Chapter 762 - A miniature missile, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky
"Mr. Cao, the filing of gallium nitride T/R modules for the export of polar bears has been done."
As the liaison representative of Nanshan Group arranged by relevant departments, Pan Jun witnessed the rapid rise of Nanshan Group in the field of military industry during this time.
Although Cao Yang never thinks that his company is a military enterprise, it is an objective fact that many products are used in the military industry.
Cao Yang naturally knows this.
"We, at Daystar Technology Group, have designed an automotive phased array radar based on more advanced GaN T/R components."
"This on-board radar uses the chassis of Xingchen G9, which has very strong off-road performance."
"In the event of a field battle or a local conflict, it should be able to exert a very powerful radar tracking capability."
"It can even be used as an important supplement to regional air defense, and the detection range of a vehicle-mounted radar can be farther and more accurate than that of today's ordinary radar stations."
"When the time comes, hundreds of such vehicle-mounted radars will be deployed across the country, which can basically form a new set of monitoring models."
Cao Yang knew that although he agreed with the export of various parts of Nanshan Group, he would give full play to the role of the market economy.
But radar is something special after all.
Nanshan Semiconductor sells medium-performance gallium nitride T/R components to Polar Bear, which will definitely greatly improve the performance of various radars of Polar Bear.
To a certain extent, it will definitely bring pressure to Huaxia.
Therefore, Cao Yang began to launch a new generation of vehicle-mounted phased array radar mobile platform very early.
Traditional phased array radar needs to be used with a special cooling tower because it is too hot.
Otherwise, it can only be made into a relatively small existence like an airborne radar.
However, after using the gallium nitride T/R module, the heat resistance performance has been greatly improved, as long as it is not turned on all day and night, the two on-board radars can be staggered and used, and basically can be completely separated from the cooling tower.
Although the vehicle-mounted radar certainly does not have a long detection range compared to the large road-based radar that also uses the gallium nitride T/R component, it is sufficient for local air defense.
When the time comes, combined with several super-large new roadbed radars, it can basically monitor all kinds of movements within a range of thousands of kilometers.
"Did you really get the on-board radar?"
Pan Jun's face was overjoyed.
During this time, he paid more attention to radar-related things, and he could be regarded as having a good understanding of them.
On-board radar is not a new thing, countries have been there for a long time.
Huaxia is no exception.
However, the performance of previous on-board radars was not strong, and more relied on the help of radar stations.
The vehicle-mounted radar that Cao Yang said is the kind of high-performance gallium nitride T/R component active phased array radar that can replace ordinary radar stations.
After the successful launch of this radar, it will play a very huge role in the face of local conflicts in the new situation.
"The first prototype car will officially roll off the assembly line this month, and we will work with relevant institutions here in Lingnan to carry out testing."
"At the same time, we will also try to deal with swarm tactics in combination with the special tactics of drones."
Cao Yang previously vigorously promoted swarm tactics with relevant departments, so that the twin-tailed scorpion drone and DJI drone quickly entered the service of relevant departments.
But how to deal with this swarm tactic is a problem.
The first is that when hundreds of drones attack together, how to let the radar independently track so many targets, this is a big problem.
Traditional mechanical scanning radar is certainly not up to the performance requirements.
Passive phased array radars do not have the ability to monitor too many targets at the same time, and they are also not good.
Active phased array radars using gallium arsenide T/R components, if the radar is large enough, can meet the performance requirements, but it is of little practical significance.
After all, that kind of large radar with an unfolded area of several hundred square meters has no ability to move at all.
It is also impossible to build such radars in large numbers throughout the country.
Therefore, at this time, there is a great demand for on-board radars that can monitor hundreds of targets at the same time.
Spear and shield!
Cao Yang got the spear out, and now he naturally wants to get the shield out as well.
The combination of data from this vehicle-mounted radar and air defense systems, whether using laser weapons, anti-aircraft missiles, or other weapons, makes it possible to deal with drone swarm tactics.
Even Cao Yang has arranged for relevant personnel to study the matching laser weapons.
Compared with anti-aircraft missiles, laser weapons will definitely be more cost-effective against UAVs.
Especially in the face of small drones like DJI drones, the price of a drone is not as expensive as a fraction of your missile.
So it is obviously not cost-effective to use an anti-missile system against UAVs.
In actual combat, it will be found that only at the beginning is somewhat useful, and the production speed of missiles in the back cannot catch up with the production speed of UAVs.
"If the performance of the prototype car can really reach the level you said before, then it will really be a subversive existence for Huaxia."
"In the future, our air defense system will definitely have a subversive performance improvement."
Pan Jun is also a person who knows goods.
After such a powerful radar system is put into operation, it means that Huaxia has a pair of very good "eyes".
When the time comes, missile technology will be further improved, and a high-performance air defense system covering the whole country will be completely formed.
If you think about it further, the vehicle-mounted radar can achieve such a level, then the level of the shipborne radar in the future will only be higher, not lower.
Then in the future, Huaxia's voice in the ocean will also be greatly enhanced.
And when Cao Yang and Pan Jun were communicating with the vehicle radar, Wu Feng of the Electric Technology Group was also very happy to call Cao Yang.
"Mr. Cao, at next week's Zhucheng Air Show, our CETC Group is ready to bring the latest generation of radars using gallium nitride T/R components to the exhibition."
"When the time comes, let people outside know that Huaxia's strength is no longer what it used to be."
"We can see everything they are doing around us."
Wu Feng is now very glad that he chose to seek cooperation with Nanshan Group.
There are so many surprises these days.
"The airborne radar you studied can already be displayed to the public?"
Cao Yang asked in surprise.
For a long time, Huaxia's weapons and equipment will be slowly considered for display to the outside world after large-scale equipment.
It's very rare to have something that hasn't been equipped yet, or has just started to be equipped, and then it's put on display.
It's not like the United States, where a piece of equipment has not yet been officially developed, and it has been publicized all over the world, telling everyone that I am going to make a bull breaking product.
Although research into the use of gallium nitride T/R components for radar production began at the beginning of the year, less than a year has passed now.
Normally, the planes of the relevant departments have just begun to carry new radars on some models.
In this case, Huaxia is often hidden and doesn't want others to know at all.
"It can already be demonstrated, and it has been specially approved by the higher authorities."
"Not only can it be demonstrated, but in the future, our active phased array radar can also be sold to the outside world."
"Of course, the version used internally and sold externally is definitely different."
Wu Feng gave his reply very affirmatively.
"That's for the best."
"It seems that Nanshan Semiconductor can invest in a few more production lines for gallium nitride T/R modules."
Although Cao Yang didn't know why the relevant departments were able to agree so quickly to show the most advanced radar to the public this time, this matter was definitely a good thing for him.
After all, if everyone knows that the radar using gallium nitride T/R components is good, there will be more orders.
"It is true that we need to make a few more, and I found that the yield rate of the T/R modules you produced is higher than that of our own production before."
"Therefore, in the future, we should not easily expand the relevant production lines within our own factory, and we will consider continuing to purchase from Nanshan Semiconductor."
Wu Feng is now full of expectations for Nanshan Semiconductor.
During this time, they also calculated the cost of airborne radar internally.
The cost of the parts produced by purchasing gallium nitride power components from Nanshan Semiconductor and processing them into T/R components is more than 50% higher than that of directly purchasing T/R components from Nanshan Semiconductor.
This does not take into account the hidden losses caused by unstable quality in the future.
After visiting Nanshan Semiconductor's T/R module production line, Wu Feng had no idea of continuing to do it himself in the company.
Because he felt that no matter what, it would be impossible to achieve a lower cost than Nanshan Semiconductor.
"Thank you Mr. Wu for your trust in Nanshan Semiconductor, and you can find us at any time to communicate with us if you have any questions."
"I believe that in the future, we will cooperate more and more."
Regarding Wu Feng's decision, Cao Yang was not surprised.
This time, due to the large-scale mass production of gallium nitride, many domestic radars will be updated.
Although the price of T/R modules sold by Nanshan Semiconductor in China is not high, you can't stand the great demand.
Therefore, the amount of money that needs to be spent in the end is also relatively large.
In recent years, Huaxia's demand for funds in all aspects is relatively large, and it is impossible to use all of them for radar upgrading.
For example, various types of missiles must also be upgraded at the same time.
Otherwise, if you just see the opponent, but there is no way to knock it down, it doesn't have much practical significance.
"Mr. Cao, this time at the Zhucheng Air Show, I heard that you are going to do something new?"
After Wu Feng chatted with Cao Yang for a while, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
At the Lion City Air Show at the beginning of the year, Nanshan Group brought a huge surprise to everyone.
Twin-tailed scorpion drones and aerospace technology missiles directly set an order record with big dogs.
Therefore, Wu Feng is full of interest in the exhibits of Daystar Technology Group.
"We will continue to show the twin-tailed scorpion drone, and when the time comes, we will bring the DJI drone to show you the mode of swarm combat."
"Two new products will also be on display on the day of the show."
"When the time comes, Mr. Wu, you have to take the time to come over to help guide and guide."
Although this information is not particularly necessary to be kept secret, Cao Yang still wants to leave some surprises for everyone.
Fortunately, Wu Feng didn't particularly bother.
However, after knowing that Daystar Technology Group will display two new products, he is full of expectations for this Zhucheng Air Show.
……
Zhucheng is not a big city, but the whole city feels very comfortable.
The greenery is well done, and it is coastal again, with a long coastline.
During the air show, many foreign tourists made the hotel in Zhucheng make a good profit.
On DJI's side, Wang Tao participated in the Zhucheng Air Show for the first time, and after two years of rapid development, DJI's influence in the field of drones has grown explosively.
Today, it is a unicorn with a valuation of more than $1 billion.
It's just that DJI, which is not short of money, has no intention of continuing to raise funds recently.
"Mr. Cao, we have learned some information from overseas dealers during this time, and I feel that we may encounter them on the side of Daystar in the future."
Wang Tao and Cao Yang stayed in the same hotel, and they simply set off together on the way to the air show site in the morning.
"What's the situation?"
DJI's current drone sales abroad are even higher than those in China.
Therefore, Cao Yang naturally attaches great importance to some information fed back by overseas dealers.
"It's that some customers buy our drones and install bombs or explosives or other things on them, which are used as weapons in some conflicts."
"There are even armed forces that use our drones to attack armored vehicles, using them as military aircraft."
At this time, Wang Tao obviously did not have the confidence and confidence that he had many years later.
So after hearing some information about the reaction of overseas dealers, he was actually quite nervous.
After all, if this matter spreads, there may be some bad effects.
However, Cao Yang's view is completely different.
He is not afraid of negative press in this area at all.
"Did those dealers say that after using DJI drones, the effect of the attack is good or bad?"
"That's naturally good, after all, our drone is definitely the king of the same type of products, and it belongs to the existence of no opponent."
Wang Tao is still very confident in the products he personally led the development.
"In that case, don't worry."
Cao Yang expressed his views clearly.
If the DJI drone is not easy to use, then he thinks that he still needs to think about improving it.
Now that it's working well, what's there to worry about?
Anyway, we only sell drones, which are developed for tasks such as photography.
As for the special transformation that consumers have to make after buying it back, that's their own business.
You can't just say I'm guilty because the drone I sold was picked up and killed, right?
The steel mills in China are too big.
After all, guns made of special steel don't know how many lives are taken every year.
"Mr. Cao, aren't you worried that this will affect our reputation?"
Wang Tao didn't particularly understand why Cao Yang was so calm.
This kind of thing is the easiest to be hyped up by some media.
Even Wang Tao thinks that in the future, there will be domestic and foreign media to hype up this matter, and even the United States will punish DJI for these situations or take further actions.
"Mr. Wang, don't you think this kind of thing is actually helping us advertise?"
"We just sold a 10,000-dollar drone, but these drones can exert so much power."
"Those special armed forces, even the official armed forces in many places, will definitely be very interested in DJI drones."
"At that time, we can even attach some special instructions separately to some special customers as a reference."
Cao Yang spread his hands, completely showing a different idea from Wang Tao.
This made Wang Tao stunned.
Fortunately, his brain turned quickly, and he slowly understood the essence of what Cao Yang said.
……
As the Pearl City Airshow was about to open, David of Boeing's vice president of trust and John of the Five Corners were having dinner at a high-end restaurant in the United States.
"John, the development speed of Huaxia has been particularly fast in recent years, and I feel that their technological changes in fighters, transport planes, drones, radars and missiles are even more earth-shaking."
"This time at the Zhucheng Air Show, according to the information we have heard, there should be a lot of new products on display."
"I'm wondering if we can arrange some products to be displayed from next year?"
David now vaguely feels the impact of the development of related industries in China on Boeing.
Boeing has always been a world leader in passenger aircraft, fighter jets, and missiles.
But the previous Huaxia twin-tailed scorpion drone, as well as the recently emerged gallium nitride power components, made him feel the changes of the other party.
"The air show in Zhucheng has always been a stage for Chinese people to entertain themselves, that is, several friendly countries in China such as polar bears will actively participate."
"If we go to participate, there's no precedent in the past, right?"
John was clearly not very positive about the matter.
Of course, if you really want to go to the exhibition, it doesn't have much to do with him.
After all, his job is not to be in charge of these things.
"In the past, there were no products that could be exhibited in Huaxia, and the influence of this air show was very small, except for some countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia that are interested in buying Chinese weapons, most countries will not attend."
"But from what we know so far, Huaxia has made relatively large adjustments to some of the exhibited goods."
"Many aircraft or missiles that have just entered service will be displayed at the air show."
"It shouldn't hurt for our people to get to know each other up close."
When David said this, John did not refute it.
In the face of more and more confident Huaxia, Wu/Jiao/Building also hopes to learn more about some news.
……
As a twin-tailed scorpion drone that once made a big splash at the Lion City Air Show, one of the world's three major air shows, it is naturally valued by the organizers of the Pearl City Air Show today.
Therefore, at the opening ceremony of the air show, the twin-tailed scorpion drone was directly invited to perform.
I have long wanted to let everyone see the power of swarm tactics, so Cao Yang arranged 30 twin-tailed scorpion drones, in the form of 10 in a formation, each carrying 12 DJI drones to participate in the opening performance.
In order to allow everyone to observe this performance up close, the twin-tailed scorpion drone flew at a very low altitude, less than fifty meters.
Spectators on the ground can clearly see what the plane looks like.
When the plane passed through the audience, 360 DJI drones were released at the same time, and then these drones quickly formed a giant dragon, and quickly formed different blessing words.
This scene made the audience participating in the air show addicted.
Taking advantage of the trend of the opening ceremony, the two products launched by Daystar Technology Group this time have also officially appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The first to bear the brunt is the miniature missile, which is mounted under the twin-tailed scorpion drone and under the DJI drone.
Although the name of this miniature missile is "miniature high-precision guided fire extinguishing bomb", everyone knows very well that if the ammunition is replaced, the fire bomb will become a bomb.
"Our fire bomb is a small and multi-purpose miniature fire bomb, suitable for a variety of launch platforms such as single-person portable, vehicle-mounted, and light UAVs, with a take-off mass of 3.0kg, a maximum speed of 277m/s, and a maximum range of 3.2km."
"Its engine adopts a solid engine with low smoke and low characteristics to maximize concealment performance."
"It can achieve precision composite guidance and has a high-performance and versatile warhead."
"At the same time, it has the characteristics of small size, short preparation time, simple operation, small collateral damage, ignorance after launch, and high cost performance."
"Whether it's for a moving fire suppression target or a ......"
Zhao Siyu, as the person in charge of the company, personally introduced this miniature missile to everyone.
And when he said these performance parameters, it immediately caused the surprise of many insiders.
Such a small miniature missile, how powerful is it?
If it is really mounted on a twin-tailed scorpion drone or a DJI drone, it can play a huge advantage in some specific occasions.
It can even be further enhanced by the twin-tailed scorpion drone to mount the DJI unmanned home, and then the DJI drone to mount the micro missile.
Once this method of warfare appears on the battlefield, it will definitely have a very huge impact.
It can be said that this is an earth-shattering product.
In the past, missiles always gave everyone a feeling of stupidity.
Not to mention the giant of ICBMs, they are ordinary ship-based missiles, and their size is also amazing.
Even the relatively small air-to-air missiles are actually not small at all.
It's like a morning star, directly making a miniature missile weighing several thousand grams come out.
This is really surprising.
Sure enough, the things produced by Daystar can always bring surprises to everyone.
So before Zhao Siyu continued to introduce the second product, many people immediately raised their hands and wanted to ask various questions.
It can be said that the booth of Daystar Technology Group has become the most popular existence in the entire Zhucheng Air Show from the beginning.
This is the envy of many exhibitors around.
