Chapter 793 Fire Command System
"Mr. Gao, can you be more specific?" Mr. Yue said.
"For example, you go to the Land Installation Bureau and ask for a command vehicle. They have armored command vehicles now. Take them, modify them, and add them to your combat units. It is impossible to have a rocket launcher battalion and command post. Or running around in a small jeep?" Gao Zhendong chuckled.
"Ah, that's it. Your suggestion makes sense."
"Actually, the command vehicle is still the same thing. You can also consider equipping it with an armored reconnaissance vehicle. The Land Loading Bureau also has this thing. The reconnaissance vehicle is equipped with a scout. If you can use the vehicle to locate the location, use the vehicle to locate the location. When the vehicle arrives, If it doesn't work, let the scouts out. The vehicle can carry a lot of things, and if conditions permit, it will definitely be more efficient and more accurate than human reconnaissance. "Since the Land Installation Bureau has already produced these two things, If it is not fully used, it would be a waste.
"And this good thing?" Mr. Yue never expected it. When did we have these things on hand?
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Things are always developing and changing. If it didn't happen before, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen now."
Looking at Gao Zhendong's smile, Mr. Yue could probably guess that these two things must be closely related to Gao Zhendong.
"Okay, I'll go back and check with the Land Installation Bureau."
"In addition to these two ready-made products, you also need to consider what else you need in order to maximize the strike capability of this long-range rocket launcher. For example, high-end products such as weather vehicles and reconnaissance radars are not impossible to consider. You guys Remember, you are the longest-range and most powerful weapon in the army's hands. It is necessary to get more good things to supplement it. I think the Land Equipment Bureau is also very happy to hear about this matter. "
Gao Zhendong continued to lead them down the path of lavish spending. Although the artillery position reconnaissance radar was originally used to counter enemy artillery, it is not impossible to use it to improve the strike accuracy for your own people. After all, the function is already there.
After all, the range of the rocket launcher is too far, and it is greatly affected by weather and other reasons during flight. Sometimes the landing point may not be the expected value.
When a batch of artillery shells are fired, use the artillery position reconnaissance radar to calculate the impact point. If the deviation is relatively large from the target required to be hit, with the artillery position reconnaissance radar, you don't have to wait for feedback from the reconnaissance force in front, and the artillery shells are still flying directly. During the process, adjustments can be made according to the actual situation and another batch will be produced.
Gao Zhendong's words directly opened the door to a new world for Mr. Yue and others. Can these new gadgets be used in this way?
This is a problem of poor information. Firstly, they do not know that these things exist. Secondly, this is the first time they have developed strike weapons with a distance of more than 40 kilometers. They have not yet considered what conditions are needed to use these weapons effectively. Thoughtful enough.
Gao Zhendong pointed to the two mighty launch vehicles again: "With those, don't waste the launch vehicle itself."
"Waste?" Mr. Yue was a little confused. This thing was not wasted at all. That is to say, the load capacity of this car is not too high, so it can only hold eight rockets. If this car were bigger, he wished it could fit double digits.
"Yes, don't waste it. There is still a little bit of surplus in the vehicle's weight. If this cannon is really built according to the planned indicators, it would be a pity not to digitize such a good cannon."
"Digital artillery? What is this?" I've never heard of this thing.
"It's too good to achieve digitalization, but it's okay to get a preliminary one. Do you know about microcontrollers?"
"I know, I know, the comrades from the 12th Machinery Department have specially given us relevant training."
"Hey, it's good to know. You install a microcontroller on each cannon, and at the same time go to Changshan Guangyang Electronics Factory of the 12th Machinery Department." Gao Zhendong said while writing down the name of Guangyang Electronics Factory.
"Guangyang Factory? What does this factory do?" Mr. Yue's mind could hardly keep up.
"This factory specializes in rotating photoelectric encoders. They have military reinforced heavy-duty photoelectric encoders used for tank stabilization..."
With these foundations, some things can be done.
"Photoelectric encoder? Is it the kind that can be used to measure rotation angles? How high is the accuracy?" Sure enough, Mr. Yue knew about this thing and even had an idea for it.
"It's used for stabilizing tank artillery systems. It can basically be said to be of the same origin as yours. And you don't have to worry about how accurate it is. It can be used for tank stabilization. When you get it, you just add a deceleration mechanism and improve the resolution. Things, but it will never be useless.”
For tanks, it is necessary to ensure accuracy within 3,000 meters. Compared with rocket launchers, which require accuracy within 60 kilometers, the requirements are lower. But then again, tanks have to hit point targets. Compared with rocket launchers, this area suppression The accuracy requirements are much higher. Calculating the inside and outside, there is actually no order of magnitude difference in the encoder requirements between the two. If one can be used, the other can also be used.
"Yes, what you said makes sense. If we can have a microcontroller + a rotary encoder, and then connect the motor control, we can make automatic or semi-automatic settings for rocket launchers." Mr. Yue's mind was spinning. He quickly thought of Gao Zhendong's purpose.
Gao Zhendong waved his hand: "It's not just the mounting of the single cannon. Do you remember the things I just mentioned?"
"Chief Engineer Gao, what you mean is that a command vehicle directly sends the target coordinates through wired or wireless communication equipment, and then each gun is directly set automatically?" No one is a fool.
"Yes, that's what I mean, and the target source of the command vehicle can be issued by superiors, can be sent back by the reconnaissance vehicle, can be automatically or manually set after the scout reports, or can be calculated by the gun position reconnaissance radar Then directly send it back... In short, it is to improve the automation capabilities of the artillery, integrate the artillery into the command system of the entire army, and try to improve the degree of integration of information and firepower." Gao Zhendong directly boasted to dozens. Years later.
Not to mention, Mr. Yue really does this.
Listening to Gao Zhendong's words, his face was full of longing: "It would be great if what you said can be realized. No instructions are needed. Target data is sent from the front, the artillery is automatically set and fired..."
Although Gao Zhendong's description is very advanced, some of the basic details have a basis for implementation. After weighing the capabilities of subsystems such as microcontrollers, rotary encoders, motor control systems, etc., Mr. Yue found that this thing seems to be feasible. It’s really not impossible to add.
At least the automatic setting of a single gun is completely no problem, and the firepower unit collectively sends the target coordinates through the command vehicle and automatically sets it, which is not an impossible task.
Of course, the integration of the command vehicle to the outside is not something that can be handled within this fire unit. Even the automatic setting of the data returned by the reconnaissance vehicle still has some minor problems.
But this is not a big deal. At least being able to distribute target data within the fire unit is already a great improvement. As for how this target data comes from, that can be put aside for now.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
However, Gao Zhendong himself was obviously not satisfied with this matter.
"And you can develop a firepower command system for the firepower unit. In the command system, based on parameters such as the map, threat level, strike priority, etc., firepower is automatically or semi-automatically allocated and distributed to each gun, so that multiple guns can be struck at once. target, further improving the strike flexibility of the fire unit.”
If what Gao Zhendong said before was an outlook, and advanced functions may not necessarily be realized in a short period of time, then what he is talking about now is an advanced function that can be truly realized.
This does not involve firepower units other than internal distribution. Mr. Yue thought about it for a long time and felt that it seemed possible. As long as the rules were set, it did not necessarily have to be fully automatic distribution. Semi-automatic firepower distribution under manual intervention could be achieved. A remarkable thing.
"You can also introduce the status of each gun into the firepower distribution. For example, for the gun that has just been hit, you can temporarily not allocate firepower when it is not necessary, so that the status of the artillery and soldiers can be fully utilized. Rest and recovery are also conducive to the development of combat effectiveness..." Gao Zhendong gave him many examples, guiding him not only to shoot out the shells and hit them accurately, but also to try to maintain the status of the combat team.
"For another example, when the artillery in the fire unit fails, it will be marked in the command system. When a new mission comes, how to use the existing artillery on hand to achieve the best strike effect? Which remaining artillery will participate in the strike? How many rounds to play, etc., some of the things that used to need to be remembered, thought, and arranged by the human head can be left to the computer in the command system.”
Gao Zhendong is very imaginative and says whatever comes to mind.
Mr. Yue had never considered these strange ideas before. Although he thought they were a bit strange and even unnecessary when he first heard them, after thinking about them carefully, he found that what Mr. Gao said could really effectively improve the firepower unit. It is a good tip to ensure the combat effectiveness as much as possible.
"Mr. Gao, I have long heard that you used to be an excellent front-line commander. Now it seems that you are well-deserved. You have been so thoughtful." He also knew that not everything Gao Zhendong said was appropriate, but this kind of openness His thoughtful ideas and meticulous details taught him a lot.
What Mr. Gao did was to guide him to think in this direction, rather than feed him directly.
Gao Zhendong smiled and shook his head: "I used to be a small platoon leader, hahaha."
"Then you, the platoon leader, are now teaching thousands of troops how to fight. You may be considered the largest platoon leader in the entire army."
