"Dongdongdongdongdong." There was a knock on the door outside.
Hearing this voice, Qin Zhenhua was a little curious. Generally speaking, if someone came, there would be an appointment in advance. If there were no appointments, it was just a few familiar people. He could come here directly without knocking on the door.
Who is outside?
However, Nie Qianqian had already reacted, stood up, ran to the door in a few steps, and then went to open the door and saw a familiar person standing outside.
"Sister-in-law, you are here." Nie Qianqian said to the person outside.
The person outside was Qin Zhenhua's wife Wang Xiaoyu. Over the years, she had not left any traces on her face. She still looked very young, while Qin Zhenhua had countless wrinkles on her face.
Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Didn't you bother you?"
"Sister-in-law, wouldn't you make me shy when you say this?" Nie Qianqian said: "How can you disturb me when you come here? I won't be a light bulb, I'll say goodbye first."
After saying that, Nie Qianqian was about to leave.
"No need to leave, this is the office, and we are talking about business." Wang Xiaoyu said: "I came this time for our VT-5 foreign trade tank."
After hearing Wang Xiaoyu say this, Qin Zhenhua was also very curious: "Are you interested in this tank?"
"Yes." Wang Xiaoyu said: "There are still some things missing on this tank. Our university happens to have research on this area, so we plan to put our scientific research results on this tank."
"Okay, what you have developed is definitely high-end." Qin Zhenhua said: "Let me guess, at present, our tank's fire control system is already perfect, and there is no need to worry about anything, so, it must be
It's not a fire control system, but it has something to do with the optical system and has practical value. I think it should be a remote control weapon station, right?"
After hearing Qin Zhenhua say this, Wang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. Yes, it's a remote-controlled weapon station."
For a long time, domestic tanks and turrets were equipped with a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. This anti-aircraft machine gun can no longer be used to attack aircraft, because the tanks cannot fight against the aircraft at all. If you encounter it,
If you want to use anti-aircraft machine guns to deal with it, it would be like a submarine from World War II planning to float up and use anti-submarine guns to deal with anti-submarine aircraft.
What can deal with aircraft is the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns or the integrated ammunition system that is accompanied by the tank troops. It is definitely not the tank itself. When the third generation of tanks were just developed, some people proposed a plan to mount air defense missiles outside the turret.
, also considered a burden. Tanks are the kings of the ground, they fight on land, and they have specialized in their professions.
This 12.7mm machine gun is actually mainly used to deal with targets on the ground. When it is found that the enemy's infantry rushed up in a scattered line, the tank gun is not easy to use, so you can use this machine gun. However,
Since the body needs to be exposed when operating a machine gun, tank hands can easily become live targets.
Other countries in the world have also realized this problem very early, so many tanks have been changed to remote-controlled weapon stations. The machine gun on the top of the turret does not require human operation and can be remotely controlled within the turret.
Shooting is safer.
However, domestic military-industrial enterprises have not done this. Until now, they have been using 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns. They have been using them for decades and have not changed much. This is also determined by the combat missions of the domestic military.
The main task of the army is to protect the security of the motherland. The main combat field of the army is on the endless plains, where the army's tanks actually do not require much weapons from outside. They are all bombarded by cannons and shot one shot. Even if the tank is not penetrated and the explosion fragments are dispersed, it is estimated that the remote-controlled weapon station can be destroyed. Therefore, this remote-controlled weapon station has no meaning. If it is fighting in the city, then the remote-controlled weapon station, It has a great effect. This remote-controlled weapon station can allow tankers to hide safely inside the tank's armor and launch attacks on suspicious targets at any time.
Therefore, the Army does not have an urgent need for such remote-controlled weapons stations, but foreign trade weapons are different. Foreign trade military equipment must show its high profile. In this way, it can win the welcome of customers. It's definitely a bonus point if you have a type of equipment.
The remote-controlled weapon station doesn't look big, but it integrates a lot of things inside, such as optical sights, thermal imaging night vision systems, laser rangefinders, stability systems, etc.
During the day, use optical aiming, and at night, use thermal imaging system. This thermal imaging system alone will increase the cost. In order to accurately hit, a laser rangefinder must be used, and in order to be able to move in Fire in the middle must have a stable system, so it is not easy to create a small remote-controlled weapon station, it is almost a simple tank fire control system!
And these are just Wang Xiaoyu's strengths. The fire control system of the third-generation tank was developed by her, so now, she is very good at these things. It is quite easy to develop a remote control weapon station.
"That's great. With this kind of thing, our VT-5 tank will have more high-tech equipment, and it will be easier for us to promote it." Nie Qianqian said: "Now, the concept of remote control weapon station is very good. It’s hot, not just tanks, but also our infantry fighting vehicles. I just don’t know what kind of weapon is the remote-controlled weapon station?”
"There are two types of choices, one is a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and the other is a 35mm grenade launcher." Wang Xiaoyu introduced: "In the working mode, it can be manual or semi-automatic mode, in the future, Fully automatic mode can also be implemented.”
Manual mode is easy to understand. This weapon is equivalent to using a periscope to move the field of vision into the tank turret. The operator also needs to aim and shoot manually. Semi-automatic mode is so high-end, just assign it to the system. The system can aim at the target by itself and then fire.
As for the fully automatic mode, it will be a weapon change. This remote-controlled weapon station no longer requires the shooter to control it. It can find the target by itself, aim by itself, and then determine whether to fire by itself.
Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's words, Qin Zhenhua frowned: "Full automatic mode?"
