Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Hearing this question, Tan Zhenhua and Zhan Nuozhu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then Zhan Nuozhu said: "Chen Suo, you may not know it. Our 4014 Institute has been PD since the 1970s. The research work of standard airborne radar has made considerable progress. I think, if the funds are in place, it is very possible to trial-produce a usable radar before your plane flies into the sky, at least not better than your system. The unreliable 3607 toss the "232" difference, I am quite confident about our technical capabilities."

After a pause, he added: "By the way, the person in charge of this PD radar project is the other teacher of Tan Xiaozi in front of you, Ben Fang Ben Gong."

The expression on Chen Yijian's face changed, showing that his mood was extremely complicated. He said: "Mr. Tan, you make me more and more incomprehensible, you three teachers..."

Tan Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's okay. Teacher Ben is the neighbor of my childhood. I called my uncle since I was a child, Chen Suo, let's continue."

"Well, I hope I am not dreaming."

Chen Yijian teased himself, and then said: "This fourth item is even more troublesome for you to put on "Sky Flash". As far as I know, "Sky Flash" is a semi-active radar developed by Britain in 1973. The guided medium-range air-to-air missile is based on the US "Sparrow" AIM-7E-2 missile. It was finalized in 1977 and equipped with the Royal British Air Force in 1978. It is the world's first practical single-pulse semi-pulse missile. The medium-range air-to-air missile with an active radar seeker has a maximum range of 26 kilometers."

"Because of its semi-active guidance mode, after launch, the host’s radar is required to continue to illuminate the target for a period of time until the missile’s own radar locks the target. Therefore, to hang this missile requires not only the aircraft’s airborne fire control radar, The continuous wave illuminator also needs its data interface to be able to cross-link with the data interface of the aircraft radar, but the main contractor of this missile is "British Aerospace", they are willing to sell this missile to us and open the data interface..."

Having said that, he couldn't go on, because he suddenly found a company name that appeared frequently this afternoon in his own statement!

"British Aerospace Company"!

Tan Zhenhua looked at him with a smile, and saw that Chen Yijian himself had reacted, and said with a smile: "Chen, you see, this fourth item is not completely impossible, right? You already know that I am going to buy "British Aerospace" The company’s "BAC" production line, then, I should buy a few more "sky flashes" to set off the fireworks, right? As far as I know, this thing is not for sale. As long as he is willing to sell it, it must be Then the data will be released to me, otherwise, how can I play it? You are right."

So you bought my fighter jets and British missiles just for fun? Is there such a waste of money? That stuff is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per shot, okay? Just to listen...

It's poverty that limits my imagination!

Chen Yijian sighed and continued his narration: "So, Mr. Tan, since these three items have practical solutions, let's discuss the first one."

"You have to know that a fighter jet is actually an organic whole, composed of thousands of sub-systems, and any one of the sub-systems has a progress problem, it will definitely affect the delivery of the whole machine, and now according to your requirements , I really cannot guarantee that these sub-systems will be completed on time. What's more, even if all the sub-systems are delivered on time, there are still coordination problems of the whole machine that need to be solved, and even the aerodynamic shape may need to be modified. Flying is already quite difficult, and for such a complicated aircraft, it will take at least several years for a test flight to discover the possible problems of each system and improve it. I personally think that it is already difficult and difficult to serve 90 years ago. !"

After thinking about it, he added: "Moreover, in this aircraft of mine, due to the needs of HNA launching missiles, we can no longer use the hardware cross-linking method that China used to use, but must use integrated avionics. The system, which is centered on the fire control computer, uses the same data bus to integrate functions such as radar, cockpit display, various flight status collection sensors, information processing and output control. This system is good for us. Let’s not say that our 3603 is a huge challenge. Even for our pilots, it needs a process of adaptation. You have to know that our Chinese pilots are basically still driving the F-6. It’s not difficult for them to learn how to fly an aircraft like the "J-7" for a year or a half."

This is really a problem. As far as Tan Zhenhua knows, due to the complexity of the operation of a new aircraft, if you want to fully master its flying skills, even if it is an old driver, it will take some time and effort. Flying skills are not enough. We need to consider the latest tactics based on the characteristics of the aircraft. This is a battle bomb. Then we must consider not only air combat, but also ground and sea tactics, as well as training. The use of various weapons is why it takes quite a while for new aircraft to equip troops to form the so-called "initial combat capability."

Tan Zhenhua thought for a moment and said: "That's it. While you are developing this aircraft, you can use the instrument layout in the aircraft and the expected operational response as a blueprint to simultaneously develop a simulated cockpit, so that while the aircraft is being developed, you can Some experienced pilots can be trained to be familiar with this aircraft."

Chen Yijian was taken aback, and then overjoyed: "Manager Xiao Tan has a good idea. This will not only greatly save pilot training time, but also greatly save the flight hours of the aircraft. At the very least, basic education can be carried out without actually flying. !"

Why is Chen Yijian so happy to hear Tan Zhenhua's idea?

Of course it is because this idea can save a lot of small money. In the early 1980s when the Chinese Army was financially struggling, this alone was enough to impress the military and sign valuable orders.

We can simply calculate an account. Take this "leopard" as an example. It needs to install two "Speey" engines, and the price of a single engine is as high as 1 million pounds in current currency, which is nearly 200. Ten thousand US dollars, 4 million yuan, but its full life span is only 2500 hours, and it needs to be overhauled once at 850 hours. Therefore, the depreciation cost for one hour of these two engines exceeds 10,000 yuan. !

If you count the lifespan of about 6000 hours and the cost of about 20 million RMB, plus the several tons of aviation fuel and ground maintenance consumables for each flight, then you won't be able to go to the sky without tens of thousands!

Therefore, the Air Force has always been "the engine is banged, the gold is ten thousand liang", and it can kill several million households with just one ups and downs.

In comparison, if the idea of ​​this simulated cockpit can be realized, even if it sells for hundreds of thousands, it is really only a small amount of money compared to the number of flight hours saved.

So people can earn this wealth really not out of thin air, this is the ability to find business opportunities anytime, anywhere, I really should study hard!

Chen Yijian sighed that Tan Zhenhua's random idea might become a way of making money in 3603 in the future, but he still asked his own question: "So, Mr. Tan, can you see if this time can be more generous?"
