Chapter 741: Photoelectric Pod!

Hongdu Group has developed a 500-kilogram Tianlong-1 gliding guidance for this strong five G, which is a pair of foldable wings added on the basis of aviation zhà dàn, and the flight direction control is installed at the tail, with a bomb weight of 500 kg and a gliding flight range of 75 kilometers.

Gliding guidance zhà dàn according to the hybrid guidance method, the highest precision guidance method is naturally the laser guidance mode, because Huaxing Group has been in the laser research and development for nearly ten years, and these years has been in the research and development of lidar and laser communication, especially after mastering the gallium nitride technology, it is in the forefront of the world in laser technology, but also the cost of laser irradiator, laser communication encoder, laser transceiver, laser rangefinder has been greatly reduced.

The laser irradiation of the photoelectric pod can reach a distance of 35 kilometers at an altitude of 12,000 kilometers, so the strong 5G can carry out precision bombing within 35 kilometers of the bombing target defense area, and the accuracy can reach 3 meters.

The accuracy of laser guidance is the highest at present, although Yang Jie wants to equip these laser active radar guidance with laser active radar, so that the laser radar developed by Huaxing Group is still too expensive, even if the accuracy can reach less than 3 meters and the accuracy is 5 meters?

This time, the photoelectric pod equipped with the strong five G will naturally use the new technology of Huaxing Group in recent years.

The biggest feature of the pod is that it uses a large-area infrared array to detect targets from a farther distance, and the detection distance of the pod to ground targets can reach more than 40 kilometers, and ideally it can exceed 60 kilometers.

In addition, it is equipped with an ultra-high-resolution image sensor and optical lens, which can provide a detection range of more than 80 kilometers for targets with a diameter of 5 meters.

Such an optoelectronic pod can not only target and assess combat damage with high resolution during the day and sunny days, but also work when the forward-looking infrared does not work at dusk and dawn, and the optoelectronic pod is also equipped with an ultra-high frequency phased array radar communication equipment, with a detection range of 400 kilometers, and has the ability to see through the enemy under the cover, and has a high-capacity signal transmission capability.

According to this system, Hongdu Group has developed wireless television guidance methods, inertial guidance, infrared guidance, and such guidance methods allow the Qiang-5 to bomb targets within a maximum gliding flight range of 75 kilometers, but the accuracy is lower than that of laser guidance.

At the same time, Hongdu Group is also developing a stealth version of the long-range air-to-air missile, which will use a small turbofan engine of Yonghan Aviation Technology Company, with an effective range of 400 kilometers, and guidance mechanisms include mid-range inertial navigation, Beidou global positioning, terminal infrared image recognition, ground laser guidance, etc.

This stealth air-to-surface missile is called Thunderbolt within the Hongdu Group Company, designed to reach 5 meters, with a total weight of 1200 kilograms and a warhead weighing 500 kilograms.

Now the design drawings of this Thunderbolt stealth air-to-surface missile have come out, and Huake Aviation Technology Company is now conducting trial production.

Zhang Kelong was also pleasantly surprised when he heard this, "The progress of the practical application of your stealth technology is really fast enough. ”

"Hehe, this is mainly because Hongdu Group has accumulated a large number of aviation technology and a group of technical teams for decades, and now is also the time to bear fruit. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

"Don't be modest, it's also remarkable that your Huaxing Group has transformed its top civilian technology into military use over the years. ”

Zhang Kelong said to Yang Jie with a smile.

Of course, he knew that the key to using these accurate weapons was on the latest Blue Shield series of optoelectronic pods provided by Yonghan Aviation Technology Company, so he naturally asked about the price.

The company now offers a price of $1.5 million for such a set of pods, but there are also simplified versions and old models, with the lowest price at more than $200,000, and now the annual purchase volume of the military is about 300 sets.

In fact, it is not only Yonghan Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. that provides photoelectric pods, but also gliding guidance zhà dàn developed by Hongdu Group Co., Ltd. with different weights equipped with Loongson Semiconductor's early Ryzen processors, photodetectors, encoders, baseband chips, gPu and other hardware and software products.

For example, the Tianlong-1 gliding guidance zhà dàn can be launched from any relevant course of the bombing target, and can even be launched when the aircraft flies away from the target, as long as it is within the predetermined launch area at the time of launch, the hit rate is quite high.

Because before reaching the bombing target, the pre-set parameters can guide the glide to fly straight, turn and cross the valley according to the set stop point and altitude, and the specific direction and coordinates of the target are transmitted to the zhà dàn through the computer keyboard of the pilot's cockpit before the zhà dàn is thrown.

If the strong five Gs carrying zhà dàn cannot reach the predetermined launch area due to the attack of enemy aircraft or the threat from the ground, the pilot can also drop zhà dàn and let it define itself and fly directly to the target.

Of course, as long as the aircraft is within the annular area of the intended target, such a flight can be carried out according to a predetermined target profile, and if the aircraft is launched outside the annular area, its actual flight path will depend on a number of variable factors.

The strong 5G on-board computer uses the technology of Aihua Technology's small server, which is quite powerful, and the School of Artificial Intelligence of Meixihu University has also developed a set of automatically generated zhà dàn flight paths, which are extremely intelligent.

With these technologies, this Tianlong 1 suddenly changed from an ordinary aviation system to an intelligent precision guidance system, but the material cost of these systems is no more than 2,000 US dollars, and the price of such a set adds up to 10,000 US dollars.

In the world war, the average error of bomber bombing was 1600 meters, and it was necessary to dispatch 4500 bombers and throw 9000 bombs to destroy a single target, while the hit rate of bombs in the Vietnam War increased a lot, but it still needed to dispatch nearly 100 planes and throw 200 bombs to destroy 1 target.

Now, after these European and American countries adopt guided bombing, the accuracy of bombing has reached the level of 1 to 6 levels of circumferential probability tolerance, and only one or two planes need to be dispatched to drop one or two bombs to achieve the purpose of attack.

Now the cost of ordinary aviation is basically about a few thousand to 10,000 US dollars, and the price of Tianlong 1 gliding intelligent guidance is more than 20,000 US dollars, compared with the previous bombing of a target needs to throw dozens of zhà dàn to achieve the destruction target, and now only one to two can achieve the damage effect, such a set of devices can be said to be very cheap.

And because the strong five G has such a photoelectric pod, and this pod comes with a fuel cell power supply, even other old models of fighters do not need to be overhauled, only need to install a supporting display system, and the weapon control system software can be used after upgrading, even those old aircraft can carry out precision strikes after adding a photoelectric pod.

Now the firing range of ground air defense missiles has reached 20 kilometers, so that the ground field air defense system Blue Shield photoelectric pod can be completely dropped outside the defense area, which greatly improves the survivability of the carrier aircraft, such as the strong five G after the addition of the pod, it can completely kill the threatening air defense missiles outside the defense area, and then carry out all kinds of bombing and attacks on the ground troops that have lost the support of the air defense network.

The cooperation of such a set of optoelectronic pods and precision guidance has instantly increased the combat effectiveness of the strong five G to more than dozens of times!
