Chapter 1,247 Various interception methods take turns
When missiles fly at ultra-low altitudes, they can easily hide in the waves. Early missiles were unable to intercept missiles flying at ultra-low altitudes because they were unable to filter clutter. The Sea Sidewinder missiles originally purchased used infrared angle deviation tracking.
The system is used to solve the problem of sea surface clutter, which is essentially similar to that of anti-tank missiles.
In the face of modern technology, sea clutter is not a big problem, but it still tests the technical level of the missile itself. If the performance is not strong, the target is likely to be lost.
Therefore, any anti-aircraft missile will have a minimum interception height. When the Hongqi-9 missile was first equipped with the Navy, there were many opinions saying that the minimum launch height of this missile was 500 meters, that is to say, 500 meters.
The following targets cannot be intercepted at all. Such a Red Flag Nine is as useless as the British sea javelin back then. Of course it is impossible. So in a certain exercise, the Navy performed a Red Flag Nine interception of ultra-low-altitude sea skimming.
The target’s special skills.
However, the Hongqi-9 is, after all, a regional air defense missile. In the Eastern Navy's vertical launcher, almost all versions with a range of two hundred kilometers or even further are inserted into the Eastern Navy's vertical launch devices. This kind of regional air defense missile is used to intercept ultra-low-altitude skimming missiles.
The sea target is a bit wasteful.
After all, the sea is an arc. No matter how far the missile range is, it is useless. It can only intercept sea-skimming targets thirty or forty kilometers away. At this time, the medium-range Hongqi Sixteen can come in handy. It has a range of seventy kilometers.
The Red Flag Sixteen has been put into service in large quantities and can fully undertake the task of intercepting sea skimming targets.
In this way, one can shoot high altitude and the other low altitude, and they can each perform their own duties. Anyway, they are universal hangings, so you can wear whatever you want.
Now, the two red flags are flying towards the target, and the second round of interception depends on them!
Compared with the thick Hong Qi Nine, Hong Qi Sixteen is smaller, which also means higher maneuverability. After being launched, Hong Qi Sixteen quickly climbed up and drew a beautiful trajectory in the air. After passing the highest point, it began to dive.
.
A layman can watch the excitement, but an expert can watch the door. Just look at the swooping trajectory of the missile, and the radar officer on the E-3 early warning aircraft once again exclaimed: "It is indeed an active seeker!"
If it is a semi-active seeker, it must fly between the rear illumination radar and the target, so that the missile's seeker can receive the target signal. Even if it relies on command guidance in the first half, it can fly a parabola close to the target.
Sometimes, it is also necessary to fly between the two and use proportional guidance to fly to the target.
Now it dives directly towards the target and can accurately capture the target. It is a proper active seeker!
When active radar missiles were perfected, semi-active guided missiles began to fall behind. However, due to inheritance, many missiles still used the original guidance method. I didn't expect that the Orientals actually installed active seekers on Hongqi Sixteen.
!
"Two missiles still only attack one target. What are they doing?" Some people also asked.
Now it is completely possible to fire a salvo, just like setting off fireworks, continuously sending missiles into the sky and directly knocking down all three missiles. However, now they only fired two interceptor missiles and only aimed at one target.
What to do with the remaining two goals?
Time passed quickly. Almost at the same time as the question was raised, the first missile had already rushed towards a Sunburn missile and detonated in front of it. The dense debris rushed towards the Sunburn missile. The next moment, the Sunburn missile's engine
It burned, and the debris had damaged its engine!
Then, the second missile flew in. After the warhead exploded, the Sunburn missile turned into a ball of fire and fell downwards.
This also reflects the power of the Sunburn missile. Ordinary anti-ship missiles in this era use aluminum alloy casings, but it uses titanium alloy luxuriously, not only for the casing, wings, rudders, and various structural supports.
They are all made of titanium alloy and have strong impact resistance.
Even so, it can't stop the attack of two red flags and sixteen!
"Second missile shot down!"
The naval command hall burst into applause again.
The Red Flag Nine missiles won the first victory, and the Red Flag Sixteen missiles expanded their results! These two successful interceptions have already proved the power of the Eastern Aegis battleship!
If it was really a war, interceptor missiles would be fired one after another, shooting down the targets one after another, until the entire silo was emptied. Just like the American police, they would either not shoot, or they would have to clear the silo if they wanted to.
magazine.
An Aegis warship can intercept at least thirty anti-ship missiles. What enemy has the luxury to launch so many in a naval battle? Therefore, the air defense capabilities of this kind of warship are beyond words!
However, some people are excited.
"Huh, they only intercepted two missiles. This shows that their air defense system does not have multi-channel combat capabilities. It can only guide and attack one target at a time. It is not as good as our Delhi-class, which has 6 targets.
Illuminating the radar can deal with six targets at the same time!"
For Ah San, quantity has always been the pursuit. With so many weapons packed into the Delhi-class's small body, it would feel like it would be overwhelmed at any time. At the same time, the Delhi-class's air defense firepower channels are also quite numerous.
Ticonderoga only has four target illumination radars, and the envisaged 21956 destroyer is only equipped with six target illumination radars. The radar is sufficient, but I don't know if the launcher has such a fast firing rate.
However, Ah San is still very proud.
"Yes, they can only intercept two targets this time, which shows that the anti-aircraft firepower of their warships is lagging behind!" Sunil said: "Next, our military program will carefully analyze this exercise and educate everyone about what
The performance of the Jubail class is so poor that it is far inferior to our Asan warships. We are the overlord of this sea area and will always be!"
The Ah Sans nodded one after another, looking proud.
"Hey, both missiles climbed up!" At this moment, someone exclaimed.
In the end, there were two Sunburn missiles left, only ten kilometers away from the target. They were supposed to continue flying at a sea-skimming altitude of seven meters above the sea, but now they actually climbed up!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although they are both sea skimming flights, sea skimming is different from sea skimming. Dongfang's C801 missile can reduce the altitude to one or two meters, while Lao Maozi's missile has the lowest altitude
The height can only be seven meters. After all, the missile is too big. If you don't pay attention, it may plunge into the sea as soon as you lower your head. You won't even have time to react, so you can only raise the flight altitude higher.
According to Lao Maozi's design, the attack mode of the Rizhi anti-ship missile is to fly at ultra-low altitude, but now it actually climbs up. What is this? Is it cheating?
"Huh, they knew they couldn't intercept the ultra-low-flying missile. After all, they had entered the final stage of the attack and were about to make a snake maneuver, so they just let the missile climb up!" Ah San continued to despise.
The American reaction is closer to the truth.
"They plan to accelerate this missile to Mach 3!"
Forget about long-distance interception. After all, the missile couldn't maneuver at that time, so it just focused on flying forward. But when it got close, it started to make S turns to avoid the blow.
The maximum flight speed of the Sunburn missile is only Mach 2.3. Even if it is intercepted, there will definitely be people comparing it to each other, saying that Mach 2.3 is nothing, and it is normal to intercept it. Mach 3 will definitely not be able to intercept it because of the difficulty.
Improved by an order of magnitude or something like that.
Therefore, for this target practice, I simply modified the program of the missile. When it is ten kilometers away from the target, it climbs up and then dives down. In this way, when it falls, it is about five kilometers away from the target, and the speed must have increased to 3
Mach!
On the Onaizai, Kayani continued to issue orders calmly: "Attention, prepare Red Flag 10 missiles and 1130 close-in defense guns for the final interception!"
Four missiles will be intercepted by four different anti-aircraft weapons. This is a perfect exercise!
The Asans didn’t know, they just watched the two missiles climb up, and immediately realized: cheating, this is cheating! When analyzed afterwards, these must be added to let the whole world know about the Aegis battleship of the Orientals.
The old man!
However, the missile has already climbed up, why hasn't the interceptor been launched yet?
"The missile has passed its peak!"
"The missile continues to accelerate!"
"The missile reached its maximum speed and began to dive!"
"Mach 2.5!"
"Mach 2.8!"
"Mach 3!"
"The missile returns to its cruising altitude of seven meters!"
As the data were reported one by one, the faces of the Asans slowly became gloomy.
The opponent's climb and then dive is not to cheat, but to increase the speed of this missile to Mach 3! How should they promote it next? Their BrahMos is blowing Mach 3, but in fact it can only fly
To Mach 2.8, if the Easterners can shoot down the Sunburn missiles that accelerate to Mach 3, that means they can also easily intercept their BrahMos missiles!
No one spoke, they all opened their eyes wide and looked at the screen.
"Two missiles started to perform S maneuver!"
Missiles flying in a straight line are the easiest to intercept. When the missile starts to turn in the air, the amount of calculation required for interception will greatly increase. Supersonic missiles are designed to intercept. If combined with S maneuver, they will draw snakes on the sea.
, then it will be more difficult to intercept!
Generally speaking, it is believed that no interception weapon can intercept supersonic missiles combined with S maneuver. It is too difficult!
Now, the Jubail class is about to challenge!
"Red Flag Ten Launch!"
Above the hangar at the stern of the ship, the launcher of the Hongqi-10 missile had already turned to the direction of the Sunburn missile, waiting for the last moment to arrive. After receiving the launch order, it acted immediately.
Whizzing!
The slender missile flew out. Compared with the Red Flag Nine and the Red Flag Sixteen, the Red Flag Ten missile was the little brother. Its length was only about two meters and its diameter was only 0.12 meters. Even short-range air-to-air missiles were
Bigger than that.
However, if you think that you have no fighting ability at a young age, you are totally wrong. The interception ability of Red Flag Ten is quite incredible!
This kind of missile is small in size, so it can be equipped in large quantities. The lightweight 056 can be equipped with an eight-unit launcher. Destroyers are generally equipped with a 24-unit launcher. 24 missiles can be stuffed in at one time, even if
It is a two-volley fire, which can also deal with 12 targets at the same time. What it wants to intercept is just the fish that have broken through the defense lines of Red Flag Nine and Red Flag Sixteen. A few missiles are enough. With so many prepared bombs, it is more than enough.
In addition to its large number, what is more important is its ability to launch and forget.
The seeker of this missile uses a combination of infrared imaging and active radar. No matter which one, it means that this missile has the ability to be fired and left alone.
As long as it is launched, the missile can fly to the target by itself without any guidance from the rear. This has a considerable advantage in resisting saturation attacks!
Hongqi-10 missile, the world’s most advanced short-range interception weapon!
After the slender missile flew out, it began to rotate around the missile body while flying forward.
Spin stabilization is very common in aircraft. The spin of the Hongqi-10 missile is not only to make the flight of the missile more stable, but also to reduce the difficulty of controlling the missile.
After all, the diameter of the projectile is so small that only one servo can be arranged inside the missile. How can one control the missile to maneuver in a three-dimensional space with one servo? And it also needs to be highly maneuverable?
The answer is to make the missile roll. As long as the rudder is operated at different times, it can fly in different directions. One rudder solves all problems, but the requirements for the flight control system are very high. Without advanced electronic systems, it is simply impossible.
Such advanced missiles cannot be developed!
Lao Maozi doesn't have it, France doesn't have it, and the Davids don't have it, so it's impossible for Asan's warship to have this kind of missile.
The United States has something similar, but it is impossible to sell it to Asan. All its allies sell it selectively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although it is small, the technology is very advanced and can destroy missiles more than one meter above the sea surface!
After flying out, the seeker of the Hongqi-10 missile was aimed at the target and automatically switched to the infrared imaging seeker according to the specific situation.
Even if it is a subsonic anti-ship missile, the flames ejected from the tail can give it the most reliable guidance, not to mention the supersonic target of the Sunburn anti-ship missile. At Mach 3, the temperature of the missile warhead is as high as 350 degrees Celsius.
above!
It clearly appears in the infrared imaging seeker of the Hongqi-10 missile. The missile-borne computer runs at high speed, calculates the control instructions, and sends them to the steering gear to drive the missile to maneuver.
The trajectory of the missile is also constantly adjusted according to the target's S maneuver. This shows that its flight method is more similar to a semi-active radar missile, always flying with the target. This is quite a waste of energy. However, the Hongqi-10 missile has a very thin diameter.
, the air resistance is very small, and its solid rocket motor has advanced performance and is always burning, providing a steady stream of energy.
As a missile with a maximum range of ten kilometers, now it can attack targets within five kilometers without having to worry about insufficient thrust. The entire range is within the power range!
The missile is compact, has small motion inertia, and is very maneuverable. In the power range stage, the overload can reach up to fifty G! Even in the inertial flight stage, the overload can reach twenty G.
At this time, although the speed of the flying anti-ship missile was as high as Mach 3, its huge size limited its maneuverability. Although it was drawing a snake on the sea, in the eyes of the Hongqi 10 missile, it was slow.
Swallowed!
The infrared imaging seeker of the Hongqi-10 missile firmly captures the target. The internal missile-borne computer performs high-speed calculations and continuously transmits control instructions to the steering gear. The distance between the missile and the target is getting closer and closer.
, and then hit the missile hard!
That's right, just hit it!
The Hongqi-10 missile is too small. If it simply detonates the warhead, it will be like scratching the itch of the Rizhi anti-ship missile. It is impossible to blow up the Rizhi missile, so it can be intercepted.
, and it makes no sense.
However, if it hits directly, the situation will be different.
Boom!
The speed of the Hongqi-10 missile was Mach 3, and the speed of the Sunburn missile was Mach 3. The relative speed of the two sides was Mach 6. When the impact occurred, the Sunburn missile's body made a buzzing sound, and then began to deform.
boom!
The warhead of the Hongqi 10 missile detonated, continuing to increase the killing effect. The Sunburn missile became extremely fragile in front of this light missile, and the missile body exploded directly in the air!
The entire engine of the Sunburn missile was still intact at this time. The next second, it was hit by the second Hongqi-10 missile! The next second, the engine also disintegrated.
The third Sunburn missile was intercepted! And this missile performed a snake-like maneuver after increasing to a speed of Mach 3, and was intercepted by the missile in the process! Being able to intercept this missile means that the Aegis battleship
The air defense net is airtight and there are no leaks!
The BrahMos anti-ship missile, the world's most advanced anti-ship missile, is a joke in front of an Aegis battleship!
The Ah Sans were completely depressed.
This exercise was originally meant to slap them in the face. They originally had expectations and wanted to observe the whole process, and then watch the interception fail and then make a fuss about it, but now, the entire interception process is impeccable!
It is impossible for them to express any more opinions. They need to keep a low profile so as not to create heat for Eastern Arms. Moreover, they also need to hold a meeting to determine their future strategy.
If BrahMos missiles cannot attack Aegis battleships, what advanced weapons should they develop next? Anti-ship ballistic missiles?
At this moment, it seems that Ah San and the others have forgotten that there is still one last anti-ship missile. How should we deal with that missile?
Of course with 1130 guns!
In fact, the 1130 gun fired not much later than the Red Flag Ten.
"Attention, calculate the interception trajectory!"
If it's a laser weapon, just aim and fire. If it's a missile, it can still turn after it flies out. However, when the artillery shell is launched, it will fly inertially and cannot aim at the current target position. You need to calculate where the target will move after the artillery shell passes.
Place, carefully create an encounter!
This is more difficult. The most important thing is that it relies on the calculation and analysis of the fire control system, which can even be said to be intelligent analysis.
The incoming missile is performing a snake-like maneuver. This is not traceable. There must be a fixed pattern. Therefore, as long as its flight pattern can be found, its next position can be calculated.
