In the air battle in the Bekaa Valley, the Israeli side must have also used electronic jammers, which made the Syrian Air Force blind in the process of attacking, and they were accustomed to fighting under the guidance of the ground, but the result turned into a hasty battle, and finally was beaten miserably.

And to say that the most developed electronic technology must be the United States, and now, when everyone sees the EA-6B, the envy in their eyes is beyond words.

The plane in front of him actually looks ugly, not at all as majestic and shocking as the tomcat he just saw, and the special electronic jamming machine in front of him looks like a big-headed fly.

The initial prototype of the EA-6 was the A-6 two-seat Intruder attack aircraft. The EA-6B's fuselage was lengthened and reinforced on the basis of the A-6 to accommodate four crew members.

The nose is the front and rear two rows of four cockpits, the surface of the cockpit canopy is plated with a layer of gold film, which looks golden, this layer of gold film is used as an electromagnetic shield, on the one hand, to avoid strong external electromagnetic interference affecting the internal electronic equipment, on the other hand, it is also for the safety of members.

Speaking of electromagnetic radiation, in later generations, people are talking about discoloration, so that there is a special maternity clothes, which is hyped by merchants, in fact, there is no at all, if you want electromagnetic shielding, isolate the electromagnetic waves outside, then you must wrap all the people tightly, head, face, nothing can be exposed to the outside, and the pregnant woman's whole body is covered tightly.

In fact, the radiation of mobile phones and the like has not reached the level of harm to the human body, so there is no need to worry about it, only now, super high-power electromagnetic interference is harmful to the human body.

Including the later use of phased array radar on warships, the sailors who operate it must also undergo a physical examination at certain intervals, and only this megawatt-level electromagnetic radiation can harm the human body, and this electromagnetic radiation is more than 100,000 times that of mobile phone radiation.

Now, standing in front of this ugly-looking electronic warfare plane, everyone can only watch, and you can't touch too much, there are a lot of secrets of the US Navy here.

It is not appropriate to develop an electronic warfare aircraft specifically, so it must be modified on an existing fighter, compared to the prototype, in addition to the addition of two cockpits, another difference is that the 6B has an electronic jamming antenna fairing at the vertical tail.

Of course, this kind of aircraft is still being assembled, and many electronic warfare antennas and the like have not yet been installed, and its main jammer is mounted on the pods of the wings.

At the heart of the EA-6B is the AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system, which can also carry five external electronic jamming pods. One of them was under the belly and four under the wing. Each pod is equipped with two jamming transceivers, which can interfere with one of the seven bands.

The most unique thing is that due to the lack of power generation of this aircraft, these pods are independently powered by themselves, and are powered by a pneumatic fan driving generator at the front of the pod.

This is like the idea of some inventors, installing a fan on a car, using the airflow of the car forward, blowing the fan, the fan providing power, and then using it for the car, it is simply a perpetual motion machine.

Of course, this is impossible, these fans generate electricity, but also increase the resistance, so that the fuel consumption of the engine is greater, far less suitable than directly using the engine to generate electricity, but the power of the generator can not meet the needs.

Everyone looked at this plane quietly, no one spoke, the equipment of the Chinese Air Force is extremely backward, if a war breaks out with foreign countries now, the opponent is a country with advanced electronic technology like the United States, it will definitely be a fiasco.

We can fight bayonets in the air, we are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that the opponent will not give you this opportunity at all.

This is the most frustrating, yet the closest to the truth.

The output of EA-6B electronic reconnaissance aircraft is not high, after all, this kind of aircraft belongs to a kind of support aircraft, and some A-6 attack aircraft are in production, and some models produced before are also being upgraded back to the factory, and the focus of the upgrade is still the electronic system, which can already decide everything in modern warfare.

The Air Force very much wants such an aircraft, with two seats in parallel, and the two pilots can communicate quite easily, and it is also very convenient to attack, but it is a pity that domestic production cannot be produced, and the Air Force has given up the J-7, just because the requirements for parallel two-seat cannot be met, and this way will bring great resistance.

This day's expedition was arranged quite tightly.

After watching the various planes on the production line, it was already noon, and the Grumman factory had already prepared a working meal at noon, and after a full meal, the afternoon inspection began.

"What is here?" When everyone entered a strangely large, empty room, and everyone didn't know why, Pelehaq led everyone in, and said proudly, "This is our microwave chamber." ”

Microwave anechoic chamber, this thing, even Qin Feng doesn't know, only Tu Lao knows its function, which is used to measure the electromagnetic radiation of fighters.

The walls, peaks, and floors here are made of special absorbing materials, such as polyurethane absorbing sponges, etc., when electromagnetic waves are incident on the walls, ceilings, and grounds, most of the electromagnetic waves are absorbed, and transmission and reflection are very rare.

This is just like when a photographer needs to prevent the film from being exposed in a darkroom when cleaning film, this kind of special shielding for electromagnetic radiation is called a microwave anechoic chamber.

Testing wireless communication products and electronic products such as antennas and radars in the darkroom can avoid clutter interference and improve the testing accuracy and efficiency of the equipment under test.

If we have such a set of microwave anechoic chambers, the electromagnetic compatibility of the current Jian-7 fighter and other problems, the false interception of radar that has plagued everyone for a long time, and other problems can be more easily tested here, without having to fly in the sky again and again to find out the cause!

Marconi's company, it can't play ball! Tu Lao secretly thought in his heart, and he asked tentatively: "Such a microwave anechoic chamber is very expensive, right?" ”

"yes, we built it ten years ago, and it cost five million dollars, but it was worth the cost, and we could just lift our Tomcat into the darkroom and take measurements."

Reminiscent of Grumman's ability to build electronic warfare aircraft like the EA-6B, such a dark room is an absolute necessity for them.

"If there is such a microwave anechoic chamber, it can also be studied to reduce the radar reflection area of the aircraft, right?" At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly spoke.
