Chapter 83: Swarm Cruise Missile

April 1.

701.

Li Xiu had dinner in the evening and came to the research institute.

The 701 Institute was bright all night, and some people talked loudly all the time, and some people fell asleep directly on the table.

Li Xiu didn't come to the 701 Institute many times, and Li Ao asked him to come at this time.

Coming to the second floor, Li Xiu pushed open the door.

I saw Li Ao's face full of excitement and said.

"Comrade Li Xiu, here, sit down. The results are in. You see, that's all the data we designed for the large bypass engine. ”

"Although the process is not up to the drawing standards. Many of these steps have also been simplified. ”

"We are still amazed by its dynamic performance. Is this really the current strength of Eagle Sauce? ”

Because the level of the turbofan engine made according to the drawings provided by Li Xiu is too exaggerated.

The thrust was a third higher than he expected. Finished blowing up their big brother the USSR a few years ago.

When did the strength of the mold country become so strong?

It would be terrifying if the strength of the mold country had evolved like this.

But at the same time, he doubted the authenticity of the drawings.

Is it really a technique to rob old mold?

Are they so strong?

"I know too, it's useless to ask you that."

Li Ao scratched the back of his head and said, "We're ready to build an airplane." ”

"The first big airplane."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Come on." Are there any difficulties? ”

"Not in the big picture."

"When we solve the engine, we solve the biggest technical problem. Force big bricks fly. The engine is the heart of a large aviation aircraft. ”

"In addition to the large aviation aircraft, we are also preparing to convert it into an engine with a small duct. It is used in the manufacture of twin-engine air superiority fighters. This is what we often call the fifth-generation aircraft."

"There are still a lot of technical difficulties in some small aspects. Examples include EOTS and EODAS, head-mounted displays, and avionics system architecture...... But these are all problems that can be solved in a short period of time through everyone's efforts. Moreover, we already have a certain foundation. It can be said that the engine has made up for our shortcomings. ”

When Li Ao said this, he was obviously much more excited.

In modern warfare, air supremacy is the most important.

Even the army needs to cooperate with air supremacy operations.

And now, the mold country has F22, and Huaxia's J-20 is still far from industrial perfection.

In the event of a war, the F22 can even directly seize air supremacy on the battlefield. And at present, the fighters of all generations in China have no way at all.

Under the conditions of naturally unfavorable air power, no matter how strong the army is, it is useless.

This is not at all compensated for by quantity.

In other words, air supremacy is a very crucial condition for a first-class and strong army.

Moreover, Li Ao did not say that Huaxia's current engine is also subject to sanctions and restrictions. For example, Wuzhi Shi will be restricted by Western countries.

The completion of this self-control ability will greatly improve Huaxia's own ability standards and discourse power.

"And when are we going to build it?"

Li Xiu asked.

"This project has been prepared for a long time. The engine directly makes up for the weaknesses. Conservative estimates suggest that there will be good news within two years, or even a year. ”

"In fact, you may not know that what we lack most in this aspect of technology is the power system and fuel system of the engine. As for handling, take-off and landing, and hydraulic pneumatic pressure, these items, even without assistance, can quickly catch up with the development of aviation development. ”

"I'll contact you when the plane takes a test flight."

Li Ao said with a smile.

"So fast?"

Li Xiu was surprised, he thought it would start in ten years. I didn't expect Li Ao's estimate to be so optimistic.

"Originally, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed."

Li Ao said confidently.

"Dean, I also have something I want to report to you this time."

"Speak" Li Ao immediately became interested and asked.

"I've recently pondered the direction of change in some future equipment."

Li Ao's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Okay." I've long been a star of the Army, and I have a lot of ideas. I have my own plans. There will definitely be opinions in this regard. ”

"I'm still quite a professional. Whether there is potential and value, I can see at a glance. ”

Li Xiu nodded.

Placing the computer in front of Li Ao, Li Xiu said: "The field army pterodactyl attack type one, a self-propelled turret that can carry heavy blowers. ”

"A tracked combat platform vehicle capable of arming a Type 80 universal gun. Both of these need to complete the integration of information. ”

"Hmm. Not bad. ”

Li Ao nodded.

"For both of these things, we already have a certain planning direction."

Li Ao said.

Li Xiu nodded.

Both of these are even currently available in field armies. It's just that assembly informatization is needed.

Then he said:

"Please take a look at this. This is a Saker-type drone. Li Xiu then clicked the mouse, and soon, a complex line structure appeared on the computer.

At the beginning, the structure was all a sketch, but when Li Xiu introduced the Swarm Saker drone, the structure changed suddenly.

Above, there is not only a wing structure, but also a detailed engine structure.

And, apparently, it's more than just a picture.

"Drones?" Li Ao asked in surprise.

"Yes. Drone. First of all, the structure of this UAV, which I designed, in addition to the shell, consists of a total of combat parts, a power system and an information system. ”

"And there are a range of electronic components to assist in the operation."

"In addition, it has synthetic aperture radar, laser ranging, optical detection system and ground scanning system, and my positioning of this drone is actually to obtain information and suicide destruction!"

"It's characterized by an extremely low cost. And it is portable, small in size, and not easy to be detected. ”

"That is, it's just a one-time thing. It has an ideal cruising time, highly intelligent combat deployment, and a low cost that can be used as a bomb. ”

"You see, with this structure, these should be guaranteed. In terms of combat practice, the ideal price of a suicide drone should be around 8,000 dragon coins. As long as the cost can be controlled within 8000. In fact, the value of the battle will be very high. ”

"It can't be." Li Ao directly interrupted Li Xiu's words and said, "Don't say less than eight thousand." If all these functions are combined, it must be at least more than 50,000 Huaxia coins, and the battery life and speed cannot be guaranteed. ”

"Disposable drones, too extravagant. The less than 8,000 you mentioned does have great practical value. But I assure you that the cost of this drone you designed will definitely not be less than fifty thousand. ”

After all, the larger the volume, the easier it is to be spotted.

And a drone that carries so many functions must be quite small in size to be manufactured. Battery life will also be a big issue.

Li Ao also has an understanding of similar drones.

He also holds a Ph.D. in weapons design and engineering from the Defense Division, and also has research on unmanned aerial vehicles.

At present, the mainstream cruise missile (suicide drone) is extremely expensive, although it has a cruising time of more than 60 minutes in function, but because it is equipped with synthetic aperture radar, infrared detection system, laser ranging system and optical detection system, so the volume will not be small.

As a result, the amount of ammunition carried will not be too much, and the cost of batteries will not be reduced.

Therefore, cruise missiles have now reached a bottleneck.

But actually.

Not only can the system solve this problem, but the problem in the previous life has been solved.

In the previous life, in the battlefield of Da Mao and Ermao, the most eye-catching weapon was not the Hymars rocket launcher, nor the Leopard Ershentan, but the swarm cruise missile, which was more eye-catching in terms of efficiency and use.

"This structure is just the structure of the whole."

Li Xiu said, tumbling the keyboard and mouse, and soon, many structural drawings appeared on the computer.

"Wait. You're incomplete with this structure diagram, right? How can you make so many accessories so light? ”

Li Ao's expression was serious, and soon, he found a problem.

"Parts in separate packs? Is this to distinguish drones into separate functions? ”

"Yes. Eight UAVs are divided into a group, two UAVs only have infrared detection function, two UAVs only have optical ground scanning function, and the other two carry synthetic aperture radar devices and laser ranging devices respectively... In this way, patrolling in the form of a 'swarm' group can reduce the cost and volume problems. ”

"After that, the most important thing is to let them realize the data sharing of group formation through intelligent connection."

Li Xiu explained.

"We can write a data distribution and combat sharing system, add location information, synchronize satellite signals, and make loitering missiles work together. Although there are certain shortcomings, such as being able to target the same target, there are difficulties in tactical coordination. However, its ceiling is higher, and even each one can carry explosives, and the power is not comparable to that of ordinary drones. ”

Most of the drones they use now only have infrared detection capabilities.

If split into eight small UAVs. Then we will be able to work closely together and work together.

"It's a novel idea. But in order to implement it, it is necessary to have a complete combat system and ensure that the data sharing that can be maintained between the eight drones. If the combat system is not done well, eight UAVs are not as good as a complete one. ”

"However, if the idea is really successful, then the drone will have a high war potential."

The advantage of this drone is that it is cheap. The more bombs you can carry, the more damage you can do.

And there are a lot of them, so they won't be knocked down together.

Li Ao is also thinking about the possibility of this drone.

In the reconnaissance and patrol phases, this cruise missile is indeed cumbersome.

But in the end, when committing suicide, it is enough to have a bearing coordinates. At that time, the drone will directly turn into a homing missile to carry out precision bombing of the target in a strategic sense.

What's more, he can also be used as a pre-war scout. Even if there are anti-aircraft missiles, at the cost of 50,000 Huaxia yuan for one anti-aircraft missile, it is not even enough to defeat a cruise missile.

On the other hand, EMP weapons, which can have a stable impact on an altitude of several hundred meters, are extremely limited (nuclear weapons). Even if EMP weapons continue to develop in the future, there will be no way to distinguish between friend and foe, and their own electronic devices will also be affected.

It is equivalent to basically no solution.

Even if you join the combat system, you can also carry out tactical coordination.

The cost of less than 10,000 Huaxia dollars can completely use drones as cannonballs.

Compared with the shells of howitzers, although the firing power is slightly inferior, the tracking ability and precision strike ability, the cruise missile has too great an advantage.

PS: The previous content will be changed. About four or five chapters, and put it out together after the change,

It's really not well written.
