Chapter 1187 A New Confrontation Mode

At this time, Brigadier Wei Shijun also came rushing from a little distance away.

In fact, he had been moving towards Chang Haonan since they first met face to face. It was just that the celebrating crowd was too crowded, so it was delayed a little.

"Academician Chang, this is Researcher Dai Pengxindai who is conducting research at our base, but he has been with a brother unit before... It just happened that our brigade had a launch mission today, so the entire base sent representatives to observe... "

Chang Haonan smiled and waved his hand:

"Researcher Dai introduced himself just now, and he and I are colleagues."

Dai Pengxin also explained:

"You know, ballistic missiles with mobile penetration capabilities are developed on the basis of the Type 21 missile. As a developer, we also need to understand the use of front-line units..."

As an independent arm, the Second Artillery Corps has adopted a corps-brigade-battalion organization from the beginning.

As of 2005, each military-level base generally has 3-7 missile brigades under it, and each brigade contains 12 launch battalions that literally mean "one gun for the entire battalion."

Of course, the unit of the base is too large. It is generally not used as a combat unit like the army of the big brother of the army. It just concentrates the missile forces under a single military region together, making it easier to manage administratively.

Therefore, the equipment models among the brigades in the same base are also different.

For example, the main target of Dai Pengxin's visit and investigation is most likely the 822 Brigade next door equipped with the updated Dongfeng 21.

He has always been the envy of the commanders and fighters of the 810th Brigade.

However, at least today, Brigadier Wei's mentality is relatively balanced.

After all, they have the opportunity to fire a precious live ammunition, to some extent, it is a blessing that the equipment in their hands is old enough...

After a brief exchange of greetings, Wei Shijun also knew that he had nothing to say about specific technologies, so he quickly found a reason to command the launch battalion to withdraw, and while putting on his gas mask again, he turned and left the command post.

The other two people quickly returned to the previous topic.

"Actually, at the beginning, our idea was to make the warhead roll at high speed during flight. This would stabilize the trajectory while consuming part of the reentry energy, thereby reducing the reentry speed. On the one hand, it would allow time for attitude adjustment, and on the other hand, it would allow time for attitude adjustment. On the one hand, it is also to weaken the thickness of the plasma sheath as much as possible..."

Dai Pengxin introduced:

"However, after actually conducting control rate simulations, we found that the slider and guide rail inside the warhead will exert a large inertia moment on the projectile during rotation, resulting in a very strong difference between the control rates of the roll channel and the pitch channel. The coupling effect, so there is no way to be opportunistic, we still need to consider using a more direct method..."

Chang Haonan was a pure aerospace engineer in his previous life, so he had no in-depth exposure to the development process of anti-ship ballistic missiles.

But even from a few words, he had heard of the idea of ​​"hitting moving targets by reducing reentry speed."

But looking at it now, I'm afraid I stopped continuing halfway through the research.

Although Chang Haonan probably has no chance to know how the technicians in the previous life finally solved this problem.

But fortunately, he now has his own way.

Moreover, the previous ideas of the Second Academy may not be of any use value...

"Different types of warheads have different specific characteristics. All I can say now is that, in principle, self-sweating materials can indeed directly reduce the surface temperature, but if you want more specific data, you'd better wait until we return to the capital. After that, it would be better for the two project teams to come forward to cooperate.”

Chang Haonan first gave a satisfactory response.

Dai Pengxin only had initial contact with Chang Haonan, so naturally he nodded repeatedly.

But before he could speak, the latter changed the subject:

"In addition, if you are sure to cooperate with us, it would be best to add your previous research results on roll deceleration and variable center of mass maneuvers."

"oh?"

This request obviously exceeded Dai Pengxin’s expectation:

"Academician Chang, your research...also requires the use of variable center of mass maneuver technology?"

"For hypersonic weapons, the control torque provided by the metamorphic core is too low... so it is not used for maneuvering..."

Chang Haonan shook his head and continued to explain:

"Based on our research results on biconical warheads, the interference torque experienced by the missile can be converted into a roll acceleration interference term and introduced into the autopilot closed loop. If it can be combined with slider control, it can be used to offset external interference. item to improve terminal hit accuracy.”

After hearing this idea, Dai Pengxin thought for a moment, but seemed to have failed to keep up with Chang Haonan's flexible problem-solving ideas like a loach.

But the latter's explanation just now is quite general, so it is impossible to analyze it from it.

He had no choice but to convince himself and temporarily accepted this setting:

"Academician Chang, I will report to the superiors immediately after I return..."

…

Just as the 810th Brigade celebrated the successful launch and began collecting and analyzing full-range data. The results of the surface-to-air missile interception test have also been sent to a group of Air Force leaders who were meeting.

Obviously, the situation is not optimistic.

Without predicting the direction and time of the target's attack in advance, even the most basic shooting preparations could not be completed.

If it were under actual combat conditions, then the air defense position itself, or the important targets it protected, would most likely have been destroyed by this mere attack.

Although everyone has previously estimated the power of hypersonic weapons, but simply thinking about it, it is impossible to be as intuitive as the confrontation test results in black and white.

After a long moment of silence, Qiao Chenqing adjusted his sitting posture, and then asked Sun Zhejun, the air affairs director next to him:

"This Commander Lu Zhicheng, I remember he was the one who went shooting in Suzhou last year and successfully passed the acceptance test with seven out of seven shots?"

The latter nodded:

"That's right, but all the personnel in Suzhou were highly qualified, so Comrade Lu Zhicheng actually personally commanded the missile launch company. He is one of the most experienced commanders in the field of anti-missile interception in our army..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the other people around the conference table changed slightly.

The most experienced commander in the army, equipped with the most advanced air defense system currently.

As a result, the stable tracking target cannot even be achieved.

This can certainly no longer be said to be a subjective matter.

It should be said that with the arrival of a batch of new equipment in recent years, the Air Force was already quite confident in the air defense level of important areas in key areas.

Especially after the test last year, which proved that the latest generation of air defense missiles are capable of resisting short- and medium-range tactical ballistic missiles, we breathed a sigh of relief after a long absence.

As a result, less than a year after the breath was released, it was tightening again.

"Comrade Lu Guang."

Qiao Chenqing looked at the head of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute sitting at the end of the conference table:

"Do you think... can the latest air defense system we are developing effectively face such ultra-high-speed targets?"

Lu Guang had actually guessed that he would be asked this question just now, but he still pretended to think deeply for a while to avoid appearing too frivolous:

"The basic Hongqi 9 has been delivered to the troops for trial at the end of last year. The current feedback is that except for the short range, other performances are roughly equivalent to or better than the S300PMU2..."

“However, the two systems are still essentially products of the same generation. Our research and development focus that year was also to strengthen the ability to deal with multi-frequency and ultra-low-altitude targets... If faced with high-speed incoming ballistic targets, the performance may not be essentially the same. The gap..."

His answer was quite tactful, but the meaning was not difficult to understand——

cannot.

Qiao Chenqing couldn't help but show a somewhat troubled expression:

"It seems that the new three-on-three defense is a bit outdated... We need to study the 'new three-on-three defense'."

Although the words were somewhat humorous, no one present could laugh.

Seeing this, Lu Guang comforted everyone a little:

"At least now, research on hypersonic weapons by various countries is still in the verification stage, so the situation is not as tense as it was more than ten years ago..."

His words had some effect.

After all, in order to defend the coastal cities, the air defense troops were forced to even pull out the Type 59 anti-aircraft guns.

But comfort is just comfort after all.

The Chinese army has always been prepared for danger in times of peace.

"A great man once said that we should despise the enemy strategically, but pay attention to the enemy tactically. The technological strength of the Americans cannot be underestimated... Their research on hypersonic weapons should still be ahead of us."

Speaking of this, Qiao Chenqing paused for a moment:

"Comrade Lu Guang, if we assume that the US military will be equipped with hypersonic missiles like this in the next few years and define them as tactical weapons, what is a more reliable response?"

It should be said that, judging from the time point of 2005, his analysis is actually quite reasonable.

Although it is true that there are no models that have been equipped with the troops, the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and NASA have established their own hypersonic research institutions.

No matter how you look at it, it is a lively and prosperous scene.

And this time, Lu Guang’s answer was also very quick:

"Then the only way is to develop an air defense system specifically for anti-missile, just like the United States and the Soviet Union did back then!"
