Xipo. Research Institute!
After Nie Nansun hung up the phone, he stood stupidly in Zhou Yang's office, with a look of shock and excitement on his face.
He had just confirmed with the Beijing authorities that the data displayed on their radar was correct.
Five helicopters indeed took off from the Beijing Military Region, and their positions and coordinates were correct.
Think about it, the distance of 290 kilometers is almost the same as the straight-line distance between Babaoliang Village and the capital.
In other words, the fighter planes over the capital had just taken off, and the radar here actually detected them.
This performance can no longer be described as excellent, it can only be said to be incredible.
You should know that at long distances, early warning radar is usually used to detect enemy air targets, rather than directly using airborne fire control radar.
Moreover, according to international standards, early warning radars are divided into four levels: short-range (200-300 kilometers), medium-range (300-500 kilometers), long-range (500-4000 kilometers), and ultra-long-range (more than 4000 kilometers).
In other words, the airborne radar designed by Zhou Yang and others has reached the extreme value of short-range early warning radar in terms of detection range.
The most important thing is that Beijing is only 300 kilometers away from Babaoliang Village, so this does not mean that 300 kilometers is the detection limit of this radar.
This is like a top student's exam. It's not that his ability only has 100 points, but that the test questions only have 100 points.
Good guy, this is an airborne fire control radar!
With such a long detection range and such accurate target positioning, once installed on an Air Force aircraft, it will greatly enhance the fighter's combat capabilities.
Thinking about his previous evaluation of this radar, Nie Nansun felt that it was a bit conservative.
At the same time, he also felt that he had underestimated the value of Zhou Yang as a designer.
Thinking of this, he felt that he had to have a good talk with Mr. Jiang and the others. This kid was definitely a national treasure.
At this time, at the test site not far away, the radar test was continuing!
"Report: The target signal source is returning...the target signal source has disappeared!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Don't worry, the opponent may have landed, continue to observe!"
"yes!"
Just as he was talking, he saw Nie Nansun striding over from the office.
At this time, the eyes of Zhou Yang, Zheng Aiguo, Guo Yamin and others were focused on Nie Nansun.
These people are the designers of radar, and radar is like their child.
Now that the child has finished his performance, it depends on what the judge Nie Nansun will say next.
Nie Nansun also knew that everyone was waiting for him to speak. He came to the front of the crowd, coughed slightly, and then said loudly: "Comrades, we just checked with the Beijing Military Region. They did take off five helicopters just now. Our The signal detected by the radar was accurate and we succeeded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly erupted into cheers!
Everyone cheered unanimously, hugged each other, and were so happy!
Every previous test meant nothing, but this one was different.
This time is not only a joint test of the entire machine, but also a dynamic target test, which is infinitely close to actual battlefield combat.
Even so, this radar still performs so well, which is enough to illustrate its powerful combat capabilities.
At the same time, everyone is engaged in radar research and knows everything about domestic airborne radars.
Not to mention those old antiques currently in service, even the monopulse radar currently being researched by the 14th Research Institute 204 and the 607th Research Institute are only being defeated in front of this radar.
As expected, this radar will become the mainstream radar for domestic fighter aircraft in the near future, and will then be equipped on a large scale.
As the designers and testers of this radar, this is an honor for each of them.
For the rest of their lives, they will be proud to have worked on this radar!
However, just as everyone was cheering, the radar operator suddenly said loudly: "Report: Target signal source found... Target signal source found..."
Hearing the voices of the scientific researchers, Zhou Yang immediately ordered everyone to quiet down, and then said loudly: "Report the number, direction, and distance of the targets immediately!"
"Report: Number of enemy planes: 3, heading southeast, distance 310 kilometers!"
"Report: One of the enemy planes turned sharply from the west and flew southeast!"
"Report: Another enemy plane turned north and attempted to outflank us..."
Zhou Yang looked at Nie Nansun on the side, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Nie, the other party doesn't seem to be convinced!"
"It's useless for them not to be convinced. The radar performance is too far behind. You guys detected it just after takeoff. If this happened in actual combat, they would suffer a big loss!" Nie Nansun said.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Let's draw a map of their flight path and hand it over to them to see if they are still convinced!"
"Hahaha, you kid, you are so bad!" Nie Nansun said with a smile.
"How can I use a bad word to describe the research?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Well, you keep an eye here for now, and I'll give Mr. Jiang and the others a good news!" Nie Nansun said.
"Isn't it a little early?"
Although the performance of the whole machine is indeed amazing, it still needs to be verified on the air, and the extension needs to be modified and improved.
In addition, vibration intensity and vibration stability tests must be carried out, and the whole machine must be carried out ventilation and heat dissipation tests.
The most important thing is to finally conduct a real aircraft test flight.
There is still so much work to be done, so it is a bit early to report the good news to the big bosses above, in Zhou Yang's opinion.
"Hahaha, normally it is a bit early, but the performance of your radar is so amazing. I have to urge them to arrange a test flight of the aircraft as soon as possible!" Nie Nansun said.
"Then you just have to figure it out yourself!"
Zhou Yang immediately understood that the good news was just a gimmick, and Mr. Nie's real purpose was to spread bait!
Don't think it's just a simple test flight on the real aircraft, it seems that it only needs to be installed on the aircraft.
But in fact this is not the case at all. After any radar is developed, it is not easy to test it on a real aircraft.
Not to mention how expensive the aircraft is, if the radar performance is not good enough, it may not only affect the flight of the aircraft, but may even cause the aircraft to crash.
Therefore, the radar’s real aircraft test flight requires multiple applications.
Three times and five times are few, but eight times out of ten are possible.
Even the famous 204 airborne radar in later generations did not actually fly until more than half a year after the application was submitted.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for their radar to be tested on a real aircraft for more than a year and a half.
But if there is support from the big guys above, then that’s a different matter.
It seems that with Mr. Jiang's support, the real test flight of the radar should be put on the schedule soon, which is something Zhou Yang likes to see.
Therefore, Zhou Yang didn't say much. After Nie Nansun left, he immediately devoted himself to radar testing again!
PS: Chapter 3 is delivered!
