Chapter 278:
In the future, it is not certain whether to develop in the field of gallium arsenide microwave devices, which is something that needs to be carefully considered and discussed within the 607 Institute.
At this time, it is really difficult for people to make up their minds, and it has to be considered by Wang Zhengguo, whether the military airborne computer project can be recommended to the 607 Institute to do, this question is indeed a bit tricky to say, and it is really difficult to say for a while.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that Kaiyang Semiconductor is only responsible for the development of microprocessor components, and to really make a computer, it also needs to integrate various peripheral components, which is definitely not the scope of Kaiyang Semiconductor's work, and can only find another unit to be responsible.
Yaoguang Electronics has long been determined that it will not be involved in military projects, so it seems that in the case of the 607 Institute, it is simply unique.
First of all, 607 has been determined to win the subcontracting qualification of Yaoguang Electronics' motherboard components, and it should be able to accumulate a certain strength in PC computer development in the next two years, and the military-grade microprocessor should also be just developed, whether in terms of time or technology, the connection between the two is quite in place.
Looking at it again, in the domestic military industrial system, there are absolutely no more than a few units that have experience in developing electronic computers, and among them, only 607 has been screened out to have the ability to develop compact electronic computers.
If we take into account the embarrassing situation of the 607 Institute, which now has no projects at hand, and the common practice of the Republic in dealing with state-owned military industrial units, under the same circumstances, it is natural to give priority to units that are more in need of help.
What's more, the lack of a project at hand means that the institute has enough human resources to be able to invest more manpower in the computer project and increase the likelihood of the project's success.
As for the shortcomings that the 607 Institute has to face in developing an airborne computer, of course, there are also these, and the first thing is that this unit has never developed a complete electronic computer, and even if the computer motherboard business at hand can allow it to accumulate a certain amount of experience, this cannot be regarded as the development of a complete machine after all.
That for this problem, in fact, after a little thought about it, I was relieved, 607 has no experience in the development of the whole machine, that is as if other units are really experienced, everyone is half a catty, in this worse world, 607 is barely acceptable.
On the contrary, because of the good relationship between 607 and Yaoguang Electronics, it is completely possible to borrow and learn the routines of Yaoguang Electronics at that time, but other units may not have this treatment, in the eighties and nineties, travel, long-distance communication is not as convenient and low-cost as decades later.
Comprehensively comparing the advantages and disadvantages, the 607 Institute undertook the airborne computer research and development project, which means that the time and place are favorable, and Wang Zhengguo has no reason to choose other units.....
He had already secretly made a decision in his heart, so he smiled and threw out the plan: "Finally, let's talk about the military-grade microprocessor we talked about before, does Chief Engineer Su know where this thing was originally intended to be used?"
Regarding Wang Zhengguo's whimsical moves, Chief Engineer Su has already understood before, although someone's topic turn is extremely abrupt, but it makes people want to stop, who knows if this guy has any amazing ideas?
"Of course I remember, this thing is a military product, and you have such a good relationship with the aviation system, I think it should be used as an airborne computer project and supporting it, and it must not have been developed specifically for radar data processing at the beginning. ”
Since the 607 Institute is mixed in the aviation system, it is naturally very clear about aviation, radar, avionics are usually difficult to separate, as the chief engineer of the institute, he has a certain understanding of the importance of the airborne computer, just pinch his fingers to guess what the military processor project was originally matched with.
Someone naturally knows that it is difficult to be a well-informed old-timer, after all, Jiang must still be old and spicy, but fortunately, it is just the beginning of a simple topic, and it is harmless.
"That's right, this processor is indeed specially designed for airborne computers, but now Kaiyang Semiconductor is only responsible for the development of processors, and Yaoguang Semiconductor will definitely not meddle in the military business, so the specific development contractor of this airborne computer has not yet been determined. ”
It has not yet been determined who is the developer of the airborne computer, and when he said this at this special time, Chief Engineer Su could certainly understand what it meant, and his joy suddenly overflowed.
It's really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and it is a promising project.
"Haven't decided yet? For example, which unit should be designated to try to contact Kaiyang first?"
After saying that, it seemed that he felt a little wrong, and his heart was crossed, and he immediately changed his words: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if he has preliminary intentions above, as long as it has not been determined which unit will undertake it, I will try it in 607, anyway, it is already a last battle, and it doesn't matter so much." ”
As long as he said that there was a project to fight for, Chief Engineer Su instantly came to his strength, and then swept away the tiredness on his face.
"There is nothing to say for the time being, it is difficult for domestic military units to find the right one in a short period of time, the high-level means to let Kaiyang Semiconductor develop the processor first, and then arrange the follow-up computer development, mainly to see the recommendation of Kaiyang Semiconductor, so you take this project is probably nine out of ten, and you don't even need to bid. ”
Bidding for military projects, which is a new system that has been gradually implemented since the eighties, is essentially different from the previous model of direct designation of units developed by major mechanical ministries and commissions, and the benefits of the new system are naturally needless to say, but to say that this bidding, in fact, it is not always possible.
For example, no unit is willing to do this military airborne computer project, and of course it can only be given to whoever is willing to take over this work.
Even if it was Chief Engineer Su, who usually didn't like shapes, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at this time, stood up and picked up the tea on the table, knowing that it was already cold, but he still raised his head boldly and took a sip, which was regarded as replacing wine with tea.
"It's really clear this time, and it seems that in the next few years, we will have to focus our work on the computer field. Civilian computer motherboards, military airborne computers, as long as we can do these two, it is enough to ensure that the 607 is alive and well, and there are enough funds to do pre-research, and it is not impossible to return to the field of airborne radar in the future. ”
Where are the advantages of their own research institute, of course, Chief Engineer Su is very clear, to say that the development of airborne computers, there is really no more suitable unit than the 607 Institute in China, this cross-field development, the airborne computer project must be in the bag.
Maybe it's not just the on-board computer, in the entire military industry, the weapon system that needs to use the electronic computer, that's just a lot!
"The on-board computer alone is not enough, when I read the information before, the Swedish PS-05 radar has given up the use of a special radar data processing computer, and instead handed over all the relevant data to the on-board computer to process, the JAS-39 fighter equipped with the PS-05 radar is planned to use the on-board computer is Sweden Ericsson developed the three services D-80, which means that the compact military computer, in fact, can be made into the three services. ”
The plan of the general computer of the three armed forces is really eye-catching, and even when Wang Zhengguo heard this, it felt like opening the door to a new world, which was completely feasible!
The on-board computer, to put it bluntly, is just a computer, and the reason why it can play a role in various special fields is actually to rely on a variety of specially developed software to work, and the same computer, installed with different software, can be used in different places.
Moreover, the concept of the three armed services has already been put into practice by some people abroad, which shows that the feasibility is very high and it is worth trying.
As far as I know, in addition to the need for airborne computers for airplanes in the sky, ground tanks will also be no exception, the latest main battle tanks in Europe and the United States have been equipped with a full set of digital central computers, artillery units should be equipped with special ballistic/atmospheric data integrated computers, command systems for small ships, these modern weapons and equipment, all of which must be inseparable from military computers. ”
The general-purpose computer of the three armed services is absolutely an indispensable good thing in the future, and it belongs to the inevitable direction of the modernization and development of the armed forces.
If we can really make computers common to the three armed services, then we will be truly remarkable, and this will be able to solve the most core problem in the informationization of the equipment of the three services at one time, and provide a completely independent security guarantee for the informationization of the armed forces.
It seems that this time we have indeed chosen the right person, and we can see the trend of generalizing military computers among the three services, and such people will certainly attach great importance to the research and development of computers, and we can really rest assured.
When Chief Engineer Su heard that he had just put forward the idea of a general-purpose computer for the three armed services, he immediately got the approval of the processor developer.
"That's right, when I went down to the meeting, I told the institute all the news, although the airborne radar project of Chaoqi was lost, but to be able to get the general computer project of the three services, this will be a big project of higher importance, it seems that in the near future, the institute must re-plan the future development context. ”
The previous key planning projects of the institute are no longer possible, and the current new projects have little to do with the previous radar business, but they are of the same level in importance and urgency, in this case, it is naturally necessary to modify the future development route according to the existing changes.
"This is reasonable, today we have encountered a lot of changes, the chief engineer is very necessary to communicate with the comrades in the institute, I will go back and visit the situation in our institute a little, and go back to Yaoguang Electronics to record the results of this inspection. ”
There are changes and gains, and this trip to the 607 Institute is really impressive.
