Originally, the 29th Institute no longer had hope for the sub-bidding project of the J-18 fighter, and they all packed up their things and left, but they were coincidentally intercepted again. After looking back, I found that the person who spoke was actually the head of the largest aviation manufacturing unit in China, but this is not the most important thing, what really made the directors of these 29 institutes interested was the familiar and unfamiliar name that Yang Hui said just now.

That's really full of incredibleness, could there be such a project at this time? No matter from that aspect, this is an impossible thing, but thinking of the various unusual things of the Southwest Science and Industry unit, there are some expectations in the bottom of my heart, maybe other units say this is just a joke, but the Southwest Science and Industry is different, it is a company that specializes in breaking the routine and changing the impossible existence.

"Electronic warfare aircraft? Southwest Science and Industry is still planning to involve this aspect? This is not a project that can be done by doing, not to mention whether there is a military scientific research project in China that is likely to be on the University of Malaysia, even if it is to be launched, Southwest Science and Industry will definitely not have the energy to win this project again, so"

Although there are some expectations in my heart, I still have to hold an absolute skeptical attitude, this is a habit that has been cultivated for many years, everything must be bad first, which can leave enough room for myself, but this kind of worry must be superfluous here in Southwest Science and Industry, it is really Yang Hui's plan is still reasonable, and the feasibility is still relatively high.

After putting down the luggage in his hand, he had a good talk with the director of the 29 institutes, and this statement was out of control.

When it comes to this electronic warfare aircraft, it has never needed to painstakingly design a special airborne platform. The most typical ones are the electronic warfare aircraft of the United States, RC-135 and EC-130, which are improved from large military transport aircraft. Its combat capability is simply perverted, and there were two EC-130s in the Taiwan Strait crisis that year. And these two planes really taught the entire army of the republic a good lesson, after the two EC-130s were driven out at that time, it was almost difficult for the air defense radar positions on this side of the Taiwan Strait to work normally.

This is the capability of electronic warfare aircraft, relying on their own powerful electronic warfare capabilities, especially electronic warfare aircraft that use large transport aircraft as platforms. However, the object of the Southwest Science and Industry Idea is obviously not this kind of large-scale electronic warfare aircraft that can give full play to its combat capability by occupying absolute air supremacy; although this kind of aircraft is good, it is absolutely not suitable for the operational environment of the Republic in the next 20 years, because the surrounding environment of the Republic is too complicated, and it is really difficult and difficult to completely control air power.

However, we should not stop developing electronic warfare aircraft just because we cannot master air supremacy. Historical experience tells us that electronic warfare is a simpler and more violent task, and what is pursued is the violent crushing of asymmetric warfare and electromagnetic warfare capabilities. Although it did not have the energy to develop large and complete electronic warfare aircraft, in addition to the electronic warfare aircraft improved from large transport aircraft, the US imperialists, the pioneer of electronic warfare, also came up with another plan.

"Why do you want to start a separate project? What we need is only to improve on the basis of existing combat aircraft, the goal is similar to EF-111, F-4G, EA-6B electronic warfare aircraft, through the improvement of existing combat aircraft can be done, and our J-18 is the most suitable platform. ”

At this time, Yang Hui was still thinking relatively simply, and he didn't dare to think about the perverted existence of the last US imperialist EA-18G. To achieve full-spectrum interference like the EA-18G, it seems that there is still a long way to go in terms of the current capabilities of the Republic.

The US imperialists were able to reach this level first of all because the EA-18G was developed after 2000. And how fast the update cycle of electronic equipment is well known, using the electronic technology of the late 80s and early 90s of the Republic to develop the electronic technology developed by the US imperialists after 2000. It's not that Yang Hui is unwilling to think of more ways, it's just that the gap in this hardware is too big. Even if Yang Hui has the power to return to heaven, he can't do it.

Unless he can have the legendary two-way space-time door, he can go back to 2010 to purchase electronic components. Otherwise, don't even think about this kind of thought, it's all in vain anyway.

"An electronic warfare aircraft like the EF-111? That sounds interesting. Being able to strike at targets with special electronic characteristics is already a considerable breakthrough, and the most important combat target of electronic warfare aircraft should be the radar system on the ground, which can attack and paralyze the enemy's radar system. ”

The director of the 29th Institute is not a mediocre person, since he is a research institute specializing in electronic countermeasures, he can still understand Yang Hui's ideas very clearly, and he also quickly gave a feasibility assessment of the plan, which alone is enough.

"That's right, what we need is such an electronic warfare aircraft improved on the J-18 fighter, with the current level of avionics technology of Southwest Science and Industry, only two pilots can meet the most basic ground electromagnetic information suppression operation, and the two-seat J-18 fighter is also our Southwest Science and Industry must develop."

As for the question of whether the electronic warfare aircraft is better with a two-person crew or a four-person crew is better, it is natural to say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, but in Yang Hui's view, it still depends on how the design of the flight platform comes from as the starting point of the design.

The EA-6 of the United States is an improvement from the A-6 attack aircraft, and the design prototype was originally a side-by-side two-seater, and of course there is no problem with adding two seats to the back, but those fighters that were originally designed to be serial such as the F-4 fighter jet, even if you want to break your head, it is impossible to install a third seat.

The F-4G of the US imperialists was designed early, right? No matter how advanced the electronic industry of the United States imperialism was at that time, the technical level of the current republic must be achievable.

F-4G electronic warfare aircraft can be used in the Iraq War, with anti-radiation missiles hit the Iraqi ground radar dare not start, naturally it also shows that the electronic warfare aircraft designed by this idea is still very combat-capable, the current Southwest Science and Industry on the basis of the J-18 development of two-seat electronic warfare aircraft, of course, is also very necessary.

"J-18 based on the development of parallel two-seat electronic warfare aircraft, under the preliminary assessment, I feel that it is a very promising project, you Southwest Science and Industry side does not even need to make too many improvements to the fuselage, anyway, you have to design a two-seat J-18 fighter trainer, this will not be more scientific research forces dispersed, more only need our 29 airborne electronic warfare pods to work hard, right?"

For this point, Yang Hui did not give any rebuttal, according to his meaning, he originally planned to use electronic warfare pods to plug electronic warfare equipment, and even Yang Hui thought that even the power supply of the pod should be maintained by the pod itself as much as possible, such as generating electricity through the wind turbine at the front end of the pod, which is also a common practice for many pods that consume huge amounts of electricity.

"Our J-18 has a total of 13 hardpoints, which can be used to mount electronic warfare pods are about three heavy hardpoints, as well as two wingtip pods, these five hardpoints should be enough to meet the needs of 29 to install a complete electronic warfare system, right?"

Although it is a question, but Yang Hui's plan is obviously unquestionable, giving such five hanging points is already quite a concession, if it is not for the J-18 more hanging points, who would dare to be so capricious, you see if it is Hongdu's change of swept wing plan, it dares to give up five hanging points so chic!
