Chapter 1393 Semi-Automatic Control

The head of Cyric has never been short of sexual thoughts, and every one of his thoughts is the best and the easiest to turn into reality.

If you listen to the idea of ​​President Cyric, you will feel your own shortcomings. What President Cyric proposes can be solved by using existing technology. It is such a good idea. It is in his own research. It takes a lot of effort to dream, but can't find it.

Hearing that Cyric said that he had new ideas, everyone present pricked up their ears. As for Dr. Kalemer, he took out a small notebook and planned to quickly write down the thoughts of President Cyric.

"Using the joystick, this is just how our first-generation missiles operate. The second-generation missiles must be able to be controlled semi-automatically, that is to say, the shooter's job is to aim at the target, and then the missile will fly according to the target designated by the shooter. In the past, the adjustment of missile flight was completely automatic."

This goal proposed by Cyric is, of course, what all technicians wish for.

The history of later generations is also the same. Germany completed the research and development of the Little Red Riding Hood anti-tank missile before the end of World War II, and after the war, out of fear of the Soviet Union's rolling armor torrent, European countries began to invest in anti-tank missile research.

Britain's "Vigilance", Switzerland/West Germany's "Cobra", Sweden's "Bantam", etc. Among them, the SS10/11 researched by the French is the earliest and most influential.

It can be said that this first-generation missile was a success, allowing infantrymen to kill enemy tanks at a long distance. However, the United States abandoned the first-generation anti-tank missiles and just purchased a large number of French SS10/SS11 missiles as test samples .

This made many people in democratic countries unhappy. At that time, many congressmen accused the Army of "sloppy" giving up a powerful weapon.

Faced with this kind of doubt, the military's solution was to invite a few favorite "thorn-headed members" to watch the launch of SS11 on the spot. Anyone who has watched the missile test will instantly overturn their impression of the missile.

This thing is just a joke!

It's not so much a missile as a large model aircraft. The operator uses the hand joystick to control the aiming frame to lock the target, transmit data to the missile to control the trajectory, and finally hit the target. This is how later generations of humans control drones to hit targets.

During these tens of seconds, the shooter must maintain a high degree of concentration, and the missile will be out of control if he is not careful. Because the height is very low, it is easy to fall to the ground. At the same time, the smoke and flame when the missile is launched will expose the shooter. target, but also affects the shooter's observation.

In actual flight, it goes up and down, left and right, just doing random Brownian motion, and it all depends on luck if you want to hit the target!

So the Americans simply ignored this and jumped over to do it semi-active.

Under the technical conditions of World War II, the use of joystick control is in line with the characteristics of this era, which is why Cyric agreed to the first generation of missiles to enter the army.

But this can only be a foreshadowing, the most suitable solution is to come up with a semi-automatic one!

Semi-automatic means that in the process of launching, the shooter still has to aim at the target until the missile hits, while in full-automatic mode, you don't need to worry about it after launch. When the missile is fired, the personnel can retreat.

Now that Cyric has come up with semi-automatic control, it would be the best if it could, but is it possible?

In everyone's eyes, this is all whimsical. As long as it is aimed at the target, the missile can fly according to its own aiming, and everything is adjusted by the internal equipment itself?

Even Dr. Kalemer only dared to think when he was dreaming.

But now, Cyric has proposed it, and everyone knows that since he has proposed it, he must have more specific ideas.

"Everyone thinks, for missiles, if you want to hit the target, how should you adjust it?" Cyric asked.

Kalemer, of course, has the most say. He immediately said: "Of course, adjust the angle to keep the missile always on the correct course."

The shooting process is actually very simple. It is to make the three points of the scope, the missile and the tank in a straight line. This is the same as the principle of aiming at the three points of the gap, the front sight and the bullseye when shooting, that is, the coincidence is in the aiming. on-line.

If the missile deviates from the line of sight, the shooter manipulates the handle on the controller to angle the missile back to the line of sight.

"Yes, it is to adjust the angle." Cyric said: "We add an infrared transmitter at the tail of the missile, and on our console, an additional receiver to form an infrared goniometer. During the flight, the angle at which the missile deviates from the line of sight is automatically measured."

For semi-automatic missiles, the most important thing is the infrared goniometer. With the development of German electronic technology, transistors can be produced in large quantities, and the performance is particularly stable. In this way, the new automatic control circuit can also be completed.

For designers, many times it is just one call away, and Cyric's call is definitely just right.

In front of Kalemer's eyes, there seems to be a flying missile. There is a small infrared transmitter at the tail of the missile. In its own receiving system, the angle of the missile's deviation from the line of sight can be clearly measured.

Then, use the circuit to change this deviation angle into an operation command, transmit it to the missile in front, and let the missile control the steering of the rudder surface, and finally fly to the target!

In fact, it is equivalent to turning the manual control lever into automatic control, so that there is no need to train the shooter to operate, as long as you can use it.

The complexity of the system is greatly improved, but the complexity of the user is greatly reduced.

"Of course, this is just an idea of ​​mine. There may be many difficulties in it. I hope everyone can overcome the difficulties and realize this semi-automatic control missile as soon as possible." Cyric finally said.

"Yes, President Cyric, we will not disappoint your expectations." The unspeakable Kalemer actually said so much, which made Dr. Langeweiler curious.

"Führer Cyric, you are talking about semi-automatic control, can the missile still have fully automatic control?" Dr. Langeweiler asked suddenly.

"Of course there is." Cyric said: "Compared with semi-automatic control, fully automatic control is more difficult, and this is the direction we will focus on developing in the future. For example, in terms of airborne missiles, it is inappropriate for us to use the operating lever. The current method is not suitable, we have to use new methods.”

Dr. Kalemer listened more seriously.
