Chapter 572: Old Man Grows Stronger

The trial voyage of a submarine is very dangerous, especially if it dives, it may not be able to come up, but the trial voyage of a warship is much safer, especially now, this warship has already been built and has sailed across the ocean, and now it is just a matter of modifying the combat system, and there is no danger.

Navy Chief of Staff Zahar and others also followed Mahmad and got on the warship.

On the bridge, the original anti-aircraft missile console has been replaced with a new one, and it has also been operated by two people to the current dozen people, which is slightly crowded.

"Our system, with a high level of automation, can determine the type and threat level of the target, and at critical times, it can even lock on to the target, as long as the operator confirms, it can guide the missile attack." Bai Xue said.

In recent years, electronic technology has made very rapid progress, and Pakistan has cultivated a large number of high-tech talents, and the development of this system is based on the most advanced technology.

Mhammad nodded: "Well, that's good! ”

"Woo, woo." The four gas turbines in the tail have already started to drive the warship, leaving the harbor and heading towards the sea in the distance.

The atmosphere in the combat command center is very tense, and this time, it is necessary to conduct a test to verify the performance of these systems!

The phased array radars on all sides began to work, and countless electromagnetic waves began to propagate towards the surrounding airspace.

On the outskirts of Karachi, naval aviation base.

"How's it going, is the test complete?" A young man said that he was wearing a denim suit, which looked the same as the dress of a college student, which is very popular now, and the gown on it had been washed and faded, and the words "Aircraft Model Association" could be faintly seen printed on the back. He was the former president of the Model Aircraft Association. Hassan.

"It's done." Another young woman, who was holding a notebook for the test, said: "As you requested, we have set up complex procedures, especially at the end of the flight, which will perform special maneuvers. ”

"Well, it's a target, but. To be close to actual combat, this is what President Mumad has instructed us. Hassan said.

The rest of the people are also in high spirits, and today, it took them a few years to complete a flight of a super-large drone.

On this flight, this drone will have no return, because it is acting as a target aircraft, however. It's time to put their results to the test! So, they devised complex maneuvers.

They are the students of the former Model Aircraft Association of the University of Islamabad, and after graduation, they were recruited into the army to specialize in the development of drones, and they were very interested in this and devoted the greatest enthusiasm to the study of drone technology. Especially the one in front of you, but it's an absolute big guy!

It's a real plane that sparkles in silver! The fuselage can be seen with countless rivets exposed. The nose is intake, there are wing knives on the wings, and there are two engines in the tail, this kind of aircraft is a former meritorious aircraft! J-6 fighter from friendly China!

At the beginning, Pakistan was under Western sanctions. After a hard-fought battle, as the sanctions left its fighter jets unflyable, friendly Huaxia delivered the J-6 fighter jets to the Pakistan Air Force. Let them fight. Although the Jian-6 is somewhat backward compared with the Indian aircraft, this kind of aircraft is flexible and has good acceleration performance, and has achieved many results in shooting down, and is famous in history.

And now, this kind of aircraft is old, the layout of the nose air intake, resulting in the inability to accommodate advanced radar, high fuel consumption turbojet engine makes this kind of aircraft have a short air time, limited combat radius, with the large number of Pakistan's third-generation fighters in service, these fighters that have made great contributions have also begun to withdraw from Pakistan's active service.

After retirement, what will these fighters do? Mhammad found a use for them, which is to convert it into a drone!

Pakistan's ground crews can already skillfully maintain these fighters, and Pakistan also has the J-6 repair plant, which is already very familiar with these fighters, and the cost of use is very low. Equip these fighters with the necessary equipment to become drones that can perform more missions.

In the future, most of the UAVs will be used for battlefield reconnaissance or mount bombs to attack directly, which has the advantage of avoiding casualties. Although J-6 is old, it is old and strong, and it can continue to exert its residual heat!

Later tasks need to be added gradually, and now, just change this kind of aircraft to be unmanned, able to fly, and able to perform tasks, and this is the first task of these people in front of them.

The point of the drone is to have a smart brain, not all of which need to be operated remotely, most of the time, it is autonomous according to the program.

Compared with manned fighters, the change in this aircraft is the cockpit.

The cockpit was supposed to house the pilot, but now, the life support system has been removed and all has been turned into control equipment.

This kind of fighter is operated by hydraulics, so the operating sticks, rudder and other equipment are removed, and those pipelines are directly connected to the hydraulic equipment, and the operation of these equipment is a computer, which can be used to control various flight actions.

If it's a fly-by-wire aircraft, it's the easiest, just enter the commands into the computer of the fly-by-wire operating system, and now, you have to convert them.

In addition to these, there is also a large number of sensors that can sense the status of the aircraft and sense whether various systems are working properly.

And these, the most difficult, are also programs! It can be said that this is simply the same as designing a fly-by-wire flight controller, and the difficulty is not ordinary. You must know that even a simple take-off and landing requires a skilled pilot to operate, and if there is a slight difference, it will be a plane crash and death.

There are also advantages, that is, this kind of aircraft is very simple after all, there are only five control surfaces, and the flight control rate is also well known. Of course, thanks to the many technicians at Pakistan Aeronautical Industries, they also helped to overcome many technical difficulties.

I heard that President Mhammad was on that warship, waiting for his target aircraft to be tested, and of course he wanted to show the best side of this target aircraft! Therefore, Hassan retested it and set a new procedure, which was considered a welcome gift to the warship.

Generally speaking, the first launch of the air defense system is almost pre-planned, and the target aircraft almost does not maneuver, but flies over in a predetermined direction and at a predetermined speed, and then the air defense system goes all out to deal with it, striving to achieve 100 shots and 100 hits.

And Hassan is not so conscious, for him, this is a test of his target aircraft, and he must make his unmanned target aircraft fly like a real aircraft! In particular, when exposed to a radar beam, it is able to make complex serpentine maneuvers to get rid of the opponent's radar lock!

"Okay, then let's start flying." Hassan looked at the plane and took a few steps back.

The young woman on the side pressed a button.

The multi-function camera on the front of the fighter accurately captures the runway, adjusts the wheels in front of it, and aligns the runway!

The roar came suddenly, and with the help of the ground, the two turbojet 6 engines started smoothly, the brakes of the wheels were released, and they began to glide slowly on the runway.

The ground staff on the side, their eyes were staring out, this guy, there is no pilot in it, is he still so accurate?

After aligning the runway, the throttles of the two engines were fully opened by the computer, and the tail burst into flames, and began to slide quickly on the runway.

Countless sensors are working at the same time, the speed of the airspeed tube, the attitude of the fuselage, are closely monitored, and then, the computer begins to operate the tail elevator to.

The air flow blew onto the rudder surface of the elevator, easily cocking the nose, which continued to fly forward for a few seconds, and then the entire fuselage left the ground.

The whole take-off process was like a cloud of peers, and only the most well-trained pilots could make such a flight maneuver, and the ground crew on the side couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

Hassan stared at the computer screen tightly, it didn't matter if he could fly, he had to fly into the predetermined sea area and carry out the operation at the same time.

The J-6 drone continued to climb higher, and at the same time began to turn, flying towards the ocean to the south.

"The target plane has taken off and is expected to arrive in twenty minutes." Here, the Kidd-class destroyers have already received the news, and this is also their only news, the altitude and speed of the target aircraft have not been notified in advance.

In order to prevent accidental hits, the Kidd-class destroyers did not sail under the civil aviation channel and avoided them from a distance, and in case of an accident that accidentally hit a civilian airliner, it would be troublesome.

However, the advantage of four-sided phased array radar is that it can monitor the whole airspace at any time, while the long-range warning radar needs to rotate for a week to be able to refresh the data information, so that the efficiency of four-sided phased array radar monitoring is naturally far higher than that of traditional radar.

Moreover, another advantage of phased array radar is that the radar beam can be concentrated in a certain place at any time, increasing the power, and can firmly grasp the target, and at the same time, the remaining T/R units can monitor targets in other directions to achieve effective control of the entire airspace.

The plane that took off from the Karachi Air Force Base was discovered by the phased array radar almost as soon as it had just climbed into the air of 1,000 meters, and the atmosphere in the entire operation compartment suddenly became highly tense.

"Eight hundred speeds, one thousand five heights, and the climb continues."

"Heading 030, it has flown to sea."

"Anti-aircraft missile preparation." (To be continued......)
