Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth technical details
"At long distance, we must exert the power of gun-fired missiles. Within the range of guns, if we want to increase the power of our tank guns, in addition to continuing to develop tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs, we must also develop more advanced depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs.
"Old Zhu said: "In this regard, we need to increase our investment."
In fact, research on depleted uranium materials has been started in China, but it has not achieved much good results until now. In contrast, Americans have begun to build depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs.
For armor-piercing bullets, the most important thing is the piercing rod. The thin and long piercing rod can effectively improve the piercing depth. However, this method of lifting has its limits. Materials determine everything. There is no qualified material.
There will be no advanced performance improvement.
Depleted uranium alloy is simply the best material for making armor-piercing bombs. A simple self-acute effect is enough to make countless tank designers happy.
However, the research and development of materials is not easy, it requires long-term accumulation and investment.
"Next, let's talk about protection. In addition to compound armor and explosion reaction armor, we have another new solution, which is to actively suppress."
This concept was proposed by Mr. Zhu at a meeting of this level for the first time, but related research has begun, and one of the main technicians is Wang Xiaoyu!
"Active suppression?" asked Mr. He: "What is that? It's not a plan to use missiles to intercept shells, right?"
In terms of how to improve the protection of tanks, there are conventional plans and whimsical plans.
Composite armor is a conventional solution, finding various hard metals, non-metal synthetic materials, etc., to increase protection capabilities in this way.
What about the explosion reaction armor? It is your idea of hitting me and I blowing you. When the shells fly over, then take the initiative to detonate yourself and blow the other party up. This idea has been considered a fantasy for a long time.
But what? Later, in the 1982 war, the explosion reaction armor appeared and withstood the test!
In this way, the concept of explosion reaction armor has been accepted by everyone, and now, there are more radical ideas.
When installing some missiles on a tank, the range is not too far. More than ten meters or dozens of meters is enough. This can be very small. In addition, radar and other things, once the shells fly over, the missiles fly over and intercept them!
It is the same as the interception of air defense missiles.
However, the technology required is still very advanced, far exceeding the development of electronic technology in this era.
Now, Mr. Zhu proposed a suppression system, and Mr. He suddenly thought of this. In this way, his WZ123 project became increasingly large.
"No, no." Zhu Lao said: "We are taking another plan, or it can be said that it has our own unique plan."
Mr. Zhu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, if you want to hit the enemy on the tank, one of the components is necessary and very important, which is the laser rangefinder."
If you want to hit the enemy, you must have various data. The target position is the most important one. The distance between the target and oneself must be accurate. The previous method of visual calculation is no longer suitable. Now, it has begun.
A laser rangefinder is used.
Explore a beam of laser light, illuminate it on the opponent's tank and reflect it back. Multiply this time by the speed of light divided by two, and you will know the distance.
This is the same solution for measuring ranges when launching missiles in the early stages.
Now, Mr. Zhu talks about laser rangefinders, and no one knows what he wants to say.
Only the Yimai Factory understands it.
"Our tank can have a system that senses the laser beam coming from the opposite side, and measures its direction, and then emits a laser beam with greater energy to the other party, so that the other party's laser measurement can be suppressed
The distance device makes the opponent unable to get an accurate distance and will not be able to attack us." Zhu Lao said: "In this way, we have a greater chance of survival. This system can be called a laser suppression system."
In this era, if we mention informationization and electromagnetic confrontation, it will definitely be confusing. Many armored soldiers use the old way to aim at the target and fire with visual means. They are unwilling to use advanced equipment if they have advanced equipment.
Speaking of this, many people are confused.
"I haven't heard of this system."
"Yes, this is what we thought of ourselves, and it is our own special system. In the future, it can not only be used on tanks, but also on other vehicles to increase the survivability of the chariot on the battlefield. I suggest
Use this system as a supporting project for the third generation of tanks.”
"But, do we have this ability? It sounds very mysterious." Someone continued to ask.
"This, please introduce it to us by Professor Cao." Mr. Zhu said.
This project was done by Wang Xiaoyu, but Wang Xiaoyu is not qualified to attend such a meeting. Instead, her mentor Cao Jianli was in the conference room. She participated as an expert in the fire control system. The fire control system is mainly an optical system.
Laser pressing systems also fall into the category of optical.
Cao Jianli stood up and began to introduce him.
The afternoon meeting was spent in this specific technical discussion. It was late at night, and many technologies were refined, and the outline of the future tanks could be seen more clearly.
The country's overall technology is relatively weak. If you want to realize a three-generation tank that crosses the ages on this basis, you must go your own way.
We must have our own new technology and occupy the commanding heights of the technology. At the same time, we must pay attention to matching optimization and systematic functional optimization!
The development concept slowly surfaced: overall optimization, functional coverage, and system victory!
In actual research and development, we pursue a model of technological spiral and virtuous cycle in efficiency. On a limited industrial basis, we can achieve optimal performance design of tanks through high integration and optimization of matching system functions and other means.
The research and development of domestic third-generation tanks has officially begun.
Although this conference did not say what to do if the R&D failed, this retreat had already been decided. Just after the third-generation tanks began to enter R&D, the domestic second-generation tank technology must continue to develop and improve.
, In case the third generation tank really can't be defeated, the second generation tank can gradually transition to the level of the third generation!
