Chapter 703: Trembling, the twin-tailed scorpion cruises in formation
Reciprocating the peach, Cao Yang is a person who knows how to be grateful.
Not to mention that after Yangcheng Bank became a subsidiary of Nanshan Group, it was equivalent to sending high-quality assets to Nanshan Group, and with this tentacle of entering the financial industry alone, Nanshan Group could do a lot.
In order to be worthy of this support, Cao Yang quickly told Pan Jun a good news.
"Representative Pan, the three-engine drone over Nanshan Robot has been officially developed, which can accept the acceptance of relevant departments and begin to enter the relevant fields for duty."
The original twin-tailed scorpion drone was a twin-engine product, which has brought enough surprises to everyone.
Especially after the stealth material is coated, it is much more difficult for the radar to detect it.
Since the speed is not very fast, the effect of the aerodynamic layout on the stealth effect is also minimized.
So it's really hard for general radar to detect twin-tailed scorpion drones.
This year, the relevant departments have taken the twin-tailed scorpion drone as a new product with key equipment.
As a manufacturer, Nanshan Robot is not satisfied with its past achievements.
Instead, he began to continue research on products with three and four shots.
"Has the three-engine twin-tailed scorpion drone been successfully developed?"
"How's the performance?"
Pan Jun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Cao Ang expectantly.
The strategic significance of this drone, he is very clear.
Before large bombers came out, this UAV could meet the tasks of long-range deterrence to a certain extent.
Of course, the premise is that there must be a similar breakthrough in missile technology.
"This three-engine twin-tailed scorpion drone has a range of 8,000 kilometers, a stay time of 40 hours, and a maximum load of 1.2 tons."
"It adopts a streamlined design similar to that of the An-124 transport aircraft, which effectively reduces flight drag."
"The three small engines not only meet the power requirements, but also reduce the footprint and weight as much as possible."
"It has a total of 10 underwing hardpoints and two belly hardpoints, so it can carry 12 precision-guided bombs or missiles."
"If we can find the most suitable missile to carry it, it will be a very terrifying firepower configuration."
"The twin-tailed scorpion unmanned bomber organically combines efficient logistics and transportation with strong combat effectiveness, and has become a multi-functional, all-weather military platform."
"In addition, a large amount of space is reserved in the fuselage for the installation of radar and reconnaissance equipment."
Since Cao Yang is going to take it out as an important gift, the performance of this product will definitely not be bad.
It has a bomb load of 1.2 tons, can carry air-to-ground missiles, anti-ship missiles, precision-guided bombs, anti-radiation missiles, etc., and its flight altitude is relatively high, and it will not be threatened by portable air defense missiles, so after destroying the enemy's air defense system, it can conduct a carpet search in a combat area and launch a large-scale bombing.
This is definitely a weapon of the country.
"I'll report the news right away and ask experts to come and accept it."
"In addition, I have a message to share with Mr. Cao."
Pan Wei has always been in contact with the twin-tailed scorpion drone equipment agency.
For some secrets, he is more or less aware of them.
"The first batch of twin-tailed scorpion UAVs has now completed various verifications and personnel training in the early stage, and has officially begun to equip relevant units."
Hearing Pan Wei say this, Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
This thing I made by myself seems to have exerted its power in advance.
Then your efforts will be rewarded.
And on the night after Pan Wei finished telling Cao Yang the news, the Huaxia TV military channel suddenly released a video.
Video of three twin-tailed scorpion drones cruising over the East China Sea.
There was even a special mention in the news that the video was filmed today, just above a sensitive island.
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused a very big shock in some places.
"Pulint, according to the information we have obtained, Huaxia's unmanned bombers have stealth performance, and our radar does not have any relevant records of the video they released."
"Is it possible that General Atomics will also further upgrade the Predator drone to a stealth drone?"
As a representative of the Pentagon, John was responsible for communicating with various arms companies.
So there's a lot of information he can get.
However, the more things I know, sometimes there are more troubles.
On the contrary, when you don't understand anything, you don't have so many worries.
"It is extremely difficult for UAVs to be stealthy, and we currently believe that stealth UAVs using wing-body fusion technology are a major direction for the development of high-end UAVs."
"And the shape contributes the most to stealth, and the shape of the fuselage and wings is the key to this type of UAV, considering both how to evade radar reconnaissance and aerodynamic characteristics."
"In terms of manufacturing, the technical requirements such as the gaps between the skin interfaces are also very high, which is currently recognized as a problem in the world."
"We don't have a way to fully produce it yet."
"As for the twin-tailed scorpion drone in Huaxia you mentioned, I don't think it's actually possible to achieve a stealth effect, and the aerodynamic layout doesn't support it."
"Unless they have a very huge subversive breakthrough in stealth materials, it is possible to further reduce the probability of being detected by radar and achieve stealth effect."
As the vice president of technology of General Atomics, Plint still knows a lot about the situation of drones.
In his opinion, unless the B2 bomber-shaped aircraft can be designed into a small UAV, it will be very difficult to achieve the stealth effect.
Now Huaxia's twin-tailed scorpion drone is so non-stealthy that it has achieved a stealth effect, and there must be some other reasons for this.
"So, do you think Huaxia has some different breakthroughs in stealth materials?"
John felt that the news seemed to be worse news.
After all, stealth materials can be used not only on drones, but also on large aircraft such as fighters and bombers.
If Huaxia's stealth materials really have a very big breakthrough, it will definitely be bad news for the United States.
After all, in the past, American aircraft relied on stealth performance and achieved very proud results on many occasions.
"I don't have evidence, but if their twin-tailed scorpion drone really goes around in a big circle in the East China Sea, and our radar doesn't find anything, then at least it means that their stealth technology has reached the level of large-scale promotion and use."
Pult's words were like pouring cold water on John.
What does Huaxia mean by announcing the video of the twin-tailed scorpion drone formation cruise at this time?
The cruising place is also over sensitive islands in sensitive sea areas.
According to the consistent practice of the Chinese people, the equipment they announce to the outside world is often not the most advanced equipment.
This means that Huaxia has more advanced products than twin-tailed scorpion drones.
Could it be a new generation of stealth fighters?
Is it still a new generation of stealth bombers?
Either way, it's a huge bad news for the United States.
Of course, Cao Yang doesn't care about their troubles.
At this moment, he is gathering several core personnel on the Nanshan robot to discuss the plan to further improve the combat effectiveness of the twin-tailed scorpion drone.
"Mr. Cao, to improve the combat effectiveness of UAVs, I think the most direct is the research of missiles and the research of optoelectronic targeting systems."
"Nanshan equipment in the field of optoelectronic technology reserves is the world's leading, as long as the relevant personnel to develop a set of electro-optical targeting system suitable for UAVs, then the UAV bomb delivery accuracy can be greatly improved."
"And it doesn't necessarily have to hang missiles, just hang some grenades, and use them with small drones in the sub-mother drone, which can have a great effect."
"After all, a small drone is suddenly launched into a special area, and it can play a very big role."
Pan Jinxing also attended the meeting today, so he took the initiative to take over the task of the photoelectric targeting system.
This is an area that Nanshan Equipment is good at, and he is not worried about not being able to develop it.
In the end, it is nothing more than a question of whether the developed thing is so easy to use, so that it is not impossible to figure out whether there is a problem.
"Actually, I think that if you can come up with a stealth missile, then the combat effectiveness of the twin-tailed scorpion drone can be raised to a higher level."
"In 1990, the United States began to install the AGM-129 air-launched stealth cruise missile, which was in service only two years later than the F-117 was released."
"The stealth aerodynamic layout of this type of missile is sci-fi, and the turbofan engine nozzle uses advanced black technologies such as active active cooling devices, exhaust mixers, infrared suppressors, and binary nozzles for the first time."
"AGM-129 is huge, the bomb is 6.35 meters long, it can only be pretended to be a strategic bomber, the range is more than 3,000 kilometers, and it is an ultra-long-range heavy missile, so the price is also quite touching, and the unit price is as high as 6.734 million US dollars."
"Of course, because it is too expensive and heavy, the United States has developed some upgraded versions of missiles later, but they are definitely not suitable for use on drones."
"If we can develop a series of small-sized stealth missiles suitable for all kinds of UAVs, then the significance is absolutely enormous."
For missiles, the engine is the most critical component.
Since Nanshan Engine began to enter the production of drone engines, Cheng Tao has also re-learned about engines for various purposes.
In Nanshan Engine, it is also specially divided into several groups to develop products for different application scenarios.
"Aren't we developing a four-engine twin-tailed scorpion drone right now?"
"With this kind of drone, at least two stealth missiles can be mounted as the upper limit target of the missile's size and weight."
"Then with those small civilian drones developed by DJI, which can also carry one as the lower limit of the weight, we have developed at least five models of stealth missiles."
"When the time comes, let our twin-tailed scorpion become the trump card on the battlefield."
Cao Yang directly began to assign tasks.
The contents of the warhead can be handed over to sensitive units, and the Namsan group only produces the other parts.
When the time comes, load the missiles with different ammunition, that's a matter for the relevant departments.
"Mr. Cao, our previous goal was that Nanshan Group was not involved in military production, and all we produced were civilian products."
"If we get all the missiles out, no one will believe that we don't produce military products, no matter how we explain it in the future."
"Wouldn't that be a bit of a cost?"
Zeng Tingting made a very important point next to her.
This is obviously very important for Nanshan Group.
"Our research results are mainly for firefighting purposes, so that our drones can carry different types of fire extinguishing bombs to the target area."
"So what we produce is naturally a civilian product, what does it have to do with the military industry?"
Cao Yang spread his hands, that is, he absolutely did not admit that he was producing military products.
Just like a twin-tailed scorpion unmanned bomber, the official positioning within the Nanshan Group is just a large unmanned aerial vehicle for logistics and transportation.
None of the other roles are given by Nanshan Group and have nothing to do with Nanshan Group.
"This ......"
"Fire extinguishers?"
Zeng Tingting found that her brain was a little insufficient.
It can even be explained in the direction of the fire extinguisher.
But it really doesn't seem to be a problem?
The things produced by Nanshan Group are not loaded with explosives, but reserved space for users to fill on demand.
It can be filled with explosives, fire extinguishing agents, or whatever.
Even in the instructions, it can be specifically explained that some things such as high explosives are not allowed, and each prohibited step is clearly marked on it.
When the time comes, there is absolutely no need to worry about not having customers.
Even Cao Yang felt that it was difficult for these products to be exported.
After all, objectively speaking, these things already represent the top level in Huaxia.
"Mr. Cao's logic really doesn't sound like there is any problem."
"As for what other people think of us, it doesn't matter!"
When Mi Ying said this, none of the people present refuted it.
After determining this general direction, it is natural to discuss how this business should be carried out.
Don't make a fuss without starting any work, that is definitely not the situation that Cao Yang wants to see.
"Then we will arrange personnel to study the fire extinguishing bombs, and see how to further improve the accuracy of bomb delivery when the time comes."
"At the same time, we can also cooperate with Nanshan Auto Parts to further upgrade the high-end aerial camera."
"When the time comes, our twin-tailed scorpion UAV can be used not only as a stealth bomber, but also as a stealth reconnaissance aircraft."
"In the future, we will eventually have all the military equipment that the United States has."
"And our production costs are less than half of the other party's."
"With this result alone, I think it is worth the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award."
Cheng Tao can't wait for the project to be officially launched.
At that time, the technicians of Nanshan Engine will be able to give full play to their abilities in this field.
Otherwise, simply relying on traditional engines, there is no need for so many R&D personnel.
And just when Nanshan Group was holding a conference, Huaxia announced an unprecedented policy.
