The young man from the manufacturer looked back at Li Hai again, with surprise in his eyes.
"Concentrate on the operation, Xiao Cai, and study hard." Li Hai said.
Xiao Cai is referring to the female lieutenant who just joined the company and studied drone piloting.
"yes!"
Chen Qiming said with a smile, "Our captain is a flying shark pilot, you can tell at a glance."
Li Hai smiled and said, "We have become the best in the world in terms of UAVs used in combat. We have long heard that UAVs that can deal with aerial targets are being developed. Today we saw the real thing."
In the eyes of others, many people's first impression of this unknown model of unmanned helicopter is that it is an armed drone used for sea/ground attacks. It can carry eight missiles. This strike capability is very powerful.
But when Li Hai saw the air combat functional area under the color display in the operation cabin, he quickly judged that this was an unmanned helicopter that focused on air combat, and sea/ground attack was its part-time job.
At this time, Chang Haizhou interrupted and asked, "Captain, you haven't told me yet, how did you judge that the Discomfort would dispatch drones to deal with us?"
It turned out that Li Hai did not let the unknown model of unmanned helicopter go for a ride, but had a clear tactical purpose.
Li Hai said, "The Discomfort has replaced some of its crew and pilots, but they failed to control the spread of the virus. With Sweeney's cautious character, he will not use his precious pilots to deal with us. We haven't reached that point yet."
The Vila Bay behind us is in dilapidated condition, and it is unknown how long the Aegis system can continue to be used. They know our style and do not dare to send out Seahawk helicopters to stimulate us."
"We can't use missiles and artillery. As long as their fire control radar is turned on, we can receive an alarm. We need to avoid irritating us too much, avoid casualties, and achieve tactical goals. Apart from drones, Sweeney has no other
Good choice."
Chang Haizhou nodded repeatedly, his thoughts became clear, and he said in a deep voice, "The intensity of drones fighting drones is low enough. No one will admit it anyway. It just depends on whose drone can return to the mothership."
Already."
"That's what I mean." Li Hai smiled, "But I really didn't expect that ours is an air combat drone that specializes in hitting low, slow and small targets."
Aircraft with low altitude, slow speed and small targets are referred to as low, slow and small targets. Helicopters are also within this category and belong to the slow category.
Theoretically, by installing air combat modules, many drones can be equipped with air combat capabilities. In fact, that is very unprofessional. Air combat does not only mean the ability to attack air targets, but also the ability to respond.
Li Hai said, "I took a closer look at the appearance of that new gadget. I was still puzzled at the time. It looked like the aerodynamic shape of a fighter jet, but it was a rotor. Taken together, it looked a lot like a Comanche. This aerodynamic shape
The shape is conducive to high-speed flight, but the load factor will be affected."
He looked at Chang Haizhou and said, "That means you can't bring a lot of ammunition."
"Our aircraft can carry up to one ton of ammunition," the young man from the manufacturer said, as if his child was misunderstood by others and could only get 80 points.
Li Hai asked, "How far can it fly with a full load? How fast?"
The young man from the manufacturer hesitated and said, "Five hundred kilometers, more than 320 kilometers per hour."
"Young man, you're still hiding this from me." Li Hai laughed immediately after hearing this, "I'm a client, why are you keeping this secret from me?"
The young man from the manufacturer smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm used to it."
Immediately, he said seriously, "Chief, this product of ours is a series. The maximum flight distance of the air combat type when fully loaded is 672 kilometers, and the maximum speed when fully loaded is 340 kilometers. This was calculated during our test flight.
Accurate data came out.”
Everyone was surprised.
This data comprehensively exceeds all armed helicopters currently in service.
Chen Qiming is undoubtedly the most familiar with helicopters. He quickly asked, "How can it fly so far with a full load? That's a ton of load."
"It uses a lot of composite materials and is very light. Chief, go back to our leader and ask for the technical manual. Most of the data above are from test flights and are very accurate. By the way, we use gasoline-electric hybrid technology, which is fuel-efficient.
,Quiet." said the young man from the manufacturer.
Xiao Cai couldn't help but say, "Hybrid technology? Civilian automobile technology."
The young man from the manufacturer curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with civilian automobile technology? If it's easy to use, then it's good technology."
Only now did Li Hai take a closer look at the young man from the manufacturer, and found that he was too young. He looked like he had just graduated. When he heard that Xiao Cai looked down on their factory's technology, he immediately became a little angry.
Xiao Cai was scolded. She, who had just walked out of school, lowered her eyebrows in embarrassment. Then she quickly raised her head and carefully observed the movements of the young man from the manufacturer.
"Today's commercial drone technology is very powerful, and some of it has reached the point where it can feed back our military drone technology." Chen Qiming said with a smile, obviously paying attention to the development of this field.
Li Hai smiled and said, "The hybrid drone is light in weight, has a long range, and has good quiet performance. It is very consistent with the characteristics of a drone and is a very good technology."
"That's right." The young man from the manufacturer glanced at Xiao Cai.
This made Xiao Cai even more embarrassed. He was her master at the moment, and if she wanted someone to teach her carefully, she had to make connections. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, Master, I have no other intention."
A sweet apology made the young man from the manufacturer lose half of his anger. He was also a thin-skinned man. He forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. It's normal for your operators not to understand these technologies."
Originally, after the first half of the sentence came out, Xiao Cai breathed a sigh of relief, but after the second half came out, her face turned dark - I came from a major majoring in drones, and in the college entrance examination, I was several dozen points higher than the key line before I was dismissed.
I was admitted to the military academy and studied hard for four years, but you actually said that I don’t understand drone technology!
The three people behind them heard the conversation between the two young men and tried not to laugh out loud.
"Hey, I found an abnormal signal." The young man from the manufacturer suddenly said.
Li Hai frowned and immediately picked up the intercom and called Wan Liyang, "Director Wan, has the radar detected it?"
"Report to Captain, the radar did not detect any abnormal signals." Wan Liyang quickly replied.
The young man from the manufacturer said, "It is difficult for the 364 radar to detect small air targets at this distance, but the airborne radar of our aircraft is specially developed to detect low, slow and small targets. We have fully tested it and the effect is very good."
As he spoke, he concentrated on the control, adjusted the airborne radar to lock in the direction of the abnormal reflected signal, and asked for instructions, "Chief, I want to conduct active radar detection, is that okay?"
Li Hai immediately knew that despite his young age, this young man must have participated in many similar shipboard trials, because he was familiar with the situation and knew the impact of turning on active radar detection, so he had to ask for instructions.
"Okay!" Li Hai readily agreed.
The man from the manufacturer immediately adjusted the mode of the airborne radar to active detection.
In less than twenty seconds, there was immediate and clear feedback - a target was flying towards the No. 53 ship at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour, flying at an altitude of 80 meters above sea level. According to the radar reflection signal analysis, the target was not long.
It is more than seven meters tall and about two meters high, at least two times smaller than a small helicopter.
It is small in size, slow in speed, and flies at a low altitude. It is typically low, slow and small. It is more than fifty kilometers away from No. 53. No wonder the 364 radar did not detect it.
But the airborne radar of an unknown model of unmanned helicopter was actually able to capture the target so quickly.
Li Hai and Chen Qiming were both pilots. They looked at each other with surprise. The response speed of this airborne radar is too fast, the analysis speed is also fast, and the accuracy is extremely high!
"You can fight within twenty kilometers. Chief, do you want to fight?" The young man from the manufacturer was eager to give it a try.
Li Hai smiled and said, "It seems you masturbate a lot."
The young man from the manufacturer, who had read countless films, immediately blushed, probably because he didn't expect the captain to make such a joke.
…
Xiao Cai couldn't tell at all. Chen Qiming and Chang Haizhou were both familiar with it, so they laughed and said nothing.
In fact, Li Hai just said it casually to ease the tense atmosphere. The young man from the manufacturer heard it. The problem was that he thought Xiao Cai also heard it. He felt that he couldn't let Xiao Cai think that he heard it, so he immediately thought of a
Remedy.
He quickly said, "During the test flight, you must hit simulated targets. I have hit many target drones."
Xiao Cai carefully observed the movements of the young man from the manufacturer, focusing entirely on how to control this unknown model of drone, and said smoothly, "You are really good, I haven't done any actual combat yet."
The young man from the manufacturer felt that he had misheard again, so he quickly stopped his distracted thoughts and concentrated on controlling the unknown model of drone.
Li Hai and the other three found it quite interesting to chat between these two young people of similar age. They each talked about their own things, but they seemed to be able to talk together.
"Don't worry, active detection is off, fly closer and take a look." Li Hai gave the order.
"Understood!" The young man from the manufacturer was full of energy and followed the instructions, then made a graceful turn and climbed up a steep slope.
Now that we know the specific location of the target as well as the heading, speed, altitude and other data, the next step is easy. The height of climb is conducive to concealment, because almost no UAV airborne radar has upward-looking detection capabilities, and even some have
There are almost no fighters with this capability.
Above the target, no matter how powerful the target's radar is, it can't see the situation above itself.
Li Hai nodded repeatedly. This young man from the manufacturer is definitely an experienced pilot. He knows how to approach the target covertly. When he reaches a certain distance, the young man from the manufacturer will definitely approach the target by diving down from a high altitude.
"We just conducted active radar detection. Could the signal be intercepted by the target?" Xiao Cai asked.
The young man from the manufacturer looked at Xiao Cai in surprise. This question was asked very professionally. He suddenly realized that he was probably not a telephone operator, but a technical officer with a professional background.
"Probably not. You need the corresponding equipment to intercept it. Not all drones have it. According to the analysis of radar reflection signal characteristics, the target should be an unmanned helicopter called Fire Scout, which is used for reconnaissance and targeting.
It does not have electronic warfare capabilities." The young man from the manufacturer explained in detail, "Even if it is intercepted, nothing can be analyzed in such a short time. Our active detection time is relatively short."
He smiled mysteriously at Xiao Cai, "Besides, we are invisible."
Xiao Cai suddenly remembered that the aerodynamic shape of the unknown model of drone was clearly designed to be invisible to radar. I am afraid that the very different-looking surface coating on the fuselage also has the function of absorbing radar beams.
Chen Qiming and Chang Haizhou were very happy when they heard this. After the new things on the No. 53 ship have passed the actual combat test on the ship, the next step is to finalize them and then equip the troops in batches.
It is certainly a pleasure to have such a good thing in service.
The better, the better.
But Li Hai didn't look very happy. There was a slight smile on his lips, and his eyes were always on the color display. The navigation lights on the masts of the ships on the waterway looked like a long dragon in the night vision device, showing a huge "S".
type.
At this time, the unknown type of drone had reached the predetermined altitude. As expected, the man from the manufacturer adopted a dive method to increase the speed and descent rate, and headed straight towards the rear hemisphere of the target drone.
In the rear hemisphere, the target drone cannot see the unknown model of drone.
"Young man, come and be our coach for a while." Li Hai admired this young man more and more and said with a smile.
The young man from the manufacturer took a moment to take a look at Li Hai. He had been out at sea for a long time, and Li Hai had not taken care of his face. He had an unkempt beard and looked like he was in his thirties or forties. The young man from the manufacturer felt that the person who could become the leader should be at least forty years old, so he happily accepted it.
The title "young man".
He smiled and said, "I have no problem, as long as our leader approves."
"I'll go talk to your leaders and it's settled," Li Hai said.
The young man from the manufacturer suddenly became excited and immediately used all his strength to perform the following operations. ()
