Chapter 1174 Equipment Update (Part 1)
1173. Equipment Update (Part 1)
I only saw this representative of the Halo Weapon System Group who clicked on the data in front and said: "The Pelican is empty Currently, we have chosen the D77-TC model, which is the most difficult to implement, with a length of 30.5 meters, a height of 23.3 meters, and an unladen weight of 138 tons. It has strong maneuverability and stronger survivability, and can be airborne in any battlefield environment. "
In the screen, the Pelican transport plane is enlarged. "In the original design, the Pelican was equipped with electromagnetic pylons and physical pylons, with a maximum load capacity of 67 tons. But our engineers adjusted it Design, installed an anti-gravity device on the Pelican, and changed the engine to a super-matter engine, which increased the maximum weight of the Pelican to 220 tons. After optimization, the interior of the cabin can be loaded with a Scorpion tank or carry soldiers. 40 people, on this basis, it can also hoist and transport cargo of at least 150 tons through the pylon!”
“Not only that, the enhancement of the engine allows us to add a deflector shield to the Pelican! and auxiliary engines, which enhances air and space combat capabilities, and the maximum cruising speed in the atmosphere can also reach Mach 1.8 - of course, if you really want to hang something down there, it is best to choose subsonic cruising, hahahaha.” The representative of the Halo Group laughed, "But this also greatly improves the Pelican's penetration capabilities. They can completely penetrate a city with a strict air defense system, drop their things, and then return safely!"
He continued: "Furthermore, the Pelican's excellent carrying capacity allows us to hang four sets of missile pods on the wings. Each set of pods can install 8 missiles, plus a blaster laser cannon on the nose. , and you can open the hatch when flying at low altitude, and use the preset bracket to use the grenade launcher or laser cannon to increase the firepower output."
Qi Jian also wrote something in his notebook. , then raised his head and asked: "What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Pelican transport aircraft and the LAAT/I assault transport boat currently widely used by the Galactic Republic?"
The representative of the Halo Group said: "Now The Pelican transport aircraft has actually combined the Galactic Republic technologies that we can use, including anti-gravity devices, hypermatter engines, blaster cannons and deflector shields, but we have not lost the Pelican because of this. Original design intention. "
"Compared with the LAAT/I of the Galactic Republic, the Pelican has a larger carrying capacity, faster speed, and better protection. Its only weakness is that ours has slightly weaker firepower. The engineers did plan to add a weapon pod to the sides of the Pelican, but later decided that there was no need to add anything to it and just keep its own characteristics! So, yes, the function of the Pelican is very simple! Deliver it to the point! It’s done!”
The representative of Tai Lun Heavy Industry on the side stood up and said: “But our G-226 medical transport aircraft fully considers the battlefield support capabilities. A remote treatment system has been added, which can treat infantry units on the ground directly from the transport aircraft! In other words, with the support of the medical transport aircraft, our soldiers can fight for a longer time!”
Another staff officer looked at the information and scratched his head, and said: "However, it seems from this report that if a medical transport aircraft wants to directly treat a ground infantry unit, the infantry must take off their clothes, and the transport aircraft needs to descend to about 50 meters. The height of 50 meters is quite dangerous. Even the blaster rifles of the Republic army can threaten our transport aircraft. And..."
He continued to flip through some experimental records, "If you don't take off your clothes. In the case of clothes, the skin that grows may grow together with the clothes... And during the experiment, some people made calculation errors due to different body types, resulting in some strange... uh, things growing on the wounds."
"These things can be surgically removed after returning to the base! As long as they do not affect the soldiers' actions and combat at that time, it is enough!" said a representative of Tyron Heavy Industry. Several staff members looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
An older female staff officer said: "At present, our army's battlefield rescue includes the first-aid spray produced by Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group as emergency treatment, and then medical soldiers The medical equipment carried on the body serves as the second layer of protection. With these two layers of protection, the wounded can be supported to the transport aircraft and transported back to the rear field hospital. In this case, the battlefield treatment role of the medical transport aircraft is also important. It can’t be a big improvement or help.”
"But..." The representative of Tai Lun Heavy Industries wanted to argue, but Qi Jian waved his hand to stop him.
"Well, the current next-generation updated procurement plan for our army's frontline transport aircraft has determined that the model is the D77-TC Pelican transport aircraft of the Halo Weapon Systems Group. The G-226 medical transport aircraft will not be purchased by our army. The APOD-33 transport aircraft currently in service will gradually withdraw from front-line combat forces," Qi Jian concluded.
"Then...the next topic is...Tailan Heavy Industries' Hercules Dropship." The secretary adjusted his glasses and said.
The representative of Tai Lun Heavy Industry suddenly became energetic this time. She cleared her throat and said: "The goal of the Hercules transport aircraft is to make up for the lack of large transport/landing ships in our army. At present, we The main large landing ships used by the army are the Diamond-class multi-functional transport cruiser produced by the Technology Alliance, and the C-9979 landing ship produced by the Trade Alliance. "
"Although the Diamond-class multi-functional transport cruiser has good performance. , but it also takes into account combat missions, so the cost is higher, and after all, it is a spacecraft that needs to be imported, and the cost is even more difficult to control. The C-9979 transport ship is extremely unreasonable in terms of space utilization, so it can only be used. Onboard the Rookery Hook-class battleship ”
"So... the emergence of the Hercules transport ship will allow our army to deliver armored units and infantry units faster when conducting large-scale landing operations. The Hercules transport ship is 100 meters long and 27 meters high, and can carry an entire combat team The battalion's troops can also carry three Thor mechas. It can be said that only one Hercules transport ship is needed to immediately suppress a landing position and..."
Representative of Tyron Heavy Industry. He said with some pride: "We have also overcome one of the biggest design problems among the Hercules transport ships. We have combined the transport ship's carrying compartment and rescue cabin. Even if the transport ship is shot down, the troops and armored units transported in it can land successfully. And The optimized loading and unloading system of the Hercules transport ship can unload everything it carries within 2 minutes!”
