Chapter 974: Cooperative research and development of armed helicopters

Hearing Qin Guan's words, Totti was immediately happy. At this moment, the other party proposed the gunship helicopter project. It happened that he also needed a partner.
If you want to talk about gunships modified with transport helicopters, your own A109 helicopters will do. The Gazelle helicopters that the country has been promoting are actually modified transport helicopters.
Such a helicopter is certainly not Qin Guan's original intention. Since he said that it is a special armed helicopter, it should be a professional one.
Looking at the world, only the AH-1 of the eagle nation is the only one, and nothing else is considered, it is all modified.
Now, Qin Guan proposed the so-called armed helicopter to himself, which of course meant something, and Totti immediately thought of his ongoing project.
Agusta’s A129 anti-tank gunship plan, so far, has not progressed smoothly.
After experiencing the failure of cooperation with other countries, the Army of Noodles decided to cooperate with Agusta Corporation. In this way, the agreement of intent was signed in 1978. Now, there is endless debate over these specific indicators. Everyone knows that it is true. The reason is that they can’t give Agusta a money, how can they enter the project design stage?
Now, if Han people participate and have their funds, it is of course the best.
"It just so happens that we also have a development plan for armed helicopters. If you are willing, you can share our development results by providing funds, how about it?" Totti asked.
Hearing what he said, Qin Guan knew what the other party's idea was. The other party asked him to invest money and wait until the research and development is completed before selling the product to him. Such a thing can only be done by Baixiang Country. When such a fool.
"Our plan is to set up a research and development department in our own country. If we cooperate with you, it is also possible. Then we will set up research and development institutions in you and in our country respectively. We will develop together and enjoy the results together, how about?"
Qin Guan said very clearly that everyone should research and develop together and share technology, so that Han Guo can gain valuable experience in research and development.
This is the same as Spey's modification.
Spey’s prototype can already be produced, but we don’t understand those design concepts. Through the development of Spey’s modifications together with engineers from the country, we have mastered Spey’s design concepts in this process. The harvest is huge.
Now, the same is true for the development of armed helicopters. Qin Guan mentioned that the R&D department is also set up in China, just because he is afraid that the noodle countrymen will make ghosts. If the R&D organization is in Agusta, then he may be excluded if he goes there. Outside the core department, do some chores all day long.
One of Qin Guan's basic attitudes is to jointly develop and master core technologies. Totti seemed very embarrassed to hear him say this.
This is simply teaching each other hand in hand!
An armed helicopter is very different from a transport helicopter. Its main components must be designed for bulletproof. It must have an advanced cockpit system, a weapon control system, a sighting system, etc. These are not random. Can be mastered.
In the process of research and development, the Han people also mastered these technologies.
This is simply cultivating competitors. At the beginning, Agusta Corporation came from Sikorsky's apprenticeship, and now it is competing with Sikorsky.
If Han people mastered it, would they be a competitor in the future?
The transport helicopter, this kind of A109, does not matter if it is handed over to Han. After all, many countries in the world have it, but the armed helicopter is different. Now, if you look at it, who has this technology? Only Eagle Country.
In the equipment of various countries, armed helicopters are also a blank. Therefore, once the development is successful, the prospects for export are also very broad. At this time, they are not willing to teach others the technology hand-in-hand.
Looking at the other party’s expression, Qin Guan knew what the other party was thinking. This kind of thing, if you are willing, of course, you can’t force it. He said to the other party,
Of course, we also know that we are cooperating with foreign companies. After all, it’s unreliable, so we also have plans for self-research. While the Army is testing the Gazelle helicopter during this period, it is also reporting to superiors. Now, the superiors have approved it, and it is estimated that a total of 100 million yuan will be invested in research and development. After all, the threat we face is the greatest, and our superiors value it most."
100 million! Hearing this, Totti was finally tempted. To study helicopters is to burn money, and to study armed helicopters is to burn money. If there is capital investment from Han, then his own A129 helicopter can definitely be put into research and development as soon as possible. In.
Qin Guan continued: "In the helicopter system, we are indeed lagging behind. There are no advanced helicopters in China. However, in the weapon system, we have already begun to deal with the threat of tanks seriously. Our department is developing helicopter needs. We lack millimeter-wave radars, optical detection systems, and so on. What we lack is the helicopter itself. Now, we have to introduce helicopter technology, and we also have this consideration."
Qin Guan had already said very straightforwardly.
Why should we introduce Dolphin helicopters? It is because of the full set of technologies that others have given to helicopters. Based on this technology, we have to build our own specialized armed helicopters!
The introduction of helicopter technology is not only for our use, but also reserved for armed helicopters. As for other technologies required by armed helicopters, we are also developing.
Although the Noodle Nation is engaged in armed helicopters, it does not make every part of it by itself. For example, the helicopter's sighting system was introduced by Saab.
Since Han is now engaged in these technologies, it happens that both sides learn from each other's strengths.
Others may not work, but there is no doubt that Han's electronic technology has made a leap.
Just want us to provide funds and not let us participate in research and development, which is definitely not enough.
When it comes to this, Qin Guan knows that he has impressed the other party. After all, it is very important to jointly develop and cultivate his own scientific research team with the noodle countrymen. Exchange equipment and technical information by himself is also true. , To know why, a positive R&D process is more important.
Then, it was the last to shiver.
Qin Guan opened the drawer of his desk and took out a piece of paper: "This is a sketch of an armed helicopter designed by our helicopter experts."
Don't think that you are developing a gunship helicopter, which is at the world's leading level. We are not slow, we also have our own gunship plan!
