Since the navy requires the use of Yun-7 as a platform, Southwest Science and Industry can only be determined in this way, and the most suitable platform Yun-8 is not mature enough now, and Yang Hui cannot ask for Yun-8 to be used hard-headed.

It is said that the plan should be reliable, the risk should be small, and the speed should be fast, so it can only be Yunqi as a platform. Think about the previous face, it is not uncommon to use the Yun-7 class linear passenger aircraft as the platform early warning aircraft, such as Sweden's Saab 340 early warning aircraft, and the early warning aircraft jointly developed by Brazil and India are also based on the EMB145 regional airliner as the platform.

These guys with early warning aircraft brands all use regional airliners as platforms, and the simple finished shelves of early warning patrol aircraft temporarily pulled out are also bearable with Yunqi as a platform, at least to solve the problem of whether there is or not.

However, the General Staff Department has some different opinions, and what he has to consider is not only the needs of the navy, the scale of the air force is larger than that of the navy, and the pressure on air defense in the north is not small at all, and it is also necessary to solve the problem of whether there are early warning planes, and the airspace that the air force is responsible for is really too big, and it is too much for a small aircraft like the Yun-7 to be used as a platform.

I opened my mouth to say something, but when the words came to my mouth, I was interrupted at the same time, and I had no choice but to swallow. The General Staff are all smart people, and they know the overall examination of things, first of all, Yun Ba can't think about it now, and the only good thing is the big guy who has just been finalized: four rounds of oil six.

This thing is definitely a very suitable airborne platform, as a 100-ton jet platform that is almost close to the Boeing 707 aircraft, it is not a problem to be an AWACS platform.

Even more radical, there is no problem in putting the dismounted Air Police No. 1 back on the four-shot bombardment platform, but the risk is too great. The state certainly can't agree with it.

The only reliable solution is to get two AWG-9 radars in hand, and learn from the British Fan Hunting Early Warning Aircraft. Two radars at the front and rear to achieve 360-degree coverage without dead angles. As for saying that this arrangement will make the already very ugly four-shot six-shot even uglier. The facts tell you that turtles are not disgusted.

It seems to be very valuable, but there is a very big problem, the AWG-9 radar has a maximum search distance of only 300 kilometers for large bombers, and the maximum number of targets tracked is only 24, even if such a radar achieves 360 degrees without dead angles, it is not of much significance.

In addition, the source of this AWG-9 radar is not reliable, and after twenty or thirty radars can meet the needs of the Navy, how much balance does the Air Force have, even if it is barely launched. How many large AWACS aircraft can be supplied for manufacturing and use?

Even if this project is forced to be launched, Yang Hui will definitely stop it, joke, I'm afraid that before the development of this large early warning aircraft is completed, the US imperialists will start to impose sanctions, where to find the radar? Looking for Israel like the previous one? Hehehe

It's still honest, to be a small early warning patrol aircraft that conforms to the identity of the AWG-9 radar, which is a short-term and fast project, and the development speed can be relatively fast and the difficulty is small. When the time comes, it will be enough to stock up on some spare parts by the fall of '89 to be able to carry these temporary goods until the mid-nineties.

The real AWACS aircraft has to see whether there is a chance after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the AWACS project at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union is not old, and the large disk aircraft has a follow-up development type of A-50. Small and medium-sized small disk machines in the Jacques Design Bureau, Antonov. Even if you get one casually, you can start the road to a real AWACS aircraft, and when the time comes, the six platforms will just mature, and everything will be just right.

Although others don't know about these. But they have their own considerations for the performance of the AWG-9 radar. The General Staff of the General Staff, who understands the situation, can also think that a radar tracking 24 targets needs a large early warning platform? Just by virtue of this, don't think about large AWACS aircraft. It is just right to leave it to the Navy as a small early warning patrol aircraft.

After stopping the people, the researcher of the General Staff Department asked a very crucial question: "It is absolutely not enough to have a radar and a body, and in order to make a small early warning aircraft that can be used, we also need to have a qualified central processing system, which we cannot avoid." ”

The early warning aircraft is incomplete without the central processing system, and in order to win this project as quickly as possible, Yang Hui can only sacrifice the last killing move.

"We really don't have this ability now, to come up with the finished product as quickly as possible, we need foreign aid, whether it is the United States, the United Kingdom, as long as we give money now, we can invite an experienced team to participate in research and development."

That's right, if you don't take advantage of this last window period, hurry up and find a foreign teacher to learn a trick and a half, just Southwest Science and Industry to play this project by itself, two years to win I am afraid it is still a bit mysterious, and it may not be able to do a good job of integration with the highest efficiency.

Self-reliance is good, but the doctrine can not be lost, an excellent team is to be able to embrace all rivers, learn from others' strengths, only in this project to learn some Western technology, in order to do better in the later large-scale early warning aircraft project.

Hearing that foreign aid was going to be invited, the Navy had some questions, what kind of foreign aid could be invited to help the Republic develop such a thing as early warning aircraft, which is really a bit sensitive.

"The companies in these two countries are not bad, the UK has launched the early warning aircraft of the hunt, but the technology they have accumulated in the research and development of the early warning aircraft is enough to participate in our current project, but the United States will help us do the early warning aircraft project? Or the AWACS aircraft used by the Navy, which should be a very sensitive project, right? ”

This is why the Navy thinks too much, and the current United States may indeed have some precautions against the republic, but the previous republics and the Soviet Union are constantly winning, and the possibility of the U.S. imperialists, who have been caught in the eye medicine, to stop it at this time is actually relatively small.

"No, no, what we developed is not an early warning aircraft, it is an aircraft used for patrolling, and the performance of this aircraft we want is not very good, in fact, it is the level of the C121 early warning star of the United States in the 50s, and I think the resistance will not be too great."

There is another aspect that Yang Hui did not say, even if he said that these military guys may not be able to figure it out, you must know that now the Grumman company, which is responsible for the development of the American early warning aircraft, is about to be unable to open the pot, although the F14 project is still supporting Grumman.

But Grumman was too early in the development of the F14, when the dollar was still strong, Grumman gave a relatively low price, but who knows that the dollar withered later, Grumman can be said to have suffered a heavy blow, if it were not for the Iranian order, I am afraid they would have to go bankrupt.

Later, although he barely survived, and relied on the logistics of the F14 pit father, he was still alive and well. But since F14, Grumman has never had a major project, and the scientific research team continues to be worried. In the previous interview, Northrop got two projects from the Republic in the mid-eighties: Project 82 and Project Super 7, which were barely surviving, but now the two projects have nothing to do with Grumman, one was cut off by McDonnell Douglas and the other by Northrop.

When Grumman was participating in the Air Force ATF project in all major factories of the United States, this company did not participate in it due to its heavy naval brand, whether it was the F22 or F23 project.

Yang Hui believes that now he has thrown an olive branch to Grumman, to develop an entry-level patrol aircraft, Grumman is still not happy to jump his feet, this company has developed the E-2 and other unique naval carrier-based early warning aircraft, is there pressure to be an entry-level small patrol aircraft?

In addition, the AWG-9 radar was originally Grumman's old friend, and the F14 is someone else's aircraft, so it can be said that Grumman is definitely the best choice, and when the time comes, with Grumman's relationship with the U.S. Navy, plus its own influence in the U.S. Congress, the probability of cooperation is very large.
