If you want to make money, you must make money, but how can you make money, the advanced ones are not allowed to sell in large quantities, so that the things that are sold may not be sold, Dong Feng's head is a little big when he thinks about this problem. Suddenly, he remembered that Duke pulled himself over today, and suddenly had a glimmer of realization in his mind, could it be that Duke brought himself here today, not just to see the F-22 fighter model and the super simulation flight simulator?

Dong Feng looked at Duke with some suspicion, "Duke, you called me today, you won't just let me see these things, and spend money by the way, right?" ”

Seeing Dong Feng's sudden enlightenment, Duke laughed, "What do you think, DSM handed over to you, if you only get in and out every year, I'm afraid it will go bankrupt in a few years" Duke said, "So DSM also has to find a way to make money in order to survive, and today I brought you with Mr. Qi and the senior manager of 611 to discuss the plan to make money." ”

"It's the first time Mr. Dong has come to us, let's go to the office to talk." Qi Haiyang, who knows the inside story, also said with a smile, "The things I read today are actually the results of our close cooperation with DSM, but it is not easy to convert these results into profits." Today, it is rare for the two distinguished guests to come here, and our director Gao is waiting for the two distinguished guests to exchange new areas of future cooperation together. ”

Sure enough, I didn't expect that Duke would give him a surprise attack, and this kind of big thing was not discussed in advance, Dong Feng was a little unhappy in his heart. However, it is not the first time to cooperate with the 611 Institute, the previous UAV project was successfully completed with the cooperation of this side and the 132 factory, and now both sides are still continuing the transformation of the J-7 UAV.

In this way, it is not a big deal that Duke didn't say hello in advance.

The tall director of the 611 Institute is named Gao Zegao, and his name sounds a little awkward, but when Dong Feng sees the real person, he is quite affinity, and at first glance he is the kind of old-school engineer, although he is not yet 60 years old, his hair is almost white.

This is because in the development process of J-10 and Thunder, Director Gao is the main force, and has spent too much effort for these two models, and now almost half of the backbone of the institute is brought out by him back then, and it is by relying on this group of people that they have made J-20, an amazing fourth-generation aircraft, so that J-20 can beat the 601 Institute to become the main force of the fourth-generation aircraft of the Chinese Air Force.

"Welcome Dean Du and Mr. Dong to visit our institute for inspection and guidance, the two VIPs are rare guests." Seeing Duke and his entourage coming, Director Gao, who was waiting in the conference room, hurriedly stood up and welcomed.

"Mr. Gao is too polite." Duke and Dong Feng hurriedly walked a few steps and shook hands with Director Gao, although the two institutions have cooperated a lot, but it is the first time for the three of them to get together, especially Dong Feng is the first time to meet with Director Gao, in the weekday cooperation, Dong Feng has seen a lot of engineers from Factory 132 and 611.

Everyone is busy, so soon after the greetings, Director Gao briefly introduced the current main product research and development of 611 Institute, which is now basically divided into three parts. One is the aero engine, mainly in cooperation with Liyang Aviation is based on the S-13 to improve, ready to develop and produce the S-13D, this engine will become the power of the future new Thunder and foreign trade J-10P, but also equipped with the new Flying Leopard fighter-bomber.

Another product is based on the AE3007H engine of Rolls-Royce, which is now copied successfully, and is further improved and finalized as S-18A, which will be used as the main power of future UAVs, and will be used on the two series of large UAVs of Terminator and Shadow.

The second piece is, of course, the fourth-generation J-20, which is now in full swing in the development of the new J-20B, and the performance goal of this new fighter is to comprehensively surpass the old F-22 of the current US military.

The third is the improvement of the third-generation aircraft, including the Thunder and J-10 series, the domestic J-10 will be improved to J-10D, the goal is to further improve the stealth capability on the basis of the J-10C, so that the new J-10D has the function of quasi-stealth fighter, in terms of stealth more than the US military's F-15SE "Silent Eagle" This quasi-stealth aircraft, and the latest European Rafale / Typhoon fighter is on par, so that in the third-generation semi-quasi-stealth fighter, J-10D can be among the forefront. Even if you go it alone, you can win against these competitors.

After all, China's air defense airspace is too large, if you want to protect it thoroughly, it is estimated that 2 or 3,000 fighters are enough, and this scale completely relies on the fourth generation aircraft National strength is somewhat unaffordable, and the main aircraft group will be dominated by three and a half generations of fighters in the next 20 years, and the fourth generation fighters will be the vanguard of air superiority combat breakthroughs, equipped with 2 or 300 at most remarkable.

This is the main fighter of the Air Force equipped internally, and the engine will be installed with an improved S-10 series, which will evolve into two types of single-seat and two-seat in the future, and will become the main fighter for China's air superiority operations.

In terms of export, the Thunder will be further improved, while keeping the cost basically unchanged, it can greatly improve its stealth ability through design improvements, and at the same time make it possible to install AESA phased array radar, plus the new engine to obtain greater maneuverability and bomb load, single aircraft combat can compete with the F16-C/D type of imaginary enemy, for most third world countries, this performance is enough.

As long as the production cost of the new Thunder fighter can be controlled within $10 million, the selling price will remain at $20 million, which is obviously much more competitive than the second-hand F-16C/D.

Another main fighter for export will be the J-10OP improved on the basis of J-10B, this product will further optimize the stealth capability, maintain the same level as the J-10C, with the simplified version of the domestic joint combat tactical system as the core, the design performance indicators of the single combat capability can remain the same as the US F-15E / F, under the guidance of cluster and air early warning aircraft, it can defeat the same number of F-15E / F or Typhoon / Rafale, SU-30 and other three and a half generation fighters.

Under the condition of this performance index, the external sales price is set at about 50 million US dollars, which should be very competitive compared to competitors such as the F-15E/F or Typhoon/Rafale, which are at least 50 percent higher, especially the complete victory over the F-15J and F-2 in the Diaoyutai air battle, which has made many countries in the world express their intention to buy the J-10C.

After listening to Director Gao's brief introduction, Dong Feng realized that the difference between the original export products and the products of the PLA equipment is really big, and he also understood why basically the export products do not enter the ranks of the PLA equipment, and this performance gap is basically a grade worse.

"In the above aspects, we will have in-depth cooperation with DSM, the main software systems and avionics equipment will be mostly provided by DSM in the future, Dean Du is an authority in this regard, our fighter can win in Diaoyutai, Dean Du is a great contribution." Director Gao finally said sincerely.

In the final analysis, the theater joint combat and tactical system was led by Duke, and the core intelligent algorithm part was developed by Duke himself, which is not known to the domestic aviation bigwigs, and the 611 Institute wants to develop a simplified version of the theater joint combat and tactical system, of course, DSM has to get a piece of the pie.

With such a good atmosphere of cooperation, it is not difficult for the two sides to discuss the sharing of benefits, 4 people sit together after friendly measures, from the investment of R&D personnel and other considerations, and finally agreed to follow the 37 open method, DSM accounts for 30%, 611 accounts for 70%, after all, the main R & D manpower investment will be borne by 611.

However, although DSM manpower investment is small, they are all very core key technologies, and they can be negotiated, and Director Gao and Qi Haiyang are also very satisfied, which is a win-win plan. In the future, there will also be a lot of cooperation between the two sides in UAVs, and the unmanned fighter envisioned by Duke is now basically a conceptual prototype of the J-20 scaled-down, rather than a tailless aircraft like the European neuron or the US military X-47B.

Although the stealth performance of these two models is good, if used in air combat, the maneuverability is not good enough. The J-7 modification work has given Duke a lot of experience, and if an unmanned fighter is developed in the future, it will have to be based on the current fighter jet. The X-47B, a tailless aircraft with better stealth performance, is more suitable for long-range strategic bombing, and the future Terminator II may be able to consider this scheme.

After such a toss, Dong Feng found that DSM seemed to have finally grabbed something that could make some money, although the new fighter in this plan was weaker than the previous ones, but it could bring real benefits to DSM.

However, no one expected that what the four of them discussed together today would soon become the pride of China's military exports.

After returning to DSM, Duke's avionics research team developed a cosmetic version of the fire control radar based on the AN/APG-81, the U.S. military's active electrically swept phased array radar, the AN/APG-81 radar array is smaller in size, only half the cost and weight of the AN/APG-77, and has the ability to carry out synthetic aperture radar mapping (SAR) and ground moving target indication (GMTI) at the same time, which is very important for foreign trade.

Because those countries that are willing to buy cheap fighters such as the Thunder and J-10P are usually more financially constrained, hoping to be able to have multiple capabilities, AN/APG-81 can be competent for both air and ground, if under the existing conditions, through the new radar echo intelligent analysis technology developed by Duke, reduce some radar array size again, while maintaining the effective detection performance of the air is almost unchanged, then this AN/APG-81 improved radar is almost perfect.

After all, the detection range of the N/APG-81 against ordinary fighters has reached 150 km (for RCS = 5 square meters of air targets), although it is not very good in the fourth generation fighters, but it is already a leader in the third generation fighters, the Thomson CSF / ESDRBC fire control radar and SU-35 fighters of the same Rafale fighter quot; Snow leopard quot; The performance of the E phased array radar is the same.
