Chapter Eighty-Six: Spitfire Pushes Crosslinking

"The MiG-25 fighter we are flying now, if equipped with a fly-by-wire system, can be used as a combat aircraft not only as an interceptor, but also as a fighter to fight enemy aircraft. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Andrei continued.

Although Andrei really wanted to discuss the Su-27, but Andrei knew that what should not be said must not be said, and now, the T-10 project within the Sukhoi Design Bureau, which is a top-secret project, even Andropov may not know, if he says it, he will definitely be arrested as a spy, and even Andropov will not be able to protect himself.

Therefore, Andrei can only start with the MiG-25 he piloted, in fact, it is really equipped with digital fly-by-wire, and the flight performance can be improved to a great level, and the pilot can fly with more confidence.

"This digital telex is really good, but unfortunately, our current technical level is limited, and we can't even get analog telex." Simonov said.

Analog circuits are continuous signals, while digital circuits are signals that can be encoded and processed by computers, and there is an essential difference between the two.

Analog circuits, when the circuit is designed, everything is fixed, if you want to upgrade in the future, you must re-improve the circuit, and the ability to process information is very poor, in fact, this thing is just an operational amplifier, and the digital circuit can be programmed, and the performance can be improved by improving the software at any time.

For example, the missiles of the Americans' later generations, every time they are upgraded, they do not need to use hardware at all, that is, they improve new programs and have new optimization algorithms to improve the missile's hit rate.

"If we think about the future, digital telex is a hurdle that must be overcome." Andre said: "Especially in the future, flight control, fire control, and power control can be integrated together, and the flying fire pushes cross-linking, and such a fighter is like a human brain." ”

Spitfire Crosslink is an integrated flight/fire control technology proposed by the United States a few years ago. After obtaining the movement information of the target through radar and other equipment, the movement trend of the target is accurately predicted in combination with the state of the fighter itself, and the weapon dropping point and the flight trajectory before reaching the point are calculated in real time. In this way, the delivery of weapons to pilots was greatly facilitated. On the one hand, the head-up display provides the pilot with intuitive control and status display, so that the pilot can control the aircraft to fly according to the prompts and accurately launch weapons. On the other hand, this flight trajectory signal can issue control instructions to the fly-by-wire flight controller through the flight/fire coupler, and control the aircraft to track the target for automatic attack.

It can be said that it is precisely with this system that the combat performance of the Americans' fighters has changed by leaps and bounds, and even in the combat of machine guns, a huge improvement has been achieved. The computer is in control, relying on precise flight trajectory, attitude and firing control, the cannon's aiming and firing speed has been further greatly improved, and the carrier aircraft can even attack the target head-on in a head-to-head staggered flight!

The flying fire push cross-linking, is to give the aircraft more powerful performance, flight control and fire control cross-linking, only to control the aircraft's rudder surface, and thrust control, is to directly control the engine! Especially with the vector nozzle, the three are cross-linked, and the fighter can be as powerful as the characters in martial arts novels, and can even release weapons in various actions such as rolling, pitching, climbing, somersaulting, etc.

Originally, Simonov, as the deputy chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, was already a big expert in the field of fighter design, but now after hearing Andrei's description, he immediately felt that the forward-looking figure of aviation weapons was Andrey! When Andrei finished describing these performances and finally put it to an end, Simonov couldn't help but nod: "Yes, you said it very well!" In the future, if these systems can really be combined, the combat effectiveness will be greatly increased! ”

"At least for now, the fly-by-wire system is a hurdle that must be overcome." Simonov continued: "It's a pity that our current electronic technology is still too poor, and our radar development department is still holding on to the tube. ”

Simonov was very disappointed with these supporting production departments, Simonov had already approached the Tikhmilov Instrument Building Research Institute several times to coordinate the radar problem of the new fighter, and the other party still had a lot of technical problems that could not be solved, in particular, he still held on to the tube! It is difficult to achieve a level that surpasses the American F-15 airborne radar.

"Tubes are a mistake." Andrei continued: "We only know that we blindly increase the transmission power, increase the heat, and increase the difficulty of heat dissipation, and in the end, the radar created is quite bulky, with low reliability and poor performance. Moreover, it will also affect the performance of the carrier aircraft. ”

Historically, the Su-27 was originally designed very well, but because of the defects of the radar, it had to lose weight, and even punched holes in the girders, which eventually led to hypochondriasis, and the use of overload was severely limited.

Hearing Andrey's words, Simonov also nodded, this is almost a piece of his heart, although the T-10 has not yet started the test flight, and the nose is also loaded with a lead block for the counterweight as planned, but if the final radar is overweight, it will be a disaster for the T-10.

"If only we could get a set of their radar systems from the Americans!" Andrei said.

EP-3 has opened the eyes of domestic technicians, some of them have opened up their concepts, no longer hold on to the tube, if they can get the advanced radar of the United States, then they will be able to convince the remaining diehards, if the diehards do not listen, then at most a new design bureau will be separated!

It's a pity that now I don't have the ability to influence the decisions of the Soviet Union! Andrei continued to think that moreover, if you want to get a radar system from the Americans, it can only be a rebellion, who will come from the Western free world to the evil Soviet Union that they professilate? Andrei thought back and forth about the countries on the world map, and suddenly remembered a country.

Iran! Iran has the most powerful military in the Persian Gulf, especially with the purchase of advanced Tomcat fighters from the United States! The AWG-9 radar above is quite powerful, and in a few years, there will be a major change in Iran, and at that time, it will be an opportunity!

"What are you talking about? So happy? Just then, a voice came to my ear.

Andrei raised his head, and was first attracted by the bright medals hanging on the other party's chest, everyone here, almost their chests were full of medals, and Andre only had two pieces on his chest.

Then, looking at the wine glass raised by the other party, and then upward, I saw the other party's face, and immediately recognized it, I saw it some time ago, Marshal Ustinov!
