I have to say that our group of researchers are very dedicated. It has been a few days since we got this information. These days they have been calculating, discussing, and calculating. When they are tired, they just lie there and sleep. When they wake up, They continued to work hard, and finally, through their unremitting efforts, they perfected the design of the new fifth master bit by bit according to Jiang Yan's vision.
Today everyone gathered in the conference room of the Three Machinery Department again. The purpose of this meeting is to determine whether the Wuye project should be modified and implemented according to the latest design given by Jiang Yan and give a final conclusion!
Minister Yue, who attended the meeting on behalf of the Three Machinery Department and the Research Institute, looked at everyone in the conference room and said very seriously:
"Comrades, you have been studying the relevant information for a few days. Now, should we come to a conclusion? Should our Fifth Master project be improved and implemented according to the content of this information?"
After Minister Yue finished speaking, Mr. Lu quickly took the lead and said: "The design improvement plan provided by Comrade Jiang Yan is very forward-looking and foreseeable, and it also takes into account practicality and strong achievability. It is very A good design plan. As the chief designer of the Wuye project, I suggest that we improve and implement our Wuye project according to the design improvement plan proposed by Comrade Jiang Yan."
"What's more important is that I very much agree with Comrade Jiang Yan's overtaking theory on curves. If it is implemented according to the improvement plan proposed by Comrade Jiang Yan, our fifth master will not only not lag behind that of other countries of the same generation when it is produced. The technical level of fighter aircraft can even be said to have achieved cornering overtaking in some aspects, far ahead of other countries!"
"I agree with Mr. Lu's opinion!"
"I agree!"
Many experts and project personnel attending the meeting expressed their agreement.
"Then what should we do with our previous Fifth Master project? Now it's time for the prototype aircraft to be installed. This delay is several years. Now the country is short of new fighters." An expert put forward a different opinion.
"I also agree with Mr. Lu's opinion. The design improvement plan proposed by Comrade Jiang Yan is indeed very good, but when we implement it, are there some problems? Are it a little difficult?"
"For example, the addition of fire control radar."
"Our institute is currently studying this new equipment. The overall design structure and theoretical data can meet the technical requirements of the improvement plan. However, due to some problems with production equipment and raw materials, the fastest way to produce a sample that can be used on the machine is It will have to happen in a year or two, will it delay Master Wu’s final assembly progress?”
"If we want to go faster, our superiors must provide us with enough equipment and materials as soon as possible, as well as the support of professional talents."
The person who said this is the chief engineer of the XX Research Institute. Their research institute is an airborne radar institute. It was originally located in Neijiang, Sichuan. The main task of their institute now is to imitate the radar of the Mao Xiong Kingdom, but they are also working on their own radar accordingly. research, but progress is quite slow.
In later generations, they launched the SL-4 radar project in 1964. This was the first truly independent airborne fire control radar in China. It adopted a single-pulse system and the design indicators were consistent with the Great Leap Forward. It was required to be able to detect 30,000 Meters altitude, Mach 3 speed and target 100 kilometers away. In fact, the double three is not that difficult, but the distance of 100KM is very scary. Since the air-intake aircraft in our country at that time, the radar caliber did not exceed 270 mm. It is a fantasy in itself to achieve detection of hundreds of kilometers with such a small antenna. This is the first time for our country to use a monopulse system radar. Although the working mechanism of the radar is very clear, how to achieve reliable reading filtering, how to achieve moving target filtering, etc. are all faced for the first time. This radar was only introduced in 1965. The prototype is completed. It is only 61 years now, and there is still a gap of four years.
"Yes, the problems in our institute are more prominent. Other problems can be solved if we overcome them, or find similar replacements, or it takes time."
"But that tail guard warning device, let alone self-produced, is now very difficult to even import from outside. As for research and development, it is completely blind, and there is no technical information to learn from."
"Besides, not to mention our research institute, even our Third Aircraft Department has never initiated a research project on tail protection warning devices."
"It is basically impossible to develop this tail protection warning device in this short period of time!"
The person who spoke was Professor Jia, an expert in airborne radar research and design. Professor Jia is currently a leader in the field of radar research and the mainstay of their research institute.
He even said that if this tail protection warning device is not easy to operate, then it is really not easy to operate!
This tail guard warning device, to put it bluntly, can also be regarded as another disguised radar. (Tail guard warning device is also called radar warning device)
Speaking of which, we have to mention the relationship between airborne radar and radar warning devices.
The relationship between the two is that of a spear first and a shield later.
The earliest airborne radar system appeared on the Yingjiang P series fighter aircraft in World War II. It was called the "radar gun sight". It was an exclusive "black technology" at the time. Before the Yingjiang aircraft crashed, the pilot had to manually dismantle it. You can only parachute by lowering the radar gun sight and throwing it to the ground or into the sea. Never let chickens get it.
The radar gun sight allows the enemy aircraft to be scanned from a distance of more than ten kilometers, and uses the radar signal as a ranging and aiming aid to shoot at the enemy aircraft within a distance of 1,500 meters.
After World War II, Mao Xiong became very interested in Yingjiang's radar gun sight. Until the 1950s Peninsula War, he still had no first-hand information or samples.
But all this changed one day in October 1951, when Mao Xiong finally got it from an F-86 fighter plane that crash-landed on the beach on the coast of the peninsula. In order to ensure that the emergency landing aircraft would not be blown up by Eagle Sauce, Mao Xiong paid the price of losing 7 MiG-15s. Our comrades mobilized 500 people in the middle of the night to pull the aircraft back and forth from the beach.
Maoxiong's engineers came into contact with physical radar sights for the first time, and immediately developed the first radar warning receiver and installed it on the tail of the MiG-15, commonly known as the "tail protector".
While Mao Xiong was developing warning devices, he also imitated radar gun sights.
With the development of electronic technology, airborne radars have evolved from simple range-finding and gun-aiming radars to integrated search and fire control radars. Later, the most advanced ones were active phased array radars.
The functions of radar are nothing more than the following two: search and lock-on attack. Search is equivalent to scanning an area with a flashlight to find the target in the dark night; lock-on attack is like using a flashlight to illuminate the target in a directional manner in the dark night so that the target is always exposed to bright light. , and then throw a brick over!
Everyone at the meeting spoke to each other. Although some raised difficulties and made demands, and the words they said were different, everyone's opinions were the same and they all agreed very much. Using the information provided by Jiang Yan Design improvement plans.
Mr. Lu has some different views on the obstacles and difficulties that arise when everyone wants to implement the design improvement plan proposed by Jiang Yan.
After the radar professor Jia finished his speech, Mr. Xu, who was sitting there, said, "I have been studying the information in my hand like everyone else these past few days, and I have not gone to Comrade Jiang Yan to communicate with me."
"But I think that since Comrade Jiang Yan can design this plan, then maybe he will have corresponding solutions to the obstacles and difficulties that arise during implementation."
"Let's call Comrade Jiang Yan over to discuss and see what he can do." Professor Jia said directly.
"Some comrades may not know that Comrade Jiang Yan is not only a genius in the field of aircraft design and manufacturing, but also an expert in the field of machinery. He is good at the maintenance, modification, design, research and development of mechanical equipment. Moreover, Comrade Jiang Yan has a A very special ability is that he has a photographic memory. He can disassemble the equipment and then reverse engineer the equipment.'
When Mr. Xu said this, all the experts at the scene opened their eyes wide. They were quite envious of Jiang Yan's incredible functions. Although these things cannot be purchased in large quantities, they still can't get a few through the country's ability. The problem was solved by asking Jiang Yan to use his special skills to disassemble it and reverse engineer it.
"Thank you for calling Comrade Jiang Yan, so don't hide it now." Expert Jia spoke directly to Minister Yue.
Director Yue smiled bitterly and said directly: "It's not that I don't want to transfer him, but the key issue now is that Comrade Jiang Yan is not from our Third Machinery Department yet."
