Chapter 3489: A weapon to consume/defeat the enemy
"Are armor-piercing missiles more difficult to intercept than anti-tank missiles?" the leader asked in surprise.
Not only the leaders, but everyone at the scene also showed doubts. In terms of hit rate, anti-tank missiles pose a much higher threat to armored vehicles than direct-aiming armor-piercing projectiles. Why are they so easy to intercept?
"Indeed, from a conventional perspective, anti-tank missiles pose a great threat to armored vehicles due to their high accuracy and powerful destructive power. However, direct-fire armor-piercing projectiles with straight trajectories seem to be easier to predict and are also
Easier to intercept.
Wu Hao explained to the crowd in front of him: "But the key to the problem is that the flight trajectory of armor-piercing projectiles is relatively simple and direct, extremely fast, and is often launched at an extremely close distance, leaving the defense system with very little reaction time.
In contrast, although anti-tank missiles pose a greater threat, their flight paths are more complex and sometimes have the ability to change course midway, which gives us more warning time and interception windows."
Furthermore, Wu Hao continued: "Although anti-tank missiles pose a greater threat to armored targets, their guidance methods and principles make them more susceptible to interception by active defense systems.
In particular, most anti-tank missiles use infrared and TV guidance, so they are very susceptible to the influence of laser weapons. Many very precise photoelectric seekers may be directly blinded by such laser weapons.
Furthermore, anti-tank missiles are larger in size. Although they can accelerate and dive at the end, the overall speed is still not as fast as the direct flight speed of armor-piercing projectiles.
Although the direct-aiming armor-piercing projectiles fired by artillery have slow muzzle velocity and low power, their ballistics are affected by a few factors such as wind deflection and barrel wear, so the variables are extremely small.
That's the difference between catching a bird flying at low speeds with a predictable path, or dealing with a hare that suddenly bursts out of the forest with an unpredictable trajectory.
Furthermore, you can only install anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, manned aircraft, self-propelled mortars, etc. under it to meet the needs of your troops on the battlefield through various transformations.
Or you can't equip it with a smaller howitzer, or a grenade launcher, and you can't make it a fire support unit on the battlefield.
"What I will introduce later is the defensive capabilities of the intelligent manned combat vehicle, so what you want to introduce next is not its combat effectiveness, or its firepower configuration."
So I am afraid of loss, even more afraid of consumption, and even more distressed, and that is where the smallest value of manned weapons and equipment lies.
Although your active defense system is relatively strong at intercepting direct targets such as armor-piercing projectiles, it can still maintain a very low interception success rate.
That kind of weapon uses electromagnetic fields to accelerate projectiles. It has a long range, low accuracy, and amazing destructive power. It can accurately hit important enemy targets several kilometers away, and even under certain conditions, it cannot directly destroy enemy heavily armored units."
For example, low-level machine guns can be used to slowly suppress close-range targets, or smart anti-aircraft grenades can be used to accurately blast incoming rockets.
It's like wearing a layer of invisible armor on the tank, making every incoming round of ammunition invisible."
Having said that, Wu Hao paused for a while, letting every word fall heavily on the hearts of the audience. "What's more important is that your manned tanks can achieve swarm operations. There can be no space between a few tanks."
Seamless coordination forms a networked combat system that doubles combat effectiveness.
This also causes various sensors of the active defense system to be difficult to be affected by the surrounding environment, so the sensitivity of detection of such targets is relatively poor compared to guidance-controlled targets such as anti-tank missiles and manned aircraft."
Just imagine, what will it look like when a group of tanks like that shuttle across the battlefield at unimaginable speeds and strike with precision?"
Because the combat requirements are the same, the weapons and equipment carried under that vehicle cannot be freely converted. For example, a special model is equipped with a 77mm or 80mm rapid-fire gun, and cannot be paired with a 12.7 or 7.62mm automatic machine gun.
After hearing Wu Hao's introduction, everyone present nodded. Indeed, in war, people are always the most precious resource.
There were waves of cheers from the crowd at the scene, and we suddenly realized that the seemingly inconspicuous tank behind us might really have the power to subvert traditional war rules.
Having said that, Wu Hao smiled slightly, then walked to the intelligent manned combat vehicle, patted its thick new composite armor, and then smiled at everyone and said: "Of course, Xiaojia wants to
Forgot, you don’t yet have a new type of composite armor with excellent protective performance.
That means that it can only perform preset tasks, but can also flexibly respond to actual situations and even predict battlefield situations and delay layout."
Even laser weapons cannot be used to destroy key components of enemy manned aircraft in a very short period of time, rendering them ineffective."
And those manned weapons and equipment are just possessions. Once the war starts, countless manned weapons and equipment will be manufactured and sent off to the battlefield in so few manufacturing factories across the country.
After giving everyone some time to react, Wu Hao continued.
Having said that, Wu Hao paused for a while, giving everyone a little time to react and digest, and then continued.
If it is definitely needed, you mean if it is needed, you cannot equip it with your independently developed large-scale low-energy electromagnetic gun system.
If it is absolutely necessary for war, such intelligent manned combat vehicles will appear on the battlefield like a tide, becoming a weapon to attack the enemy, consume the enemy, and defeat the enemy."
The system only relies on a single sensor, but integrates data from a few sensors to achieve an all-round, three-dimensional perception of the battlefield environment.
"Of course, the core of a manned combat vehicle is 'manned'. It is equipped with a low-level autonomous artificial intelligence system that can learn independently, self-optimize, and make optimal decisions in a simple and less-changing battlefield environment.
Having said that, even if it was destroyed, so what? You just lost an intelligent manned combat vehicle, and there were no casualties.
You can't even add mechanical arms, mine-clearing devices, mine-laying devices, or mechanical engineering accessories to it to perform low-risk tasks on the battlefield, such as mine-clearing and mine-laying, or tasks such as breaking obstacles and opening passages.
."
Wu Hao walked behind the TV screen, then pointed at the content on the screen and introduced it to everyone present.
In that active defense system, you adopted a low-level defense strategy and a low-level intelligent algorithm.
"Moreover, you have generally optimized the interception algorithm for low-speed large targets to ensure that when faced with threats such as armor-piercing projectiles, the system can quickly make judgments and mobilize the most appropriate interception means.
Speaking of that, Wu Hao changed the topic and said with a smile: "Of course, Xiaojia must worry too.
