There was nothing to say all night. When Zhou Yang got up from the kang with dark circles under his eyes the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Apparently Li Youwei saw that he stayed up late last night and couldn't bear to wake him up.
Thinking of yesterday's agreement with Guo Yamin and Zheng Aiguo to have a meeting in the morning.
Zhou Yang immediately got up from the kang, washed himself briefly, said hello to Li Youwei, and hurried to the research institute with Liu Yunlong.
At the research institute, Guo Yamin and others had been waiting for Zhou Yang in the conference room early. As a result, they drank several cups of tea, but they still didn't see him.
At first, everyone was still chatting, but as an hour and a half passed, everyone couldn't hold it any longer.
"Mr. Guo, do you think the director has forgotten about the meeting? Should we send someone to call him?"
"Mr. Guo, is the director busy with that stall in the village again? Should we continue to wait?"
"We definitely have to wait, but we can't just wait like this. Why don't we discuss it ourselves first..."
After hearing everyone expressing their opinions, Guo Yamin knocked on the table in front of him and said: "Stop arguing nonsense, Comrade Zhou Yang cannot forget such an important matter!"
"When we went to see him last night, he said that some things needed to be improved. I think it was probably because he stayed up late and got up late. Let's wait a little longer!"
After all, it had been almost a year since he had been working on a project with Zhou Yang. Guo Yamin knew Zhou Yang well and knew that he was not an unreliable person.
Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang was seen walking in from the outside carrying a large briefcase.
After arriving at his position, Zhou Yang immediately apologized: "I'm sorry for getting up late and keeping everyone waiting!"
After hearing his apology, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but laugh. Mr. Guo really guessed it right.
At the same time, everyone also saw that the circles under his eyes were dark and bloodshot. It was obvious that he had stayed up late last night.
"If you stay up too late, ask Xiao Liu to tell us. We can push the meeting to the afternoon. You are the biggest treasure of our institute, so you have to pay attention to your health!" Guo Yamin said.
Hearing this, everyone laughed again.
Although it was a joke, everyone knew that what Mr. Guo said was true.
"It's okay. This matter has been delayed for a while. It would be better to finalize it as soon as possible!"
Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "Then let's get started!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately went into working mode. They all sat upright and focused on Zhou Yang.
"We were ordered from above to build an early warning aircraft radar. This is not only a new task for us, but also a new challenge!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "I am a person who strives for perfection. Either we don't do it, or we have to reach the world's advanced level. So before formally discussing the project, we people must first reach an ideological consensus, that is We want to build the most advanced early warning aircraft in the world. Do you agree with what I say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Haisheng frowned and said: "Director, we who engage in scientific research naturally hope that our research results will be as advanced as possible, but before that, we must be based on reality and cannot simply pursue advanced levels. And ignore other situations!”
However, before Zhou Yang could speak, Guo Yamin said directly: "Comrade Haisheng, you don't need to tell the director these things, he knows better than us!"
Zheng Aiguo also echoed: "I think Comrade Zhou Yang is right. After studying it for a long time, it would be boring if what he comes up with is something that is about to be eliminated."
"Yes, the foreign research on early warning aircraft has not been long. Although there is a gap between us and foreign countries, the gap is limited!" Chen Shanhe said.
"That's right, in terms of air force equipment, the gap between early warning aircraft is the smallest..."
.......
Seeing that most people agreed with his idea, Zhou Yang said again: "Okay, now that we have unified our thoughts, let's discuss in detail how to design our early warning aircraft radar! Before that, I would like to ask everyone here, you How much do you know about early warning aircraft?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Haisheng said again: "I was specifically involved in the research and development of early warning aircraft before, so let me answer this question!"
"please!"
Yan Haisheng coughed lightly and then said: "As we all know, the world's first early warning aircraft was built by MIT in 1944. Its principle was to install a surveillance radar on the aircraft to detect incoming low-altitude aircraft and aircraft as early as possible. Surface warship, this was later the "TBM-3W" early warning aircraft."
"The aircraft can detect low-flying aircraft within a distance of more than 100 kilometers and Japanese warships at a distance of about 300 kilometers. Moreover, the early warning aircraft at that time only had one pilot and one radar operator on board, and its working method was relatively simple. That is, the radar operator transmits the detected target signal together with the radar antenna pointing information to the warship through the ultra-short wave radio station, providing a basis for the ship's commander to command operations."
"In a sense, this generation of early warning aircraft is almost equivalent to "radar + carrier aircraft." Its main representative models include the US Navy's "TBM-3W", E-1B, etc., which mainly solve the problem of radar installation and detection. Issues such as low-altitude targets.”
"At this stage, its radar detection is still based on manual newspaper reading, and the intelligence is reported to the command organization through voice and Morse code. Moreover, the aircraft platforms are generally small, and the radar detection range is not far; there are not many personnel working with the early warning aircraft. , does not have the ability to control and guide. Its development focus is to improve the downward viewing ability of the early warning radar and continuously improve the radar performance."
Then, Yan Haisheng continued: "However, after more than thirty years of development, early warning aircraft have also developed greatly. Today's early warning aircraft are already moving towards the second generation, and their functions have been greatly expanded. The main functions can be summarized as "early warning reconnaissance + Controlled Guidance.”
"At this stage, the radar look-down performance of the early warning aircraft has been relatively improved. It has installed electronic/communication reconnaissance equipment, identification of friend or foe, etc., adopted a certain number of shortwave and ultra-short frequency radio stations, and installed advanced data links to distribute radar intelligence and Control guidance and so on.”
After listening to Yan Haisheng's answer, Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction. Although Yan Haisheng's words were simple, he basically explained the development history and technical characteristics of the early warning aircraft clearly.
After gesturing for him to sit down, Zhou Yang said again: "Let me summarize Professor Yan's words. Compared with the first-generation AWACS, the current AWACS has experienced a relatively large change in combat roles and an improvement in technical capabilities."
"In terms of combat roles, it has changed from "early warning reconnaissance" to "early warning reconnaissance + control guidance"; in terms of technical capabilities, it has developed from a simple combination of early surveillance radar and carrier aircraft to comprehensive functions. So what we have to study is not just a The radar system is an organic combination of a mission electronic system and a carrier aircraft that integrates radar, identification of friend or foe, electronic reconnaissance, communications, and command and control."
After hearing Zhou Yang's description, not only Guo Yamin and others were confused, but even Yan Haisheng was stunned and stunned.
He knew what Zhou Yang said individually, but trying to put them together was definitely more complicated than studying a single radar.
Yan Haisheng frowned and said: "Director, we are only engaged in radar. We want to include all communications, command and electronic research at once. Isn't this a bit..."
Zhou Yang did not answer his words, but directly opened his briefcase and took out two thick piles of documents.
"This is the research plan I came up with during this period. There are two research directions in total!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room exploded.
Good guy, this is really a blockbuster if it doesn't make a splash.
For new equipment like early warning aircraft, most of the people here didn't even have any research ideas. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang had already come up with detailed research plans, and there were two of them.
Is this the difference between genius and talent?
Later, with everyone's stunned expressions, Zhou Yang explained his two research plans in detail!
PS: Chapter 2 is delivered!
