"This is the most advanced American technology." Standing in the hangar under maintenance, Nathan looked at the Tomcat fighter with the front radome opened, and looked at the flat-panel radar antenna inside. He couldn't help but sigh.
In the 1970s, the United States began to use flat-slot radar antennas.
The original radar antenna is like a pot, which is the easiest to think of. It can reflect electromagnetic waves and gather them together, thereby increasing the effect of radar.
It has developed to the present, and it has gradually matured. It is called the Casceloren antenna. The main reflector is placed in the front to reduce the range of feed shaking and increase the mechanical life. This kind of radar is still used in the Soviet Union.
However, the United States has implemented the most advanced method of flat-slot radar antennas, which are antennas in which slots are opened on metal plates and electromagnetic waves are radiated to the outside space through the slots.
This looks quite simple, light in weight, has a good planar structure, and is easy to conform to the installation object.
The aperture surface amplitude distribution of the slot array antenna is easy to control, the aperture surface utilization is high, and low or extremely low side lobes can be realized. At the same time, the slot antenna also has the advantages of firm structure, simple and compact, easy to process, convenient power feeding, and simple erection.
However, its processing is quite precise. After all, the precision required by this gap is quite high, which is definitely not achievable by the crude technology of the Soviet Union. In later generations, even in Russia, I have never mastered the technology of this antenna. As a last resort, Russia went around directly and engaged in phased array radar.
In China, that is also a technology that has been mastered after hard work. Nathan from later generations is intoxicated by the simplicity and efficiency of this radar.
"Yes, this is our latest technology in the United States. It gives the Tomcat fighter a powerful performance." At this moment, a voice came from my ear.
Nathan turned his head and saw Emily standing behind him, looking at him with pulsed eyes.
Emily is also about to end her work at the school and is about to return to the CIA. She came here mainly to cooperate with the school to develop tactics against new aerial threats. Now, a few months have passed, Emily has completed herself. Task.
Regarding the MiG-23 and MiG-25, the Tomcat fighters will face it with a high-spirited attitude. Of course, the specific situation will not be known until the two sides fight, but the cooperation of the CIA still plays a major role.
The Soviet Union does not have these technologies, and the abnormal interception capability of the Tomcat fighter 100 kilometers away is what this radar makes it possess.
Nathan avoided Emily’s eyes. Although in this era and this country, it’s not a big deal to have relationships with a few beauties, but Nathan has previous life experience. Since he has already had something with Jenny, he can’t do it. Sorry about Jenny.
Although he never promised Jenny anything, Nathan was also clean.
Of course Nathan wouldn't remember what happened that night, it was like a dream.
Emily felt a little depressed when she thought of this. But soon, she controlled her emotions: "I'm leaving soon, how about it, can you invite me to have a drink?"
At this time, Emily's mood is very complicated. On the surface, she will return to the CIA, but in fact, she is going to Germany, her mission here is completed, and it is time to go there to restore another identity.
"No problem." Nathan said, turning his head and glanced at the Tomcat's radar again, and was about to leave the hangar. At this moment, an orderman hurried over.
"Major Nathan, Major Emily, please go to the principal's office immediately."
What's the situation
The two got into the orderly's car very suspiciously and came to the principal's office.
When he opened the door of the office, Nathan saw a kind old man sitting inside, the same General Thomas he saw when he first came to the base last time!
"Young man, you are here. I wanted to see you a long time ago. You are now the great hero of our navy!" General Thomas said with a smile, "also the great star of our country."
At first, when Nathan first came to Miramar, he talked to the old general. At that time, Nathan proposed to shoot a movie, but he got the full support of the old general. Cat fighters have taken the country by storm, and the number of applicants for naval aviation this year has doubled than ever before!
The high-ranking navy was so happy that although there were accidents during the shooting, it was still successful overall.
Hearing what General Thomas said, Nathan did not feel complacent. He said: "This is all the credit of Ms. Jenny. It is her step-by-step advancement of the operation of the film, which ultimately succeeded."
Not taking credit, not being complacent, is a kind of inheritance from later generations, and now, Nathan's performance makes General Thomas very satisfied, and he can't help but mutter: "Yes, Jenny, this little girl, really did it. Back then..."
Having said that, he stopped abruptly, and he didn't talk about this topic anymore.
"Nathan, you have become a famous star in the country, and you still haven't given up our navy and entered Hollywood. It can be seen that your loyalty to our navy is the highest. Now, we have one more thing that needs your help." General Thomas said : "King bs will come to our base soon to watch an air show. I hope you will fly the Tomcat fighter and show the excellent performance of this fighter."
After speaking, he paused and continued: "This is related to whether Grumman can continue to operate and whether our Navy can continue to equip new Tomcat fighters."
Hearing this, Nathan understood it, and sure enough, this history was a little different from what he remembered.
In history, the king of bs went to the Andrews Air Force Base to watch the flight show and chose the aircraft. At that time, the candidates of the F-15 and F-14 both performed the flight show, and the king of bs got the variable swept wing at a glance. Tomcat.
And now, because he had produced a global air combat movie ahead of time, this old guy must be quite interested in his own plane, so he went straight to the Miramar base.
As the most reliable image spokesperson for the Tomcat fighter, the Flying Tomcat fighter is almost the most suitable.
Of course, there is also competition from the Air Force.
After speaking, General Thomas turned his eyes to Emily: "Major Emily, I have no right to order you. As our consultant, you have always been diligent and diligent here. We now want to know some F In the case of the -15 fighter, this shouldn't be considered a leak, right?"
Emily nodded, and as a result, Thomas had to take an inch: "Just like this time, you and Nathan worked together to develop a beautiful performance that perfectly suppressed the F-15!" (End of this chapter)
