Chapter 617 - Soft Kill Self-Defense Countermeasures System (SKSPCS)
As soon as the three of them were chatting, all the equipment brought with the transport plane had been unloaded and loaded.
However, the plane did not stay long, and after turning around on the taxiway, it quickly returned to the runway to prepare for take-off and return.
Lingshui Airport does not have the ability to support the Il-76, and it cannot even refuel.
Fortunately, the range of the improved model was long enough, and the remaining fuel was enough to fly back to the Yiling base in Hubei Province.
This is also the meaning of doing long-distance transition flight training.
If you just walk around your own base, even if the flight time is long enough, it is difficult to have this kind of tension in the face of unfamiliar airspace and unfamiliar ground crew.
A lot of problems don't usually show up, and only in this case will they appear.
As for the technicians of the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering, they naturally got into the car separately, went to the arranged accommodation, and prepared for the final commissioning and inspection of the pod before hanging up later.
"By the way, two comrades."
Tang Yiping, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head slightly:
"Why don't I gather the pilots in the regiment who can fly the J-8C in the afternoon, and you can determine the candidates?"
"If possible, you can also fly a few more sorties, so that more comrades can familiarize themselves with the flight characteristics after the equipment is mounted."
Obviously, he had already tasted the sweetness last time, and he had to prepare in advance.
What if another opportunity similar to the embankment strikes ahead?
However, Xu Yang in the back directly waved his hand and said that he didn't need to:
"In this regard, Commander Tang is more proficient, we believe in the judgment of professionals, and the J-8C is also a new model, the condition should be about the same, you can make a decision."
For her, it doesn't really mean much to pick a pilot.
Because there really is no such thing as a difficult operation.
And she, a person who has never even entered the cockpit of an airplane, has no way to judge the level of other people's business.
As for familiarity with flying qualities......
In fact, this set of equipment has no possibility of mass production in a short period of time.
Only one fixed-use land-based jammer and one mobile jamming pod were available.
If it weren't for Chang Haonan's insistence on completing the follow-up mobile jamming test, she might not even have made this trip.
No, I should say definitely not.
Sitting in the back seat of the cheetah off-road vehicle, Xu Yang half-leaned on the edge of the window, and exhaled a long breath of distress.
How did she, a lazy person who was just squatting in the laboratory to do theoretical research, unknowingly become a field engineer on a business trip to run field tests in Manhuaxia?
It's outrageous.
"If I'm up to decide...... So what is the general process of this test, can you reveal it? ”
Tang Yiping was not hypocritical, and took out a notebook directly from his pocket.
Xu Yang slightly recalled the details that he had determined with the leaders of the Electric Technology Group and the Naval Equipment Department before leaving:
"The surface ship force will cooperate with us to launch six modified YJ-8A target missiles from a frigate to simulate cruise missiles launched by ships or submarines."
"The only thing that needs to be paid attention to in the whole test process is that the target projectile range is only 75 kilometers, and the flight time of the whole process is no more than 4 minutes, so the effective interception window is only about two and a half minutes, and the pilot needs to be able to seize the opportunity in time."
"But on the other hand, the area of the experimental airspace is relatively small, and there are almost no concerns about searching for targets."
"Oh yes, in addition to a jammer with a pod, you also need an auxiliary aircraft to accompany the target bomb, preferably a two-seater, so that the pilot can concentrate on flying at ultra-low altitudes, which will not be so dangerous."
Tang Yiping, who was in front of him, wrote down these contents quickly, and the expression on his face became relaxed:
"There is nothing wrong with the two-seater aircraft, although the main equipment of the 25th regiment is the J-8, there are still a few J-6 that are used for adaptive training for new pilots. If it doesn't work, our division has another regiment equipped with J-7, which can be transferred from there to use it. ”
In principle, after he was promoted to deputy commander of the aviation of the South China Sea Fleet, he could no longer be regarded as a member of the 9th Division, but in reality, after his promotion, the leaders would definitely use this kind of expression when mentioning the old troops:
"In addition, this training method is basically the same as the method of interception of low-altitude cruise missiles by the J-8C using the Thunderbolt-11 that we tested at the beginning of last year, and there will be no technical problems."
"It's just...... This YJ-8A is an anti-ship missile with inertial guidance and terminal radar guidance, and we used missiles to intercept it directly, so it doesn't matter how to guide it, but this time since it is a test of GPS jamming effect, it ......"
As a matter of fact, Huaxia is still only in the process of building its first set of satellite navigation system, the Beidou generation, and there is no decent satellite positioning equipment in the army except for some hand-held GPS positioning terminals purchased by commanders and fighters through different channels.
"Commander Tang doesn't need to worry about this."
The one who replied was Guo Lin, who had never opened his mouth just now:
"The 14th Institute of our electrical science department has dismantled the warheads of those target missiles and replaced them with simple guidance modules based on civilian GPS positioning systems, although they are not very good in terms of accuracy and obstacle avoidance logic, but they are only enough as target missiles."
Last time, they had verified the effectiveness of this jamming device for military GPS navigation systems, so the focus of this round of testing is on the effect of targeted multi-target jamming, and whether the jamming device itself can still function as usual when it is in motion.
So this time it is not a big problem to change the jammed target to a civilian version.
Of course, the main problem is that there is really no other P-code receiver that captures the P-code......
"In that case......
Tang Yiping put the pen back in his pocket and looked at the notebook in his hand for a while:
"Then I'll fly the test machine myself!"
……
Three days later.
The same is at Lingshui Airport.
A J-8C fighter with the number 81091 was parked at the end of the runway, and Tang Yiping, wearing orange flight gear, was doing a final check before takeoff.
The pod, which resembles a fuel tank, is now hanging from the center pylon on the belly of the plane.
If it is stranded on an older aircraft of the past, then if a completely new ammunition or equipment wants to be put on board, especially for complex equipment such as pods, it is even necessary to make extensive modifications to the carrier aircraft itself.
However, after the advent of the data bus system, as long as the new weapon is compatible with the bus, it only needs a few software-level modifications to be used.
In the past three days, in addition to waiting for the frigate to complete the preparation and go to sea, it is to debug the functions at the avionics level.
After confirming that there was no problem with the state of the aircraft itself, Tang Yiping lowered his head and selected the No. 4 pylon on the multi-function display at the bottom left of the control panel in front of him.
Inside the weapon control system, this thing is called the Soft-killing Self Protection Countermeasure System.
Soft-kill self-defense countermeasures.
SKSPCS。
The Chinese army rarely referred to a piece of equipment in such an obscure way, preferring rather simple and crude naming strategies such as "Konggan 100".
In addition, Tang Yiping's English level was relatively average, which caused him to spend a lot of effort to remember the official name of this thing.
Even the technicians at the 14th Institute of the Electric Power Department call it a GPS jamming pod on a daily basis.
In fact, this name was given by Chang Haonan when the project was first established.
Certainly not to imitate the habits of NATO's side.
Rather, it is emphasized that it is not a "weapon", but a protective device used purely for self-defense and countermeasures.
In this way, when it is put into use abroad in the future, both domestically and internationally, the obstacles will be much smaller.
According to the requirements of the task briefing before boarding, Tang Yiping adjusted the working mode of the equipment to "3".
This jamming pattern focuses on the GPS altitude signal in an area, inducing the guided weapon to misjudge its own altitude and detonate or crash early.
After everything was done, Tang Yiping slowly pushed the throttle stick forward from the slow position.
"Tower, Unit 01 is ready to take off."
