Chapter 660: Low-Cost Precision Munitions

Since all the subsystems of the AWACS project have been decided, it naturally means that the prototype of the entire project has been decided.

As for the idea of cooperating with Israel to introduce the Fercom early warning aircraft system, as it did in the previous one, this idea is completely unreliable at this time. Not to mention how high the technical requirements of the Fercom early warning aircraft are for the country's basic industry, but to say that the current Fercom early warning aircraft itself is still under development.

The previous Fercon project was established in 89, and due to the choice of a radical active phased array radar system, it took five years to develop the radar, and the first flight was not carried out until 93, and the project was not completed until 96.

Such a project seems to be able to be said to be passable in terms of time, but how to pass the most important level of the United States? The previous plane can directly make you yellow, and this plane can still be expected to secretly hide from the world?

Therefore, now Yang Hui is not even bothered to mention this matter, this time or directly take the route of self-reliance, now get the mechanical rotation of the pulse Doppler airborne early warning radar, and wait until 2000 Once the new low-energy, high-power R components are successfully developed, you can directly skip the fixed active phased array radar stage, and enter the more advanced mechanical rotation phased array radar stage (machine phase sweep), more than Ferkang, Air Police 2000 is also normal.

No matter how good the long-term idea is, the first thing now is to take the first step first. When Chief Commander Wang went to the side with the joint assessment team set up by the Navy and Air Force to discuss the specific situation, even if the project had begun, of course, it could be regarded as a temporary drop.

But this time Yang Hui went to the imperial capital. It's not just the AWACS project: "Leaders, is the country only going to launch two projects of AWACS and anti-ship missiles this time?" In the Gulf War, the United **** expressed its precision ground strike capability. There are also -117 stealth planes announced by the United States before, which are all guarantees that the coalition forces will be able to fight Iraq this time. Can we also prepare for this? ”

I don't know where Yang Hui got the courage to start advertising stealth aircraft, which made the Air Force and Navy stunned at the same time, even Vice Chairman Liu had to sigh that it was good to be young.

Hurriedly waved his hand, for these things, (7) ¢dǐng (7) ¢ diǎn (7) ¢ small (7) ¢ said, .2⊕3.←os_ (); That's absolutely more than enough heart: "Needless to say, how could we not know these good things, if we could, I would like to start the research and development of stealth aircraft, precision-guided munitions, global navigation systems, aircraft carriers, and Aegis systems now." But at the end of the day, it's still a problem. Now the state can't come up with enough funds, this time we can set up two projects, all because these two projects are not too expensive in the early stage, so they can be carried out, if we want to increase the project, we can't afford it now. ”

Sure enough, the problem of money is really a big problem, and as long as this aspect cannot be solved, it is necessary to set up advanced military projects on a large scale. It's a shame that you have to be restrained from all sides.

The state has no capital investment, but Southwest Science and Industry must have something to say, I didn't see what I said just now. Whether it is the navy, the air force, or even the army, or the Second Artillery Corps, their eyes are shining, and they are waiting to see the southwest science and industry have another big bloodletting.

Feeling all kinds of chilling eyes, Yang Hui subconsciously wanted to be a miser. Have a long face. This is only the beginning of a variety of details are not easy for the Southwest Science and Industry now:", and. Our only die forging hydraulic press in China can no longer meet the huge demand for engine orders, and there is also a big shortage in performance. Therefore, we invested half of our own investment and Southwest Aluminum to develop a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, and these are a lot of money! ”

Hearing that the southwest science and industry wants to invest in the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, everyone is short of breath, the importance of this basic industrial equipment is known to everyone here, if this thing can be built smoothly, the four major branches of the army, navy and air can benefit, and the huge military industry of the entire republic can usher in a small technological upgrade.

And not only the military industrial system, as long as it is heavy industry, it can greatly benefit from this, this is already a project related to the national industrial base, Vice Chairman Liu was the first to stand up and express support.

"Okay, if you can make this thing, it will be a real good thing for the country and the people, and when the time comes, I will be able to stand up and block him as soon as possible. You can do it with confidence, as for other projects, we don't ask for anything, you can just do it yourself. ”

Vice Chairman Liu can say such a sentence, Yang Hui of course has the bottom in his heart, at least now Southwest Science and Industry can continue to enjoy the preferential policies for a few more years.

Without worries, Yang Hui seems to be free and easy, the low-cost precision-guided munition project that Southwest Science and Industry has been studying for a long time should indeed be put on the table, even if the state does not invest funds now, it must start research and development work.

"With Chairman Liu's words, we Southwest Science and Industry can continue to live a few more years of peace, and our Southwest Science and Industry next step, I will say it now, all the leaders will listen to it to see if it has a future, we are optimistic about the future of precision-guided munitions, so we are ready to raise internal funds to develop a low-cost precision-guided munitions."

In the early nineties, precision-guided munitions were a symbol of superiority, and how could this kind of high-level weapons also be low-cost, in essence, now everyone equates precision-guided munitions with expensive.

But is precision-guided munitions really too expensive? This is not necessarily, soon after the US imperialists have finished the Gulf War, they will begin to embark on a road of no return: joint guided attack weapons, which are conventional free-fall bombs and precision guidance kits, using a single and low-cost satellite navigation system to guide, and finally achieve high-precision attacks at a very low cost.

The high cost performance of this kind of thing, the table Xiàn immediately after its launch swept the world, reaching the largest shipment in the history of precision-guided munitions procurement, just this diǎn: "cheap", it has attracted too many countries to procure, of course, it has also attracted many countries to imitate this road one after another, to develop their own satellite-guided munitions.

The most typical is the Republic of Thunder Stone series of bombs, this thing can almost be regarded as the Republic of the joint guided attack weapon, the type of bomb according to the weight of the charge is divided into two kinds of big thunder stone and small thunder stone, and after the Republic has established its own satellite navigation system, it is even more unnecessary to bird the dissatisfaction of the United States, and the United States joint guided attack weapons to do it, especially in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, this ammunition is simply unfavorable.

Now, this kind of thing must be developed first, even if there is no Beidou navigation system now, but the missiles sold abroad can use PS, if there is a real need in the country, you can also discuss with Russia in the north, and there is no problem with using GLONASS.

Anyway, to say a thousand things and ten thousand, Southwest Science and Industry is going to make precision-guided munitions into cabbage prices this time, and directly make them into standard pairs of ground attack ammunition for -17 fighters in the future, and it will be a win-win situation at that time.

Satellite-guided munitions enrich the options for weapon mountings of the -17, which in turn can facilitate the massive export sales of ammunition. As a low-cost ammunition, when the time comes, foreign tyrants can directly throw it down in exercises and training, and anyway, it won't cost much to purchase new ammunition, and everyone will just follow the routine of small profits and quick turnover.
