Chapter 657: Speed or Performance

The use of the bombardment six as the early warning aircraft platform, this is a pretty good plan, but the most important thing about the early warning aircraft is not the platform, but what kind of design is the whole set of system early warning, as long as the early warning system can be advanced enough, as long as you want to change the platform in the future.

At this time, it is necessary to look at the hard power of Southwest Science and Industry, and more directly to see the technical ability of the photoelectric detection system company under Southwest Science and Industry Corporation.

Let's talk about the good news first, Chief Engineer Wang is quite excited now: "Therefore, our preparation is very sufficient, in the past two years, with the support of the head office, we have spent tens of millions of dollars to continue to study the most important part of the early warning aircraft, and have carried out a lot of research on the digital chain system of command and communication, and last year there was already a set of physical objects put into the test, and the effect was quite good." Therefore, we have a complete grasp of the most critical and important aspect of AWACS. ”

To say the importance of the airborne number chain communication system, this thing is even more important after the introduction of the on-board computer and digital glass cockpit of the third-generation fighter, and even when it comes to the fifth-generation aircraft, it does not need the early warning aircraft as a platform to realize the direct sharing of information between multiple fighters, and this is the strength of the airborne number chain system after the development to the advanced stage.

However, now, the first-generation airborne JÙ chain system launched by the photoelectric detection system company is still relatively primitive, and it can barely be regarded as being able to keep up with the international mainstream level, according to what Chief Wang said before, it is probably the level of the early 80s of the US imperialists.

But that's all. It is also quite a breakthrough, which means at least in terms of the onboard jù chain system. The Republic is now better than the A-50 early warning aircraft developed by the Soviet Union, and it should still be able to hold its head up after going out in the future.

Vice Chairman Liu sat at the top. I am still very satisfied with the continuous pre-research in the first two years that Chief Master Wang said: "Yes, you have this idea, and you have persevered in it, and now you will be confident when you need to use it!" And I also believe that you have no problem with the onboard jù chain system. But then again, this is also the first breakthrough in China, as long as this system can pass the acceptance of the army, I believe that there are still many places that need it in the future. For example, we say that ≡ dǐng≡diǎn≡ small ≡, .≈.o■s_(); Commander Junzhang, tell me about it! ”

Although the style of painting has become a little fast, it is not uncomfortable. What a character Commander Zhang is. As a naval commander, how can you not know the importance of the number of chains.

I don't know how to evaluate the strength of this Southwest Science and Industry, on the surface, it seems that Southwest Science and Industry is only doing aviation, but now I find that the business of Southwest Science and Industry has begun to invade into new business areas step by step, such as the Navy, of course, it also needs a number of chain systems.

"That's right, you can now realize the digital communication function between large early warning aircraft and combat aircraft, so the Navy's new generation of destroyers don't need to think much about the number chain, you only need to improve this system slightly, and the Navy's shipborne digital chain communication system order will be handed over to you to do!"

The Navy's shipboard number jù chain communication system, which goes without saying too clearly and knows what is going on. What was the level of the warships of the republic before, not only Yang Hui, but almost everyone present was very clear.

"Of course, there is no problem, our system has the potential to be improved to achieve the exchange and command of naval formations. To be able to provide technical services to the Navy, we in Southwest Science and Industry have always been duty-bound, and this time we can let the team that developed the digital chain system go to contact the Navy. Once the requirements are understood, the development of naval solutions can be started immediately. ”

After the breakthrough of this technology of Southwest Science and Industry. The act of directly fishing for the Navy ships across the border was very happy for the bigwigs in the meeting. They are all people who want to be able to do big things with little money, after all, the military spending has been too tight in recent years, and now doing so can at least save a lot of money for the development of the navy's digital chain system.

Seeing that the Navy can directly pick up the leaks, the Air Force is not dissatisfied, this system is not unilaterally funded and developed by the Air Force, it is completely a project funded by the Southwest Science and Industry, and now everyone is the beneficiary of the leakage. Even including Southwest Science and Industry, the wider the application of this system, the more the number of purchases will be, and then it will be a lot of money!

"Well, after the important digital chain communication system is solved, you can take a look at the early warning search radar scheme, which should be the most risky subsystem of our early warning aircraft project, after all, this is a new system of radar design, we have no previous experience, and the research and development of this search radar may take a lot of energy."

The real early warning search radar is not the A-9 fighter airborne radar that can be used after the improvement of the previous one, they are not a kind of thing at all, and now it is necessary to develop a special early warning search radar, which can only be a new research and development.

Although the navy and air force, as well as the bigwigs in charge of equipment research and development, have long been psychologically prepared, when they heard that the development of early warning radar requires a lot of effort and a lot of risks, they still sighed a little disappointed.

Of course, those ideas can only be thought about by themselves, they still know why Southwest Science and Industry did not pre-research that thing, all because the country has not invested a penny, Southwest Science and Industry can fund the research and development of some of the subsystems even if it is very good, where can you expect anything, after all, the research and development of this radar is not so easy to get.

Chief Master Wang just said the specific difficulties, and Yang Hui started at this time according to the lines that he had discussed before coming: "The reason why we have not started to conduct large-scale pre-research on the early warning search radar is mainly because we still don't know what the army means, and in the end, the army wants to get the finished early warning aircraft faster; It is still tolerable to do the project slower, and finally to have a performance that is comparable to the world's most cutting-edge AWACS aircraft. ”

Speed or performance, this is a question that Yang Hui is not clear about now, and only after determining which one to choose, Yang Hui can determine which way to go.

And this problem is actually difficult to unify within the army, and now there are so many bigwigs sitting in the conference room, and everyone's choices are still different.

Air Force: "Of course, we want performance, our Air Force is now mainly home air defense, there is a complete ground radar network, and there is also time for the research and development units to improve the performance of the radar!" Although you should be bold enough to engage in research and development, we want to see what good things can be compared to the most advanced in the world. ”

The Air Force of course chose to perform out of its own operational needs, but the Navy does not think so, the Navy has its own imminent needs, and now it can only sing against the Air Force!
