Chapter 386 Ground Artillery Retigation Radar
The battlefield is always the first place for the latest technology to be applied. Countless elites in the world are studying how to kill human beings better and faster all the time.
The artillery is an important part of the army and the main fire assault force. It has strong firepower, long range, good accuracy and high mobility ability. It can carry out fire assault on the ground and water targets centrally, suddenly and continuously.
Artillery is mainly used to support and cover the combat operations of infantry and armored forces, and cooperate with other arms and services, and can also ** conduct fire combat. Therefore, artillery has the title of "God of War" in history.
Since the 1990s, artillery has become the largest number of arms in the Chinese army. In the face of modern warfare, the strike ability of our artillery has also made a qualitative leap.
Among them, the tool that plays an important role in it is the detection and measurement radar of various types of artillery.
The current project of the Air Force Radar Research Institute is the BL-904 ground gun position reconnaissance radar, which is an artillery positioning radar using phased array radar technology, which is mainly used to scout mortars, howitzers, rockets and howitzers on the battlefield.
After continuous improvement and research, the performance of the BL-904 gun position reconnaissance radar has been greatly improved, its response time has been shortened to 5 seconds, and it can be used to proofread its own artillery fire. In addition, its expansion time, elevation coverage, orientation coverage, and target distance positioning accuracy are constantly improving.
In order to make it more convenient, fast and accurate for the artillery to master the operation of the reconnaissance radar, the relevant departments once again put forward requirements for the Radar Research Institute, requiring the control system to keep pace with the times and upgrade the previous character terminal interface to a graphical operation interface. Simplify the operation process of artillery, so that ordinary artillerymen without professional and higher education can also operate easily. In order to adapt to the ever-changing battlefield situation.
Originally, it was not the turn of the Air Force Radar Research Institute. After all, their upper unit was empty, and it was not their turn to do the artillery.
But who let them do the best in this area?
In the whole system, their research institute is famous for the control system. The system they made is welcomed by the majority of soldiers and think that they have made what they have made. Image, intuitive and easy to operate, even soldiers who have not gone to school can operate one or two after simple training.
And their phased array radar technology is also one of the best. Isn't Professor Xu Zhizhong the director of their institute? Make this thing. It is the most appropriate.
So, after a while, the project was airborne to their research institute.
As Dai Xingping said. The system they use is a secondary development on the WINDOWS system, and this system is a closed-source system. The information they can get is only the SDKs released by Microsoft.
They don't know the details inside, and they write programs completely at the application level. The underlying details have been encapsulated by Microsoft, although after so long research. Their technicians have also detected a lot of underlying things through special means, but it is impossible to figure out all the details.
As a result, when they write programs, they sometimes accidentally encounter some strange bugs, such as accidentally covering the system memory area, or a driver is incompatible with the system, resulting in frequent blue screens, such as this In this way, the software often flashes back inexplicably... and so on.
In order to make the system run more stable, they have to spend a lot of extra time solving these problems, and they even spend more time on these issues than they spend on control programs.
Every time the control program is made, they have to constantly test, all kinds of limit tests, run for a long time, and all kinds of toss, in order to ensure that there will be no sudden blue screen or flashback when users use it.
You know, if there is a sudden crash or a blue screen at a critical moment on the battlefield, it is likely that there will be a counterattack, and even related to the victory of a war... The system itself has a lot of loopholes and bugs. Under their continuous optimization and patching, it has actually created a The user feedback of the usable system, at least for those products developed on this framework, is quite good. Even if there is an occasional bug, it is within an acceptable range.
However, is this really the case?
Can a non-real-time general system really be qualified for the test of such a severe environment on the battlefield?
Lin Hong naturally disagrees with this.
As soon as he heard that the system they used turned out to be WINDOWS, he directly sentenced their control system to death.
If there is a real war, he has various ways to paralyze their system.
In his opinion, even if they use the DOS system directly, it is safer and more stable than WINDOWS.
The report of the technician who came in interrupted their conversation.
There is not much time to test and debug their project. Tomorrow is the last day, and it needs to be delivered immediately.
Dai Xingping said, and then went to the research and development room with his nephew Yubo and the technician.
"Grandpa Xu, what project are they doing now?" Lin Hong asked curiously... The control system has been upgraded, a domestic gun position reconnaissance radar system. Xu Zhizhong didn't hide it and said it directly.
The name of this radar is not a secret, because China had already put it into use during the war against Vietnam. At the beginning, it played a very important role and was also known to the outside world for the first time. Later, the Western media made a relatively extensive investigation and report on this matter... Lin Hong nodded when he heard the words.
Seeing what he seemed to know, Xu Zhizhong couldn't help but be curious and said, "Do you know something about this?"
"I have learned some, but this information is learned from foreign media or other institutions, and it may be a little inaccurate."
Hearing Lin Hong's words, Xu Zhizhong was more interested. He knew that Lin Hong had been abroad before, and the only way to get this information could be foreign institutions. He asked:
"You might as well say the data you know... Produced by China Northern Industrial Group, the artillery positioning radar using phased array radar technology works in the C-band and is loaded by two 6-wheel trucks, one of which is loaded with an antenna and a receiving launch unit, and the other is loaded with an operating module... The unfolding time is less than 10 minutes. Zhong, the elevation coverage is... The orientation coverage is +/-90°, and the target distance positioning accuracy is 35 meters to its target action distance... Memory data, this is Lin Hong's strength. He searched for the corresponding information in his mind, opened his mouth, and it was completely professional terms, basically and what he saw. The information is exactly the same.
And Xu Zhizhong's face became more and more surprised with his words, and in the end he was quite shocked.
"...The positioning distance is 15 kilometers for the 82mm mortar, 25 kilometers for the 122mm howitzer or 18 kilometers for the rocket, and 18 kilometers for the 155mm howitzer; it can deal with 8 targets at the same time; it adopts automatic north finder and gps autonomous positioning and orientation through wired and wireless communication devices. Transfer the target data to the command post. Its performance is comparable to that of the American tpq-36 mortar positioning radar, and even surpasses it in some aspects.
At the end, Xu Zhizhong's face was already quite serious, and it could even be said to be Tieqing.
"Where did you get this data?" Xu Zhizhong asked very seriously.
The data mentioned by Lin Hong is not the public data that the Western media often resort to the newspaper, but the latest upgraded data of this kind of gun position reconnaissance radar.
In fact, their upgrade is not only a graphical improvement, but also adds a lot of functions. It has also made a fundamental change in the processing of some data, so that on the basis of not changing the hardware structure of the entire artillery system, the performance has been improved a lot through software upgrade alone.
And the problem is that these parameters reported by Lin Hong are still in the data of their research institute, that is to say, even the domestic artillery does not know the data, but Lin Hong knows it in advance.
What does this mean?
This means that the data is leaked directly from them!
Xu Zhizhong had to pay attention to this situation. All kinds of thoughts hovered in his mind. The most important one of them was that someone was likely to leak the secret, but he didn't know whether he accidentally leaked the secret or took the initiative to leak the secret. In either case, it was worthy of his great importance as the director.
Lin Hong also looked at Xu Zhizhong in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would be so shocked and paid so much attention to his words.
He only obtained these data last night in order to have a more overall understanding of them, the Air Force Radar Research Institute.
He wants to know the information here, and it is relatively more convenient to obtain it by invading the domestic network, which is relatively more convenient than invading foreign intelligence agencies.
As the saying goes, "it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice", Lin Hongkong has the ability, but in the face of such a backward network environment in China, most institutions and departments are not even connected to the Internet. How can he get this information?
In this respect, there is no network, and there are also benefits. At least if you want to get information, you have to do it on the spot or through the hands of agents and spies.
He didn't realize what the data he said meant before. It took him a long time to recover from Xu Zhizhong's reaction. The data he reported was the latest result of them. ( To be continued...RQ
