To put it bluntly, the weapon that Academician Wang wants to take out this time is nothing else, it is the last few years of the 80s during the honeymoon period between the Republic and the United States, the Y-7 early warning/patrol aircraft jointly developed by AVIC Southwest and Grumman, and the plan at that time was to use more than 10 second-hand AWG-9 radars bought from Iran for refurbishment, and then use them as radars for early warning and patrol. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that due to well-known reasons, even in this plane, the project ended in nothing, but fortunately, Yang Hui released the news that caused a misunderstanding among the military of the Republic of China, and asked to fly back a prototype for testing, but he didn't expect that this prototype would become the internal museum collection of the Southwest Special Aircraft Company, which is really unexpected.

And now turn around and look at the AWG-9 radar that was planned to be used for the Yun-7 early warning/patrol aircraft, as a multi-purpose weapon control radar used on the F-14, the data is still very good, the detection range of fighters can be 277km, and the detection range of cruise missiles is 112km, and the scanning azimuth of the radar is more suitable.

As a radar with an azimuth angle just reaching plus or minus 65 degrees, the pitch angle is 8 lines, so the whole data is quite good, and it happens to be able to fill the radar blind spot of the Ericsson Eye, the biggest problem is that you need to install one before and after, but this is not a problem, and it is completely within an acceptable range.

The data of AWG-9 is only a product made by the United States with electronic technology in the 60s, but it is still completely sufficient, but if it is to be replaced with the Republic version that is now under development, that is, the AWG-9 improved radar specially equipped by the Southwest Special Aircraft Company for the domestic J-11, then the performance may be even better.

At this time, look at the "Ericsson Eye" radar has a maximum combat range of 450 kilometers, but its detection range of fighter size targets is only 330 kilometers, and the data of AWG-9 of 277km is not too different, it can detect cruise missiles within 150 kilometers, which is still within the tolerable range compared with the detection of cruise missiles of AWG-9 at a distance of 112km.

That is to say, if you really use two large-caliber fighter airborne fire control radars, this guy is the existence of hanging bombs, and it is completely feasible to ensure 360-degree detection without dead ends, and if you really use the combat airborne fire control radar to install it this time, there will definitely be more surprising performance at that time, after all, this is the fire control radar used on the fighter!

........

"Come in, now you are the first foreigner to enter this collection, but it doesn't matter, now what you care about should be this, a large-caliber airborne fire control radar is installed on the Yun-7 early warning / patrol aircraft, we mainly look at the radar installed on this aircraft, which can ensure the detection azimuth angle of plus or minus 65 degrees forward, ensure the radar detection range of 277km for the fighter, and ......"

With the deepening of the explanation, the technical director sent by Brazil to contact the technical problem understands what path this guy is taking, and after thinking about it carefully, he knows that if such a Lei Jiang is installed on Brazil's early warning aircraft one after the other, there will definitely be no problem in performance.

And look at the appearance of this prototype, it should also be the project to a very deep stage of development, but I don't know what the reason for the end led to the disappearance of this type of aircraft, if this aircraft is finally successfully developed, this should be the most suitable patrol aircraft for Amazon's surveillance system.

After all, if you really want to be honest, the use of Ericsson's Eye early warning radar as a civilian surveillance system does have a feeling of high or low.

It's still quite a pity in my heart.,But at this time's regret is actually useless.,Now the Amazon surveillance system has embarked on another path of development.,The whole system has become a more military-oriented demand.,And the civilian side is just a part-time job.,A pretense project.,At this time, you need to use a standard early warning aircraft.。

This is also standing outside the red line set by the side, leaning forward with all his might, and the other head wants to reach into the inside of the plane to see: "This plane... There shouldn't be any major problems with this aircraft, but I think it's a non-technical reason to cause the project to be launched, right? ”

For the Yun-7 early warning / patrol aircraft, in fact, there is not much need to say anything secret, after all, this is an aircraft that was not put into service in the end, and the United States knows absolutely a lot of information about this model, so there is no need to worry too much about the situation, and it will be said when it is said.

"Actually, there is nothing, this project was cooperated with the United States back then, and then it was discontinued due to political reasons, and then our republic itself developed a special early warning aircraft with better performance, that is, the early warning aircraft that you saw before was delivered and flew away. Now this project is completely technically fine for our company, and this time we want to transplant the relevant technology to your AWACS project in Brazil, so that we can learn from each other's strengths. ”

While talking, the two walked to the other side of the plane, that is, where an airborne radar was displayed, and the number of this radar was very clearly written in the introduction information: AWG-9, an airborne large-caliber radar from the F-14 Tomcat, and the performance data was also roughly listed.

It is this long list of radar data that is what finally impressed the Brazilian military, you must know that the data written on it is simply a function of hanging the sky for an AWACS aircraft.

First of all, this guy can guide the AIM-54 Immortal Bird long-range air-to-air missile, which is specially developed by the United States to fight Soviet bombers, and its ultra-long range is not only used for interceptors and large aircraft, but also after being equipped with large early warning aircraft, it is even more powerful.

Think about it, after installing a radar like AWG-9, is it difficult for a big man like an AWACS aircraft to carry two long-range air-to-air missiles?

Anyway, there is an AWG-9 fire control radar installed on the aircraft, plus a simple fire control system, all the conditions required for the launch of two long-range air-to-air missiles can be met, that is to say, according to the plan given by Academician Wang to improve the design, this time Brazil's early warning aircraft will break the fixed thinking in the development route of early warning aircraft, and an outlier that can carry and guide and launch medium and long-range air-to-air missiles has appeared.

But this kind of outlier can sound like a chilling feeling, you must know that this kind of early warning aircraft carrying long-range air-to-air missiles can actually make a cameo appearance as a large interceptor, even if its speed is slow, but there is no problem with this.

Anyway, Brazil doesn't plan to use AWACS to intercept any large bombers or anything like that, it only needs to bring two medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles, which is still not too much for self-protection!

What's more, with the airborne multifunctional fire control radar, is it only air-to-air that can be done? In fact, if you don't carry air-to-air missiles, it seems that it is okay to carry two cruise missiles when you want to pretend to be forced, or you can also carry two anti-ship missiles to pose a greater threat to surface ships.

You must know that on May 17, 1987, during the Iran-Iraq War, when the USS Stark, a missile frigate of the US Navy, was cruising in the Persian Gulf, the warship sailed three kilometers away from the Iranian coastal engagement zone declared by Iraq.

The results of the post-mortem investigation were quite dramatic, and the attack was only carried out by a modified Falcon 50 business jet from Iraq, and the reason why this business jet was so awesome was that the business jet was equipped with the "Celaeno" IVM radar, which is the multifunctional fire control radar used on the Mirage fighter.
