Chapter 81: Experiments

It stands to reason that the development of a weapon system is a very complicated matter, and it took the Americans at least ten years to study laser-guided bombs.

From the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies, and then after three generations of improvements, it shone in the Gulf War.

However, how long did it take Hu Wenhai to develop this set of laser guidance? I am afraid it will only take a week.

Is that weird? Not really. Hu Wenhai's approach should be said to be a common phenomenon in China's military industry in the coming decades.

That is, to replace military quality with industrial quality, to use mature commercial solutions without foundation, to use civilian products if there is no military product, and to use civilian production line if there is no military production line, and there is no money......

Oh, there's no way without money.

At present, all the components of this infrared guidance kit are imported from the United States, and the integrated scheme and software also use the ideas and algorithms of later industrial computers. Not only Hu Wenhai, if the time goes back 20 years, grasp a manufacturer that produces laser rangefinders, and change the software to explode the sea of laser-guided weapons.

But of course, in China in the 80s, this is out-and-out high-tech.

The test of the entire laser guidance head was carried out for two days, and Hu Wenhai initially optimized the guidance law of the missile guidance, and the gyroscope of the seeker was also operating normally.

"Mr. Hu, are we really going to throw this bomb down?" Bai Shi looked at the results of the past two days with some regret, and he spent a lot of thought in order to stuff the entire set of seekers into the body of this bomb.

It's like seeing the dominoes that I have hand-placed, and I am really reluctant to think that I am about to push them down.

"There is a CCD, two single-chip microcomputers, and an analog-to-digital converter...... Baishi pinched his teeth and shook his head: "The cost is less than a thousand, can the troops afford it?"

"A thousand dollars is just a thousand dollars, not to mention its tactical value, just the cost of conventional firepower that it can replace, and how many large-caliber howitzer shells can be bought for a thousand yuan?"

Hu Wenhai didn't raise his head, carried out the final procedural confirmation, and said disappreciatively: "You have to remember that the use of precision-guided weapons is more economical in terms of cost, not more expenditure." ”

As he spoke, the command line on the Macintosh computer screen stopped scrolling and returned the word "right", indicating that the entire system was ready.

Hu Wenhai pulled the data cable on the serial port from the drone's body from the back of the Macintosh computer, and then clapped his hands, and Deng Renliang and Bai Rong under Baishi ran over, and began to refuel the drone with ease and make the final preparations before the flight.

In the operation shed next to the runway, an aviation school instructor is ready to familiarize himself with the operation station that is different from the simulated aircraft.

In the distance, at a distance of two or three hundred meters from the runway, a trench had been dug and a breastwork had been erected to ensure that only the head could be exposed when standing inside. In the winter weather conditions of the Northeast, it is not easy to dig such a pit. However, it is also necessary for the safety of personnel during weapons testing.

No, Hu Shiwu and the old man were already squatting in it with great interest at this time. Hu Wenhai personally supervised Deng Renliang and Bai Rong to do the final inspection before the drone took off, picked up the phone and applied to the airport for take-off permit.

Seeing that the drone was gradually flying in the direction of the airport, until it was no longer distinguishable in the sky, Hu Wenhai took Baishi and the three of them and ran back to the trench.

"Oh, where is this plane going to fly to drop bombs? I think it's near our factory, why did you lose it after running so far?" Bai Quanyigan watched the plane fly away, but he didn't know where it was going to fly, let alone the detailed plan for the entire live bomb delivery, and couldn't help but say strange things again.

"Haha, if you think that missile is you, can you still lose it?" Wang Deyang has made up for the basic knowledge of laser guidance in the past two days, and now he is the old man who is most concerned about this test: "People are high-tech, and you can't lose the missile if you lose it." Besides, if you don't run farther, how can you show the power of our laser guidance?"

"You're not right! This is a long way to test inertial guidance and that -- oh, the performance of standoff weapons has nothing to do with laser guidance!"

"Why doesn't it matter, isn't it a test of the laser guidance head's ability to find the target in the end?"

......

Hu Wenhai looked at this group of old men helplessly, and really didn't know how to evaluate them. Say they like to talk about it, but it's not, this should be a way for this small team to communicate, but it's more alternative.

And don't look at the fact that they like to laugh at each other and raise the bar, but in this seemingly boring behavior, the old men seem to be able to find some problems or help them integrate knowledge.

It can only be said that the way each team works is different, but after decades of cooperation, they have already established a special incentive mechanism to ensure the enthusiasm of each member.

This made Hu Wenhai feel a little emotional, in fact, we do not lack advanced management methods. In the end, the Western management style developed to the end, perhaps no different from this group of old men squatting here to do homework. It's just that people can form theories and replicate this success, and many times we are superstitious that this kind of Western theory and success can be easily transplanted to Chinese society.

An obvious problem is that the ISO system of many enterprises is actually coping with certification. Some companies are really managed according to the ISO system, but they are not as good as the "local methods" of some Chinese bosses. A lot of time is wasted in the official document travel of documents, but the efficiency is not as high as our boss personally going down to see the problem. Is the result "soil" of our boss, or is the ISO system not suitable for our reality?

But with the advent of the post-Ford manufacturing era, the fact is that many Western factories have begun to repeat some seemingly "earthy" management methods. The assembly line has ebbed and the collaborative assembly has risen, emphasizing teamwork and not emphasizing the responsibilities of each party......

Therefore, the crux of the problem is to look at everyone's actual situation. Taizu said well, without investigation, there is no right to speak.

Hu Wenhai listened to the group of old men bragging and farting there, and paid attention to a telephone line that was pulled over at hand. After about ten minutes, the phone on the ground suddenly rang, and the scene, which was originally slightly noisy, suddenly became smelly of fallen leaves.

"Hey, I'm Hu Wenhai. ”

"Oh, has the control antenna been switched to the airport?

Hu Wenhai waved his fist vigorously, this is the first experiment made today, that is, remote transfer control. The drone flies in the direction of the airport, enters the control range of the airport antenna before it exceeds the control range of the operation console, and then the airport forwards the control signal and video to the console to continue the operation.

The success of this experiment, don't look like it just pulled an antenna to the airport, but in fact it is a big step in the direction of solving the problem of communication relay drones!

And with the communication relay UAV, it is not far from the battlefield information networking. Figuratively speaking, as long as a wireless base station is thrown into the sky, it is equivalent to stepping into the door of information warfare with one foot.

However, this experiment is not the protagonist of today, after all, with Hu Wenhai's retelling, soon everyone in the trench has understood that the drone has flown to a place full ten kilometers away from the runway of the take-off point at this time.

Ahem, well, with a launch range of only ten kilometers, it seems that it cannot be called an out-of-zone weapon. JSOW in the world does not have a range of 100 kilometers, and they are really embarrassed to call themselves weapons outside the defense zone.

However, Mr. Hu's toy only has a range of ten kilometers is also helpless, on the one hand, the carrier aircraft is an immature drone after all, and on the other hand, he still uses a gyroscope at the level of industrial control.

That's right, there is no high-precision gyroscope to guarantee the course, and if it is released 100 kilometers away, this bomb will not necessarily fly anywhere.

But don't worry, at least in terms of military gyroscope technology, the gap between China and the world is not large, but Hu Wenhai's new technology factory can't buy military grade if it wants to......

With Hu Wenhai's order, the drone that had corrected its course ten kilometers away received the order from the operation console, and suddenly the fuselage was light, and the bomb hidden in its stomach fell out.

The glider brush that was originally hidden in the belly of the bomb popped out, and the four tail rudders of the bullet tail also stood up. Under the action of the glider, the olive-shaped bomb did not plunge headlong into the ground, but flew forward like a sparrow that had eaten up.

At first, the speed of the bomb was not too fast, but as its altitude continued to decrease, the potential energy was converted into kinetic energy, and soon the fat bomb swept the sky of Xiucheng Airport, and continued to fly in the direction of the Xinke factory in the established direction.

"Lao Bai, turn on the laser target designator!" Hu Wenhai heard the radar monitoring information sent from the airport, and hurriedly ordered Baishi to remotely turn on the laser target designator placed on the runway.

The near-infrared laser, invisible to the human eye, shone on the chalk-drawn target on the wall at the end of the runway, and no one knew whether the aerial bomb, which had fallen to an altitude of 3,000 meters, would be able to detect the scattering of the ground laser.

After a while, suddenly the people hiding in the trench heard a hissing sound, the sound was small, but soon the voice became sharp!

Immediately afterwards, the sharp-eyed Bai Rong suddenly pointed in a direction on the horizon, opened her mouth, and shouted loudly: "Quick, look!"
