Chapter 422 Electronic Warfare, Not Just Interference
Another big and small event in mid-August was the official admission of graduate students of the class of 1997.
As a special yet ordinary member of the group, although no one has treated Chang Haonan as a normal doctoral student, the process must be followed.
So, he still had to report to school and register his student status.
Fortunately, the school's management methods for graduate students, especially doctoral students, are hugely different from undergraduates, so for people like Chang Haonan who are bound to not follow the normal training plan, it is a big save. Less hassle.
For example, he registered at the graduate school of the college a few days later than other students.
In this era, there is no Xuexin.com and online archives, so it doesn’t matter how early or late it is.
On this day, when Chang Haonan was about to enter the graduate department, he happened to meet two old acquaintances pushing out the door of Tang Lintian's office.
Li Jie and Xu Yang from the Institute of Computing Technology, Academy of Sciences.
After the development of TORC Multiphysics software was completed, considering that the latter was loaned out from the original unit in March this year and has been running around outside since then, Chang Haonan did not assign her new tasks and directly Let the latter return to the computing office.
As a result, they hadn’t seen each other for three weeks, but they met again at their own school.
What a fate.
"Xiao Chang?"
Tang Lintian, who personally escorted the guests out, first noticed Chang Haonan on the other side of the corridor.
Then the other two people also looked here.
"Chang Haonan?"
"Comrade Haonan."
Li Jie suddenly smiled and walked quickly to Chang Haonan.
The latter also took the initiative to shake hands with the other party:
"Academician Li, long time no see."
In fact, the two had not met many times before. The main intersection was during the period when the software was just being designed.
At this time, Tang Lintian also followed closely behind and walked over:
"Xiao Chang, came to the administration building today. Is there anything you need my help with?"
Since the last time the compressor research center passed the approval and started construction, Tang Lintian was eager for Chang Haonan to come to him every day with something to do.
You know, after learning the news, Qinghua University, Bingcheng University of Technology and Zhejiang University almost immediately found him and expressed their hope to "co-construct" this research as a participant center.
Of course, the results obtained from this will naturally be shared.
More importantly, the alliance composed of several top domestic schools, which had always been shrouded in mystery before, finally extended an olive branch to Beijing Hang University.
With such immediate results, if he could do it a few more times, Tang Lintian felt that he would soon reach the pinnacle of his life.
It’s just that I have been looking around for many days, but I still can’t see Chang Haonan.
As a result, today was a good start, which naturally made him extremely excited.
However, Tang Lintian's eagerness did not receive a reciprocal response.
"I... came to report as a new student."
Chang Haonan answered truthfully.
This unemotional answer made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward for a while, and even felt like a dog chasing a goddess.
Even Xu Yang couldn't help but hold his forehead and shake his head.
And Tang Lintian, who was full of hope just now, could only touch his temples in embarrassment:
"Oh, yes, your doctorate has just enrolled..."
It's not that he has a bad memory. Okay, just look at the things that Chang Haonan has done in the past few months. How can any normal person figure out that he is a young man who just got his bachelor's degree a few months ago?
In the end, it was Li Jie who spoke, breaking this scene that Tang Lin would never forget for half his life:
“By the way, Comrade Haonan, Researcher Xu also wants to come to you this time for something. ”
"Ah?" Xu Yang obviously didn't expect that the topic would suddenly be brought to her, and it was not her initiative to follow him today:
"You don't have to bring me here..."
But before she finished speaking, Li Jie continued:
“Didn’t you say before that there was a new algorithm that could reversely solve signal encryption? Comrade Nan’s new technology..."
"But I have only completed the preliminary development of that algorithm..."
Having said that, Xu Yang finally explained the ins and outs to Chang Haonan:
"Okay, That’s what happened.”
“I still remember that when we were designing the electronic jamming pod, you mentioned an idea to me, saying that we could design a special antenna that could pass through the ionosphere or comet trails. The scattering effect simulates the directional signal emitted by the satellite?"
Chang Haonan was confused by the other two, but he did mention this idea to a few people such as Xu Yang and Ding Gaoheng. Yes, so I nodded:
"Of course I remember that the idea at the time was mainly to interfere with satellite navigation signals and use it to disable the enemy's precision-guided weapons, such as cruise missiles or satellite-guided bombs. However, this process does not require any complicated algorithms. . ”
The difficulty of this matter mainly lies in the hardware, that is, the antenna design mentioned by Xu Yang, how to disguise the signal as being transmitted from a satellite.
The current GPS has just been put into use. Military and civilian uses only have different open frequency bands and different accuracy, and almost no anti-interference design has been considered.
In fact, due to its one-way communication characteristics, there is not much room for maneuver in terms of anti-interference.
So much so that until more than 20 years later, interfering with GPS is still a matter with a low technical threshold.
"It is true if it is just interference."
Xu Yang casually smoothed the hair beside his ear:
"But this is a bit too wasteful."
"So I am doing it Try to develop a new algorithm that can be reverse-engineered and then restore the navigation signals transmitted by the GPS satellites and re-transmit them to generate any new coordinate points we want."
This sentence is a bit confusing, but. Chang Haonan understood what she meant almost immediately:
"You mean, it can be directly controlled instead of just interfering with the other party's GPS navigation equipment?"
"Yes, but this requires support at both the algorithm and hardware levels." Xu Yang nodded:
"I originally planned to come to you to solve the hardware design problem after I have understood the algorithm, but since I encountered it today, I will talk to you first."
"..."
After listening to the other party’s description, Chang Haonan gave a positive answer after a little thought:
"It's indeed feasible. We can talk about it in detail later..."
In fact, it's not like he hasn't thought of similar ideas before.
However, if Chang Haonan is allowed to spend his own time, energy and even scientific research points to develop such an algorithm, the price/performance ratio is really low.
Because although it is not difficult to deceive GPS, once this method is noticed by the other party, it is too easy to counterattack.
After all, whether it is navigation equipment or guided weapons, they do not just rely on satellites.
Just add a filter program to compare the GPS signal with inertia or starlight, a guidance method that cannot be interfered with. Once you find that the coordinates given by the satellite have a huge drift compared with the integration result, just block the signal directly.
In the end, after a long circle, the effect is still similar to that of simple GPS interference, that is, it can only make the positioning inaccurate, but it cannot cause too obvious deviation.
But since Xu Yang has proposed this idea now, she can be responsible for improving it.
It’s okay to be a one-time killer.
Anyway, hardware design is different from targeted deception algorithms. The former is a one-size-fits-all thing. Even if the other party counterattacks, it can be used for other purposes.
Seeing the two chatting enthusiastically, Li Jie, who was standing next to him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because of the fact that he had worked with Chang Haonan for several months before, Xu Yang directly transformed into a high-intensity pressure monster after returning to the computing institute this time. In less than a month, four or five more people followed him. The researcher she worked with had an explosive mentality.
This time he came to Beijing Hang University to discuss with Tang Lintian the construction of a second Sugon 1000A supercomputer funded by the school.
The reason why I brought Xu Yang, who has little to do with this matter, is to find an opportunity to throw her to Chang Haonan again——
You two are talented men and women, do whatever you like. Play, let us ordinary people go...
