Chapter 852: A Variety of Weapons

Sure enough, do you dare to wave after you have enough power? Like the MQ-1 drone, everyone is the same 1-ton UAV, the piston engine used by the MQ-1 can only be the Rotax 914F turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the engine is only 115 horsepower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this way, considering that the UAV in the southwest of AVIC can have sufficient power of 180 horsepower, there is no problem if you really want to directly go to four weapon hardpoints, at most, when the four hardpoints are used at the same time, only small guided bombs can be mounted on the outside, and the configuration of this weapon hardpoint is probably more similar to the rainbow 4 UAV, but it is much better than the two hardpoints of the MQ-1 Predator.

In fact, when it comes to the MQ-1 and Rainbow 4, which are integrated UAVs, because they have made the greatest optimization for the flight range in terms of aerodynamics, the almost ****** aerodynamic shape design also allows the aircraft to ensure that the aircraft will not stall as long as it can reach a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1.

And even more crazy is the MQ-1 Predator, this guy is only 115 horsepower, to convert the success rate is 86 kilowatts, which is calculated with the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft 1020 kg, you will find that this guy's power-to-weight ratio is not even 0.1, but it can still fly very safely.

Therefore, in terms of the 180 horsepower (130 kilowatts) power that AVIC Southwest can provide, even if you calculate the maximum take-off weight of the drone to 1.5 tons, there is no problem, but at this time, the power-to-weight ratio should be relaxed, but the weapon plug-in capacity of 400KG can definitely be done.

"No matter what weapon is carried, the four weapon hardpoints must be guaranteed, which is whether this aircraft can effectively replace the toucan, a low-end ground attack aircraft, so this time I will also say hello to the team that developed satellite-guided bombs over there, so that they can make a series of satellite-guided bombs that are now about to be developed to the end, and your UAV should need two satellite-guided bombs of different levels."

To say that this time you need two different levels of gliding guided bombs, it is absolutely right, after all, the loading capacity of the aircraft has reached 400KG, so a 200KG level of guided bombs must be there, although this thing is actually rarely used on the UAV, but it is always right to be prepared, and it is still very cost-effective to use this thing when attacking the ground.

Further down is the 100KG level of small diameter bombs, this guy is the most commonly used airborne weapon of the Chada UAV, whether it is the previous US Chada UAV, or the Republic of China's UAV, everyone uses the most satellite-guided bombs of this level.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Hui explained the benefits of this thing: "Although the accuracy of satellite-guided bombs is not as good as laser guidance, you can't stand the cost-effectiveness of this thing, plus this satellite-guided bomb does not need additional target designation, and it is also convenient to use, so the combination of satellite-guided bombs and reconnaissance and combat UAVs is a perfect match." ”

Of course, things are a perfect match, if there is no satellite-guided bomb for the integrated UAV in this year, it cannot be regarded as having a complete ammunition ecological chain, and at the same time, only after being equipped with satellite-guided bombs, the UAV project department envisions the UAV bandit suppression capability can be realized.

But how can the drone be equipped with satellite-guided bombs, it is not equipped with anti-ground armored target missiles, this kind of drone is also not a complete drone, and the anti-tank missile almost runs through the entire spectrum of the drone, and this does not matter what tonnage you are of the integrated drone.

Starting from the 600KG Rainbow 3, or the MQ-1 is just 1 ton of entry-level, or it may be an epoch-making 1.5-ton UAV that will be launched in the southwest of AVIC, or even a 3-ton Rainbow 4 or 5-ton MQ-9, etc., as long as you are an armed UAV, then the anti-armor missile is the standard weapon.

The last UAV of the United States had the Hellfire anti-tank missile, and the Republic was equipped with a special AR-1 anti-tank missile, and they all have one thing in common: the 50KG class.

Everyone belongs to a multi-purpose air-to-surface missile, which can be used to hit many targets including tanks, armored vehicles, ground fortifications and surface ships, so this small thing is a typical consumable, and it also belongs to the category of easy to use and inexpensive.

If a series of satellite-guided bombs are used to accurately attack fixed targets on the ground, then a 50KG anti-tank missile is a sharp weapon used to attack moving targets, so that the combat range of the UAV can be significantly expanded, after all, many times the target is not standing there and waiting for your bomb to come.

In addition to being able to effectively destroy both stationary and moving targets when on the ground, the UAV must actually have a certain anti-air combat capability, but this is just a gimmick in Yang Hui's view, and this thing is only the US military installed Stinger missiles on the MQ-1, and the US military requires that it be able to launch a wave of attacks when encountering targets such as helicopters.

But in fact, let the UAV to fight against targets such as helicopters, it is simply more difficult, it is completely unnecessary a requirement, once the UAV is a small thing found in the air, it is better to run away quickly, after all, the cruise speed of more than 200 is really not even a helicopter can run, naturally there is no need to take the initiative to deal with helicopters.

And if there is a real need, the republic's side is not unable to be satisfied, after all, it is now 94 years, and in a few years, the Hongying-6 portable air defense missile will also be finalized, and it will be enough to integrate it into the UAV weapon system at that time, but there is no need for AVIC Southwest to develop a special air-to-air missile for UAV use.

The above weapons are almost all the weapons of a drone that is integrated with the survey, and the front and back add up to only 4 kinds of weapons, so it is not much, but as long as it is an armed drone with an integrated investigation and fighting, you must have the above weapons.

Now AVIC Southwest can expand the satellite-guided bombs that have been developed before into a series of UAVs, but there is no suitable model for small missiles like Hellfire in China, and then it can only be developed by AVIC Southwest itself.

If we want to say that AVIC Southwest is developing missiles, although it was not well-known before, if we want to say that we have a good grasp of the entire subsidiary of AVIC Southwest, then it is still possible to find one or two missile development units, at least Hongdu has a long-standing missile development and production capacity, and Zhuzhou's 331 factory also participated in the development of air-to-air missiles in the 60s.

It's just that after the adjustment of the national policy after the 80s, only Hongdu still has a certain missile development capability under the Southwest banner of AVIC, and the missiles developed by Hongdu are not bad.

"We do now have the ability to develop a UAV that integrates reconnaissance and fighting, and we have already done a similar job in the development of guided weapons, and in a few days I will let Hongdu start developing a matching 50KG anti-armor missile. Now your UAV project department is slowly starting the development work, but the development cost of this UAV is not high, the head office can fully support your project development, and this will also be an epoch-making UAV, we are the leader of the times.
