Chapter 3000: Red Flag Nine B

"Our air defense missiles seem to be progressing well." Just as the navy's joint military exercises were about to begin, Qin Guan also came to the Second Academy of Aerospace, where he was investigating the development of a new generation of air defense missiles.
With regard to air defense missiles, the range is getting farther and farther, and the interception capability must be higher and higher. This is an inevitable result. After all, technology is constantly improving.
The performance of our current Hongqi 9 missile is already good. In particular, in order to increase the range, the third-stage improved Hongqi 9 missile has been added. It has a range of 200 kilometers and can intercept ballistic missiles within 1,000 kilometers. There is no problem.
However, this is not the best result. After all, a thousand kilometers can only be called short-range missiles. If you want to intercept medium-range missiles, or even intercontinental missiles, you need more advanced technology.
In the past, Qin Guan had proposed to develop air defense missiles with a longer range, with better performance, and even a warhead with high mobility that can fly outside the atmosphere.
Now, it has been one or two years since he made these requests and provided various specific information. He came here again to investigate and saw the serious expressions of the technicians.
The chief designer is still Zhong Lao. Because of his outstanding performance in air defense missiles, he is also known as the father of wine. Well, the name sounds strange. Zhong Lao doesn’t drink much, much less wine. This red wine means Hongqijiu.
As for the project currently underway, it is temporarily called Hongqi Nine B in the internal numbering, and it still belongs to the Hongqi Nine series.
Now that President Qin came to inspect, Mr. Zhong was naturally full of joy and began to introduce Qin Guan in the meeting room.
"First of all, it is about the issue of range. We can't follow the old road of Xiongguo. In the past few years, the Fourth Academy of Aerospace has been researching more advanced solid rocket motors. Now there has been considerable progress. We are optimizing the propellant. After adopting a more advanced shell, the range of our air defense missiles has basically doubled to a range of 400 kilometers."
The old road of the Xiong country is the stack fuel. Since the range is not enough, it is better to increase the fuel, but after increasing the fuel, the self-weight will be larger and thicker. The true range may not be effectively improved. Start with the engine.
The volume of the missile should not be changed too much. It is not good to keep the volume piled up. For example, if the existing navy ships can be used, it must be able to be inserted into the existing anti-aircraft missiles. Only in the well.
It’s okay if the size is small, with more bombs in one pit, but if the size is too large, it’s not good.
This can only rely on more advanced propulsion technology.
The 400-kilometer range is of course an extreme figure. The range and height are never fully achieved.
"We have redesigned the entire projectile body. The rear booster is thicker and the front projectile body is thinner. In this way, after the boost, the booster section can fall off as soon as possible, reducing the weight of the entire projectile. Moreover, at high altitude, the air is thin and it is easier to increase the range. The maximum shooting height can also exceed one hundred kilometers." Zhong Lao introduced.
Qin nodded his head. The 400-kilometer air defense missile is already a pretty good figure. With such a missile, intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles is absolutely no problem.
Then, the expression on Zhong Lao’s face fell again:
It’s just that we have failed several times in the development of a kinetic energy interceptor outside the atmosphere. In particular, the plan you proposed is to destroy it by precise impact. The opponent’s goal is too difficult."
The increase in the range of their air defense missiles is also the reason for the greatly reduced weight of the warhead. It depends, this new air defense missile has a much smaller warhead than previous missiles.
Intercept outside the atmosphere, the aerodynamic rudder surface is no longer usable, and other means are needed. On the other hand, it is still a precise impact!
None of the current anti-aircraft missiles use precision impact methods. They all fly to the vicinity and detonate the warhead to create enough fragments, and then use the proliferation of these fragments to kill the opponent. After all, aviation vehicles are all equivalent. They are fragile. They are all made of aluminum alloy. A bird can crash the aircraft, not to mention iron. As long as a nail hits a high-speed aircraft, it is enough to knock the aircraft out of a big plane. hole.
As long as the explosion opens and there is enough debris area to envelop the enemy's flying fighters, it is fine. However, if the impact is to be precise, the technology required is quite strong.
Qin nodded his point of view. He naturally knew that precise impact requires very high technology. It is like Xiong Guo deployed an anti-missile system in the 1960s. This type of system is just a nuclear bomb. It only destroys the enemy’s incoming nuclear bomb. The accuracy requirements are not high. It took another fifty years before the Eagle State began to deploy the national ballistic missile defense system. Does this mean that the Eagle’s technology is worse? Of course not. The Eagles did not use nuclear bombs to intercept them, but to destroy warheads by precise impact. This method requires several orders of magnitude improvement in accuracy.
The technology is very difficult, but this must be done. This is a goal that must be achieved, because Qin Guan knows that ballistic missile defense technology must be developed.
If everyone does not develop and everyone maintains the same level, it is enough, but the Eagle Nation will definitely not be reconciled. They will inevitably brave the voice of opposition from the whole world to promote their TMD and NMD. What about objections? They do their own things and don't care about opposition from the outside world.
Then, you can only have this kind of technology on your own. The Star Wars project proposed by the actor and president, in fact, some projects were later researched out. This is the case for this intercontinental ballistic missile defense system.
Of course, this kind of technology is difficult. The Eagles have been working on it for decades, and they have also developed from continuous failures. Of course, Han will have to go through this process.
"By the way, our project is still in its own research stage, right?" Qin Guan asked suddenly.
Mr. Zhong nodded. This project is absolutely confidential and has not been opened yet. Qin Guan also responded to this question: "Mr. Qin, you mean to ask some Xiong country experts to help? "
Qin nodded his point of view: "We can find some absolutely reliable Xiong Guo experts to join this project. After all, Xiong Guoren's technology in space is also quite powerful."
In terms of aerospace, our side is actually a baby. Xiong and Ying are at adult level. This kind of extra-atmospheric interceptor requires high-level aerospace technology. Maybe you can ask them for help.
Anyway, there are already many Xiong country experts who are used to life in Han country.
