Chapter 661: Low Resistance and Gliding

In recent years, satellite guidance, or more closely, it should be said that navigation has indeed been used and developed rapidly, but that thing is still more used for traffic navigation, and it is a relatively promising idea to be able to propose the use of satellite-guided bombs, as for low cost, this does not seem to be without hope.

Of course, even the last Thunderstone series guided munitions can be regarded as a tall weapon for the current republican ** team.

But no matter how tall it is, as long as it can reduce a certain cost compared with traditional TV guidance, laser guidance and other solutions, just relying on this diǎn is enough to arouse the interest of the military, and this project does not need to be funded by the army, who will dislike such potential stocks, and it is not known if there will be a technological breakthrough one day, and it will really be made into a low-cost guided munition.

Whether it is the party that controls this army or the army itself, the coalition air strike operations of the Gulf War have understood that this precision-guided weapon is absolutely indispensable, and it is indispensable to develop and update combat platforms and weapons around the new operational thinking.

The Air Force did not hesitate to support it: "I also listened to your plan, this may be a new way of guided weapons, although the Air Force does not have enough funds to invest support, but we can guarantee that as long as the guidance system is reliable, the Air Force will purchase a large number of them." We don't want anything else, because this solution is to add guidance components to the traditional free-fall bombs to achieve precision strikes, which can be very effective in using the old bombs in stock, at least to reduce some procurement costs. ”

The Air Force saw that the project could complete the precision guidance of ground attack at a relatively small cost, so it expressed its intention to support the project, compared to the Navy is much more conservative, but this time the low-cost satellite-guided munitions also have a considerable temptation to the Navy. Confuse.

Then he said: "Although the accuracy of this guided bomb may not be comparable to that of laser-guided munitions, and the gap between them may not be small." But with the advantage of all-weather adaptability and ignorance of this missile, the Navy must also support it. ”

Navy! Based on the current operational environment of the republic, it is an indisputable fact that almost all the places where it is really necessary to take the initiative to launch attacks are some island battles, and the environment of the island area is variedβŠ•s_β‰ . β˜…β˜…β˜… β˜… The clouds are thicker and the fog is heavier. Laser guidance failures are normal.

Even to tell a joke, as long as the target of the attack is alert in advance, if there can still be an expert with a big brain, it will be like a god-like figure like Zhang Juzuo of the Republic.

Once you figure out the big trick of haze anti-laser, artificially create a large number of P2.5 particles, as long as the haze concentration in the air goes up, the laser-guided bomb can only be a headless fly, or do you really think that Zhang Juzuo's haze anti-laser theory is a joke? Speaking of which, this is an absolutely original scheme!

Although there should be no other country that can be so brainy. However, the Navy must take precautions, and besides, there are many factors that affect laser-guided weapons, and now the Navy has to prepare for an all-weather precision-guided weapon.

There are all kinds of reasons for this, but they all show one result: the army is very interested in this thing, and the southwest science and industry can let go of its arms and start research and development work.

"No problem, as long as the military has this need, we can carry out research and development work with peace of mind, presumably this level of precision-guided munitions. The state will not ban our export orders in the future, right? In terms of the accuracy of this ammunition, we estimate that the dispersion area will be about 15 meters. ”

Compared with the estimate given by Yang Hui, the accuracy is about 15 meters. It's really not good-looking, look at these laser-guided munitions on the pavement road, in the seventies, the accuracy directly reached the range of 6 meters, which is not a small difference.

Although such munitions as satellite-guided missiles bear the name of precision guidance, the Republic has no reason to demand a ban on the export of such munitions.

For this kind of problem. Vice Chairman Liu stood up and assured: "This is reassuring, as long as you can make this thing, the state will never stop your export, this is not a weapon of mass destruction, just export it." Didn't the United States also say it when it boasted about precision-guided munitions? The more accurate the munition, the greater the reduction in casualties among innocent civilians in combat, so it is a humane bomb. ”

In the end, even Vice Chairman Liu felt a little blushing, I really don't know how the Americans are so able to blow and give the weapon of murder to a humane bomb, this is really enough!

For a moment, the whole conference room burst into laughter again, and this should be the first time I heard laughter in this multi-week meeting! Therefore, the whole conference room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, which can be regarded as a synthesis and alleviation of the oppressive atmosphere accumulated over the past few days.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered a problem, if our satellite-guided bomb this time is still improved on the basis of the previous high-resistance bomb, on the one hand, this thing will have greater aerodynamic drag when it is mounted under the wing, and the gliding distance of the improved guided bomb is also a problem. According to some of our previous aerodynamic studies, if we use low-resistance bomb modification, this series of ammunition can be launched outside the defense area, which greatly enhances the safety of the carrier aircraft. ”

The difference between satellite-guided bombs and traditional iron bombs is not only the accuracy of the ammunition, but also the introduction of gliders, which can achieve long-distance unpowered gliding.

On the one hand, the distance of unpowered gliding depends on the lift of the glider, on the other hand, it depends on the resistance of the bomb itself.

However, in the Republic, most of the bombs before the 90s were used on bombers with built-in ammunition compartments such as the H-6, so it didn't matter the drag generated by the aircraft carrying ammunition under the wings in flight, so high-resistance bombs were used, which were short and thick and suitable for being packed in a small bomb bay.

But now it doesn't work, high-drag bombs are not only not conducive to hanging under the wings of multi-role fighters such as J-18, but also gliding guided munitions modified into satellite positioning, and they themselves also need the resistance of the bomb to be as small as possible, which can not only reduce the in-flight resistance of combat aircraft, but also greatly increase the gliding distance of ammunition.

Therefore, this time Yang Hui must put forward his request, it is best to let the army be able to set up a low-resistance bomb, only in this way can it be regarded as a complete satellite-guided gliding bomb.

At first, the military didn't know that this bomb could glide for a long distance without power after being launched, but now that it understands that this ammunition has such hidden skills, where can it still sit still, as for the low-resistance bomb, this thing is too simple.

"That's a problem! The research and development of this iron bomb does not cost a few dollars, at most it is to blow the wind and test a suitable low-resistance aerodynamic shape, and ensure that the finished product will be delivered and tested in a year and a half. (To be continued.) )
