However, the two long-distance missiles were flying towards the alien spacecraft from beyond the heliosphere. However, the two missiles were flying and suddenly slowly lost power.
Seeing this scene, Dal Kind immediately said to Carl Wade:
"Captain, captain! The enemy seems to have used small pulse weapons. The power systems of our two missiles are losing their function. I suggest turning on our pulse suppression system where the small pulse weapons detected by our reverse search radar are located. At this time, immediately begin attacking the enemy’s pulse weapons.”
Carl Wade said immediately:
"Okay, you immediately use radar to search for the location of the enemy's pulse weapons, and I will be ready to attack at any time."
Dal Kind said immediately:
"understand!"
Dal Kind soon completed the task and immediately reported to Carl Wade:
"Captain, captain! I have searched for the location of the target weapon, and I will immediately transmit the data I collected to you."
Carl Wade said after hearing this:
"Okay, I don't care which star he is targeting or what he is going to do. I want him to become a speck of dust in space, hahahahaha!!!"
Soon after, all data was transferred. However, just as Carl Wade was about to launch an attack, something suddenly happened. The missiles sent by the two people in front were losing power and were suddenly detonated inexplicably.
Carl Wade couldn't help but said in surprise:
"What? What's going on? Is it some kind of anti-missile system they have?"
However, relatively speaking, Dal Kinde, who had more combat experience, thought of something at this time. Immediately said to Carl Wade:
"Don't worry about the lead aircraft. Don't worry about the lead aircraft. The opponent doesn't seem to use a protective cover. This should be a defensive weapon that relies on a dense firepower network. It is also a multi-barreled automatic rotating artillery system, but it is used by the opponent's fire defense system. It is not an ordinary bullet or artillery shell, but a laser beam that is invisible to the naked eye, so it seems to be automatically detonated from a certain distance."
Carl Wade asked a little confused:
"The weapon you are talking about is a multi-barreled automatic rotating artillery system? Something like that?"
Dal Kind said:
"Captain, have you forgotten? In the super ancient era, our own space age had just started, not long after we landed on the moon. Didn't our warships on the sea at that time also have a system like yours?"
The multi-barreled automatic rotating artillery system that Dal Kind mentioned is somewhat similar to the Phalanx system. The Phalanx system refers to the six-barreled 20 mm caliber automatic rotating artillery system specially designed and manufactured by the U.S. Navy to solve the problem of short-range air defense of warships, namely the MK15 "Vulcan" Phalanx system.
It is also the last barrier for U.S. Navy ships, and it can effectively attack anti-ship missiles that escape from other air defense systems. "Phalanx" is the only close-in defense system currently in service that can automatically search, detect, assess, track, lock and attack threatening targets (such as anti-ship missiles, surface mines, small aircraft, etc.). It can also be combined with existing Some other combat systems are used in combination with fire control systems
The "Phalanx" close-in defense system is a product of the American Raytheon Company. More than 800 sets have been produced and equipped with almost all naval ships of the United States and more than 20 other countries.
It uses 6-barreled 20mm M61A1 Gatling guns to fire armor-piercing sabot sabots (APDS). The rate of fire is approximately 3000-4500 rounds per minute. It stores 989 rounds of ammunition and has a range of about 1500 meters. The entire system weighs 5625 kilograms. The search and tracking radar works in the Ku band and uses "closed-loop multi-point technology" (losed-loop spottingteology). "Closed-loop multi-point technology" is a breakthrough in radar technology, which enables the "Phalanx" to track incoming targets as well as The shells fired can kill incoming targets more effectively.
BLOCK0, the basic "Phalanx" close-in defense system, has been in service on 23 U.S. Navy ships and 14 foreign warships since 1978. It can only intercept non-sea-skimming, subsonic, non-maneuverable anti-ship missiles. Therefore, "Phalanx" has been continuously improved and updated, and subsequent models such as Blk1A and Blk1B have appeared.
Number.
The Blk1A "Phalanx" close-in defense system is a popular close-in defense system that entered service in 1988. It has more powerful search and tracking capabilities than the Blk0 type, and is said to be able to intercept various high-subsonic, sea-skimming and maneuverable anti-ship missiles currently in service.
The Blk1B type entered service in 1999. There have been many improvements based on the Blk1A type, such as adding a photoelectric searcher, using an optimized barrel and more destructive ammunition, etc.
The added infrared forward-looking device of the Blk1B "Phalanx" provides reliable 24-hour passive search and tracking capabilities, with multi-spectral detection and tracking capabilities, giving the "Phalanx" a higher resistance to targets flying over the sea. This improves the "Phalanx"'s air combat capabilities in complex environments.
The optimized barrel of the Blk1B close-in defense system is longer and heavier than the current M61A1 barrel. The new system improves the shooting accuracy of close-in defense systems by simplifying the scattering pattern of artillery shells and using a new muzzle suppression system. The "enhanced destructive ammunition" EyCartrid (ELC) is an improved version of the Mk149 ammunition currently in use. It increases the penetration kinetic energy by nearly 50% when hitting the target while maintaining the same muzzle velocity.
In order to combat the ever-evolving threat to ship-borne missiles, Raytheon's latest development is the "SEARAM" close-in defense system, which uses the RAM Blk1 missile to replace the "Phalanx" artillery. RAM is a Supersonic speed, small weight, quick response, fire and forget missile.
It uses dual-mode passive radio frequency to infrared guidance. On this basis, Ram Blk1 adds image scanning and search, which further enhances its reliability. Ram Blk1 successfully intercepted incoming missiles in all six sea trials.
"Seiram" combines the excellent search and tracking radar of "Phalanx" with the precision strike, long-range attack and high mobility of the "rolling missile" (the full name of Ram) weapon system to form a longer range, More reliable and automated near defense systems will surely become the new favorite of near defense systems.
Then, Dal Kinder continued:
"If those multi-barreled automatic rotating artillery systems at that time had used laser beams, you would have been able to achieve this effect. The ones we see the enemy using today are just more concealed, and their performance seems to be much better than in the past. . Generally speaking, he is much more mature than before."
After hearing this, Carl Wade said:
"good,
That's actually the case. I'll give him a full saturation attack and see how he defends himself. I will first use Mai Chongbo to destroy the target that needs to be destroyed just now. Pulse wave, launch! "
The so-called saturation attack is a tactic developed by Marshal Gorshkov, the former commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy in Zhang Desen's original universe, when he was studying the use of anti-ship missiles to attack the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle groups during the period of the United States and the Soviet Union's struggle for hegemony - that is, using the water surface. Ships, submarines, combat aircraft, etc. carry anti-ship missiles and adopt a high-density and continuous attack penetration method. At the same time, in a short period of time, they launch missiles at the same target from different directions and levels in the air, on the water and under the water, exceeding the target's resistance. Strike-capable missiles.
This puts the anti-missile resistance capability of the enemy aircraft carrier formation's maritime air defense system into an unmanageable saturation state in a short period of time, in order to achieve the purpose of increasing the penetration probability of anti-ship missiles and destroying targets. There are similar tactics in this universe now.
Sure enough, Carl Wade's attack was successful, and the target weapon was completely destroyed soon. Then Carl Wade immediately said to Dal Kind:
"Okay, now. Kill him while he is sick. We are going to bite him now and use all our airborne firepower to carry out a saturation attack until it is destroyed."
Dal Kind said:
"Understood. It seems that this spaceship does not have a protective cover. I will give him a side detour."
After hearing this, Carl Wade immediately said excitedly:
"Okay, go ahead!"
Dal Kinder's reply:
"receive!!!"
Then, the spacecraft in front began to shuttle back and forth in the Kuiper Belt space, seeming to be trying hard to get rid of the two chasing enemies. However, after tracking for a period of time, Dal Kinde, who was more experienced, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately the captain called the plane and said:
"
Long flight, long flight! Something's not right, something's not right. The other party is obviously just a reconnaissance ship. It should be said that it needs to come for reconnaissance because it is unfamiliar with this space. But now it seems that the other party is very familiar with the waterways in this area. This is not consistent with the current situation. "
Carl Wade immediately asked:
"Why do you have such an idea? Is the other party really familiar with this airspace?"
Dal Kind said:
"Captain. This area is an area with a lot of space junk rocks in the Kuiper Belt. People who are not familiar with this area will accidentally hit the space rocks as soon as they come in, and then self-destruct."
Then, Dal Kind took another breath and continued:
"But now that I see the opponent's spacecraft, it can not only shuttle here and there quickly. It also looks very familiar. There are fewer rocks to cross in these dense rock areas, which are very suitable for him to avoid our fire attacks, and Can it keep us from completely losing track of it, it seems to be taking us somewhere to ambush us.”
Carl Wade heard this and said:
"Increase the firepower immediately and turn him into a piece of space dust now."
Yet no reply was heard from Dal Kinder. Our space fighter suddenly and slowly lost power. In this critical situation, Dal Kind suddenly shouted to Carl Wade and said:
"Captain, look at the right wing. It's the Gomar's 'Snake'. "
"What!!!"
