The phased array radar was slapped in the face by the older generation of pulse-Dopre flat slit radar with the same caliber and weight, and only the Japanese could do it. Of course, it was not without benefit that Japan did this, at least the crown of the world's first fighter aircraft-borne active phased array radar was taken down.

After knowing the consequences of forcibly pretending to be forced if the foundation is not strong, and scanning the surrounding situation, Vice Chairman Liu immediately objected. "If this is the case, I don't think there is any need to forcibly launch the active phased array radar project now, the AWACS project is too long, and then there will be people at the top of the country who will soon stand up and oppose it, so we should try to think of other ways as well." ”

If the project drags on for too long, it is indeed easy to make investors impatient in the later stage, and now Vice Chairman Liu's consideration is not from a technical point of view, but it is indeed very reasonable, and it has attracted everyone's approval.

"Well, it seems that we can't achieve corner overtaking this time, although it is a little regrettable, but it is not without gains, at least we know that if we want to develop advanced active phased array radar, we need to develop qualified TR components first, and this little thing is related to many large-scale radar projects in the future, I think it is necessary to carry out the research and development of a new generation of high-power TR components, what do you think?"

The Air Force has learned a lot over the years, at least this time, after the popularization of science by Chief Master Wang, it understands the importance of a new generation of high-power TR components, and can propose to carry out research and development work without specific model traction, which is already a considerable breakthrough in ideology.

Among the four major military branches, in fact, everyone has a demand for a new generation of high-power meter TR components, and the army is slightly smaller, generally that is, artillery radar, field air defense, etc.; Although there is a need for the second artillery. But there is no need to build large-scale ground-based phased array early warning radar stations, and a few are almost enough.

Therefore, the Air Force's words are actually for the Navy, and it is true that you want to say that the Air Force has a great demand for this thing, but if you calculate it carefully, you will find that the Navy's demand for this thing is definitely the most demanded among the four major military branches. Needless to say, naval aviation, airborne phased array radars are certainly indispensable. And the real demand is the Aegis ship, which will definitely be launched in the future, and the four-sided shield equipped with that thing is simply a whale swallowing a cow.

Therefore, the Navy is still very interested in this point, and it is indeed necessary to start this kind of basic key scientific research project in advance: "It makes sense, we should do this, didn't it just now say that the 14th Institute has solved the development of low-power TR components?" Now continue to make additional allocations and let them find ways to increase the power of TR modules. They have the ability. ”

Well, the 14 institutes in Jinling are like this, and without even knowing it, they effortlessly got a key project, which can be said to be effortless. In a word, the experienced is different, I didn't see that even the navy, which has always been optimistic about Southwest Science and Industry, didn't even ask Southwest Science and Industry?

This is due to the fact that 14 has a deep background in phased array radar, just like the dominant position of the optoelectronic detection system company in the AWACS project. are all unshakable.

Regardless of the current Southwest Science and Industry or Chief Engineer Wang, no one has any intention of taking down the research and development task of TR components. Now the most important thing for the entire photoelectric detection system company is two directions: early warning aircraft and optoelectronic observation and sighting system, and there is no extra energy to compete with the 14 in the research and development of TR components.

In this way, Mr. Wang expressed his thoughts at the first time: "That's right, now it is true that the 14 institutes should continue to improve the power of TR modules, considering the continuity of the project, as long as the power goes up." It is also acceptable to use the older generation of silicon bielectrode manufacturing. ”

The so-called acceptability of Chief Engineer Wang is actually more for the consideration of the navy, the old silicon bipolaride heat, huge power consumption, as an airborne radar is difficult to make a big difference, they can only be used on the navy's warships to accept the problem of power consumption, heat generation.

You don't see the four big shields of the 052C destroyer facing the navy, why is the outer cover curved? That's because it is necessary to use a water cooling solution with better heat dissipation advantages. It was only when it came to the 052D project that the old-fashioned silicon tube TR components were replaced with a facelift.

Although the current Chief Engineer Wang does not have the ability to predict the future, from the perspective of a professional, he must know how these things can be used, so he can continue to support the power increase of the older generation of TR modules without knowing the future.

The experts all said that there was no problem, and the navy and air force here were naturally happy: "Okay, let's settle this matter, so what is the other project that Chief Master Wang said can quickly get the finished product?" Say it too, let's hear it! ”

In fact, at the beginning, I probably guessed that in the end, the army would choose to take the road of pulse Doppler radar, and this is exactly what Chief Wang is happy to see.

"The pursuit of research and development speed, we can choose to develop conventional pulse Doppler radar, we have been equipped with this radar since the eighties, and now there are still 10 and 18 aircraft in China decided to use pulse Doppler radar, not to mention anything else, at least we have no problem with the basic components of the radar, as long as the structural design is reasonable, we can guarantee that we can come up with qualified radar products within three years."

This is not a big deal, the current Chief Master Wang has long been full of talents, although there was no development of early warning radar before, but it is still the same sentence, pre-research has not been broken.

It will take three years to develop a qualified radar, although the time is quite tight, but it is not impossible, don't you see that the northern woolly bear is about to fall? Now we are waiting for Yang Hui to hurry up and dig up people and materials, so as to rescue and inherit the precious assets of socialism.

Of course, the current Yang Hui will definitely not talk about the problems of the Soviet Union, and this is not very good to say.

"Chief Master Wang said that there is no problem, Southwest Science and Industry has not given up the research on early warning aircraft, although the research on the radar is not as mature as the data link, but we can also say with great certainty that it is the best in this area in China, it only takes three years, we dare to make a military order!"

This is pulled to the military order again, what else can the leaders of the meeting say, now the entire republic is only the southwest science and industry has the strength to undertake this task, let other units do it I am afraid it is not as good, now in addition to trust or only trust.

"It's enough to have your words, I will dispense with the military order, I just need you to make the project well."

After saying that, Commander Liu also felt a pain in his heart, and now he has launched an early warning aircraft project, and this time I am afraid it will be another costly project. But fortunately, the platform is ready-made, and the data link also has mature products that can be used, and all that is needed now is to invest in radar research, which does not cost much money.

As for the time when the radar is installed and tested three years later, it is not something that can be considered now. (To be continued.) )
