Chapter 783: The re-proposition of artillery-launched missiles
With the influence of the universal theory of missiles back then, the Soviet Union first proposed the concept of the first generation of tank gun-launched missiles in 1957. The United States began to develop tank gun-launched missiles in 1958; after entering the 1960s, it already had its first product.
.
For example, the Soviet Union had the Ruby tank gun-fired missile. France had the Accra missile, and the US military equipped the MGM-51A Oak Stick missile on the M551 Sheridan tank.
These seem to indicate that the prospect of gun-launched missiles is becoming brighter, but in fact, this is not the case. After entering the 1980s, the gun-launched missiles gradually declined. Except for the Soviets who were still working on them, even the Americans
All gave up, and there was nothing else except the oak stick.
Why?
There are many reasons.
"In terms of our current strength, we have only developed the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile, which uses manual control. It is very difficult to study gun-fired missiles. Especially, it has to be fired from the barrel and endured
Overload is difficult to solve." Sure enough, just after Mr. Zhu brought up this plan, someone expressed his questions.
This question is certain, not to find fault, but to be real.
The technical requirements for this kind of gunfire missile are very high, and the first thing is how to guide it.
The Red Arrow 73 is manually controlled. When the missile flew out, two wires were dragged at the tail, so a special wire releaser was needed. In the barrel, this thing is definitely not useful.
If this kind of control is not used, radio control must be used. The early Soviet gun-fired missiles were used for radio control, but in this way, they would be easily disturbed on a complex battlefield.
On the other hand, it is the overload that the missile has to bear when it is launched. The missile is launched independently and pushes the missile forward by ignition by the engine. This acceleration will not be particularly fast. However, if it is in the gun barrel, the missile will be velocity from the speed of the
Zero, the acceleration has reached a few hundred meters per second, which is too powerful.
I know the feeling of pushing the back after sitting in a sports car. If it is in the barrel, it will not be just pushing the back. It will directly press people into meat pies at this acceleration. Nowadays, gunfire missiles have to withstand this kind of resistance.
The large acceleration also poses great challenges to the electronic system inside.
In short, it is very difficult.
"Yes, it's very difficult, but we also need to see the prospects for the use of this weapon." Zhu Lao said: "First of all, it can increase the range. Our tank guns, limited by the fire control system, are within two thousand
It is already very good to hit the target outside the meter, and gunfire missiles can expand this distance to three thousand meters, four thousand meters, or even further. At this distance, we can gain the ability to fire first."
When a gun-fired missile is fired, it is fired by the gun barrel, and then its own engine is ignited, so the range of the tank is greatly increased, which can increase the range of the tank!
"Secondly, it is accuracy. The longer the distance of our shells, the worse the accuracy. The gun-fired missiles will not be affected by this. They can also attack accurately within a long distance."
"Bomb-fired missiles have many targets to deal with, not only can they deal with enemy ground targets, but also can deal with armed helicopters in the air." Veteran Zhu listed all kinds of advantages.
"As for technology, we must be a little higher and carry out laser beam guidance. These technologies will take time. After the breakthrough, they will not only be used on our gunfire missiles, but also on other anti-tank missiles.
After all, our own anti-tank missile technology also needs improvement.”
"That's right." President Wang Liming stood up. As a person who developed the Red Arrow 73 anti-tank missile, he knew very well that this anti-tank missile just solved the problem of whether there is or not, and was simply not enough to achieve the world's advanced level.
Levels must be improved and continuously improved.
"Our design team is willing to accept this task and continue to improve our missile technology." Wang Liming made a statement here.
The Red Arrow 73 has been completed, and the next Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile has entered the final stage of finalization. It has passed the existence or not and then realized technological progress. This is all planned, and they are also looking forward to being able to
When studying various new technologies, laser guidance is one of them! Wang Liming is also very interested in the challenging task of launching missiles.
The 122 tank was planned to fight the Red Arrow 73 missile, but it was only given up due to technical problems. Now, there is finally a new project, so I must take it down!
The laser beam guidance solution is quite advanced. Your side fires a beam of laser and aims at the opponent's target. Then, fires the shell. After the shell flies out, it will fly along the laser, just like riding on this beam of laser.
, So, this is also called laser beam guidance.
Under this guidance method, the shooter does not need to do any other moves. Just ensure that he aims at the target. The missile can ride on the laser and fly to the target. No matter what maneuver, acceleration, braking, steering, etc., it will be done.
Can hit the target!
This principle is very advanced and difficult to implement. However, the Capital Institute of Technology has this ability! As a university under the department, of course, it has to carry out these scientific research projects for the army.
Besides, they still have quite an advantage in optical performance.
If you want to launch a missile, you must have this kind of guidance method. The challenge is great and the task is arduous. However, it is precisely because of this that it has the meaning of doing it, and strive to catch up and surpass it!
"This project can be pre-researched first. After that, our funds will be more abundant and we can be transferred to normal development." Mr. He said.
This project requires a lot of money, so you should not start immediately after being excited. You must have a safe plan.
"Yes, and we also plan to purchase this weapon system from abroad," said Mr. Zhu.
It is not easy to start research and development from scratch. After all, I have never dabbled in it before. If I can bring in a few sets from abroad, it will undoubtedly have a great promotion effect. After all, what I am best at is surveying, mapping and imitation.
In fact, when our side introduced the T-72 tank, this tank should have been equipped with gunfire missiles. Unfortunately, it is said that only the Soviet army has this thing.
When choosing a 125mm tank gun as the standard, I actually discussed the issue of gunfire missiles. It was just a discussion at that time, but now it is the real decision.
We want to do it! Our tank guns must have weapons with a longer range! As a sub-system, we can enter the pre-research stage!
