Chapter 3454: Using drones to defend against drone attacks
…
"However, with your active defense system, it undoubtedly adds a solid guarantee to our ships.
I believe that this system will play a huge role in future battlefields."
As Wen Changhong's words fell, everyone in the box agreed. Everyone expressed their sincere admiration and gratitude for Wu Hao and Haoyu Technology's contributions to national defense and military technology as well as weapons and equipment.
Just when everyone was discussing it heatedly, Wen Changhong suddenly raised a question, causing the room to become quiet again.
While everyone was surprised by this question, they also looked at Wu Hao curiously, waiting for his answer.
"Mr. Wu, can this ship active defense system be applied to submarines to help submarines resist threats from underwater, surface, and even air?"
When Wu Hao heard this, he was slightly startled, and then fell into deep thought.
This question was obviously beyond the scope of his previous consideration, but he quickly regained his composure, frowned slightly, and thought about this question seriously.
The atmosphere in the box became a little solemn for a while, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Wu Hao's answer.
Everyone knows that if this ship active defense system can really be applied to submarines, it will greatly improve the submarine's wartime survivability, and it will also affect the pattern of future naval battles.
After a moment, Wu Hao slowly raised his head, his eyes shining with determination.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Director Wen, the question you raised is very profound.
Applying ship active defense systems to submarines is indeed a topic worthy of in-depth study."
He paused and continued: "Theoretically, this defense system can be applied to submarines.
However, due to the particularity and concealment of submarines, a series of targeted improvements and optimizations to the ship's active defense system are needed to adapt to the submarine's combat environment."
Wu Hao's words made everyone's eyes brighten. They seemed to see a new era of naval warfare waving to them.
Wen Changhong even more excitedly patted the table and said loudly: "If this ship active defense system can be successfully applied to submarines, it will be a major leap for our navy!"
Everyone here heard the words and all responded. Obviously, everyone is very optimistic about the application of this active defense system to ships.
Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and nodded and said, "Director Wen is right. If this active defense system can really be applied to submarines, it will indeed be an innovation in our navy's equipment technology.
However, to achieve this goal, we still have a long way to go, and we need to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and time in R&D and testing."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an echo in the box. Everyone understood that the realization of this technology was extremely difficult, but once it was successful, its significance would be extraordinary.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Hao continued: "Our ship's active defense system mainly consists of three parts: the detection part, the intelligent control system, and the weapons part.
The detection part can be subdivided into many launch methods, such as shipborne phased array radar, air search radar, optical targeting radar, etc. These radars will transmit the detected data information to our intelligent control system for integration.
Analyze, and then obtain accurate parameter information of the incoming target, and then screen it.
If it is determined that the incoming target is a local missile drone, unmanned boat, torpedo, etc. that poses a threat to our own ships, then the intelligent control system will immediately carry out active interception and defense based on the preset relevant commands or instructions.
Of course, this process can also be controlled manually. The system will provide relevant options, and the operator only needs to make a selection and issue the command.
The advantage of this is that it is safe and reliable, but its response time lags far behind the autonomous decision-making of the artificial intelligence system."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at everyone present, and then continued: "As for the interception system, it is mainly divided into three parts. One part can be the ship's own weapons and equipment, such as medium and long-range air defense missiles, process air defense interception missiles, and
There are close-range rapid-fire guns, which are what we call 1130 and so on.
In addition, we can also install additional interception weapons for this ship's active defense system.
For example, our air defense drone system is specially designed to intercept suicide attack drones, using drones to counter drones."
“Using drones to counter drones?”
Hearing this sentence, everyone sitting there couldn't help but be surprised.
This was the first time they heard this concept, and they all looked curious and expectant, waiting for Wu Hao's further explanation.
Wu Hao smiled slightly and continued: "Yes, you heard it right. It is to use drones to counter drones.
We can design a special high-speed drone, which is a bit like the time-travel machine that young people play, and it is very fast.
For example, those civilian flying drones can basically reach a speed of two to three hundred kilometers, while our high-speed drone can reach a speed of four to five hundred kilometers, which is very fast.
This drone is equipped with ammunition. When the enemy's suicide attack drone strikes, the active defense system will lock the target and then guide our air defense drone system to launch the drone to impact and intercept.
Incoming suicide attack drone.
Moreover, this kind of air defense drone can also carry out cruise networking in a certain airspace. This kind of drone is equipped with miniaturized high-efficiency radar and infrared sensors, as well as micro air-to-air missiles or high-energy lasers.
arms.
They can cruise quickly in the air, and once they find an enemy drone, they can quickly lock on and destroy it."
He paused and saw that everyone was listening attentively, and then continued: "The advantage of this kind of air defense drone is its high flexibility and high cost performance.
They can quickly take off when needed to form an air defense network to protect ships. Moreover, because they are relatively small and relatively low-cost, they can carry a lot, and many such air defense interception drones can be released in one interception.
machine.
On average, the cost of intercepting a suicide attack drone is far lower than the interception cost of ship-based weapons.
I won’t talk about anything else, but let’s talk about how much it costs to fire the 1130 for one second. Calculated based on the maximum rate of fire of the 1130 close-in defense gun of 11,000 rounds per minute, which is 180 rounds per second, which means it costs one second to fire.
300,000. And this is just a barrage in the sky.
But if it is used to launch high-speed air defense interception drones like ours, it can launch dozens of them, and it is very cost-effective."
