Chapter 473: Optoelectronic and Infrared
After Yang Yue decided on the name of 'Artillery Detective 1', Yang Hui finally decided not to change it after some careful consideration, and followed the name of this turtle to the extreme.
The so-called extremes of things must be reversed, maybe one day, people will still shout the high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade of this name, as long as there can be results, these will become possible.
It should be known that this artillery reconnaissance 1 is not only used by traditional large-scale artillery units, but also the PLZ-45 artillery system under development should also use this thing, and it is used in a large area, according to the configuration of PLZ-45, this artillery unmanned reconnaissance system is used in accordance with the artillery battalion, which will be a big order.
I just don't know if Kuwait will be able to use this thing in the Gulf War, as if there was no PLZ-45 in the first Gulf War in the last plane, and I don't know if there will be any variables this time.
"The current artillery reconnaissance 1 has been developed, but there seems to be no other UAV development projects in China, if my current team does not have scientific research projects, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain scientific research capabilities."
Yang Yue is a typical leader in the form of scientific research, and it is natural that he will not have anything to say about letting him lead the team to develop, and he can also complete the task well. But when it comes to the problem of winning scientific research projects outside of scientific research, she has a headache, and now she can only leave this problem to Yang Hui to deal with.
But the problem is that Yang Hui has no way now, no matter how strong Yang Hui's ability and eloquence are, the army must also have a need to develop UAVs!
The current Republic army is tightly funded, and it is difficult to maintain even some traditional key projects, and cutting-edge technologies such as drones are still full of uncertainties, and it is difficult for the army to have other operational ideas for drones.
The last one who was in the limelight was the most in the limelight, and now the US imperialists have begun to have some conceptual research, and the terrorist organization that allows the drone to shine seems to be only three or two kittens at this time.
There is no reason for the present republic to develop such a thing. Even the development of UAVs of US imperialism at this time is taking the reconnaissance route, the difference is that the scope of reconnaissance is getting larger and larger.
If there is no demand, who will you develop it for? This is a dead knot that cannot be solved, and the UAV development team has been living by pre-researching advanced UAV technology in the window period of the next few years?
Not to mention that the pre-research of subsystem technology can never be confused with the development of the whole machine, just saying that the technology that has been developed for many years and seems to have no practical use value in the next five or six years, and a large amount of "waste" of manpower and material resources will definitely be sprayed.
Think of these. Yang Hui gradually clarified his thinking: it is difficult to have large-scale UAV scientific research projects in the next five years, and it is obviously impossible for the team to develop the whole machine model. Key technologies such as optoelectronic detection equipment and rotary engines.
The development of the rotary engine is undertaken by the small piston power plant under Southwest Science and Industry, and the first engine used for 'Gun Detection 1' has been finalized and produced with good results, which has attracted much attention at home and abroad.
Even some foreign drone manufacturers, such as Israel's drone giants; Ebit and Sarem are purchasing this engine from Southwest Science and Industry, although the number is small. But it was also possible to barely maintain the development and production of such an engine.
Self-sufficiency like a rotary engine is naturally the best, after all, the versatility of this thing is too good, and it can be used in other aspects, so another key system of the drone; Does the optoelectronic detection system also have such conditions?
After pondering for a long time, Yang Hui finally had an idea, the so-called photoelectric reconnaissance system is actually not only used on UAVs, this set of things is reconnaissance equipment to put it bluntly. No matter where it is installed, it can be used as long as there is a need for reconnaissance.
Now the problem is much simpler. There are simply too many places where optoelectronic detection equipment is needed. To put it simply: fighter jets need optoelectronic radars, warships also need optoelectronic radars, and even the optoelectronic radars in the previous plane have calls for loading tanks and armored vehicles on the ground.
It can be seen that there are too many places where this photoelectric reconnaissance equipment can be used, and in the past, it may have been hindered by the fact that the Republic did not attach much importance to the air reconnaissance force and rarely developed this aspect, but now it is different, and in the advanced third-generation fighter, the photoelectric radar is an indispensable thing.
Optoelectronic radar can be regarded as a large branch of optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment. In terms of the optoelectronic system integration capability accumulated by Southwest Science and Industry in the development of 'Artillery Reconnaissance 1', as long as there are two or three more years, it is not impossible to come up with a set of usable photoelectric radars.
But Yang Hui is not satisfied, although this photoelectric radar is good, but this thing is only very useful for fighter planes in air-to-air combat. Maybe it's a good project right now that can use it.
But now the new plan proposed by Southwest Science and Industry is a multi-purpose fighter that needs to consider ground and sea attacks, and what is needed on this fighter is not only an optoelectronic radar, but also an airborne infrared targeting system.
The so-called airborne infrared sighting system is a kind of detection device configured for multi-purpose fighters to perform precision ground attacks, such as: Blue Shield, Damocles, Sniper and so on.
Through this pod-type equipment installed on the special hardpoint of the fighter, infrared imaging reconnaissance can be carried out on the target, and most of the technology of seeing the infrared image of the ground target through the multi-energy display screen in the cockpit is realized through the airborne infrared aiming pod.
After seeing and confirming the target, it is necessary to realize the precise attack on the target, and when using the infrared guided bomb to strike accurately, the infrared pod needs to launch a laser beam to guide the target of the guided bomb, which also eliminates the trouble of using the infrared guided bomb in the early days, and the special forces need to go deep behind the enemy to give the bomb infrared indication.
It can be said that the infrared aiming pod is a necessary thing for multi-purpose fighters to carry out precision strikes on the ground, and if the new Jj does not have an infrared targeting system, there is no need to think about the problem of precision strikes on the ground.
"This is a problem, it is indeed difficult to have a drone model development task in the past few years, your team is not easy to come by, and you must find a way to keep it. I don't know if you conducted in-depth research on the electro-optical observation and sighting system when you developed the 'Artillery Reconnaissance 1', but if possible, we need to develop such an electro-optical observation and sighting system. ”
Yang Yue has a very keen insight into this kind of technical problem, and she grasps the key point at once.
"Is a separate electro-optical sighting system something similar to an optoelectronic radar? If that's the case, we might be able to develop it. (To be continued.) )
