Chapter 1265 Firepower Channel

an/spg-62, looking at the name alone can easily make people mistakenly recognize it as a Soviet-made bazooka. In fact, this is a firepower control radar used by the US Navy in large quantities of equipment and combined with the Japanese M-66 series missiles.

Specifically, the function of this thing is to illuminate electromagnetic signals of a specific frequency on the incoming target under the instructions of the "Aegis" system, and then the semi-active radar-guided "Standard" missile can follow the target echoes all the way forward until it is successfully intercepted or missed with the target; in this process, each "Standard" that takes off has to go through, but the "Standard" equipped with the radio command correction function does not need to receive an/spg-62 illumination signals in the middle of the flight. This engagement mode is probably similar to the r-27r and aim-7p, which improves the air defense interception capability of the "Aegis" system to a certain extent.

At the very least, if the mid-stage command is used to correct it, each stagnant day m-66h only needs to get radio commands, and the command does not need to include precise target parameters, which is easy for an automated air defense system, and there is no upper limit on the number of missiles that stagnant air.

Because of this, facing the influx of Soviet air-fired anti-ship missiles, even the extremely high speed KH-15, the US Navy is not without parrying. The an/spy-1c radar can see these big guys who are roaring and flying at altitudes clearly, and batches of targeted elements are quickly sent to the computer; it solves the predicted ballistics of the "Carryback" and when the missile approaches the far boundary of the "Standard" ii, the system will fire at least one, or even two, M-66h in advance. In this way, when the "Carryback" flies into the range of the ship-to-air missile, the "Standard" of counter-trend attacks can be a volley.

Faced with the high-speed Russian anti-ship missiles, the United States' air defense system is under great pressure. The operation of launching missiles in advance seems simple, but it puts high requirements on the integrated combat command and control system.

At the very least, anyone can think of one thing. Since so many missiles are flying in the air, even if the number of missiles prepared by M-66h per day is not considered, from the interception efficiency, every "Aegis" warship should be able to play a role and aim at the targets they allocated to fire.

Otherwise, in the battlefield where the situation is changing rapidly, some mistakes will inevitably occur. Some are assigned many "standards", while others are not taken care of at all.

Interception efficiency and other things, the wealthy U.s.navy may not care about it, but if a few "returning guns" are leaked at once, it may pose a serious threat to the United States' aircraft carrier battle group. Therefore, at this time, all air defense warships in the entire fleet are fighting in a complete air defense command system, and they frequently contact each other to confirm their respective attack fans, and then they will select an opportunity to launch the day m-66h based on the incoming missile situation.

In large-scale sea and air combat, especially in the face of a large number of anti-ship missiles, the "Aegis" built by the Americans is probably the largest and strict defense system on the earth. However, the facts will soon prove that even such a high-tech and very expensive system is still a little weak in front of the flying kh-15.

The battle between spears and shields, in the long history of human wars, generally speaking, the former always has some advantage, which probably has become a universal truth.

This is probably the case when kh-15 and "standard" break out on the ocean.

NATO called the As-16 "Carryback" and a solid rocket engine anti-ship missile with a length of nearly five meters, it flies fast enough and the power of the warhead is not vague. It is a threat to the heavy aircraft carrier of the US Navy; on the other hand, if a "Carryback" and "standard" offensive and defensive simulation is simply used - just like the Americans tested the "Aegis" system, then the latter can still perform their duties in most cases and intercept the whistling torch from dangerous distances.

A flight speed of three Mach can even be compared with the sharp spear gun of APSDS in the final sprint. At first glance, it poses a very high threat to the warship. However, because of its extremely fast speed, the corresponding maneuverability is not ideal. It is still easy to be intercepted by fleet air missiles such as the Japanese m-66h in the middle of the flight.

The probability of intercepting missiles with missiles is generally not very high. However, for the "standard" ii, the probability of killing a single missile against a typical target is about 70%. If two are launched one after another, it can reach more than 90%. During the KH-15 flight process, even if the range of the M-66h per day is taken into account, the Americans can theoretically have at least four or five interception opportunities.

With so many interception opportunities, it seems that it makes all the efforts of the Red Navy bombers futile, but in fact it is not the case at all.

Now, groups of people flew over the sky, and dark gray KH-15 missiles dragging bright tail flames are approaching, only about 200 kilometers away from the center of the aircraft carrier battle group. The "Aegis" system determined that it could launch missiles, and "standard" ii flew away from the launch unit with smoke and dust, flying towards the distant sky without any hesitation.

Although the incoming missiles are still far away, the Ticonderoga and Burke class are not stingy with ammunition at all. The Aegis warships surrounded by three aircraft carriers are filled with smoke. In just over ten seconds, the MK-41, which is good at rapid fire, has frequently shown its power. The nine air defense ships suddenly fired dozens of M-66 hours. Although the scene cannot be compared with the magnificent volley of the Red Navy anti-ship missiles, it is also spectacular for a while.

"Spectacular", this word seems a bit awkward, but it is indeed the case.

Seeing that the manhole covers of the front and rear launch units on each warship were frequently opened, and gray-white "standard" missiles pierced the sky like fireworks. No one among the bystanders could count how many missiles the US Navy had launched, but as long as it fired, the shadow of Russia's heavy anti-ship missiles seemed to be a little indifferent.

The threat in front of him temporarily disappeared, but the generals in the command center were still feeling a little nervous while being grateful.

This kind of uneasiness is just a vague feeling for many people, but in the face of so many Russian air-to-ship missiles, Air Colonel Walsh and Lieutenant General William Pratt and others fell into silence.

The origin of the feeling is not difficult to determine, but it is much more difficult to truly consider this dilemma.

The Red Navy and the US Navy, the winner of a naval and air battle, is now on the whistling kh-15.

Faced with so many anti-ship missiles, the actual number will be about 130, even if you hold the seemingly indestructible aegis, you can calmly move into the missile shooting?

No, absolutely not!

Lieutenant General did not conduct any in-depth research on the combat performance of the "Carryback" missile, and he did not have such leisure time in his military career. However, Pratt did read the information on the Japanese M-66h missile, MK-1 combat command system and other modules. He was very clear about the air defense combat mode of the "Aegis" ship. Now that he still faces the enemy in this way, the failure of the United States is inevitable.

The reason is very simple. How many firepower channels will a Ticonderoga class air defense cruiser have in total?

This question is unanswered by the an/spy-1c carried on the warship, but the U.S. Navy commanders who specialize in the bank are easy to figure out, and then the chills that come with it.

During the entire battle process, the Sun M-66h does not need radar illumination when it just flew away from the launch unit, but at the end of the flight, it must rely on the irradiation of the an/spg-62 fire-controlled radar to complete the return; simply put, each Sun M-66h that rushes toward the target must have a corresponding radar illumination beam to guide it. In this way, an An/spg-62 is a fire channel.

However, with the advantages of electronic technology, the American an/spg-62 fire control radar can "simultaneously" guide four "standard" ii missiles, and the number of fire channels becomes four times the number of radars. Of course, these four "standard" ii missiles cannot really catch the enemy at the same time, and can only meet with the targets one after another. The radar can provide illumination for four air-stagnant missiles in sequence through time-sharing. This puts forward some requirements for the combat methods of the air defense system and even the incoming targets. The former is easy to meet, while the latter can only depend on luck.

The U.S.navy battleship patrolling around the aircraft carrier, four an/spg-62 installed on the Ticonderoga class, and three installed on the "Ali Burke" class.

In this way, all nine Aegis air defense ships were gathered - except for the Ticonderoga retained by the fleet, the number of firepower channels available in the hands of the Americans was 128, which is a considerable number. At least, it is not less than the whistling "back gun". In theory, each incoming As-16 can be allocated to a firepower channel and then encountered head-on interception by the "standard" ii.

The calculation on paper is probably like this, but at this moment, what happened in the sky is not at all this rhythm.

The missiles flew over quickly, and the "carf-back guns" that raided at high speed were very conspicuous on the radar display of the "Aegis" system, and the distance was rapidly reduced from 300 kilometers.
