Chapter 562 Search and Rescue System
Gao Zhendong did not follow the leader's words and went down. Instead, he talked about the things that came to mind the first moment he heard that our pilot was parachuting.
"Dear leaders, let's put that matter aside. I want to say something else, something related to the fact that today our comrades worked hard to shoot down enemy planes one by one."
This The sentence "one for one" made the leading comrades concentrate, which was a bit irritating.
One for one, but the equipment is not bad. If the pilot has a shortcoming, it will be a big loss.
It's no problem to exchange equipment for the enemy, but it's hard to accept it if you exchange it for people.
“Comrade Zhendong, please tell me.”
Gao Zhendong originally wanted to talk about Master 7’s extremely collapsed ejection seat, but after thinking about it, it’s inappropriate. According to theory, this thing can’t be used by itself. I haven't seen it, so there will be problems if I bring it up now.
Anyway, judging from the current trajectory, it is impossible for Master 7’s imitation to bypass him. He will definitely attend the relevant meetings, and it will not be too late to talk about it then.
Furthermore, Master 7’s question is too targeted. To mention it in such a multi-system comprehensive meeting would be a waste of opportunity.
After thinking about it, he turned to another systemic problem.
"Today I heard the news that our pilots parachuted, and I have been worried in my heart. I believe that the mood of all leaders and comrades should be similar to mine."
Everyone nodded, Indeed, this news is very distressing.
“I was just wondering if we could organize a mechanism to ensure the survival probability of our pilot comrades to the greatest extent, so that the comrades who care about them can feel more at ease.”
Gao Zhendong's idea suddenly came to his mind just now.
His elders told him about an incident. Around the 1990s, a fighter jet training near the elders' home crashed and the pilot successfully parachuted out.
But because the plane crashed in a mountainous area and in an uninhabited virgin forest area, it took 24 hours to find this comrade.
And it was local comrades who found the pilot comrades.
Fortunately, the pilot parachuted in time, and the ejection seat used by Mr. 6 at that time was an improved model, which was relatively safe. There was no serious problem when he found it, but he is not so lucky every time. of.
At the same time, this also shows one thing, that is, until the 1990s, even on our own ground, the search and rescue system for pilots was imperfect, and there was not even a relatively complete plan and corresponding equipment. .
Gao Zhendong wants to try his best to change this situation.
At this time, all the comrades were waiting attentively for him to continue.
“Should we choose a type of equipment that can ignore the differences in terrain as much as possible and rush to the parachuting area of comrade pilots under various circumstances to search and rescue as quickly as possible. After all, we have various terrains There are, but not every time we are so lucky, there are villages nearby. "
Gobi, deserts, mountainous areas, virgin forests...
While the land is vast and rich in resources, it also has a great impact on our equipment and resources. The system has put forward higher requirements. Why do the guerrilla government forces of small countries prefer to buy second-hand light weapons from Shangsanchang rather than the so-called "high-quality products" from small countries? This is the problem. Some of the indicators of Shangsanchang and others may not be the best, but they must be The most adaptable.
The more you have, the more you have to pay for it.
In every possibility, we hope to give 100% effort, instead of doing nothing like the Citizen in front of the collapsed building, only lighting candles, placing flowers, origami cranes, and finally Just because I saved a cat, I was happy and joyful.
Gao Zhendong, who had thought too far, shook his head and put his thoughts back.
“I suggest that from now on, we should establish a complete search and rescue system for aircraft crashes and provide corresponding equipment. Pilots are different from the army and navy. They are the first to go out, which means that they are often isolated and helpless. After all, we are going to fight through it after all.”
“The limited space of the aircraft cannot carry much rescue-related equipment, and the special nature of the combat area also determines that if there is no accident, nothing will happen. Accidents, the environment and one's own condition are extremely complex and require rescue as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, he added the last sentence: "Especially the naval aviation, they can't even keep their feet on the ground."
At this moment, he thought of Eight Yao Yao Nine Liang.
Comrades from the Air Force especially feel the same way, "Well, what you said makes sense. Then tell me, in your opinion, what does the entire system need?"
Gao Zhendong Counting on his fingers: "Three big chunks: to ensure survival for a period of time, to ensure that the search and rescue team can be found, to ensure that the search and rescue team can start quickly and arrive quickly, and have the best terrain adaptability." The leader of the National Defense Work Committee admired Gao Zhendong's This style of talking about things in lines is clear and coherent, and it can also pick up the priorities and difficulty of implementation, and implement them step by step, rather than lumping them into a pile and failing to grasp the key points.
"Well, it's basically quite complete. How do you consider each piece specifically?"
What they want is Gao Zhendong's new ideas. In this area, especially the pilot's personal life-saving, originally it was not all-inclusive. No achievements.
Gao Zhendong also knows this: "As for the pilot's personal survival, there is already something in place. I believe it is more comprehensive than my idea, so I won't say more."
He didn't propose a meaningless thing like a "survival rifle". He should be safer and carry a pistol, and be more wild and imitate the old man with a short rifle.
“My main consideration is search and rescue. Originally, the pilot’s survival kit contained a communication radio, so I won’t say more about this. What I want to do is add a communication radio to the survival kit. The radio beacon transmitter must be able to work continuously for 8 to 24 hours and automatically start signal transmission from the time of ejection. ”
"The space of the survival bag is not very large. Even if it has this thing, it cannot carry it for long. It has to launch automatically. Should the pilot be allowed to switch it on and off according to the situation?"
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Use intermittent launch This method is relatively power-saving. The automatic launch can be made into a switch for the pilot to decide on his own, but the ejection must be turned on automatically. What I'm afraid of is that sometimes the pilot will no longer have the ability to eject. Go and turn on this switch."
His words shocked the comrades in the Air Force. Comrade Zhendong was so thoughtful that he even considered such details.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but the radio beacon is not large and has low power, so the range may be limited, especially in mountainous areas."
Gao Zhendong Diandian Head: "This involves the last important piece of equipment, the helicopter!"
Gao Zhendong knows that we have imported Mi-4 from Laomaozi, and the imitation has been completed and mass production is in progress.
"Helicopter?"
"Yes, I suggest that a professional rescue helicopter be improved on the basis of the Mi-4 replica. The helicopter must have optical search performance that is good enough. equipment, radio beacon search and positioning system, professional external lifting device, and can accommodate a combat rescue team of about 7-10 people.”
Although the Mi-4 looks old and ugly in later generations. , but the performance is good at this time. The standard range of 520 kilometers, the hanging weight of more than 1 ton, and the number of passengers on board are 11-15 people, which are all very suitable.
“Search and rescue type? That’s a good idea.”
As a piece of equipment with equally outstanding advantages and disadvantages, the helicopter has a relatively special purpose. It was originally a rescue type and could carry eight stretchers and one medical staff.
But the search and rescue type has not been considered. It is a new idea.
All the comrades present followed Gao Zhendong’s words and thought, eh, not to mention, this thing is really suitable for this task.
Except for fixed-wing aircraft, this thing is the fastest with a speed of 210 kilometers per hour, and can quickly reach the search and rescue location.
The belly is not small, it can carry people and equipment, it can take off and land vertically, and it has the strongest terrain adaptability. The suspension system allows the aircraft to retract and release people when it is unable to land.
A comrade also added: "If possible, it is recommended that there not be too many personnel, just a 5-person combat team + 2-person medical team. The space saved can be used to install some necessary first aid equipment, which can be used for emergency treatment on the plane." Some common emergency situations will be handled.”
Seeing this, the comrades participating in the meeting started from their own professions and offered their opinions and suggestions on this search and rescue helicopter.
Not to mention, more people make things easier. The search and rescue helicopter does not change the main structure and equipment of the helicopter itself. The main changes are the mission load, which is easy to change.
With everyone's efforts, at this meeting, the National Defense Work Committee and the Air Force made a decision on the spot. After the meeting, they sent the agreed-upon modification requirements for the search and rescue helicopter to the Northeast Helicopter Factory and asked them to implement it in Mi- 4 Modified on the basis of imitation type.
Seeing that the Mi-4 search and rescue type matter has settled, Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "For a search and rescue team helicopter, I suggest that there be not only this search and rescue type helicopter, but also one or two armed type Mi-4 helicopters. -4.”
Armed type? This is completely beyond the knowledge of the comrades here, but the good thing is that this term is so easy to understand that comrades in the Air Force can understand it as soon as they hear it.
“You mean, external weapons are installed on the basis of the Mi-4?”
“Yes, external weapons are installed on the basis of the Mi-4. The standard load capacity of the Mi-4 is 1.2 tons. , we can install fewer people, save hundreds of kilograms, and install external machine gun pods and rocket nests to suppress enemies that hinder rescue. After all, we have to fight.”
Since it is mainly performing suppression tasks, Gao Zhendong did not recommend mounting anti-tank missiles on it. Moreover, if anti-tank missiles were to be mounted, the modification would be relatively large, which is a bit unnecessary compared to completing search and rescue missions.
