Chapter 292 Radar Technology

World War II was a period of great technological development. Many technologies of later generations were developed during World War II, such as rockets, jets, and radars.

Radar is a kind of equipment that uses the reflection of electromagnetic waves to detect objects. It is precisely because of the radar that the United Kingdom was able to detect the position and batch of fighter jets attacking the Luftwaffe in advance when Germany bombed London, and then guided the interception.

During World War II, Germany was advanced in many technical aspects, but did not include radar. Germany's radar technology in World War II can only be said to be sufficient.

Cyric, who came from later generations, of course knows the huge advantages of radar. Therefore, Cyric wants to change all this, let Germany have advanced radar equipment in the early days of World War II, and maintain this advanced nature!

In the radar, the most important core component is the magnetron. During his first trip to the island country, Cyric reached an intention to cooperate with the island country, and introduced the magnetron technology of the island country, and then went through his own transformation. , has become the core equipment of the radar.

In fact, as early as 1904, Dr. Huelsmeye of Germany first proposed the principle and hypothetical structure of radar. Unfortunately, his theory went beyond the era at that time, so it did not cause great social significance. The electronic technology of that era still It's too backward to make it at all.

Dr. Hans.E.Hollmann, the "father of radar" in Germany, continued and developed the theory of radar and applied the results to actual production.

It can be said that Dr. Hollmann devoted his whole life to the research of radar. When he was teaching at Darmstadt University, he had already started to study the high-frequency electromagnetic waves with the wavelength of centimeters.

After that, Dr. Has.Kard von Willisen, who was also very interested in radio, joined Hollmann's research. They found an investor, Guenter Erbsloeh, and established GEMA, which specialized in radar research.

And this company, a few years ago, has been heavily funded by the government, and their products can be developed quickly.

Cyric attaches great importance to radar, which will be an advanced weapon that will change the entire era! Under his attention, Deutsche's radar is making rapid progress. For example, when the Deutsche-class was in service, radars for detecting surface ships had been installed, which was also an early study by GEMA.

After continuous development, now they have adopted the latest technology, using 50 cm radar waves, they can already detect large and small ships within 15 kilometers, and more importantly, more accurate, the error in distance is within 50 meters.

In the process, H.E. Hollmann also registered a patent for an even better multi-cavity magnetron.

In these experiments, he also found that after these radar beams were concentrated, they could effectively detect aircraft at a height of 500 meters and a distance of 28 kilometers. Thus began the research on air-to-air radar.

And now, when they have already produced results, Cyric attaches great importance to this, and came to inspect it in person.

After obtaining sufficient gold from Spain, Germany does not have to worry about any financial problems at all, and all aspects of technology can also develop in great strides. Now, GEMA is Germany, and it is also the world's best in radar technology research!

Along with Cyric, there is also Goering. Although Goering and Cyric are in conflict, their positions are still the same when it comes to enhancing the military power of the empire. Now, this kind of aircraft that can detect the sky Of course, the equipment will greatly affect the future air combat!

The car was parked next to a huge antenna, which was a loop antenna with a diameter of 7.4 meters! It looks extremely huge, and the base of the antenna can be rotated. The huge thick cable is connected to a room not far behind the antenna. In the distance, the sound of the generator car is rumbling.

"This is the latest air-to-air radar that we have learned from various experiences." Dr. Hollmann explained to the visiting Cyric and others with great interest.

"Our radar, called Wuerzburg-Riese, has further improved the transmission power of the magnetron, reaching a detection range of 80 kilometers, and at the same time, the resolution has also been greatly improved."

"The accuracy of the horizon and longitude is less than 0.2 deg. The altitude error is less than 0.1 deg, which can completely warn the enemy aircraft and guide our aircraft at the same time."

When it comes to World War II, many people know about the battle over London, and the British radar seems to be majestic. In fact, Germany also has the same radar. This radar, codenamed Wuerzburg-Riese, is one of the outstanding representatives. But it was the end of World War II.

And now, a few years in advance, this advanced radar has been developed! The most critical magnetron is now also able to work stably.

After reading the antenna first, the group entered the computer room. Inside, there was a large picture tube. At this time, sharp waves were jumping inside.

"Now, there is a plane flying towards us, 60 kilometers away. Judging by the speed of the other party, it will pass over us in eight minutes."

Goering looked at his watch, but did not speak. He went outside again, looking at the sky with his pilot's eyesight.

Time passed little by little, when eight minutes later, a JU52 transport plane flew over Goering's head.

"If this thing is deployed, we will be deprived of the joy of flying!" Goering said involuntarily.

This kind of thing, can accurately detect the aircraft, what does that mean? Flying in the sky has no secrets! As Air Force Commander, Goering certainly knew the great value of this radar!

"Our Air Force will order a batch of these radars." Goering immediately stated that during the day, the pilot's vision can reach 60 kilometers, but what about at night?

The first advantage of this kind of radar is that it can guide the aircraft to fight at night!

Dr. Hollmann was overjoyed for a while. Although there was continuous funding from the state, the military's equipment was the only way to demonstrate the value of their research and development. Now, Goering immediately decided to equip the equipment, which is the embodiment of their value!

"This radar can be finalized after passing the durability test," Cyric said. "At the same time, we still have many aspects that need further development."

Now, it is certainly not enough to have simple air and sea radars, radars are useful in many ways!
