So since it is a high-end custom fighter for local tyrants, it is fundamentally different from the previous J-18 design according to the needs of the domestic navy and air force, and the cost of various compressed fighters, for which Yang Hui even had various ideas. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that when it comes to professional technology, it is obviously more appropriate for the chief designer Hu Jianxing, who has been sitting on the side for a long time, to say that the technical problems said by the chief designer are definitely much more reliable than those said by the general manager in charge of administration like Yang Hui.

"If we can really wait until 2000 to finalize the delivery, we can bring a greater technological breakthrough in the J-18U fighter program, compared to the basic type that has just completed the design and finalization, it can have a large range of performance upgrades, specifically let us J-18U project chief designer to introduce, you can see what are the places where we can carry out special upgrades for the UAE this time."

Finally, it's his turn to perform, and Chief Designer Hu, who looks about the same age as Yang Hui, is still a little excited, and it's finally his turn to show his skills.

Immediately took out a stack of materials from the briefcase, no matter how good the conference room provided in the hotel must not have the corresponding aerospace special data presentation equipment, but it doesn't matter, fortunately this time I brought a No. 0 drawing, spread on the large conference table can still play a certain effect, other subsystem upgrade kits are general A4 paper on the line, and the specific is almost enough.

This is the J-18U structure and overall drawings that we printed before we came, highlighting several new technologies added for the special needs of the UAE, then the radar used in this aircraft will be changed from the old PD radar used by our previous J-18 to the active electronic scanning phased array radar design, the radar can perform a variety of combat missions such as air, ground, and sea, and the overall performance is a qualitative leap compared with the PD radar currently in use. ”

Then, according to the overall shape design of the radar given on the A4 drawing fan, it is actually quite eye-catching, and the data listed in the blank space is even more dazzling, and the head-on radar search range of the ordinary third-generation aircraft in the air combat index is greater than 150km, which can track 14 targets at the same time, and display 8, more synthetic aperture, beam sharpening and other working bodies. The system will ensure the realization of the terrain mapping function, and provide all the data required for ultra-low-altitude terrain tracking and ground attack. ”

The active electric sweep phased array radar is actually far more functional than the ordinary PD radar, and the new radar configured for the J-18 this time is completely the same radar prepared by the Changhong Factory for Hongdu Qingsi before, and it is naturally good in the performance of the radar.

As for the manufacturing technology of airborne TR components imported from Israel by Changhong Factory in the 80s, it must not be able to compare the performance with the new generation of TR components developed by the US imperialists in the 90s, but it is just that this active electric sweep phased array radar is much more powerful than PD radar in terms of multi-purpose, and it can also make people feel taller.

But it is such an active phased array radar, which is always stronger than the machine-swept PD radar in terms of corresponding multi-purpose, so there must be no problem with the J-18 using the new phased array radar, which should be, as for whether the oil tyrants in the UAE will take the phased array radar configured by the J-18 to compare with the radar provided by the US imperialism, this is for sure.

And there is no doubt that the radar provided by the J-18 will lag behind the American goods in terms of performance, but if we get rid of the American radar hanging and compare it with the European Shuangfeng and Su-30, I am afraid that the color of the goods will have to change positions, which is the institutional advantage of active phased array radar.

"How about this radar? I've been waiting until now, except for the two bidding models proposed by the United States, this should be the only model that clearly indicates that it can get its hands on an active phased array radar around the year 2000, so I think the radar system configuration of this aircraft is sufficient, and we can consider it, right? ”

After all, it is an active phased array radar, and after pulling it out, it directly overpowers the PD and passive phased array radars of many other fighters in the aura.

"I think what they said is still relatively feasible, and the fighter provider that can provide active phased array radar will definitely not be too weak in terms of comprehensive technology in all aspects, and the electronic warfare capabilities of active phased array radars have not been introduced before, I believe that in terms of their technical capabilities, they must have used and developed the electronic warfare capabilities of fighters, right?"

Speaking of which, the UAE is still quite knowledgeable, and this is not just a simple knowledge, more importantly, it is also very good at catching up with fashion, before the Gulf War, the United States used electronic warfare aircraft to suppress and strike at Iraq's air defense forces, which directly paralyzed the entire Iraqi communications and radar system, so after seeing the awesomeness of electronic warfare, the UAE of course also needs electronic warfare capabilities.

And it is very embarrassing that the biggest awesome thing about the active phased array radar is that its multi-purpose combat capability can carry out preliminary electronic warfare confrontation, and the well-informed UAE professionals did not hesitate to put forward an important capability that General Master Hu omitted.

It's just that as far as the chief designer of a project like Hu Jianxing is concerned, will he really miss an important combat capability of the active phased array radar? Naturally, these are also impossible, the reason why the radar's electronic warfare capabilities are not listed at the same time is because the electronic warfare capability of the J-18 is an important subsystem that needs to be pulled out separately, which is far more than the electronic warfare capability of the airborne phased array radar, and the electronic warfare capability of the J-18 is completely a complete set of design.

"The general active phased array radar can indeed have certain electronic warfare capabilities, but these capabilities can usually only be regarded as a small part of the electronic warfare capabilities of the array designed for the J-18, you can see our introduction to the J-18 two-seat electronic warfare aircraft, according to the requirements we can even install a complete set of electronic warfare systems inside the conformal fuel tank without occupying any external attachment points."

Fox tail, this is absolutely fox tail, and it is also the most explosive configuration has finally come out, although the use of active phased array radar has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of J-18, but it is still difficult to achieve an overwhelming advantage in combat, then it is necessary to have the idea of asymmetric combat.

What is needed is to install as much powerful electronic warfare equipment as possible without occupying the fighter anchorage, and it is best to reach the EA-18G roaring level, which is an artifact that can pick the mother!

The J-18U is equipped with an active phased array radar, and then the electronic warfare equipment developed by the 29 is taken out of the original pod and integrated into the conformal fuel tanks on the left and right.
