Chapter 590 Information Sharing

Now the fighter jets have climbed and appeared within the radar reconnaissance illumination range of the imaginary enemy, which slows the fighter jets to obtain more stable data transmission and guide anti-ship missiles.

However, doing so also increases the preparation time and exposure time for fighter launches, thus giving the opponent more preparation time and even interception time. This is not what the rapid response troops who pursue the three-character combat policy of "fast, accurate, and ruthless!" hope to see.

Sure enough, after the two fighter jets reached the specified altitude, the data transmission showed a 100% completion progress during the slightly adjusted flight attitude.

With the commander's order, two airborne versions of new anti-ship missiles roared away quickly, and the two fighter jets that completed the attack mission immediately turned around and flew out of this airspace.

The No. 1 combat unit on the sea, the missile speedboat, also quickly turned around and left after launching the last two anti-ship missiles. Only flying anti-ship missiles and early warning aircraft that adjust their courses are constantly approaching the target ship, as well as a remote-controlled target aircraft that keeps flying towards the early warning aircraft.

"Alarm, an enemy flying unit is approaching our aircraft, with a distance of 40 kilometers, an altitude of 8,000, and a speed of 400. All escort fighters have been sent out. At present, our aircraft has no escort of our own fighter jets around us. Should we climb high to avoid local fighters or counterattack in self-defense? Please instruct us!"

On the early warning aircraft, the radar center quickly reported the third experimental content in this combat experiment, which represents the self-defense capability of the early warning aircraft under a new type of missile.

"Now the early warning aircraft is providing initial guidance for anti-ship missiles and cannot climb high! Order the air combat team to launch air interceptor missiles immediately to guide the interceptor missile to destroy the target!"

This third experiment is to verify that under the wings of the early warning aircraft, two first-generation air-to-air missiles, about 25 cm in thickness, about four meters long, eight-piece tail wing and balance wing.

This epoch-making weapon that can enter history is also unveiled today. In fact, when the concept of missiles and the first type of air defense missile and anti-ship missile were introduced, missiles used for air-to-air combat have been continuing to work hard for their birth.

However, because it is also restricted by the volume, power, radar and other comprehensive constraints of the electronic tube, in addition to being able to avoid volume, the weight-limited surface-to-air missiles can be truly used as air defense weapons to pass the review and finally installed. The original air-to-air missiles almost turned into a two-ton big thing with the first generation of air-ship missiles in terms of volume.

However, with the continuous vigorous development and growth of China's electronic industry and the technology is becoming more and more advanced, downstream factories are constantly reducing the volume of electronic equipment and enhancing their power.

Especially in the past two years, the advent of integrated circuits initially formed by high-end upstream factories has greatly improved the practical use capability and volume reduction of electronic equipment, which has enabled the dream of reducing the volume of missiles to be realized.

This research experiment is the best explanation. Although the size is significantly reduced and slimmed, the radar guidance power, detection range, and internal automatic judgment, and anti-interference ability have not decreased but increased.

The two 220 kilogram medium- and short-range air-to-air interceptor missiles mounted under the wings of the early warning aircraft can eventually be mounted under the wings of the fighter aircraft to fly into the blue sky due to the improvement of electronic functions.

When the world's first air-to-air interceptor missile pulled white smoke from under the wings of the early warning aircraft, the fourth experimental project began.

The fourth experimental project is to test the joint command capability of the early warning machine and electronic automation, and the early warning machine can guide the target capability while testing the early warning machine.

The test of this project is the new air-to-air missile, anti-ship missile and future fighter jets form the prototype of modern automatic operations under air combat command units such as early warning aircraft.

Unlike the original manual notification and command control, in the future modern battle, an early warning aircraft needs to automatically track hundreds of targets at the same time and guide dozens or even more of its own combat units to fight.

Such a huge data exchange and command cannot be accomplished by the manpower on the early warning aircraft. It is necessary to achieve the transformation and development process of electrical automation and future digital operations.

Even if the current early warning aircraft are loaded with the latest computer electronic equipment, their automatic tracking and guidance capabilities are not as good as the combat aircraft's handling capabilities decades later.

However, without these predecessors opening the road and exploring the previous technology improvements, the subsequent technological improvements would not be discussed at all. Without the application of the first generation of air defense and anti-ship missiles in many actual combats and the end exploration of their own advantages and disadvantages, the second generation of missiles would not be formed.

As a towering building rises from the ground, the accumulation of technology depends on one step at a time, and rapid elevation in many cases is just a imagination.

Even now, we cannot underestimate the practical significance of this experiment. In the current test, while searching for several final targets, the early warning aircraft is also guiding several anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles are rushing towards their own targets, and several combat units are quickly evacuating the battlefield they are monitoring.

On the real battlefield in the near future, tactics and modern command methods that have been tested and tested will appear on the combat battlefields of the United States and its allied naval battles, which will create a more violent and terrifying combat efficiency than Port Augusta on these battlefields.

"The first anti-ship missile was interfered and flew out of the target ship fifty meters away."

"The aluminum foil interference belt began to dissipate, and the second anti-ship missile failed to hit."

"The third anti-ship missile hits the target."

"The radar found two enemy fighter jets chasing our missile speedboat."

"Fighters have been dispatched to drive away enemy fighters and arrive at the target area in three minutes."

"The early warning aircraft itself has too much interference source, and the first air-to-air missile lost its target."

"The main radar is completed, and the interference source is reduced, and the second air-to-air missile is launched. The peripheral reinforcement fighter jets are ordered to launch air-to-air missiles at the target aircraft. After the air-to-air missile is launched, the aircraft quickly climbs up the height. Radar detection is handed over to the surface ships and the fighter's own radar. The combat data center and communication center ensure instant intelligence sharing at any time."

"Understand, the main radar is turned off, and the second air-to-air missile is launched, and the second air-to-air pointing is flying well."

"The reinforcement fighter has launched a third air-to-air missile at the target aircraft."

"The first anti-ship missile failed to re-automatically search for the target and exploded itself in the distance of the target ship."

"The fourth anti-ship missile hits the target."

"The second anti-ship missile began to pull up again, hovering and climbing to search for targets."

"This early warning aircraft has completed climbing, the radar is turned on, and the air reconnaissance and control are retaken."

"The first air-to-air missile cannot search for the target and self-destruction in the air."

"The second air-to-air missile mid-section radar is turned on and locks the target."

"The third air-to-air missile radar locks the target."

"The second anti-ship missile re-locks the target and starts dive attack."

"The target machine began to do maneuver avoidance."

"The second air-to-air missile failed to keep up with the target plane and missed the target."

"The third air-to-air missile is maneuvering in the air to keep up with the target."

"The target machine continues to maneuver irregularly, and its maneuvering overload has exceeded the human body's tolerance limit of eight g!"

"Don't worry about it, there will also be unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in future aircraft. Not to mention eight g, even twenty g overloads will have to withstand the test!"

"Combat data center report! The amount of information and data poured in too much in a short period of time. The data platform on the early warning aircraft has already experienced high loads. The data overflow caused the central processing system to be unable to process it quickly!"

“Switch off unnecessary data tracking and focus on tracking several existing key targets.”

"clear!"

"The data recovery is normal, and you can continue to work!"

"The second air-to-air missile lost its target and exploded in the air."

"The second air-ship missile hits the target ship."

"Reinforcement fighter jets rushed to designated airspace and found enemy fighter jets to drive away the other side."

"The third air-to-air missile killed the target and approached at high speed. Coinciding! Explosion!"

"Radar search, the target aircraft has disappeared in the air!"

"Radar report, enemy fighter jets left the pursuit course and began to return under the drive of our fighter jets."

"More support fighter jets have arrived, the air threat is temporarily lifted, and the sea target has also hit, and the test project has ended."

"Order, the combat state is lifted, and each combat unit begins to conduct inspections according to the scheduled plan..."

With the order for combat status issued, the fighter jets, ships and other units that were still nervous just now breathed a sigh of relief. In just over ten minutes, a large amount of information and a large amount of change data were continuously sent from various units to the early warning aircraft, leaving all the staff in the early warning aircraft in a state of high tension and alertness.

Not only them, but even those combat aircraft, missile and speedboats and other test units are in a state of high tension. Because in simulated combat, the real situation under various combat states is simulated as much as possible.

As the weapons and equipment of Chinese troops become more and more modern and technological, a battle may be much smaller in scale than the previous battle.

However, with the emergence of these high-end equipment and equipment, the data exchange, communication exchange and combat information exchange they cover gradually surpassed that of previous large-scale battles.

In this test, its large amount of information intersected, so that while serving as an aerial radar warning center, the air early warning aircraft truly showed the prototype of a future air instant command center for the first time.

This prototype is still a bit immature and has many shortcomings and errors, but after all, it is a real future combat mode drill. It is understandable that errors and shortcomings occur, and it can also be used to improve and correct them in the future.

Taking this weapon test as an example, we can find that carrying self-defense air-to-air missiles on the early warning aircraft is a relatively wishful thinking ideal. If the early warning aircraft is equipped with air-to-air missiles to cope with the response in special wartime conditions, self-defense capabilities are of course a good thing.

However, under the current technical level, even if the current air-to-air missile radar can withstand some interference, it is still impossible to use it at close range under the powerful radar interference source of the early warning aircraft.

It can be said that the idea of ​​installing missiles on early warning aircraft is still unrealistic and unrealistic at the current level, but we must also see that if there were no such test experiment, the weapon R&D team only knew that air-to-air missiles would be disturbed in the real environment.

However, what is the interference state and how far is there to be a self-restorative work? It is difficult to know the collection of real data and data. In order to collect future development data and important performance indicators for the second generation of air-to-air missiles in the future, such experiments are very necessary.

The test experiment of the anti-ship missile was also considered successful. Even if the pre-prepared countermeasures interfered with the search and guidance capabilities of the active radar and lost its target, it successfully collected valuable data on how high the true anti-interference power level of the second-generation anti-ship missile can be.

You should know that the source of interference generated by the Chinese aluminum foil launching device is far more dense and targeted than the US military can launch. Under such interference, it is not easy for four anti-ship missiles to hit two of them directly for the first time.

One of them can even climb up and search again after losing the first attack target and launch a second round of attacks. Such combat capability undoubtedly gives anti-ship missiles greater survivability and re-combat ability.

It also gives future enemy targets greater deterrence and greater psychological pressure to fear.

More importantly, this test greatly improved the data analysis, sharing and collaborative combat capabilities between various combat units.

Although a missile speedboat cannot be compared with a 10,000-ton missile ship, it cannot be equipped with a large reconnaissance radar of the same power.

It doesn't matter. As long as there are early warning aircraft and large warships nearby, these combat units can connect their "eyes" and "ears" together through technological means to form a common and shared combat intelligence information for use.

At the same time, these outbound fighter jets and small ships are equivalent to the eyes and ears extended by these large combat units. They quickly formed a unified information to identify and share various reconnaissance data collected by these eyes and ears, and began to use scientific and technological means to directly command and control the weapon systems of these small units to cooperate in combat.

It can be said that even if it is a missile speedboat without radar reconnaissance means, as long as its missile weapon system can be connected to an early warning aircraft or a large warship command center, these missiles will know clearly at the first time where the target it is attacking is like a clairvoyance.

At the same time, in this test experiment, just a small number of anti-ship missiles and air-to-air missiles had caused data overflow on the early warning aircraft to be unable to process it in time.

It can be seen that although China is now ahead of the world in computer and electronic automation, Chinese scientists still have a long way to explore to truly realize the more terrifying combat capabilities that Zhong Yang conceived.

Several core contents of this experiment, the testing of new anti-ship missiles and air-to-air missiles, are particularly critical. Of course, the coordinated data sharing command of early warning aircraft is also one of the key points.

However, due to the data overflow and most of the warships previously installed, the aircraft are not equipped with such a data platform, and it will take a long process to become practical.

New anti-ship missiles and air-to-air missiles have the opportunity to appear on the stage of World War II in the battle soon.

The anti-ship missile has proved its terrifying combat power through its own strength. In terms of size, charge and explosion power, it is significantly smaller than the first-generation anti-ship missile.

However, it is precisely because of the successful weight loss that the anti-ship missiles carried by the H-6 bomber that were originally only specially modified have become weapons that can be carried by ordinary jet fighters.

This means that combat platforms that can carry such combat weapons have increased significantly. Bombers that can be equipped with the first generation of air-ship missiles are difficult to find, but jet fighters are in various combat zones, but there is no shortage of them.

If such weapons were finalized and mass-produced before the Naval Battle of Port Augusta last year, then perhaps the number of ships that several American special-mix fleets could escape back would shrink a lot.
