Chapter 2308 A completely different active defense system
While Wu Hao and the others were talking, this medium-sized intelligent unmanned assault vehicle had been prepared, and the most anticipated live-fire demonstration of the active defense system was finally about to begin.
Wu Hao, as for Wu Hao, smiled and introduced to everyone who showed great interest: "This live-fire interception test of the active defense system is mainly to demonstrate to everyone the active defense system of our medium-sized intelligent unmanned combat vehicle.
The ability to respond when encountering incoming threats.
This test is mainly divided into three parts. First, we will simulate the RPG rocket attack that is most common and most likely to be encountered on the battlefield, especially urban street fighting and many security battles.
This is almost the most common weapon attack on the battlefield. Because it is cheap enough, simple enough, and violent enough, it is basically active on every battlefield.
The US military even has relevant statistics. Among the many attacks they encountered, the largest number were RPG rocket attacks, followed by roadside bombs and landmines.
Therefore, in order to deal with RPG rocket attacks, the American army and other Western armies have thought of many ways. The most common and well-known one is the fence grille welded and installed on the periphery of many armored vehicles and tanks. This kind of grille will
It will effectively defend against rocket attacks.
The principle is that the rocket will get stuck in the grille with dense gaps and cannot hit the car body, so it cannot explode and naturally cannot damage the vehicle.
Secondly, even if they explode, these RPG rockets use the directional hollow charge used in armor-piercing projectiles. After the fuze hits the impact vehicle, it ignites the hollow charge tube in the missile, forming a powerful metal jet that penetrates
Armor.
But this kind of metal jet must be closely attached to the armor to exert its power. When it detonates tens of centimeters away from the armor, the metal jet will attack the armored target again at a distance, and the power will be much smaller."
At this point, Wu Hao paused briefly, then changed his tone and continued: "Despite this grille protection, armored vehicles damaged by rockets are everywhere on various battlefields.
Therefore, a better defense technology must be developed, so military technical experts from various countries have thought of many ways. Among them, the active defense system is the most promising, and it is also a technology that all countries are vying to study.
The current active defense systems in various countries are mainly based on the principles of active defense systems on new tanks equipped by the Goose Army. Simply put, they use phased array radar to scan the surrounding environment of armored vehicles in real time. When incoming missiles are detected,
Or after a rocket is launched, the interceptor device on the armored vehicle will launch an interceptor according to the angle. This interceptor will explode near the incoming missiles and rockets, thus destroying and intercepting the incoming missiles and rockets.
This kind of active defense technology is much stronger than passive defense armor, but it also has a problem, that is, it uses terminal interception, that is to say, it can only be destroyed by one interception. If
If the interception fails, it will only be hit and destroyed by incoming missiles and rockets.
At present, the active defense technologies unveiled by various countries are basically the same, without any innovation. This has also led to the fact that this technology has not been used on a large scale. On the one hand, the interception success rate of this technology is not
So satisfying, it can only be better than nothing. In addition, it is expensive. Let’s not talk about anything else. The four small shields (phased array radar) on the tank are worth a lot of money.
Therefore, currently, all countries and militaries are still in the exploratory stage regarding this technology, and only a small number of troops have been commissioned."
As he spoke, Wu Hao glanced at the people who were listening to his explanation attentively, then smiled slightly, and then spoke loudly: "As for our active defense technology, it should be said that it is two different things from the active defense system mentioned earlier.
In other words, they are two concepts and two completely different technologies.
First of all, the principle of our active defense system is very different from the active defense system currently being researched and installed by various countries. Our active defense system does not use the method of damage and interception, but is more like a ship.
The rapid-fire cannon adopts the method of impact interception.
Although it may not have as high a range as close-in bomb damage interception, it can achieve continuous interception, and the interception distance is relatively far, and it can achieve mid-course interception.
That is to say, the missiles or rockets are discovered during their flight stage, and then intercepted in real time. The interception accuracy is improved by distance and time. Barrages are laid in the air through continuous fire, so that the incoming targets can hit the barrages.
Achieve the goal of damage and interception."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Leader Meng smiled and said: "This is a bit like the Phalanx interception system."
"Yes, the principles are somewhat similar, but there are still big differences. First of all, our equipment is relatively small and can be installed on armored vehicles. Secondly, our active defense system is more intelligent and does not require human control.
We can discover the target by ourselves, attack and intercept the incoming target. In this way, we have a faster reaction speed than humans, so we can quickly discover and intercept it quickly, and buy time for successful interception.
We know that both missiles and rockets fly very fast, so we must gain every millisecond to react."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused and continued with a smile: "Different from the phased array radar system used by other active defense systems, what we use is 1,000-channel laser radar plus image recognition technology, using high-power 1,000-channel laser radar
LiDAR and our intelligent image recognition system build an environment awareness area of several hundred meters around the armored vehicle.
All targets in this area will be detected and captured by our system, and useless and secondary information will be filtered out through the intelligent system, while important data will be retained.
When this system detects that the trajectory of a flying target in the air is heading towards an armored vehicle, the active defense system will immediately lock the target for tracking, and then calculate the threat level. When it is confirmed that the target poses a serious threat to its own safety, the active defense system will automatically
The defense system will remotely control the machine gun of the turret or the weapon station above to intercept incoming targets.
Because there is a powerful intelligent system performing real-time calculations, we can accurately detect the flight trajectory of the incoming target, predict its forward flight trajectory, and then implement early attack and interception. In this way, we can use this system
The success rate of intercepting incoming targets has been raised to a new level."
