Chapter 518 This meeting ends today

A shoot and B guide cannot be achieved for the time being, as that thing requires an aerial data link. If Gao Zhendong, who is running on the ground, has the confidence to build a low-speed data transmission network now, then the conditions are not yet met for something that flies so fast, although things flying in the air have very good visual communication conditions.

And it is easy to shoot, the key is that there is nothing to guide. Radar, whether it is a small radar on a fighter or a large radar installed on a bomber, does not have the ability to guide multiple semi-active radar bombs. That is something that only a phased array can do.

Without a phased array, the most a radar can do is use time division technology or frequency division technology to guide 2-4 missiles, which is basically the limit. There is no essential difference from guiding one missile. As for code division, the conditions are not yet mature at this time.

Even so, the radar still needs to achieve a certain degree of digitization. Otherwise, relying solely on analog circuits to guide multiple missiles is a cost that airborne radars basically cannot afford.

Gao Zhendong also considered wireless command guidance, but this method has a big problem. The requirements for the missile are not high, but the requirements for the guidance system are very high. The entire system including radar, calculation, and command transmission is relatively complex, which is a bit unaffordable for current fighter jets.

After all, air-to-air missiles are weapons of fighter jets. If fighter jets cannot carry them, then they lose their meaning.

Seeing that everyone was talking further and further away and their imaginations were getting bigger and bigger, Gao Zhendong quickly retracted his thoughts, otherwise this matter would really be unreliable.

"The comrades' ideas are all very good. My original idea was actually quite simple."

Some of the more insightful ones somewhat understood what Gao Zhendong meant - you guys are thinking too far ahead, it's not very reliable, I actually haven't thought that much.

Everyone stopped talking and listened to Gao Zhendong talk about his "simple ideas".

"My original idea was to further modify the Tu-4 and put the radar in the sky! Add some command equipment and command the air force from the sky! As for the semi-active radar air-to-air missile, before our fighter jets have better radars, its development and testing tasks can be undertaken by this special modified aircraft, but in the end, it still has to return to the fighter jets."

Feeling that his words were not logically consistent with the previous ones, Gao Zhendong added: "Of course, this semi-active air-to-air radar missile is not without effect on this modified aircraft. If the range of this missile is large enough, it can give full play to the radar advantage of this aircraft and strike the enemy's important air nodes from a long distance."

The second half of this sentence is actually a bit nonsense. The "air command post" that Gao Zhendong mentioned is an early warning aircraft. Which early warning aircraft would go forward to attack other people's early warning aircraft? This kind of treasure has always been hiding far behind.

Even in Gao Zhendong's previous life, the "flying electric pole" with a range of hundreds of kilometers, a length of 6 meters, and a height of two stories when erected was carried by Sister Pomegranate and had nothing to do with a bunch of special electronic machines.

But everyone was unable to react for a while. Their attention was drawn to the "air command post" Gao Zhendong mentioned.

"Putting the command post in the sky? This is an interesting idea."

"Well, standing high and seeing far, this way, we are not restricted by the terrain at all, the visibility is good, and we can also search and track targets that invade at low altitudes."

"I think that standing high and seeing far is secondary. The key to this method is that the radar station and the command post are located at the front line, which is very proactive."

"Don't be too happy. There is a big problem that has not been solved. What should we do with ground clutter? Our radar seems to be very weak in processing ground clutter."

Ground clutter, radar problems, P-2V rampant, K-5 imitation aircraft canceled, and even as Gao Zhendong knew in his previous life, the death of my country's first early warning aircraft, the core problems all lie here, and it can be said to be a long-standing problem.

Let alone us, even the Russians are in a mess in this regard.

This was indeed a problem. Everyone stopped getting excited, and only the comrades in the Air Force were still fantasizing about it. The early warning aircraft really hit their pain points.

Gao Zhendong has some knowledge in this area. He found the information when he was doing online matching, but he didn't understand it all. Since it was just for matching and not for writing a graduation thesis, he threw it aside and didn't read it. The cost was too high and it was not worth it.

But that little bit of information was enough to temporarily answer the questions of his comrades. He smiled and said, "Regarding the question of ground clutter, actually..."

"Wait a minute!" Just as he said this, the voice of the leader of the Defense Work Committee rang out.

Before Gao Zhendong could shut up, the chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee announced: "Today's meeting ends here. The imitation work of K-5 is suspended. We will hold other meetings after the holiday to discuss other follow-up work. It's late today, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we won't delay everyone's New Year celebration."

The leader and the chief engineer looked at each other with joy on their faces. It was a close call. This kid's words were too hard to handle. As for the joy on his face, there was no need to explain it.

Everyone looked at the warm winter sun hanging high outside and the hands of their watches, which showed only ten o'clock. It was already late? Chief Engineer, you didn't drink too much this morning, did you?
No matter how confused everyone is, this meeting is over.

Gao Zhendong was packing up and preparing to leave when a comrade from the Air Force came over.

"Comrade Gao Zhendong, thank you today." "No, no, it's just work that should be done." Watching resources being wasted is not Gao Zhendong's habit.

The Air Force comrade smiled and said, "Not only the work you did today, but also your speech today has inspired me a lot personally."

Is there such an effect? ​​Gao Zhendong said: "Well, the speeches at the meeting are all my personal opinions. If they can resonate with others, I will be honored, haha."

The Air Force comrade opened his notebook and pointed to the words on it: "Chief Engineer Gao, I plan to write a few articles based on the points you mentioned. I hope you can give me some advice when the time comes. Each of your words can lead to a lot of things, which is of great significance to our technical and tactical research."

Gao Zhendong looked at the few lines of words that his finger had pointed at, and he was also full of admiration. Anyone who could appear here must be here to fool around. This comrade was very sharp and knew how to grasp the key points.

"I don't deserve your criticism. Those are just my thoughts. What is really useful in technical and tactical research is your air combat theory and practical experience."

"Hahaha, Chief Engineer Gao, don't be so modest. It's settled. Let me work on it first. When I have a rough idea, I will come to you for advice. Show it to me."

Gao Zhendong was more than happy to work with the professionals in the army, which was also a good way to express his opinion.

"Okay, then it's settled." He agreed readily and shook hands firmly with his comrades in the army.

As soon as the comrades in the army turned around, the leader of the Defense Work Committee came over and said, "You gave us a big surprise, but we spoke too quickly and almost scared us, haha."

Both he and the commission's chief engineer knew that Gao Zhendong had actually been strangled before he had the chance to elaborate on many things.

Gao Zhendong then understood why he had just stopped the meeting.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can't quite grasp the scale for many things." The comrades have raised their questions, and Gao Zhendong will naturally do his best to explain it as clearly as possible. However, he can't quite grasp when he can and can't say what's in his head.

In this era, many of those things are new or technologies that we have not yet mastered. If Gao Zhendong cannot even say anything about these things, then he basically has nothing to say.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the case. He smiled and said, "Well, that's right. If you want to say it, just say it. We will help you put the brakes on."

If Gao Zhendong really worried too much and didn't talk much, God knows what he would miss.

After saying this, the leader reminded him again: "Well, when you have time when you go back, sort out the radar air-to-air missiles, especially the radar and the air command post. We will organize it later."

Gao Zhendong was delighted, as he had achieved his goal: "Yes!"

After the leader finished explaining things, he was about to turn around and leave, but then he seemed to remember something and turned back halfway.

"By the way, you said that our current fighter jets don't have enough space in the nose. That's not accurate. I'll send you the basic data of the Z-6 later. You can refer to the nose diameter of the Z-6 and consider related issues."

After that, the leader added: "I won't hide it from you. This thing is in the improvement plan, and it happens to be changed to the direction of the air intake on both sides. Although the original goal is not to be a fighter, there is still room for adjustment."

What's the point of hiding it from Gao Zhendong? It's totally unnecessary.

The leader's intention was not to ask Gao Zhendong to develop a radar, but to give him a reference to facilitate his estimation and thinking about the fighter jet's airborne radar.

When Gao Zhendong heard this, the shape of an airplane immediately emerged in his mind. It must be her!
It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Zhendong thinks it is the most beautiful plane!
Although when Gao Zhendong saw it in his previous life, it was very old and mottled, and the traces of time were everywhere on its body. It was quietly parked in the park and it was impossible for it to return to soar in the sky.

But Gao Zhendong just thought it was so beautiful.

It was also an aircraft that once carried the fantasies and imaginations of countless old military fans, because before the 90s, in the eyes of military fans, it was our only "pointed-nose fighter", even though its actual positioning was not a fighter.

Gao Zhendong forced himself to hold back the words "Fifth Master" that were about to come out of his mouth, pretended that he had just realized it, and nodded.

The modified Zhan-6 has air intakes on both sides. Who else could it be but her?
The Gong-5 attack aircraft is another one of the five most famous aircraft along with the Zhan-5 and Z-5.
