Chapter 927: Amazon Surveillance System
Before 2000, the early warning aircraft was definitely a configuration that only a big country could have, even if in the 90s there have been a variety of early warning aircraft used by small and medium-sized countries, the most typical of which is Sweden was the first to open this precedent, you must know that when the S-100B "Hundred-Eyed Giant" early warning aircraft equipped with the "Aili Eye" aircraft with an active phased array early warning radar was made public, it was a sensation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The reason why Sweden's "early warning aircraft" will intersect with Brazil is that we must talk about another issue, and after we have figured it out, we can know more clearly why Brazil is interested in the "Eli Eye" airborne active phased array early warning radar system.
In fact, in order to effectively monitor the vast Amazon River region, the Brazilian Government and the Brazilian Air Force began to implement the "Amazon Surveillance System" project in 1994, and the entire project is a comprehensive reconnaissance and surveillance system, which includes multiple subsystems such as aerial surveillance, ground remote sensing, maritime patrol and strike, and the entire plan is to equip more than 100 aircraft of various types in more than 10 years.
This is the construction of a whole monitoring system, in which hundreds of various types of aircraft purchase orders can completely put the general contractor full of oil, as for the air patrol monitoring aircraft required by this is not very important, which can only account for 15% of the entire project at most The procurement plan is the sky.
You must know that even in the last face, Brazil finally ordered only five EMB-145SA surveillance aircraft equipped with "Eriyan" aircraft carrying active phased array early warning radar, followed by three EMB-145RS remote sensing aircraft, and then Embraer with the help of the French Thomson radio company, officially launched the EMB-145 early warning and command aircraft on May 22, 1999, obtained aviation certification in June 2002, and in July of the same year, the first early warning and command aircraft was delivered to the Brazilian Air ForceOn December 12, 2003, a total of five aircraft of the same type entered service with the Brazilian Air Force.
In general, the Brazilian government has developed the "Amazon Surveillance System" with the EMB-145 passenger aircraft as a platform, which is actually a complete set of special aircraft procurement projects, but now since the Brazilian government is willing to purchase MPC-75 as a platform to replace the EMB-145 platform, this proves that there is a gap in front of the southwest of AVIC, and after this seam, it is a delicacy that countless flies flock to.
Since the Brazilian side has such an idea, Yang Hui said that our opportunity has finally come, with the current ability of AVIC Southwest, it seems that it can also compete for the general contractor of the project, if it is a turnkey project, it should be a result that the Brazilian government and the army will be quite satisfied.
Immediately asked to stop the scheduled itinerary: "The Brazilian side wants to talk to us about the purchase of MPC-75 as a special aircraft platform, which proves that Brazil must have a big project to build, and now that we have the corresponding opportunity, we must strive for it." Now, I'm going to inquire about the situation in detail, and you immediately contact the domestic photoelectric detection system company to bring over the remote sensing data of the patrol UAV under development, as well as the data of the previous air police 100 early warning command system, I feel that it must be of great use here. ”
At this time, Yang Hui already had a rough plan and concept in his heart, since Brazil is ready to use MPC-75 as a platform to play big, Yang Hui doesn't mind accompanying Brazil to have a good time, anyway, this is not in the way, maybe it can be done.
Really want to say that Brazil's Amazon surveillance system this time, they are actually more inclined to patrol and monitor in the previous one, and their role is more in internal peacekeeping, combating smuggling and crime, so the Brazilian army in the previous one did not benefit much in the whole project, but now it's good, Yang Hui will definitely give him a high-tech dual-use Amazon surveillance system that is blinding.
Don't dare to say anything else, Yang Hui believes that this time his initial idea can definitely fool the Brazilian army, you must know that the Amazon surveillance system of the previous face was not planned to be an authentic early warning aircraft at the beginning, and it was not until 2000 that the EMB-145 was added to the body with the help of France, but this command and information processing capabilities are also ......
According to the address left by the person who came to Brazil just now, it is relatively easy to find the project leader in charge of the entire Amazon surveillance system this time, seeing that he is obviously a person from the Brazilian military, this is a new situation, if the entire project is decided by the Brazilian military, the possibility of winning the project this time has further increased!
So it's even simpler: "I heard that your country plans to purchase MPC-75 as a special aircraft platform this time, which makes me feel very honored, and I also believe that the excellent performance of the MPC-75 platform can maximize the performance of airborne special equipment. ”
Although Yang Hui himself has already known about the situation this time, but now that there is a new situation in this plane, he still needs to be polite, and wait for the Brazilian army to take the initiative to introduce the situation, so that he can "prescribe the right medicine".
As the person in charge of the entire Amazon surveillance system, he must have known about the purchase of MPC-75 as an airborne platform for a long time, and Yang Hui came to communicate about the project this time, which was indeed expected.
"That's right, we plan to purchase about 10 MPC-75 as a special platform, after installing our specific equipment, to be able to achieve the specific functions we need now, the reason why we fancy MPC-75 this time is because the fuselage section of this aircraft is spacious enough to meet the needs of all kinds of equipment we want."
The project director knows very well the advantages of the MPC-75, and the reason why the MPC-75 was selected is also because of the spacious interior of this aircraft, and the technical ability of AVIC Southwest in special aircraft modification and manufacturing is quite good, after all the advantages are combined, the MPC-75 undoubtedly wins.
As for what equipment to be installed in the purchase of this aircraft, it must also be summed up with AVIC Southwest: "The purchase of this aircraft should be equipped with the "Aili Eye" airborne active phased array early warning radar, which may have some new changes in the aerodynamic design of the aircraft, but I believe that with the technical ability of AVIC Southwest, there is no problem in completing these new aerodynamic designs. It is also based on these considerations that MPC-75 will be chosen this time, I wonder if AVIC Southwest can meet these requirements? (To be continued.) )
