Chapter 1052: Electronic Leopard

In this era, electronic warfare has not yet been paid special attention. If the battle examples that can be obtained, it depends on next year's air combat in the Bekaa Valley.
David’s air force is deeply threatened by the Sam-6 missiles. It suffered a lot of losses in the last war. This time it fights again and is ready to use electronic jamming and false targets to successfully deceive. The other party’s radar was turned on in advance, crippling their radars.
Now, the Air Force has not let go of its vision, but Qin Guan knows that it can no longer be delayed.
"From the perspective of the world, the Eagle Nation and the Bear Nation attach great importance to the equipment of electronic warfare. Although it has not yet been reflected, in the future, if you cannot win electronic warfare, you will not be able to obtain air supremacy." Qin Guan began to introduce. : "The party with electromagnetic power can use electromagnetic interference to make the opponent's radar blind, and make the opponent's fighter planes and missiles inoperable, so that the attack can be carried out calmly."
"For example, the Eagle Nation Navy has long possessed an EA-6B electronic jammer. Every time in a battle, the electronic jammer will accompany the attacking forces to interfere with the interception of the opponent. For another example, the Eagle Nation has a large number of anti-radiation missiles. , The radar equipment dedicated to combat the enemy."
These words of Qin Guan were specifically explaining the idea of ​​the electronic leopard he wanted to engage in.
Electromagnetic interference, this is the first method of electronic warfare.
"Some time ago, I went to Silver Country to promote our fighter and missile combination. At that time, under complicated electromagnetic interference, the Flying Fish missile of Ji Country missed the target. It can be seen that it is possible to use simple electronic countermeasures. Will avoid terrible missile attacks." Qin Guan continued to give examples.
The senior officials of the Air Force also knew about Qin Guan's sales this time. Now that Qin Guan said that, everyone's heart is also paying attention to it. Yes, electronic warfare will become more and more important.
Not to mention, in the past few years, the relationship between Xiong and his side was tense. As long as Xiong flew an electronic jammer together, communications on his own border were interrupted. This kind of thing happened more than once.
"However, why did we choose Flying Leopard? If it is the sixth or the eighth game, wouldn't it be better not to say?" someone asked.
It is still the issue of carrier aircraft. Some foreign electronic jammers use the platform of transport aircraft, so they are more equipped.
"Yes, in the future we will definitely develop electronic warplanes on the basis of the Yun-8, but now, if we have to choose first, the Flying Leopard is more suitable." Qin Guan said: "The Flying Leopard bomber has a long range and a heavy load. The load capacity is similar to that of the H6. In this way, it has sufficient potential. At the same time, it is a fighter-bomber. This means that it can be formed with the assault troops during combat. This is not the case with the H6 and Y8. Comparable."
What Qin Guan said was correct.
There are two uses of electronic warplanes. One is in peacetime, which is used to collect various data. Such electronic warplanes can use the transport aircraft platform. For example, the most famous EP-3 in later generations is such a platform.
The other is to charge with Air Force fighters during a battle. Such fighters must be able to accompany the formation. Therefore, the Flying Leopard has a large body and supersonic flight capability. It can even be able to fly at critical times. It is of course the best to bring a short-range missile to protect yourself.
Both types of aircraft are needed. In terms of priority, of course, the first consideration is to be able to accompany the troops in combat.
In the past, the Air Force was not capable. For aircraft such as the F-7 and F-8, the load capacity was too small. Only four missiles were mounted, and the electronic jamming equipment could not be mounted at all.
This kind of aircraft is the same as the electronic warplane modified by the later Eagles on the F-18 aircraft.
After Qin Guan said this, everyone nodded. In the past few years, the domestic electronics industry has developed by leaps and bounds. If it had been in the past, I would never have thought of it.
However, even so, it is not easy. After all, these devices have never been developed in China.
"Mr. Qin, we are blank in terms of electronic warfare. It's not easy." Someone said.
"Yes, if we study it by ourselves, it will definitely not be easy, but I have a quick way here." Qin Guan said: "We can buy mature electronic jamming pods from abroad. After we buy them, we will dismantle them ourselves. It’s easier to start research and then imitate."
How to modify electronic warplanes? Just look at EA-6B. The modification on the mature airframe is mainly to add electronic jamming pods under the wings. The plug-in points were originally used for missiles, but now they can be used to hang jamming pods. Two, four in total, and the upper end of the vertical tail of the plane is remodeled to create the electronic leopard. As for the certain country Qin Guan said, it is of course the kingdom of peace.
The Nation of Peace, the Eagle Nation of Yishui, is equipped. Although they do not have special electronic jammers, they do have jamming pods. This provides an excuse. As for the real situation, of course, they exchanged one from the weapons cemetery. EA-6B came over and studied the above electronic interference technology.
Electronic warfare is related to the victory of future wars, and we must start from now on to catch up and surpass.
"Our electronic leopard takes two steps. The first step is to develop a flying leopard electronic warfare-type electronic jamming pod." Qin Guan said: "We want to engage in full-frequency, large-blocking electronic interference. If possible, advanced technology must be used."
In later military novels, it is quite irritating to mention full frequency band and big blockage, but this method is not common in practice. The energy required for this is astronomical, and it is definitely not what ordinary electronic warfare machines can do. .
"Our electronic jamming pod can work autonomously in a mode independent of the carrier aircraft. It only needs to obtain electrical energy from the carrier aircraft to complete the corresponding tasks. It can also interact with the carrier aircraft electronic warfare equipment, such as missile warning devices and target information data link systems. Joint work. It can collect enemy electromagnetic signals, automatically implement calculation processing and interference deception. It can be reprogrammed, has the characteristics of modularization, and can quickly replace components or repair and replace. In combat, it can use a simple suppression mode Interference can also be implemented in response to deceptive confrontation."
It is the easiest way to interfere with the electromagnetic wave launching device directly, but at the same time the efficiency is the lowest. It must be able to collect the electromagnetic signal of the other party and interfere for tat. This is the most efficient.
Everyone nodded.
"We expect to take one year to realize this capability." Qin Guan said: "As long as the Air Force has the confidence to develop, don't delay the progress. At the same time, in the future, our aircraft's electronic warfare system will be more advanced."
The pod needs to use the aircraft's own power, which is always limited, so the future must be a large pod with its own turbine generator equipment to obtain more powerful electromagnetic emission power and improve electronic warfare capabilities.
At the same time, a large number of anti-radiation missiles must be developed. This will not only suppress electromagnetic interference, but also damage the opponent's hardware at critical times.
The development of missiles is quite complicated.
