Chapter 1528 Confusing the US Anti-Missile System

On the edge of the Indian Ocean near Australia, an X-band radar of the US military is operating at high speed.

Nearly a minute after the missile was discovered, the X-band radar also locked the missile flying in the Indian Ocean through the early warning satellite.

The X-band missile tracking radar has a maximum detection range of 4,000 kilometers and a beam width of 0.14 degrees. It is difficult to detect the target by itself. It must wait for accurate information from the missile tracking satellite or tracking radar to find the target.

Two minutes later, all the twenty-four anti-ship ballistic missiles launched into the air in the first round began to disengage from the first-stage rocket booster.

The two-stage propellant rocket began to ignite. At this time, it is quite critical for the early warning system of the US military.

Fortunately, the U.S. military's space-based infrared early warning system uses multiple satellites to stare and track the missile's boost phase, so the tracking accuracy is extremely high, and it can accurately give the parameters of the missile's shutdown point, which is convenient for the calculation of the missile's landing point.

When the missile's second-stage thrusters began to fall off.

The landing point of the missile was calculated immediately.

"The target of the attack is confirmed to be a destroyer on the periphery of the fleet."

"Send missile data to the Indian Ocean Fleet immediately..."

The joint tactical ground station calculated the landing point of the first batch of missiles, and immediately issued an early warning to the opposing ship.

In the NATO Indian Ocean Fleet, Gertney was inevitably a little nervous, but at the same time he was a little lucky.

Fortunately, in this war, the Aegis systems on all warships have been turned on long ago.

Aegis radar uses electronic tubes, which must be warmed up. Each system must be turned on separately, otherwise the current overload is too large and cannot be started. Each system must perform a self-test after starting up, and cannot directly detect the target. It takes 10-15 minutes for the entire radar system to start up. If a missile is in front of you, it will be too late to intercept the missile.

It's just that at this time, the missiles for the second round of attacks also began to be launched, and this time there were still twenty-four missiles.

The early warning satellites immediately discovered the second batch of missiles and began to track them.

It's just that the U.S. military soon discovered that things became very difficult.

The V-2FJDD missile transforms the traditional parabolic trajectory into a jumping trajectory with multiple crests by adding a third-stage rocket motor.

Reduced the altitude of the highest point of the ballistic trajectory, making it difficult for the interceptor system to calculate the final impact point of the missile before re-entering the atmosphere.

The missile defense system's prediction of the missile trajectory is to limit the trajectory to a tubular area. During the flight of the missile, according to the known ballistic data, the radius of the predicted ballistic tubular area is gradually reduced. When it is smaller than the maneuvering radius of the interceptor can be intercepted.

The larger the range of the ballistic jump, the larger the area of ​​the tube-shaped area will be, which will bring greater difficulties to the prediction of the defense system, thereby greatly improving the defense penetration capability of the missile.

Knowing that the landing point of the missile is correct, but one does not know from what angle the missile will fall. If the defense area is too large, the loopholes in the defense network will also increase.

Five minutes after the launch of the first round of missiles, the early warning satellite issued the first batch of warnings on the trajectory change of the missile space trajectory, and the ground station calculated that the landing point of the second batch of missiles was 200 kilometers away from the previously calculated landing point.

This length coincides with the sea area where the aircraft carrier group is located. The Pentagon judged that multiple missiles could not malfunction at the same time, nor could they be used only to disrupt the line of sight. And mobilize low-orbit tracking satellites to continue tracking missiles.

The U.S. sea-based mid-course missile defense system was activated, began to receive missile trajectory information, and commanded the phased array radar to search for targets.

In fact, only when the information of the surface ship group and the missile early warning system is linked in real time and the position of the aircraft carrier group is known at any time can it be possible to quickly obtain the missile target information, otherwise there will be time delays relying on manual inquiries.

A few years ago, the U.S. military did not have such a capability, but now it is naturally very different, that is to say, the data link always transmits radio waves for contact, for electronic reconnaissance satellites and ground listening stations to search for targets.

However, at the eighth minute of the missile's flight, the propulsion systems of the twenty-four missiles that attacked in the first round were all shut down, and the trajectory of the missiles changed again.

But this is not the most difficult part. After the missile propeller stops, the warhead at the end of the missile opens and begins to release the decoy bombs.

The first batch of missiles released the decoys, and the third-stage rocket motors of the second batch of twenty-four missiles were also shut down.

Although the tracking satellite of the US space-based infrared system claims to be able to track the warhead of the missile after the engine is separated, and observe the release and expansion of the bait, this place is the Indian Ocean, not the hometown, nor the edge of Russia. There are only 9 satellites that can track .

If you want to closely monitor ballistic missiles and calculate the landing points of real warheads and decoy warheads, you must have at least 30 satellites in the area, otherwise it will inevitably affect the coverage of satellites, resulting in the inability to form a continuous and strict observation network. distance to the missile.

On the other hand, the satellite system now needs to observe two batches of 48 missiles, especially the second batch of missiles that hit the aircraft carrier is the key interception target. It is hard to say that the US military will mobilize all tracking satellites to observe the first batch of missiles, which will lead to low The ability to observe has declined again.

And if the ability to track satellites is strong enough to distinguish false targets by continuously observing target movements and releasing decoys, then there is no need for the United States to quarrel over the identification capabilities of the missile defense system.

"Damn it, why is everything in the ISF so off guard."

Carter, who returned to the Pentagon, was full of unwillingness on his face. He watched the entire process of missile detection and tracking, and an obvious meaning appeared on the result table, that is, these missiles could not be completely tracked and intercepted.

The most important thing is that if the target of these missiles is the United States, if these damn missiles are launched by the submarine of the Iraq-Syria Federation near the United States, and the warheads carried on them are nuclear warheads.

The local anti-missile system established by the United States cannot completely intercept all missiles.

This is the worst news. For the United States, it means that if a nuclear war really breaks out, the mainland of the United States will also be completely within the nuclear strike range of the Iraq-Syria Federation.

The Iraqi-Syrian Federation has nuclear weapons, and the outside world is just guessing, but the United States can be 100% sure that some of the nuclear warheads owned by the damned Jews have fallen into the hands of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

This is bad news that can make God tremble. At this moment, Carter is worried about the future of this war. The United States will face a huge crisis beyond the Cold War. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
