can propel lighter small-caliber projectiles with more propellant to achieve better ballistic performance.
This kind of research and development is a spontaneous behavior within the enterprise of Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Company, after all, only after developing the best ammunition can the best firearms be designed and manufactured.
Through a large number of simulation calculations and experimental tests, Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Company has also developed this 6.7×51mm ammunition and designed a rifle that matches this ammunition.
Through a large number of tests by test gun test personnel, the most prominent feature of this ammunition is that the supersonic flight distance reaches thousands of meters, the trajectory is very low, and the correction values such as advance amount, wind deviation, and ballistic altitude can be reduced, and the hitting accuracy is very amazing, and because the trajectory is stable, the wear and tear on the barrel is very small.
Because of the use of improved propellants, the kinetic energy of this bullet is about 3300 joules, which is almost twice that of the domestic ammunition in service, and the projectile is also optimized design, with great lethality and better armor-piercing performance.
In fact, the ammunition and rifle developed by Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Company have also been tested by domestic special forces, and the test results are very good, the hit rate at a distance of 1000 meters is very high, the effective range is increased by nearly half, the wind deviation is reduced by one-third, and the recoil is smaller.
The designed rifle also has some design problems in the process of use, when it is not a fatal flaw, and now Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Company is also re-improving the design.
In terms of small-caliber ammunition, the problems faced by the domestic army are more severe than those of the Eagle Sauce army, which can get the best weapons in the world in terms of individual weapons and equipment, while the country is likely to directly face the enemy with very advanced equipment.
The military leadership did not have a very clear understanding of this aspect before, but Huaxing Group has done a very good job in this regard over the years, but it has made the high-level realize the importance of this aspect, and it is also interested in the ammunition and firearms of this caliber developed by Zhongyuan Precision Machinery Company, and it is also proposed to develop the next generation of rifles, and the ammunition and firearms developed by Huaxing Defense Group Company have been included in the key projects.
Now that Field asks about this, Yang Jie naturally won't admit it.
