Chapter 635: Machine Bomb Bomb Network Cooperative Passive Positioning

Chapter 635: Machine-bomb/bomb-bomb network collaborative passive positioning

Faced with this somewhat sudden request, He Ming did not give a direct answer:

"Yes, yes, but the project at hand by Mr. Chang is not directly related to us, so we have to report it to the higher ups."

"If it's convenient, could you tell me why you're looking for him..."

Only halfway through the question, Guo Liqiang answered directly:

"I just thought of a way to extend the effective attack range of this missile under the existing technical conditions, but it involves some problems at the system prediction algorithm level. I need to confirm with Mr. Chang."

When he said this, there was a sparkle in his eyes, and his tone of voice was much higher than when they were just chatting.

He Ming was keenly aware of the changes in the other party.

He knew that this was the sign of inspiration.

For "ordinary" researchers like them, this is an opportunity that comes only a few times in a lifetime.

Although the sudden flash of inspiration does not mean that you can directly come up with any results like a certain Mr. Chang who is not a human being, the relevant ideas formed in your mind are basically valuable.

Therefore, this situation must still be reported to Chang Haonan.

There is no guarantee that some new results will be produced.

But what He Ming just said was not entirely an excuse.

Chang Haonan did not join the No. 11 Project, and he is not a member of the Taihang Project, so I really don't know where the former is at the moment.

In short, it is neither in Shengjing nor in the capital.

For more details, you have to report to the Science and Technology Commission to apply for contact.

So, after a little thought, He Ming thought of a safer way:

"In this case, I will contact my superiors immediately and ask where Mr. Chang is currently and when can I meet him soon."

"As for Mr. Guo, you can settle down in our factory for a few days. During this time, you can sort out the ideas you just had and it's best to improve them. This way, the communication efficiency will be better after meeting with Mr. Chang. How about that?"

For Guo Liqiang, this was basically the best plan he could think of, so he nodded decisively:

"No problem, then why bother?"

After finishing speaking, he turned back and looked at a young colleague who came with him:

"Xiao Fang, please go to the department's internal hotline later, contact the hospital, and tell me that it has been confirmed here. Please ask the leaders of the hospital to organize a group of people with experience in foreign liaison as soon as possible to prepare for negotiations with the Pennant Design Bureau. .”

"As for the formal project feasibility report and proposal application, I will make up for it in a few days."

"yes!"

The entourage member named Xiao Fang answered simply and neatly.

…

He Ming's application was quickly passed to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

In fact, in most cases, meeting Chang Haonan does not require any particularly complicated procedures.

Just make an appointment with Torch Group.

The problem is that he is currently conducting high-altitude test on the turbofan 10 in 624——

Whether it is the 624 Institute, the Turbofan 10 project, or the SB101 high altitude facility, they are all top secret.

Fortunately, although Guo Liqiang and Chang Haonan are not familiar with each other, or the entire aerospace science and technology system has not had any direct relationship with Chang Haonan yet, they are all units under the Science and Technology Commission system.

Therefore, after Ding Gaoheng confirmed the situation with the Aerospace Science and Technology Group through the System Engineering Department in charge of the aerospace industry, he gave instructions——

Comrade Chang Haonan is performing a major project R&D and testing task and cannot leave within a short period of time. Considering that the actual situation requires it, Comrade Guo Liqiang is approved to go to Fucheng 624 Institute, but the itinerary needs to comply with the arrangements of the other party's agency.

Three days later, Guo Liqiang flew from Shengjing to Rongcheng with this instruction, the letter of introduction issued by Factory 112, and the relevant information he had summarized in the past few days.

As usual, a dedicated person from the 624 Station will be dispatched to pick you up.

Of course, Chang Haonan had already received news from Ding Gaoheng and knew that Guo Liqiang, whom he had only met once, wanted to discuss something with him.

So a day of less important content was specially arranged on the test schedule.

When the tired Guo Liqiang was brought to a conference room in the 624th Institution Building, Chang Haonan was already waiting here.

"Mr. Chang, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

The moment he saw the latter, Guo Liqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Guo flew to Fucheng specifically to find me. He must have something very important. It doesn't hurt to wait for a while."

Chang Haonan said, stood up and shook hands with the other party.

In the previous phone call, Ding Gaoheng did not go into too many details.

Of course he could guess that the purpose of Guo Liqiang's trip must be related to the ultra-long-range air-to-air bomb based on R33.

But I really can’t think of anything in it that is worthy of an interview with myself.

After the distance got closer, Chang Haonan noticed that Guo Liqiang's face was a little pale:

"Do you need to have breakfast first?"

"No, we've already eaten on the plane, it's more important to talk about business."

Guo Liqiang waved his hand and put the briefcase he was carrying on the table:

"Also, Mr. Chang can just call him Guo Gong. Speaking of which, I owe my position as director to you. If I hadn't been inspired by that paper, Thunderbolt 11 wouldn't have been finalized so quickly."

While they were chatting, he didn't stop moving his hands and already took out several bound books from his bag.

The two of them randomly found a seat beside the conference table and sat down.

"Mr. Chang, I actually flew here directly from Shengjing. Vice President He Minghe of Factory 112 said that it was you who recommended him to give me the project of introducing domestically produced and improving ultra-long-range air-to-air bombs."

Chang Haonan nodded:

"Yes, because I've done the math. After you finish the Thunderbolt 11, you shouldn't have much of a burden, and you'll just be able to take on the next step."

"So when I came here this time, I came up with a completely new idea."

Guo Liqiang said, pushing a few piles of information in front of Chang Haonan:

"Generally speaking, anti-radiation missiles with passive radar guidance function, whether the target is in the air or on the ground, need to be cooperated with a dedicated electronic warfare aircraft to maximize their combat effectiveness."

"But the range of the R33 bomb is a bit too far. Before reaching the end, the search range of our country's existing fighter jet airborne radars is not enough, making it difficult to provide complete mid-course guidance, and passive radar guidance is very accurate at medium and long distances. Even if it is not good, there is no way for the missile to accurately find the target based on electromagnetic wave traceability alone."

"As a result, the missile will either not be able to take full advantage of its ultra-long range and be forced to fight in the advantageous range of the medium-range missile, or it will easily break off in the middle after being forced out, unable to cause any damage to the enemy aircraft. A valid threat.”

"So I thought about whether we could use the large enough size of the R33 platform to not simply treat it as a missile, but as part of the entire search system, networked by the passive detection radar of electronic warfare aircraft and airborne long-range missiles. , positioning ultra-long-distance or low-detectability targets?”

At the beginning, Chang Haonan listened to Guo Liqiang's ideas with a relaxed and slightly curious attitude.

However, when he heard the last one, which was to let missiles and aircraft cooperate in coordinated searches, his expression instantly became serious and his brain began to work rapidly.

There is no doubt that Guo Liqiang's idea is definitely many years ahead of this era.

Using multiple aircraft to coordinate and use random agile multi-platform mutual guidance signals through a data link network to stagger the positioning of enemy radar systems was an idea in the 2010s, and no more than three countries have conducted relevant research.

In the late 1990s, data link networks were considered alien technology and were not something to be thought of in the short term.

Not to mention China, not even the United States has a multi-directional high-capacity data link that can meet this requirement.

But the requirements can be completely lowered. Instead of random agility to multiple platforms, there will be coordination between missiles of fixed models or even fixed codes, or between missiles and carrier aircraft.

In this way, only a non-universal one-way data transmission system is needed, and the difficulty is directly reduced by several dimensions.

By analogy, the former is equivalent to a true A-shooter and B-guider, such as using the F35 to guide the Standard 6, or the Su-35 to guide the 48N6 to hit targets beyond the horizon.

The key point is that neither A nor B needs to be specified in advance. As long as two gadgets that meet the requirements are fished out from the war zone, they can coordinate smoothly. It is a ruthless task that has only been tested in a few tests under ideal conditions until the 2020s.

But the latter is similar to the time when the Red Navy used relay helicopters to guide long-range anti-ship missiles to attack aircraft carriers. Although it sounds like A shooting and B guided missiles, A and B here are both predetermined. Changing one of them will It’s not working anymore.

So it was a mature technology even in the 1970s.

Although the tactical flexibility is a complete mess, it is better than nothing.

You know, the JH-7 that he designed before has relatively complete passive detection capabilities.

If two more missiles with networking capabilities are mounted, it will be equivalent to having two more weaker aircraft of the same type in this airspace, which can greatly enhance the accuracy of capturing targets.

More importantly, the missile is extremely fast and almost impossible to intercept, and it will continue to shorten the distance to the target as time goes by.

Of course, there is a cost.

Such a missile is designed almost according to aircraft standards, and the cost must be quite staggering.

Moreover, the flight window of the missile is relatively short, no more than 5 minutes at most. After capturing the target, it may be too late to turn around and launch an attack, and a follow-up attack is required.

In other words, at least 3-4 missiles must be fired in one attack.

But it is really impossible for the JH-7 to carry more ammunition.

If you really want to realize the potential of this combat mode, you can either change to a flying platform with more hardpoints and a larger bomb load, such as the J-11.

Or just put the entire system on the ground and use it as an anti-aircraft weapon...

For Guo Liqiang, Chang Haonan's long silence was as torturous as waiting for trial.

But he didn't dare to interrupt the other person's thinking casually.

Finally, after more than ten long minutes, Chang Haonan finally raised his head and looked at Guo Liqiang who looked worried again:

"Your idea...should be feasible!"
