The artillery production enterprise mentioned above is actually from the B507 factory in Luozhou, Henan Province, which is a medium-sized military enterprise engaged in artillery research and production, and he relies on the medium-sized industrial base in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so the artillery development and production work of the B507 factory was once in the forefront of the country, and even most of the artillery equipment in service in our army is from this factory. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAlthough the country of this factory is very brilliant, there have been many problems since the reform and opening up of the elite. First of all, that is, with the shift in the direction of national strategic development, from national defense and security, to economic development, to the current large-scale disarmament, the largest and most important users in the past are basically no longer engaged in arms procurement, especially heavy weapons and equipment like theirs.

On the other hand, with the development of offensive technology, their previous technology can no longer keep up with the development of suitable artillery technology. For example, in the new artillery technology and theoretical concepts, artillery is no longer pursuing this large caliber, and it is not that the more calibers the better, as early as a few years ago, the old American army had begun to eliminate artillery equipment of more than 155 mm. And the Su* here is also gradually simplifying the caliber of artillery, and their maximum caliber has also slipped down to two hundred and three millimeters.

In the theory of the most cutting-edge artillery development in the future world, experts from various countries generally agree that the caliber of artillery should not be greater than 155 mm, and if it is too large, it will seriously affect mobility, especially after the continuous improvement and development of artillery radar and reconnaissance equipment, it is more and more required that artillery must have super mobility in order to avoid the enemy's reconnaissance and strike. The other is the firing range, especially with the improvement of the new propellant formula, the range of the artillery is getting farther and farther, now a 155 mm caliber artillery, its range can even reach forty or fifty kilometers, which was unimaginable before, and this is not counting the rocket range extender equipped with the artillery, if you use this, then the range of the artillery can reach six or seven kilometers, which is definitely an amazing number.

The third feature is that the accuracy is greatly improved. Everyone knows that there are several factors that affect the firing range of the artillery, and in addition to this natural factor, the artillery itself also determines the accuracy of this one. Among the influencing factors of the artillery itself, in addition to the stable performance of the propellant, there is also this high-precision processing technology, especially the rifling of the artillery of the team members. In the past, this was taken out by experienced masters who controlled the machine tools, which was time-consuming and laborious, and although the accuracy has been controlled at very accurate, there are still errors. Then these errors will have an impact on the trajectory of the shell when it occurs, and thus affect the accuracy. Now, with the use of high-precision CNC machine tools, the work of rifling this artillery has become relatively simple. Moreover, through computer control, the error of this processing is greatly reduced, which also greatly improves the accuracy of the artillery.

And there is another point, that is, with the development of science and technology, a new artillery ammunition technology was born, that is, precision-guided munitions. Or precision-guided artillery shells. Precision-guided munitions are a general term for missiles, guided artillery shells, and guided bombs that use high-precision guidance systems and have a high probability of direct hits. Conventional high-explosive warheads are usually used to strike point targets such as tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, ships, radars, command and control communication centers, bridges and weapons depots. Precision-guided munitions have outstanding advantages, they hit well

High accuracy, effective destruction of point targets. Moreover, the lethal power is high, and the combat effectiveness ratio is high. There are many types and models, and the combat range is wide. Non-contact strikes can be carried out to reduce the loss of living forces. However, it has high requirements for the reconnaissance and positioning of the target, and its electronic system is easily damaged by electronic interference, and is easily affected by the adverse battlefield environment, and its technology is complex, and it is difficult to provide support and maintenance. Although there are many shortcomings, precision-guided weapons have become the main weapons of high-tech warfare, and they have had a crucial impact on the strategy and tactics of modern operations, the comparison of forces and weapons, and even the outcome of wars.

The guided artillery shell is a kind of high-tech artillery shell, which enables indirect aiming and killing weapons such as artillery to have the ability to accurately hit point targets or mobile armored targets at long distances. The reason why the accuracy of guided projectiles is so high is that it mainly uses laser semi-active guidance, and some use infrared/laser composite guidance. Because the artillery shells are equipped with guidance devices, they can find targets on their own, thus greatly improving their accuracy and the first hit rate, and the dispersion error of the shells can even reach less than 1 meter, and the first hit rate can reach more than 90 percent. Officially, because of this improvement, the way the artillery fights has changed to a great extent. Therefore, the outdated artillery design and production process of the Spring Festival can no longer meet the needs of our army or other international users for new artillery.

The last one is lightweight. In the past, due to the limitation of this technology and materials, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the use of artillery, the thickness or diameter of the barrel wall of the gun or the structure of the gun body of the gun will be increased in exchange for its own solidity. You must know that in the process of firing artillery, the high temperature and high pressure generated can directly act on the chamber, if the strength of the chamber is not enough, then there may be a danger of exploding. The huge recoil force of the shell launch also directly affects this gun mount, if the strength is not reached, then the entire gun may fall apart under the huge impact force. For this reason, if the material is not up to the mark, then the weight can only be sacrificed to ensure its strength. However, as a result, the weight of the artillery itself increased, which did not dare to have a great impact on transportation or use. First of all, the weight of the gun increases, the more limited the tools used to carry it, and because of the weight, it is limited in use, think about the soft soil, or some places with a large slope, it will not be able to go. Moreover, because of the increase in weight, it becomes difficult to operate, especially in the rapid spreading, rapid aiming, rapid shooting, and rapid closing and retreat, which is extremely inconvenient, so that it is easy to be counterattacked by the enemy and affect the survivability of the artillery.

Under the appearance of new materials and new technologies, the weight of artillery can be greatly reduced, and even with the increase of alloy materials, the total amount of some artillery pieces is even only half of the previous artillery of the same caliber, or even lower. This means that lighter artillery can be towed using a variety of vehicles, such as off-road vehicles, trucks, and even cars, as well as this airplane, which used to be able to transport only two or three guns per transport aircraft, but now one can even transport seven or eight guns. Moreover, its practicability has also increased substantially, and in the past, the artillery could not go to areas with complex terrain, but now it can be suspended by air, airdrop, or helicopter and transported to various places, making the scope of the artillery's range more extensive. It is precisely because of these changes and developments that it is beneficial to hit back at those experts and scholars who preach that artillery is outdated and useless. With its high cost performance, simplicity and wide use, strong adaptability, easy to use and other advantages, it was still active in warfare in later generations. (To be continued.) )
