There are indeed some missiles that like to do part-time jobs.
For example, the S-300 missile, which is now causing everyone's headaches, can strike ground targets on land. Later Russian troops have also conducted special drills and found the enemy's army. Use S-300 to kill it!
If it is really done like this, it is definitely not cost-effective. I am afraid that a missile would cost more than a dozen vehicles.
In addition to the S-300, China’s Haihongqi has also experimented against other warships at sea. There are also anti-aircraft missiles similar to the "Beech" and "Armor" air defense missiles, as well as the US "Standard" series air defense missiles. Missiles that strike targets on the ground and on the sea.
At the same time, they also have some advantages, such as advanced control systems, such as the ability to fly close to the sea, etc. However, these missiles are not just fired. The first step is to improve the software.
After all, the flight control methods cannot be the same, so there must be a special ground-to-sea mode to deal with flight control problems; at the same time, terminal guidance is also a big problem. Thermal imaging like the AIM-9X is not a big problem, because it can see the target clearly, as long as you look at it, but if it is guided by radar, the reflection characteristics of the ground and sea targets are usually larger than that of the aircraft, but the noise is also stronger. The filtering of modern seekers is mainly processed by digital computers, and different functions can be optimized by software. However, early radar seekers are difficult to optimize the noise processing of air-to-ground and sea at the same time. After all, in this era, there are almost no digital filter circuits. Many of them use analog circuits. It is not so easy to attack ground targets. .
Needless to say about the warhead, it is impossible to just talk about guidance.
So, Nathan intuitively wanted to oppose it, but if Steve came up with such an idea, it must have a purpose.
So Nathan continued to listen to Steve's explanation.
"Our phoenix missile does not have a ground attack mode, but our phoenix missile has another feature, which can lock the electromagnetic emission source."
This is their only way.
The bird missile uses active radar guidance technology at the end. This is the premise that it can attack multiple targets. In the last 20 kilometers or so, it can launch electromagnetic waves and search for targets by itself. At the same time, it will also face Interference from the enemy.
If there is a strong electromagnetic interference source and the missile loses its target, what should I do at this time
In this regard, the engineers provided a solution. If you can see the target, attack the target, if you can't see the target, then attack the interference source!
I will beat anyone who interferes! This is a special logic of the Bird Missile, heading towards the target of the electromagnetic emission source!
In this sense, the bird missile can also attack the radar vehicle of the S-300 missile. In order to resist interference, its radar launch vehicle uses a phased array system, and the launch power is even greater. A huge, general interference source can't suppress it at all, because the power of the interference source is not as large as its power, which is also Lao Maozi's consistent thinking.
Now, hearing Steve's words, Nathan gritted his teeth: "Okay, then we can try it once, but we still need a bait."
The Tomcat fleet at the scene was still waiting. They all carried at least four bird missiles, enough to carry out an attack.
There must be a large number of missiles to form a sufficient number density. Only when the missiles launched exceed the firepower channel of their air defense system, will the missile penetrate the defense. Therefore, the refueling tactic is the most undesirable. To do it, we must do our best.
Among them, there will be a problem. The other party's radar has to be turned on.
If the radar is not turned on, then their missiles will not be able to aim at the target, and if they want to turn on the opponent's radar, someone must be a decoy.
This task is definitely his own.
Nathan has no choice.
"Now, there are two more things." Nathan said: "Contact the Hughes company and see if the bird missile needs to be adjusted, contact the electronic warfare, and adjust the seeker of the Mozu missile according to the frequency they receive. If the bird missile does not work, then we can only use the Mozu."
Speaking of anti-radar, it is the Mozu missile. However, the range of the Mozu missile is insufficient. The latest Mozu missile has a range of only forty kilometers and carries a great risk.
At the same time, the second point is that the seeker of the Mozu missile cannot be changed by itself. Now that a new target appears, the seeker must be improved according to the frequency of the new radar collected.
If the bird missile cannot change the mode, then the only risk is to use the Mozu.
The kill range of the S-300 is almost 100 kilometers. I want to fly to a distance of forty kilometers to launch a Mozu. I don't know if I have a life back!
Just a few years ago, the David Air Force fighter plane was horribly beaten by the Sam missile. This painful lesson is still lingering in front of everyone. If you rush in, the possibility of becoming a martyr is quite high.
Nathan was lucky to have just returned, and now, Nathan has to take risks.
"Nathan, you are the commander of the squadron, and your duty is to command the entire squadron, not to take risks alone." Petrobori said: "In the future, you must always remember this."
As the squadron leader, Nathan often went to the enemy alone, which is extremely wrong.
Faced with Petropaoli’s questioning, Nathan did not agree: "I think that in a dangerous situation, I will try my own risk, it is better than the entire squadron. This is my duty. ."
"You!" Petropaoli didn't know what to say. Such subordinates are likeable and daunting.
While discussing in the bridge, the echo came.
"Hughes Company urgently convened a meeting of the engineers who had participated in the research and development of the Bubird missile. After discussion, they agreed that our plan was not feasible." The first officer reported a frustrating news.
"First of all, they said that we could not lock the target at all, and could not design the trajectory. Therefore, in the program of the bird missile, at most it can only fly with a direct ballistic trajectory. In this way, it cannot reach a range of 100 kilometers."
In order for the Bird to fly to a range of more than 100 kilometers, after launch, it will first climb to a height of 24,000 meters. When the air resistance is low at high altitudes, the range will be increased. That is, the target has been locked in advance. in the case of.
If not, you can only fly a direct ballistic trajectory, and the range will be greatly reduced.
"They can only modify the circuit and optimize the program to achieve our goal, but it will take at least a month."
In a month? The Soviets here have already occupied the entire Hokkaido, and even Honshu Island has been beaten up by the Soviets!
Direct flight trajectory? At this moment, Nathan suddenly remembered something, there is a way! (End of this chapter)
