"Electromagnetic armor, as long as you hear this name, you can know the principle of this armor, that is, use electromagnetic energy to weaken the incoming anti-armor weapons. Just like the composite armor that is widely used now, it actually uses the armor.
Each interlayer, whether soft or hard, uses these things to weaken the incoming anti-armor weapons, use friction energy, use fiber power, etc. Of course, I say this, it seems that everyone doesn't understand.
, then I'll talk about it specifically.”
Of course, everyone couldn't understand what he said. He said a lot of nonsense, theoretical things were unfathomable, and who could know, or just tell the specific things in reality.
"Electromagnetic armor is mainly divided into two types, one is passive electromagnetic armor. Its armor is divided into two layers. At the back of each layer, there are high-power capacitors to provide sufficient energy. When an armor-piercing bomb or jet strikes, it is striking.
When the insulating layer between the armor is worn, the capacitor will be discharged, pushing the coil inside to generate a strong magnetic field. In this way, under the action of the magnetic field, it can destroy or interfere with the incoming armor-piercing bombs or jets, thereby achieving the protection target.
So, do you understand?"
After hearing Liu Wei's words, everyone nodded. This thing sounds unfathomable. In fact, it uses the energy of the magnetic field to block the entry of armor-piercing weapons. As for the specific principle, everyone must not know it, it just sounds like
It just feels tall and outstanding.
"Many colleagues are studying this kind of electromagnetic armor, but this technology is very challenging, so so far, it is still difficult for this kind of armor to enter the practical field. Electromagnetic guns will be
In the past one or two years, however, the development progress of this kind of armor is much slower. Conservatively estimated, it will take about twenty years. However, after its development is successful, it will definitely become the most suitable armor for tanks. Others
Armor will be abandoned."
Qin Zhenhua nodded. Although Liu Wei was very good at talking about his high-end technology, he did not do anything about it. His thinking was still very clear. The electromagnetic cannon could already see the dawn.
However, this electromagnetic armor still needs a long wait.
"What about the other one?"
"As for the other type, it is active electromagnetic armor." Liu Wei continued: "There are a large number of electromagnetic coils distributed on this type of armor, and the coils are used to induce the approach of anti-tank weapons. When these weapons are approaching, it will happen.
In this way, the electromagnetic armor will react quickly. For example, there can be explosives inside to create explosive shock waves to destroy the opponent's armor-piercing weapon, or in other words, it can directly explode and fly the prefabricated throwing board and destroy it by throwing boards.
Incoming anti-tank weapons.”
When he explained this, the people present immediately realized: "Isn't this an active defense system?"
The active defense system of tanks is also the most popular concept in various countries at present. This weapon has radar or optoelectronic equipment, which can detect the target approaching, and then detonate explosives to interfere with the work of anti-tank weapons when needed, especially for the old
The Russians have studied the most and have already deployed many systems on tanks.
These systems are also being studied in China. The electromagnetic armor proposed by Liu Wei now seems to be similar to these active protection systems.
Hearing this question, Liu Wei shook his head: "Of course it's different. Our active defense system relies on a special component to detect the target's approach, while our electromagnetic armor relies on the armor's own detection, so that the detection can be made.
More precise.”
Simply put, this is equivalent to a large number of sensors densely arranged on the armor. Through these sensors, we can sense the approach of the target. We not only know the target is about to fly over, but also accurately sense where the target is about to hit.
.
"What's the benefit of this?"
"There are many benefits. We can detonate explosives in time, and we can detonate at the most appropriate time. In this way, we can not only deal with metal jets, but also deal with hard core armor-piercing bombs."
In the early era of steel armor, the protection of tanks was just expressed directly by the thickness of the armor. However, in the era of composite armor, it would be inappropriate to express this expression, but the concept of equivalent protection was used.
If you look closely, you will find that the performance indicators of any armor have different abilities in terms of wear and tear resistance.
When dealing with armor-piercing bombs, the equivalent protection force may be five or six hundred, but when dealing with armor-piercing bombs, the equivalent protection force can be over thousands. Why is this?
Of course, there are two different interception ideas. Armor piercing bombs use metal jets, so the explosion reaction armor can easily change the direction of the metal jets, thereby reducing the probability of breaking through the armor. However, armor piercing bombs are different. Armor piercing bombs.
It is a hard core warhead, and it uses a head-on method. This method is difficult to intercept.
The early explosion reaction armor did not have the ability to intercept armor-piercing bombs at all. In the later stage, it used a multi-layer combination of the back plate to block the back plate, and had the ability to intercept armor-piercing bombs, but the effect was far inferior to that of armor-piercing bombs.
.
Now, this electromagnetic armor is different. It is not like the explosion reaction armor. It must be hit to explode. This electromagnetic armor can feel the target flying over and detonate at the most appropriate time. The explosion shock wave and fragments are directly
If the armor-piercing projectile core is hit head-on, even if the armor-piercing projectile is not lifted away, just by changing the flight direction of the armor-piercing projectile, the damage effect of the armor-piercing projectile can be greatly reduced.
Liu Wei carefully explained the difference between this kind of active electromagnetic armor and explosion reaction armor and active defense system. Its control will be more accurate and the detonation will be more exquisite, thus achieving the common need of anti-passing and anti-breaking.
After hearing these introductions, everyone present thought seriously. I have to say that this proposal is still very convincing. If these statements are followed, it can really increase the tank's protection power to a higher level.
"How long will it take to develop this kind of armor?" someone asked.
If it is as far away as the development of passive electromagnetic armor, it will be of no value and must be developed as soon as possible, so that it will be meaningful.
"If we had started the research now, it might take two or three years to produce results." Liu Wei said: "After all, all kinds of hardware are already available, and the important thing is data and algorithms."
