Chapter 314: Imitation Radar

With a rectangular air intake, twin engines and a double tail, and a bubble cockpit, the shape is so beautiful, full of power and beauty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

f-15! This is an American F-15 fighter!

"The Self-Defense Forces of the island country have four F-15 fighters, three of which have been towed back to Moscow, and this one has been placed here for us to be responsible for research." Grischen said.

At the beginning of the merger of East and West Germany, the Americans did not have to make much effort to get the MiG-29 fighters of East Germany, this kind of Soviet front-line fighters, which had lost their coats in front of the West and were naked for the West to study. I don't know how many people in the Mikoyan Design Bureau are rooted in this.

And now, it is the turn of the Americans to be depressed, their most advanced third-generation aircraft has been acquired by their own side! After this study, we will be more sure to fight against the American fighters in air battles in the future!

The radome in the nose had been disassembled, and the radar antenna in the gap of the flat plate above could be seen, and Andrei couldn't help but walk over quickly and carefully observe the F-15.

"The first thing we have to do is reverse mapping and copy the F-15's airborne radar." Andrei looked at the flat-shaped radar antenna with affection and said excitedly.

The Soviet Union's electronic technology was backward, until its disintegration, and it did not overcome the difficulties of the flat slot radar, and the Su-27, as a heavy fighter, was originally planned to be equipped with a flat slot radar, but it turned out to be five big and three thick inverted cards, and it became a one-ton behemoth out of thin air.

Now the T-10 has not yet begun test flights, and the difficulties in history will not be repeated!

"Yes, the main task of our Dajiang plant at this stage is to map and copy the on-board electronic equipment of the F-15, of which the radar is the focus." Eitaro Ohashi said: "Although we Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have assembled the F-4 fighter, the airborne radar on it is also a full set of imported American products, and the current F-15 was originally intended to be introduced and produced, and the radar equipment also needs to be imported, but we already have various parameter documents." Radar is related to the performance of fighters, and we will no longer be able to obtain any advanced technology from the United States in the future, so we can only develop it ourselves. ā€œ

Radar antennas! The most important of the APG-63 radar used by the F-15 fighter in the United States is the flat slot radar antenna, which is to make a crack on the wide or narrow side of the waveguide, and properly arrange it to form a line array or area array to meet the requirements of various antenna applications. This method has significant advantages such as high gain, easy control of aperture distribution, and compact structure. Among them, the standing wave array with wide-side longitudinal slit of the waveguide, that is, the flat slot antenna, also has the characteristics of low loss, light weight, large power capacity, high polarization purity, and high mechanical strength. These advantages have made the United States, which attaches great importance to electronic technology, first used fire control radars on fighter planes, missile guidance head antennas, and so on.

The Soviet radar was five large and three thick, with extremely high power, but the real use rate was quite low, among them, the low efficiency of the radar antenna was an important aspect of it, and most of it became heat dissipation! Although the Soviet Union wanted to overcome the difficulties of flat slit radar, it was full of difficulties.

One of the most important is materials and precision machining technology! These technologies, the Soviet Union would not have been able to obtain from the West.

"Great!" Hearing this, Andrei was extremely happy, he naturally knew what this meant, as long as the manufacturing difficulties of the radar antenna were overcome, with the level of electronic technology of the island country, the processing system and other components behind it could also be overcome one by one, so that it could catch up with the development progress of the Su-27!

The electronics of the Soviet Union, because of the return of the island nation, will have a blowout improvement! After catching up in electronics, see how the Americans confronted the USSR militarily!

"Once this radar is developed, we will equip our fighters and export them to our friends at the same time, and in the future, we can also consider exporting the technology to produce these radars directly in Moscow." Eitaro Ohashi said.

This is almost certain, after all, the research and development of this radar, there are part of the Soviet personnel, the research and development is successful, the Soviet Union will also master the technology synchronously, but the level of processing in the Soviet Union is insufficient, if it is produced in the Soviet Union, then it is necessary to introduce mechanical processing equipment. At that time, how to cost accounting, profit or something, it is not something that Andre can worry about.

Moreover, the future fighters of the Soviet Union, the radar system, absolutely cannot rely on the factories of the island country, in case the people of the island country have any bad intentions, then the Soviet Aerospace Forces will be trapped.

"Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is also quite advanced in the development of phased array radar, and they are overcoming the difficulties of the T/R component of active phased array radar." "We are also joining in to develop a more advanced active phased array radar as soon as possible," Grischen said. ā€

Although the Soviet Union already had an airborne phased array radar, it was a passive phased array radar that relied on a ferrite phase shifter, and a new type of active phased array radar was the direction of the future! In this regard, the island has a forward-looking state of technology, and with the cooperation of Soviet experts, they jointly overcome technical difficulties.

"In addition to the tireless development of the radar, there is another team that is working on the engine of the F-15 fighter." Eitaro Ohashi said: "It's just that the engine of the F-15 is not mature now, and it is facing too many problems, and last time it was because of engine failure that it led to a large-scale grounding of American aircraft." ā€

Motor! In fact, the Soviet Union's pursuit of engines was not as urgent as avionics, because the Soviet Union was not outdated in engine development, but the technology of Soviet engines was still flawed, such as the service life, which was far from the level of the West. It is still helpful to study Western engines for the Soviet Union to master more cutting-edge engine technology.

It is the F100 engine, and now it is still facing all kinds of reliability problems, and last time if it were not for the large-scale grounding of the F-15, the Americans would definitely not be so easy to admit defeat!

Wait, engines, avionics, if these technologies are conquered by the island people, and there is still one remaining airframe, it means that the island country has the ability to independently develop and produce fighters? Thinking of this, Andre suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart.

Although it is necessary to make use of the technology of the island country now, it is absolutely impossible to train the island country into a military power!

"We have a new plan." At this moment, Eitaro Ohashi said: "Originally, the next generation of our Self-Defense Forces fighter was the F-15, but now, I'm afraid the plan is going to be ruined, and we need a new fighter to deal with future conflicts." (To be continued.) )
