Chapter 378 A New Standard for Avionics in Huaxia!
It is necessary to grasp the work of planning and planning, and the work of scientific research must not be left behind.
On the same day, Jiang Tiegang came to report to him that the four-redundant avionics system jointly developed by the Beijing Avionics Research Institute and the Computer Research Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences had passed the final test and could be mass-produced.
Hearing the news, Yang Weiping immediately put down the work of the Planning Commission, took Ye Xiaoqiao, Jiang Ganggang, Guo Shangyi, and Meng Shouzi into his big red flag special car, and went directly to the Beijing Aviation Institute.
If we want to build a large Chinese air force, if the hardware and software in training cannot keep up, it will basically be empty talk.
Yang Weiping has always been very concerned about and attached great importance to the training system of the Air Force.
As China's independent research and development of CJ6 primary training aircraft, Jianjiao-5 intermediate training aircraft, Jianjiao-6 advanced training aircraft, is still the main training aircraft of the Air Force and aviation schools.
These relatively backward training planes will certainly not be able to meet the needs of Yang Weiping's planned construction of the large air force. To this end, he first gritted his teeth and purchased a batch of Eagle trainers in the UK, and then personally set the technical parameters of the three coaches of K8 junior education, T38A middle school, and Jacques 130 higher education, and drew three views. The K8 initial education was handed over to Nanfei for development, the T38A was developed by Shen Fei, and the Yak 130 was developed by Chengfei. He also emphatically stressed that the development of training aircraft is no less important than the development of fighter planes, and all units must go all out to achieve results at an early date.
In addition to the trainer aircraft, Yang Weiping also set up a special project to develop a flight simulator to increase the opportunity for pilots to practice on the ground.
Whether it's a fighter jet, a trainer, or a flight simulator, avionics systems are a core part.
Avionics systems. JA has been researching since its establishment in 1952. However, it has always followed the Soviet technology, and there is a big gap between it and the current advanced technology in the world.
Before the 60s, countries used discrete avionics system architectures. The electronic devices on the aircraft are independent.
In the early 70s, the U.S. Air Force's Wright Laboratory proposed the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) program, which is a joint avionics structure.
By the late 80s, the U.S. Air Force's Wright Laboratory proposed a plan for the structure of the gem column. That is, the integrated avionics system structure.
The Integrated Avionics Joint Working Group (JIAWG) is the concrete implementation of the Jewel Pillar structure plan, and the U.S. Air Force's F-22 and RAH-66 use the JIAWG structure of the avionics integrated system.
The avionics system is an important system in an aircraft. In the 50s of the 20th century, avionics on aircraft accounted for less than 10% of the total cost of the aircraft.
But after entering the 80s. With the continuous enhancement of aircraft functions, the cost of avionics has risen to 30%~40% of the total cost of aircraft, and the avionics system has also become an important factor in determining the combat effectiveness of aircraft.
The sensor component, including RF and electro-optical, accounts for 63% of the total avionics system cost. If divided from the perspective of aperture and support electronics, the aperture and supporting electronics account for 30% and 38% of the total avionics cost, respectively.
Affordability. It is already a common problem faced by the air forces of all countries in the world.
Yang Da scientist, who is familiar with the development direction of avionics in various countries in the world, will certainly not let China's avionics system still use the most popular and advanced joint avionics structure in this era, he proposed an open integrated system structure scheme for China's avionics researchers, and clearly proposed to use an integrated radio frequency sensor system. Able to reduce the cost and weight of the RF electronics part by up to 50%!
The U.S. Air Force's Wright Laboratory is still continuing to improve the joint avionics structure they have developed, and the Avionics Research Institute of Huaxia Jingcheng Aeronautical Institute has already begun the research and development of the integrated avionics joint working group.
The breakthroughs made by China in the field of microcomputer hardware and software have provided great convenience and technical support for the development of the Joint Working Group on Integrated Avionics.
In the Avionics Research Institute of the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics, which was classified as a military restricted area and heavily guarded, Yang Weiping met Mr. Wu Shuoping, the project leader of the Integrated Avionics Joint Working Group.
Wu Lao, who is already 72 years old, like many veteran experts in China, not only does he practice and strive to do a good job in the research and development of specific projects, but also pays great attention to the formulation of scientific and technological development directions, development strategies, technical approaches, development plans, and plans.
For this top-secret project delivered by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Wu Lao showed unprecedented enthusiasm for work. Because he only learned from the 1533B bus diagram and the four-redundant avionics design diagram handed over to him by Director Yang, he deeply understood how important this project is to realize the take-off of China's aviation industry.
"Old Wu, hard work!" After Yang Weiping changed into a white coat for the laboratory, he and Wu Lao, whose eyes were full of excitement and joy, shook each other's hands together.
"Director Yang, my bad boy has finally lived up to your expectations, this avionics system can be used by our air force!" Wu Lao said with great certainty the results that Yang Weiping wanted to hear the most.
"Great! Old Wu, let's go, take a look!" Yang Weiping nodded excitedly, obviously a little impatient.
Under the guidance of Wu Lao, Yang Weiping and his entourage soon came to a spacious and bright dust-free laboratory.
In the room, there are two one-to-one fighter cockpits.
Seeing the two LCD screens on the left and the right on the operating instrument panel, Yang Weiping basically had a bottom in his heart.
"Director Yang, this avionics system is completely in accordance with your design drawings and adopts an open system structure. Through the modular design and overall system structure, the measurability of this set of avionics is ensured. As if introducing his own beloved children, Wu Lao introduced like a few family treasures:
"Embedded diagnostics/prediction, coupled with selective redundancy, allows for timely and effective fault management. The new standards of the existing electronics industry in our country have been used to the greatest extent. In terms of data linking, a unified network protocol has been developed using optical fiber transmission to simplify synthesis and modification, reduce costs and reorganization, and can also link data with other platforms.
In terms of program, it completely adopts the Chinese code C++ high-level programming language invented in China, and the real-time operating system of all Chinese characters, application interface, graphical interface, and database management system interface are reserved. Due to the open system architecture, there is no need to change the software or hardware of other parts of the system when replacing some components or adding new ones.
In this avionics structure, functions are distributed to common modules, and functions can be added and removed by inserting and removing software modules. Moreover, the functions share resources and have fault-tolerant characteristics, which improves the reliability performance of the system.
With this common core avionics alone, it is easy to meet the requirements of different types. The system uses three sets of apertures connected to a common set of processors, namely, a high-band radio frequency group centered on an active phased array radar, a low-band group for communication and identification functions, and an optoelectronic band group for infrared imaging and missile emission detection.
The most important thing is that our system, compared with the DASI digital avionics information system currently used by the US Air Force, has nearly two-thirds fewer modules! The cost is less than a quarter of that of the United States!"
"Hahaha, Wu Lao, this system has been successfully studied, and we in Huaxia can once again set a new standard for avionics systems formulated by us in the world circles!" Yang Weiping said with a loud smile: "The merit lies in the present generation, and the benefit lies in the future generations! This creative achievement you have achieved will inevitably forever be recorded in the annals of China's aviation development! Wu Lao, I ask the party Central Committee and the central government for your credit!"
"Director Yang, without the 1533B bus diagram and system structure diagram you provided, it would be impossible for us to develop this system out of thin air!" Wu Lao said very kindly: "If you really want to say credit, we are standing on the shoulders of giants, if we can't get it out, won't the party and the country raise us old guys in vain." ”
"Elder Wu, I just provided an idea and an idea. Yang Weiping said very modestly: "Theory must be combined with practice in order to achieve no truth." Without practical testing, my theoretical idea is just a drawing.
In the field of scientific research, there is no shortage of technical theories. However, there are not many technical theories that can be verified in practice and applied in practice to complete industrial production. Therefore, Wu Lao, you deserve this merit!
On behalf of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, I would like to give all the personnel of the entire project team a heavy reward of 1 million yuan! The specific distribution plan will be decided by you, Mr. Wu. In addition, the newly built three-bedroom family building of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will be divided into one set for each person!"
"Long live the Chinese Communist Party!"
"Long live the People's Republic of China!"
"Long live Chief One!"
"Long live Director Yang!"
“……”
The scientific researchers of the project team on the scene cheered with joy.
Wu Lao seemed very calm, and after the other colleagues quieted down, he looked at Yang Weiping and said solemnly: "Director Yang, the country's rewards will be distributed to other comrades in the project team, and I, the old man, have only one request." ”
"Elder Wu, just mention it, as long as I Yang Weiping can do it, there is no other word!" Yang Weiping nodded categorically and said.
"I ask to join the Communist Party of China! Please approve it organizationally!" Wu Lao said solemnly.
Thinking of Wu Lao's previous life, he had to wait until 1983 to be approved to join the party, Yang Weiping was really emotional.
Huaxia, it is precisely because there are thousands of scientists like Wu Lao who have silently dedicated their life's energy and painstaking efforts in scientific research posts, laying an immortal cornerstone for the development of science and technology in Huaxia!
"Old Wu, don't worry, I can promise you now, I, Yang Weiping, will personally be your introducer to join the party!" Yang Weiping held Wu Lao's thin hands tightly with both hands, and nodded solemnly and said.
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie Xie Organization's trust, Xie Lu Xie Yang!" Wu Lao thanked again and again with tears in his old eyes. (To be continued.) )
