Chapter 951 Remote Acupuncture
Bringing back a batch of cruise missiles is actually a big or small matter.
Taking it a little further, even strategic bombers have been obtained, so these kh55s, which are of the same technical level as the Tomahawk, seem to be just an add-on at most.
But speaking of the bigger picture...
There is no small matter when it comes to nuclear weapons.
After all, Figure 160 is written in black and white on the denuclearization agreement, and no one can find anything wrong with it.
But missiles are an extraneous matter after all.
Even if you say that the kh55 equipped with nuclear warheads and the kh55 equipped with conventional warheads are two different types of equipment, after all, they cannot be distinguished from each other in terms of appearance and inscriptions on the missile body.
As for the incredibly complex serial numbering system of the Soviet Union...
At this moment, I am afraid that even the few idiots after the separation can’t quite figure it out themselves.
After all, the fewer people know about it, the better.
Thinking of this, Qiao Chenqing waved to Li Dewen, who was about to leave:
"Captain Li, wait a moment."
"Here we come!"
< br>The latter immediately stopped and turned to face Qiao Chenqing.
"This magazine..."
Qiao Chenqing pointed to the top of his head as he spoke:
"Can it be closed without starting the aircraft?"
The huge magazine The door can actually block all views from the side, and the entire rotating launcher is buried deep inside the aircraft, so unless someone comes to their position directly under the aircraft, they can't see what's going on inside.
But he still felt that it was safest to close it quietly.
"This..."
Li Dewen hesitated:
"The range and speed of the several IL-76s used to transport ground equipment are not enough. In order to ensure flight safety, they will fly in Russia tonight. Rest, it is expected to be delivered tomorrow afternoon..."
"Then..."
Just when Qiao Chenqing was about to say forget it, Li Dewen suddenly lighted up again:
< br>
"However, there is a crank handle in the cockpit, for emergency use. You can manually close the magazine."
"..."
Hearing this sentence, several people around him almost They all looked at the two hatches that were quite exaggerated in size.
Saving effort in shaking the handle is ultimately based on the principle of leverage. The energy saved must be recovered from the number of turns. If you want to close these two things, I am afraid it will take some effort...
"Ask a few more comrades to come over. It's safer to close the door."
Qiao Chenqing slightly lifted the cotton hat on his head and said to Li Dewen:
"If you work harder these days, I will contact the comrades of the Aerospace Science and Industry Group as soon as possible to come and pick up these rounds. , they should be interested."
Li Dewen then saluted and took the order.
Looking at his retreating figure, Qiao Chenqing, who was in a good mood, turned around and wanted to pat the open magazine door in excitement.
As a result, I had already stretched out my hand, and then I realized that I couldn’t reach it...
He had no choice but to punch the front wheel of the plane.
This set of actions is a bit funny, but with Qiao Chenqing’s identity, it’s really hard for everyone to laugh.
The situation was a bit awkward for a while.
“Ahem——”
Qiao Chenqing also felt that she had lost her dignity just now, so she coughed twice, and then quickly changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, Comrade Haonan."
"I just saw that there are three rounds in total in the magazine. The Third Aerospace Institute should only need one or two rounds at most. Look, your aviation In the industrial system, is there any demand for it? ”
Although the aviation power and aviation industry have completed the group restructuring for several years, the older generation like Qiao Chenqing is still used to it. It's difficult to change the name for a while.
And in fact, since the two parties do not directly compete at the business level, and even mainly cooperate, the relationship is indeed much closer than other pairs of old enemies.
“The value of these kh55 rounds is mainly reflected in the overall structure and ballistic control system. As for the aerodynamics and structure... they can only be considered quite satisfactory. For our aviation department... there is nothing worth referencing."
Chang Haonan followed Qiao Chenqing towards the direction of No. 3 and No. 4 machine sheds and replied:
"Only the small turbofan engine is a bright spot, but our current problem is not that we don't have this technology. It's about lack of funds and manpower, so even if one or two samples are taken out, it won't have much effect."
"But..."
Originally, he wanted to do it early. Just tell the other person something that I've been thinking about but never had the chance to do.
As soon as he said a transitional conjunction, he was interrupted by Qiao Chenqing who suddenly stopped:
"Small turbofan... do you have a ready-made model on hand?"
Chang Haonan quickly shook his head:
"Having technology and having a model are two different things. Right now, turbofan 10 is in the critical stage of production and finalization. , The results of previous training through this project are still settling, and it is not suitable to spread the stall too much in a short period of time.”
“So, the group still plans to use key models to train in recent years. The team’s ability is the main factor.”
Hearing this answer, Qiao Chenqing’s face showed a little regret:
"That's a pity."
Chang Haonan didn't say anything, but looked at the other party curiously.
Qiao Chenqing paused for a moment, then took another step:
“At the end of last month, based on the use of weapons and ammunition by the US military in Aiwuhan, we conducted a precision guidance exercise involving the entire army. Weapons Seminar. "
"Comrades from the Third Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry told us that in order to ensure the Donghai 10 long-range cruise missile was put into service on schedule, they planned to install the same turbojet engine as the KD63 on it. The range will be shortened from the originally planned 2,500 kilometers to about 1,500 kilometers. "Of course, this should actually be a key concern of the Navy and the Second Artillery. I just heard you mention the small turbofan on the kh55, and that suddenly occurred to me. The one who got up about this..."
Chang Haonan showed a look of understanding.
The so-called Donghai 10 is actually the later Long Sword 10.
It’s just that China does not yet have the technology to allow cruise missiles to accurately strike ground targets, so it plans to use the same missile body to launch a long-range anti-ship missile to deter carrier-based aircraft outside the combat radius. Aircraft carrier battle group.
However, it was quickly discovered that the target of anti-ship missiles is moving warships, and it takes almost an hour for subsonic missiles to fly more than a thousand kilometers, which involves target search and relay guidance. The problem cannot be solved either.
So it was settled.
"Mr. Qiao, in fact, the small turbofan or turbojet engine used in cruise missiles is one-time use, so the technical difficulty is not really high. The Aerospace Science and Industry should also have a certain technical foundation."
Chang Haonan thought for a while and said:
“If there is really a need in this regard, then we will give priority to them and we will assist and modify a turbofan based on the old turbojet. It won’t take too long.”
“But to be honest, in terms of our country’s actual needs, there may not be a qualitative difference between a 1,500-kilometer range and a 2,500-kilometer range. Cruise missiles, especially land attack cruises. The key technologies of missiles are mid-course planning and terminal target screening and identification.”
"Oh?"
Listening to Chang Haonan's eloquent words, Qiao Chenqing also became interested:
"Your aviation power group also has research on these?"
"Yeah ...Strictly speaking, it’s not our group that conducts research.”
Chang Haonan raised his hand and touched his chin lightly:
"It's me doing some research."
"..."
"..."
The surrounding air seemed to be quiet for a moment.
Seeing no one answered, Chang Haonan had no choice but to continue explaining:
"When I was doing theoretical derivation before, I accidentally developed a series of algorithms that can be used for classifying and processing image data. I am currently trying to use this as a basis and combine it with some other technologies to complete image segmentation and contour tracking."
“If the technology is tested and there are no problems, it should be able to be used as an effective terminal guidance method, which is equivalent to allowing missiles to automatically identify and track targets through images like human eyes.”
< br>"Combining terrain matching tracking and satellite guidance can improve the final accuracy of the weapon...well...by an order of magnitude."
Now, it's not just Qiao Chenqing.
Other people around also pricked up their ears.
It is now the beginning of the 21st century, and a full 10 years have passed since Operation Desert Storm.
The myth of precision-guided weapons has been disenchanted, at least within the military.
Due to the inherent shortcomings of satellites in altitude measurement, the accuracy of missiles guided solely by GPS or similar means can only be considered unsatisfactory.
At present, it can probably reach 20-30 meters.
The worse ones may be up to 50 meters.
And it’s easy to be disturbed——
Especially this point, due to someone, has now taken root in almost everyone’s mind.
In short, if you want to achieve more refined operations, you need laser guidance or TV guidance.
But the former requires something to continuously illuminate the target, and is very significantly affected by the weather.
The latter is subject to the full human loop, and the limit distance of effective control is only two to three hundred kilometers.
Therefore, the matter of "remote acupuncture" is actually not as magical as imagined or promoted by Americans.
It’s very difficult.
However, what Chang Haonan said just now has once again attracted everyone's attention to this -
What if the missile can identify the target by itself like a human being?
Isn’t that equivalent to lifting the control distance limit of TV guidance?
Improve the accuracy by one order of magnitude, that is 2-3 meters.
In other words, if you are one thousand kilometers away, two thousand kilometers away or even further away, you don’t need to take the risk of providing any laser irradiation. As long as you have a rough coordinate data and the outline of the target, you can send the missile to On the target's head.
It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is accurate to a window.
But accurate to a floor, or a car...
It doesn't seem completely impossible.
"Can... still have such technology?"
Among the crowd, I don't know who asked first.
"Well...theoretically it certainly is."
Chang Haonan replied firmly:
"However, a binary computer cannot completely imitate the operation of the human brain. …Of course, in fact, we don’t quite understand the operating logic of the human brain…”
"In short, the current focus of research is still on processing static images, that is, photos. It may take a long time to identify dynamic images, especially dynamic images with complex angles..."
I don’t know Is it an illusion? When he said this, Chang Haonan seemed to hear someone letting out a sigh of relief...
