The vehicle drove for about half an hour, and they finally arrived at their testing site in the shooting range.
The entire test site is located on a very open flat land. On the test site, a set of light field area air defense systems are placed about two hundred meters apart.
In fact, judging from the appearance, they are just three containers, but at this moment the containers have been opened, and the air search and warning radar on the top has been erected.
In addition to these three sets of light field area air defense systems at the scene, there is also a piece of equipment similar to the light field area air defense system placed in the center of the triangle, but it is obviously very different. This is exactly what Wu Hao and the others have with the light field area air defense system. A lightweight field short-range air defense laser interception system launched together with the air defense system.
This time, this lightweight field short-range air defense laser interception system is also on the task list for the live-fire target interception experiment.
During this period, a special live-fire interception test will be conducted specifically for the terminal interception capability of this lightweight field short-range air defense laser interception system.
It will also test the mutual cooperation, unified control and other experimental tests between the light field short-range air defense laser interception system and the light field area air defense system.
Around the triangular air defense interception position formed by the two systems, multiple simulated attack targets were set up. Various models, or target rings, are placed on these shooting ranges to simulate the important targets protected by these two systems.
In other words, during the experiment, incoming missiles, rockets, and suicide attack drones will attack these multiple simulated targets. These two systems will protect these simulated targets from being hit by incoming targets.
Wu Hao and the others accompanied the leaders and led the company's on-site staff to a light field area air defense system.
When the leaders saw this light field area air defense system on site, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, even a little surprised. Although they have almost understood the basic situation of this system through previous information and related introductions. But watching it on the spot shows a different picture. First of all, this light field area air defense system is small in size and has a simple structure. It is just a small container.
The container is divided into two parts. One part is a vertical launch system equipped with air defense interception and attack drones, occupying two-thirds of the entire container. The other part is equipped with air search and warning radar and synthetic aperture radar systems.
And just inside this small container, an intelligent air defense control system, an automatic air defense interception system, a power supply system, a fire control system, etc. are integrated.
How many interceptor missiles can be packed in such a small container? After looking at it carefully, Lu Qingfeng immediately asked.
From 24 to 36, we believe that this number is basically enough to deal with a saturation attack. Wu Hao smiled at Lu Qingfeng and explained.
After hearing his introduction, Lu Qingfeng and Cui Changsheng nodded. This number can indeed meet the short-range area defense needs of some defense points.
Let's go and see that light field short-range air defense laser interception system. Cui Changsheng was obviously very interested in the light field short-range air defense laser interception system that Wu Hao and the others had not mentioned much before.
In this regard, Wu Hao and the others did not refuse, and then the group came to the middle of the triangular position and finally saw this light field short-range air defense laser interception system. Like the light field area air defense system, this light field short-range air defense laser interception system also has a shape similar to a container.
The only difference is that the top of the container is different. At this moment, the covers on both sides of the top have been opened, revealing a high-power laser transmitter with a honeycomb compound lens. In addition to this high-power laser transmitter, it also integrates a synthetic aperture radar system, which can accurately search for incoming targets in the air and conduct tracking and sustained attacks.
High-power laser weapons have not existed before, and many high-power laser weapons are very mature. However, this type of laser weapon is very energy-consuming, similar to electromagnetic guns, requiring a large amount of electric energy in an instant.
This is also the reason why this type of laser weapon has not yet been put into equipment on a large scale, because energy is always a key factor limiting its use.
Even though some countries have equipped some laser weapons, they always have to drag huge battery vehicles behind them. The entire system is very large, which is not conducive to transportation and deployment. It is too heavy, complicated, and troublesome to use, so currently most of them This type of weapon is still in the experimental equipment stage.
Although scientists have now proposed using flywheel batteries for energy conversion, which can provide instantaneous huge power for such laser weapons or electromagnetic guns, this technology is not mature enough and has encountered the same problems.
This time, Wu Hao and the others used self-developed new technology to integrate this laser cannon using a honeycomb composite lens set, a super solid-state battery pack, and an intelligent air defense control system into such a small container. It is indeed very powerful. .
Xiao Wu, will it participate in today's live-fire interception and target shooting test? Lu Qingfeng also became very interested in this. Not only the two Army and Air Force leaders, but also their accompanying experts were very interested.
Amid everyone's expectations, Wu Hao nodded and said, "Of course, this time we have designed a variety of test projects for these two systems in order to simulate the battlefield environment as realistically as possible and test the two systems to the greatest extent. Performance testing to see how much pressure they can withstand."
After hearing what he said, everyone present immediately smiled. This was exactly what they expected.
At this time, Cui Changsheng smiled at him and everyone: "It's a mule or a horse. You'll know if you pull it out and run around. Look, let's not stay here and go directly to the observation platform of the test control center."
After hearing Cui Changsheng's words, everyone immediately responded. Everyone did not stay at the triangular air defense position for too long. They got on the off-road vehicle and arrived at the test control center located on a hill about one kilometer away from the entire test site.
This test control center is built on a hill on the long side of the test. The hill is not high, but it can also overlook the flat area of the entire test site.
The main function of this test control center is to undertake the command and control of the entire live ammunition interception and target shooting experiment. On the roof of the second floor of the test control center, there is an observation platform.
Standing on the observation platform, you can have a clear view of the entire test site. Here is also a podium where some leaders come to watch the target practice test of new weapons and equipment.
