Get the AWG-9 radar of the F14 and install it on the long-endurance aircraft platforms such as the Y-7 and H-6, and then you can achieve a pretty good early warning.

As soon as this idea appeared, it was like a spark burning a prairie fire, and after thinking about various aspects, I found that this project has a lot to offer. The last F14 that hit Iran was greatly reduced because it used up its AIM-54 missiles, which greatly reduced the combat capability of the F14.

On the one hand, they modified the Hawk missile to the F14, and on the other hand, they used the F14 as an early warning command plane, commanding them on the second line of operations, and let the F-4 and F-5 planes go forward to fight, which greatly enhanced the overall combat effectiveness.

The two-seat design of the F14 allows it to perform this task well, and it also shows from the side that the AWG-9 radar performance is indeed very good, and the radar detection range can be used for early warning and command.

The only problem is that it is limited to the space of the nose radome of the F14, and the scanning range of the radar is only plus or minus 65 degrees, but it is not a problem when placed on a specially designed large early warning patrol aircraft. Since there is a large airborne platform, the rotation range of the radar can naturally be increased, and it is really not a problem to achieve a larger angle of radar scanning area.

As for the source of radar, Yang Hui said that the demand for this thing is really not large, and it will take more than ten or twenty sorties at most, and now the army of the republic really can't afford to raise too many special operations aircraft, and they also use so much.

What do you think in your heart, you have to do the action in your hand, and a phone call was made to Commander Liu's office in the navy, and you have to ask the navy if it has this need, if it is not Yang Hui, no matter how good it is, it will not make any sense.

"A good AWACS patrol aircraft? Of course, the navy needs this thing, and with patrol and early warning aircraft, our navy can increase the sea dominance radius a lot, which is an absolutely good thing. ”

The Navy's demand for patrol early warning aircraft is completely just. This is especially true after the special sea area of Nanhai.

Since the navy did not have this thing before, the ability to control the Nanhai Sea can almost be said to be minimal, but now it is different, the navy has the J-74 and the air tanker. At least the combat capability can radiate to most of the South China Sea.

The only shortcoming is that whether it is the H-6 or the J-74, their radars are all weak machines, and the H-6 will not say much, what long-range radar can an old bomber have!

The J-74 radar only solves the problem of whether there is a problem, and the pitiful 100-kilometer limit search distance is really a bit unacceptable.

Now that there is a finished radar with a maximum of 300 kilometers in front of it, which can also be converted into an early warning patrol aircraft, the navy says it can't resist this temptation.

Although he had long guessed that the Navy would not be able to refuse this temptation, he heard it admit it with his own ears. Only then can Yang Hui feel at ease, and the follow-up matters can continue to be carried out.

"That's good, as long as the navy has this need, our Southwest Science and Industry can find a way to provide the navy with these equipment, or ask the navy to send an equipment researcher to the southwest science and technology tool body to discuss the situation."

It is not enough to just talk about it on the phone, but it is more necessary to have the agreement of specific relevant personnel, and it is not so easy to determine the technical and tactical indicators alone, as the first early warning patrol aircraft of the Republic. Without the experience of predecessors, everything is even more troublesome.

"That's true. I'll arrange personnel to go to your Southwest Science and Industry later, to see what kind of plan you can give, first talk about those unreliable plans, the Navy will never want it, and it's okay to invest too long! ”

The navy of these years is like this, the plan is unreliable, don't be. The deeper meaning is that the risk is too great, and people don't want it, and the current navy can't withstand risky projects. It is easier to invest for too long, and patience will long be gone.

Fortunately, the plan given by Yang Hui is very easy to do, and there are many radars and long-endurance flight platforms, which require speed and airtime. Naturally, the H-6 is the best platform; If the front-line is required to take off and land over short distances, the requirements for speed and range are not high, and naturally there is no problem with using the Y-7 aircraft as a platform.

If you want to be in the middle of the Yun-7 and H-6, it is naturally the Yun-8, this platform seems to be the best, the only drawback is that the output of the Yun-8 in this year is extremely low, and the cabin is not an airtight cabin, so it is somewhat inconvenient to arrange the early warning crew.

The most tyrant, the most comfortable working environment, and the long range are still better to modify passenger aircraft, but the current situation seems that passenger aircraft modification is the most unreliable, Yang Hui locked his eyes on the three military aircraft in front.

To do an early warning patrol aircraft, not only need to have radar, carrier aircraft platform these hardware facilities, software facilities can also not be weak, a part of the early warning function of the aircraft, without the appropriate software support, the function will be greatly reduced.

The most typical is the Soviet Union's A-50 early warning aircraft, this guy looks tall and big, with a thief's big plate, but the software can't keep up, not only the software algorithm of the radar itself is backward, the contact information between the early warning aircraft and the combat aircraft is also backward, and the huge combat command all relies on the manual communication command of some crew members in the early warning aircraft.

How awesome does this have to be? It is true that these problems are caused by the large number of combat planes to be commanded, and if it is used in the weakened version of the early warning patrol aircraft that Yang Hui is now preparing to develop for the navy, voice call command is not impossible.

But Yang Hui just can't accept this kind of thing, backwardness is backwardness, there is not much reason, now Yang Hui wants to prepare to do this project, how to improve, the degree of automation still has to be a little interesting to be embarrassed to come out.

The so-called degree of automation, is not too troublesome, at least within the Southwest Science and Industry, there is already a set of its own design style, J-74's avionics system is to take the American route, and the upcoming AWG-9 radar is also a typical American radar.

In the cooperation of J-74, Southwest Science and Industry has obtained the 1553B data bus technology, which at least means that J-74 and the AWG-9 radar will be equipped with AWG-9 radar in the future have the most basic fit!

Only the same design based on the 1553B data bus, the data exchange between the two aircraft is possible, once the data exchange between the early warning patrol aircraft and the combat aircraft in front of the combat is realized, not only the combat aircraft is beneficial, but the rear early warning patrol aircraft can also expand the combat perception range again.

Although the Jian-74 radar in front is not very good, it still has a search range of 50 or 60 kilometers, and the data is fed back to the early warning command plane, which will have a clearer picture of the situation on the entire battlefield and more smooth information.

This is the benefit of data interaction, with this thing after the early warning command is still a preliminary entry, without this thing of the early warning aircraft can only be regarded as a simple radar on the plane, has not been deeply obtained the essence of the use of early warning aircraft.

After these are done, the source of the radar is precisely the simplest, and the republic can directly buy the F14 airborne radar from Iran, whether it can be used or not, the entire twenty or thirty sets will come back for backup.

Iran's F14 really lost very little in combat, most of the F14 knelt on the logistics dimension, these F14 radars actually did not last long, take it back and refurbish it can be used.

Of course, this kind of renovation is naturally to ask the US imperialists for help, but this is not a problem, even if it is clear that this thing was obtained from Iran, the US imperialists will not say anything. After all, it is better for this thing to be in the hands of the Republic than in the hands of Iran, an evil country, and through this deal, it can also help the US imperialists assess the strength of the Iranian Air Force.

It can be said that the US imperialists can also make a small profit from the cost of refurbishing these radars, at least more than if they were rotten in the hands of Iran. As for whether the republic will become more "evil" than Iran in the future, the current US imperialists can't care so much. (To be continued.) )

PS: Don't wait for the second chapter, let me rest on New Year's Day, tomorrow time can be used for code words, and everything that should be made up will be made up! Forgive me, everyone!

Finally, Happy New Year's Day, everyone! Thank you all for your support in 15 years, and hope to support the same in 16 years!
