Chapter 505: Lasers
Using a rocket launch nest to carry out ground strikes, although this kind of thing can be had, but its attack and destruction capabilities are not easy to say, and the only bright spot is that it is cheap and can carry out covering attacks.
Compared with regular ground attack bombs, this kind of thing is not at the same level at all, not to mention the Navy and the Science and Technology Commission, and even the Air Force can't help it.
"This is not right, rockets are definitely not comparable with heavy ground bombs, according to Chief Designer Li, it is indispensable to develop precision ground attack ammunition."
There are automatically people in the Air Force who stand up to support the development of precision-guided munitions, and this is a normal phenomenon, otherwise the bitter speech will really have no effect.
As soon as the words fell, the Navy then stood up again and expressed its support for the development of precision-guided munitions.
"The demand for precision-guided munitions is indispensable, and this is the conclusion that the Navy has reached through the last operation against Vietnam, and without professional precision-guided munitions, it is impossible to complete the destruction of targets in order to achieve the dispatch of small aircraft groups."
Director Ding looked at the navy and air force with some surprise, it is naturally good that the two branches of the military can reach a consensus, but now the consensus reached is a project that costs a lot of money, which is ...... for the Science and Technology Commission
After thinking about it, he cast an inquiring glance at Chief Master Li on the stage, and consulted: "Guided munitions are very good, this means that Southwest Science and Industry is planning to develop this guided munitions?" I think you don't think you have any experience in developing this thing, not even a conventional free-fall munition. ”
Seeing that Director Ding asked at this time whether the Southwest Science and Industry was preparing to develop guided munitions, he also laughed, how could such a thing as developing ammunition be possible.
Seeing that a bidding meeting for the new annihilation has a tendency to crooked. Even Chief Master Li, who first introduced the topic here, was a little unexpected, and his mention of precision-guided munitions was just an introduction.
What I really want to say is: "It is necessary to develop precision-guided munitions." We in Southwest Science and Industry are also fully supportive. But this time it is about the bidding meeting of the new annihilation project, and all we can do in Southwest Science and Industry is how to realize the delivery of ground-guided attack ammunition. ”
It's hard to say anything about a single conversation. It's better to be simple and rude, and signal the staff to replace the slides and take out another killer feature of the Southwest Science and Industry Program.
After confirming that there was no problem with the content on the screen, he began to introduce a complete system that can realize the delivery of precision-guided munitions based on the information on the screen.
"This is the key to the Southwest Science and Industry Program to achieve precision ground attack, we call it laser targeting and infrared navigation system, with which it can effectively guide laser-guided bombs, and even carry out ultra-low-altitude raids at night."
For the laser targeting and infrared navigation system just mentioned, you can literally understand what it is. In particular, the last talk of realizing the guidance of bomb dropping is even more unmistakably indicative of what this thing is for.
The so-called guidance is the key to the ability of all smart munitions to achieve precise ground attacks.
For example, air-to-air missiles can attack enemy planes flying in the air by relying on radio and infrared guidance, and to achieve guidance, it is necessary for the on-board radar to send radio signals to continuously illuminate the target.
In the same way, ground-based guided munitions still need to have one or more guidance methods, and precision-guided munitions need to achieve hits. There is still a need for guidance.
The laser aiming mentioned by Chief Engineer Li is the most common use of guided bombs, and it is also the earliest way to use precision-guided bombs.
"Laser-guided? This is now the most popular guidance method in Western countries, Southwest Science and Industry means that you are only responsible for the development of laser irradiation, aiming system, and ammunition is developed by another unit of our choice? ”
At this time, Director Ding finally understood what Southwest Science and Technology wanted to express. But the Southwest Science and Industry has set the guidance method of guided munitions, is this a little too uneasy to take the Science and Technology Commission and the army?
It should be said that the Southwest Science and Industry took the initiative to consider the new fighter and enhance the combat capability of the fighter. This is definitely what the army and the Science and Technology Commission like, but the Southwest Science and Industry directly determined the type of guided munitions. This made the Science and Technology Commission and the army still a little uncomfortable.
"The development of a laser targeting system, which means that this aircraft can only use laser-guided bombs? About what kind of guidance to use. This can only be decided after comprehensive consideration by our Science and Technology Commission and the military, and you are thinking too early now. ”
Director Ding spoke like this, naturally everyone could feel the dissatisfaction in the heart of the Science and Technology Commission, so that several other bidding units were happy, now it's okay!
Who told you to pretend to be forced, and you want to bypass the army's direct guidance method, this is overloading, right?
Obviously, I can feel the schadenfreude of other units, but Yang Hui does not have any sense of surprise, this answer of the Science and Technology Commission is normal, but the precision guidance scheme given by the Southwest Science and Industry is indeed the most suitable plan for the national conditions now.
It is true that there are many types of guidance for ground attack munitions, such as laser guidance, radio guidance, television guidance, satellite guidance, and so on......
Although there are many types, the things that are most suitable for the republic are now only laser-guided munitions.
The Science and Technology Commission is dissatisfied, but Chief Li still insists on using the laser guidance method, and what is needed now is to talk about the advantages of laser guidance and convince the Science and Technology Commission and the army, so the chance of success of the Southwest Science and Industry Program will be greater.
"The use of laser guidance, this is because our domestic laser technology is the most sufficient, compared with other guidance methods it is more likely to achieve it in technology, after all, the 863 plan has been listed as a major development direction."
The 863 Project, which is a high-tech research and development program that is familiar to all the people of the Republic in the last year, has definitely brought a lot of benefits.
Not to mention the benefits brought by other projects of the 863 Project, the huge benefits brought by the laser field alone have allowed the Republic to rush to the forefront of the world in this field.
The laser sintering manufacturing and 3D printing technology that broke out in later generations are at the forefront of the manufacturing field, and the anti-laser ranging device of the Type 99 tank and the high-power laser ablation weapon used to directly attack military targets are all awesome.
With the country's large-scale investment in the laser field in the 863 Program, the Republic machine occupies the forefront of the world in laser generators, and the United States needs to import the optical crystals of the Republic.
Japan's proud ultra-precision lithography machine also imports the world's only laser generator, which is a cutting-edge technology.
These technologies are at the forefront of the Republic's scientific and technological presence, but they are not known to most people in the previous one, either because some people turn a blind eye to this choice, or because the country lags behind in the field of propaganda.
And now, three full years have passed since the establishment of the 863 Project, and although it is not yet known what has been done in these three years, it is necessary to take a free ride on the 863 Project. Give a complete set of laser-guided munitions, which is definitely the most economical and cost-effective.
As Chief Engineer Li talked about the 863 plan, everyone who knew about this project finally understood the painstaking efforts of Southwest Science and Industry, and the first to change their attitude was Director Ding.
"This is a very good consideration, the 863 plan will be laser technology as the most cutting-edge development project, our laser guided weapon system technology technology content is quite small in this era of laser development, the choice of laser guidance is really good."
Commander Liu was also quite satisfied at this time, and he must applaud the comprehensive consideration of the domestic technical level of Southwest Science and Industry and the choice of technical route according to local conditions.
"Yes, the 863 program does not include aviation technology, but that doesn't mean that we can't use the results of the 863 program to develop ourselves, and I think it's feasible." (To be continued.) )
