Chapter 2314: Extra-atmospheric interception

Now, intercepting ordinary aircraft is nothing to Han.
A large number of fighter planes are enough to take off in the first time and arrange a defensive airspace several hundred kilometers forward. It is not easy for the opponent's plane to break in. Then, if there is a penetrating plane, you have to face Han The country’s various anti-aircraft firepower strikes, even if it is to the nearest place, there are still rapid-fire guns waiting, the distance, middle and near, can be described as three-dimensional.
However, in dealing with ballistic missiles, there is still a blank. If the opponent fires a ballistic missile, it will not have any defensive capabilities at all.
The bear country first deployed an anti-missile system, code-named rubber sleeve, and installed it near the capital of the bear country. However, this system uses a nuclear warhead and uses this violent method to intercept it. The capital of the country is also a kind of injury, and the nuclear radiation will stay above the capital of the bear country.
This is also because the bear country’s ability cannot do it. A nuclear bomb only needs to be close to a few hundred meters, which is very safe. Even an error of thousands of meters is enough to detonate the opponent’s warhead. If an ordinary warhead is used, it needs It is only possible to get close to the order of meters, and even if it needs to be destroyed by impact, it will reduce the error to the order of centimeters.
In the 1960s, where was this ability.
And now, the hardware of this technology has gradually been available. It has an advanced phased array radar system, a high-speed computer system, and a technical reserve of surface-to-air missiles. Now, it depends on the long-term view. Up.
"In the first step, we need to continue to improve the performance of the missiles of this air defense system." Qin Guan said: "The range needs to reach 400 kilometers, and the firing height is further expanded, so that we have the ability to intercept medium-range ballistic missiles."
To improve the capabilities of air defense systems, we must first improve the performance of air defense missiles. They must have a longer range and firing height so that they can intercept the target outside the atmosphere. For this reason, even if you continue to increase the missile body, you can Yes, look at Xiong Country’s S300V, which is this thick and long beast.
"The second is to design an updated warhead." Qin Guan said: "If you want to improve the interception ability, you must improve the warhead."
The current air defense missiles use radar guidance. Radar is used to illuminate the target. The target emits electromagnetic waves to reach the seeker of the missile and guide the missile to hit the target. This is such a process. At present, this method is considered the best. It is mature, but if it is used to deal with ballistic missiles, especially medium-range ballistic missiles, it is still not enough. As the distance increases, its accuracy will also decrease. For an attack in space, it is enough to fail. It's a thousand miles away. Qin Guan said that it is understandable to further increase the volume and increase the range, but if you change to a newer warhead, this is a new concept.
Qin Guan knew that everyone had questions, so he explained: "Specifically, outside the atmosphere, our traditional rudder surface has failed. Therefore, we must use warheads with orbital maneuverability. The warhead does not have to be particularly large in mass, nor does it need to be equipped with any explosives, any metal fragments to kill, we use its powerful kinetic energy to directly hit and kill!"
This is very different from today’s missiles. A 500 kg missile may have a warhead of 100 kg. This is not only a high explosive, but also a circle of iron rods or metal fragments. When it explodes, these metals will spread into a mass. As long as an enemy plane or missile hits any metal fragment, the missile will be destroyed.
Of course, this method can also be used outside the atmosphere, but this method is too cumbersome. As the speed of the target increases, the area they need to spread will be larger. In this way, the warhead also needs to be larger and launch. At that time, the fuel will be more, forming an endless loop.
What if you use a lighter warhead? Even if it is only equipped on an air defense missile with a range of 200 kilometers, after the warhead is lightened, the range will rise rapidly. After all, the warhead is its only effective load.
This warhead must have the ability to maneuver in orbit outside the atmosphere. At the same time, it abandons the traditional warhead and directly destroys the opponent through precise impact.
These words completely confused the experts in front of him, because Qin Guan still hadn't said the most important thing.
"This warhead will use a long-wave working monochrome forward-looking infrared as the target sensing/calibration device. We use the traditional method to bring it to the vicinity of the target, and then use this device to help it finally achieve an accurate impact."
When dealing with ballistic missiles, it is beneficial to use infrared rays, because the launch and fall of ballistic missiles all have to pass through the atmosphere. Under high speed, the warhead will be rubbed to a high temperature of thousands of degrees, which can easily Using infrared devices to capture it is definitely more accurate than normal guidance.
Such a warhead can not only work in the atmosphere, but also intercept outside the atmosphere, which means that it can intercept not only the enemy's ballistic missiles in the fall section, but also in the middle section!
The flight of ballistic missiles is similar to ordinary artillery shells. The rocket ignites, launches, turns in the sky, and flies along a ballistic route. The whole can be divided into three sections. The ascending section of the ignition process, which flies after leaving the atmosphere. The middle section, and the landing section for re-entry into the atmosphere.
During the landing phase, the warhead was already near the target. Even if the interception was successful, it would easily cause damage to the target. Without a nuclear explosion, the radioactive contamination of the nuclear warhead would be daunting enough.
In the middle section, when the warhead was still flying in outer space, it was destroyed. Obviously, it can better protect the target. Now, after Qin Guan's introduction, everyone's eyes are bright.
Yes, if you have such equipment, of course it would be better, but the difficulty here is quite high!
"I can help you find some information." Qin Guan said: "This interception method is technically difficult. It may take five to ten years to overcome. Therefore, we should not be too hasty. The completion of the interception experiment of short-range missiles using existing devices is also of practical significance."
I haven’t had much fun these days. Exchange all those standard-3, TMD and other materials. If you have equipment, you can bring it with you and let the experts study it.
