394 J-50's weapon system

Chen Fei looked around the J-50 several times before he reluctantly came to the front.

"Introduce the weapon system." Chen Fei turned his head and said to Shangqiu.

"The J-50's weapon system mainly has three, one is a laser cannon, one is an electromagnetic cannon, and the other is a microwave cannon." Shangqiu began to introduce it.

Chen Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He was not surprised by the laser cannon, and had thought of it for a long time.

For laser cannons, the speed is 300,000 kilometers per second, the focus is particularly good, and the power per unit area is extremely high. This is a natural good weapon seedling.

The US Air Force has long begun to test the 50KW laser of the F15 fighter. In terms of power alone, this number can kill all missiles and aircraft in seconds. However, the devil has always hidden in details. Laser cannons need to be used on a large scale, and large power does not mean everything: long-distance aiming and focusing ability, and laser beam residence time are also the two biggest bottlenecks.

In fact, our army has been studying the weapon of laser cannon for a long time and has achieved great results. The only drawback is that it needs to make another breakthrough in miniaturization.

But from now on, there is no problem in this regard.

my country once conducted an experiment. As long as the energy of the laser cannon can reach 100 GW, it only takes 0.01 seconds of continuous irradiation to easily solve the warheads of general intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In addition, in the late 1990s, my country also conducted laser-related experiments and destroyed 155mm shells many times. It proved that in terms of interception efficiency and interception power, laser cannons are much stronger than ordinary interceptors.

If you only use physical ammunition to intercept, then the issue of ammunition load alone is an insurmountable barrier. Judging from the navy's interception test, it takes thousands of shells to perform a relatively short interception mission. Even for 30mm shells, 1,000 rounds are a very large size. The weight of 30mm shells is about 2 kilograms, and 1,000 rounds is a full 2 ​​tons. For an aircraft, the weight of 2 tons is actually not small.

When using missile interception, the interception difficulty and interception efficiency are much lower.

The interception efficiency of a missile is generally only about 70%, so the interception task is generally carried out using the mode of intercepting 1. In this mode, if you want to intercept enough missiles, the biggest problem is how to solve your own bomb load.

Both problems with lasers can be solved. Even in high-power interception mode, the energy consumed by a laser will not exceed 150 kilograms of battery or chemical energy, which is about 10 times more than the use of missiles and cannons. When performing combat missions, the interceptor can also adjust the output power of the laser according to the size and range of the incoming target to plan the power and range. This is exactly the biggest advantage of laser weapons.

Of course, the laser cannon has not been used before because the miniaturization of laser cannons has not been successful. But now, the miniaturization of laser cannons has made a major breakthrough, and ordinary J-20 fighters can be installed, so let alone the big guy of J-50.

Of course, although laser cannons are good, there are many problems. The main reason is that haze and cloud cover can greatly reduce their effectiveness or even directly fail. Therefore, in general, laser cannons are best used at high altitudes, which are most suitable at high altitudes with low air density and uncomplex environments.

Therefore, the J-50 has also developed another weapon, electromagnetic gun!

The advantage of electromagnetic guns is that they are super low in recoil and high in the initial velocity of the projectiles. For example, they are suitable for close-range attacks. The attack effect on solid targets is better than that of laser guns, and the speed is between laser guns and traditional missile shells.

However, the weakness of the electromagnetic gun is also very obvious. The higher the initial velocity of the projectile, the longer the range, the better the performance. However, due to severe aerodynamic heating and the powerful launch impact of 3-50,000G, the projectile cannot be equipped with a seeker. In fact, it can only be used as a high-speed rail. The lack of accuracy in long-range attacks has always been a weakness.

Since electromagnetic guns and laser guns have their own advantages and disadvantages, our army did not show obvious tendencies. We walked on two legs and did not ignore one of them. To this day, our army's electromagnetic guns have also made major breakthroughs.

But there is more than this weapon system for the J-50.

In addition, he has another secret weapon, which is a microwave cannon, or a microwave weapon.

In fact, Chinese scientists have invested more than 6 years of research and development in microwave weapons technology.

At the 2016 National Science and Technology Awards Conference, a new concept technology achievement developed by Chinese expert Huang Wenhua led his team to win the first prize. The result will have significant application potential in national defense construction, economic construction, industrial production, etc.

It was from where our army's microwave cannons started.

The microwave cannon on the J-50 refers to high-power microwave weapons. This is a very advanced new concept weapon technology. The basic principle is to radiate high-power microwaves in a directional manner through high-gain antennas, so that microwave energy is concentrated in a very narrow beam, forming a microwave beam with high success rate, concentrated energy and directionality, and illuminate the target with extremely high intensity. By destroying electronic components and interfering with electronic equipment, it disintegrates the enemy's weapon combat capabilities, destroys its communications, command and control systems, and causes casualties.

Like laser weapons, high-power microwaves are advanced weapon technologies that transmit at or close to the speed of light.

The mechanisms of these two weapons are similar, but their killing methods have their own characteristics.

The killing and destruction method of laser weapons is generally "hard destroy". It mainly focuses the laser beam very fine and aims accurately, and directly hits the target to destroy the target.

High-power microwave weapons are "soft killing" characterized by interference or burning down electronic components of weapon systems. The energy required for the destruction effect is several orders of magnitude smaller than that of laser weapons, so they can be equipped on smaller platforms such as drones.

In addition, since the beam spot of the microwave beam is much larger than that of the laser beam, the strike range is also larger, and the accuracy of tracking and aiming is relatively low.

Fictionally speaking, laser weapons focus on "picking a line of guns", while high-power microwave weapons emphasize "sweeping a large piece of sticks".

In contrast, the cost and technical difficulty of high-power microwave weapons are lower than those of laser weapons, and are more conducive to miniaturization of weapons.

Chen Fei was stunned after listening to Shangqiu's introduction.

Oh shit!

The J-50 is too awesome. If you drive this weapon to the alien world, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack!

Can aliens withstand it?
