Chapter 743 Land Shield Short-Range Air Defense System
After visiting the test, Vice Minister Qiu and Deputy Director Song naturally wanted to inspect the B17 factory by the way.It's all here, you can't just leave like this.So, accompanied by the factory leader and Jiang Chen, the inspection of the B17 factory started.There is no way, Jiang Chen is an employee of the B17 field, and he is also a leader, and the inspection work is mainly in the technology research and development center, so Jiang Chen naturally has to accompany him, otherwise the factory leaders will not spare Jiang Chen.

The products of the B17 factory now seem to be very simple, and there is not much change. In addition to the previous firearms, rockets/barrels, anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, and the latest integrated artillery system have been added.The truck gun being researched is currently under intensive development.Although Jiang Chen also gave a brief introduction to Deputy Director Qiu and Deputy Director Song, but there is no finished product yet, and everyone has to get to know it.But even so, the two chiefs were amazed and praised Jiang Chen for his ideas.With the deepening of disarmament, the pace of accelerating the modernization of the army is also gradually accelerating, which requires this series of advanced equipment.In this regard, the powerful European and American armies are already transforming from this simple mechanization to this digital reform, and our army is now mechanization is not popularized, and it is only motorized.

Like this artillery, most of the artillery is towed. Although the number is large, the models are complicated, the calibers are numerous, and the performance is still very backward.If you want to catch up with the powerful Western army, you must build a modern synthetic force, and the modern artillery force is the top priority in this regard, and this is also recognized by the entire army.In order to solve the mobility and protection of traditional artillery, it has been developed into a self-propelled artillery, which can solve these two problems very well.Therefore, the world's powerful armies are also scrambling to equip and develop this self-propelled artillery force, and our country is no exception, and is also doing its best to research and develop this.But for our country, self-propelled artillery is not so easy to equip.Because of its high technical requirements and high cost, very few troops can equip it.The army wanted it, but had no money to buy it, so this embarrassing situation was created.According to what Jiang Chen and the others said, if this truck cannon is really developed, it will greatly improve the plight of our army in this area.And according to what Jiang Chen said, there are many countries like this in the world, which means that there will be a big market for this thing, which means that more foreign exchange will be earned. How can they Not happy yet.Of course, everyone's first thought must be to equip their own troops, how can such a good thing be sold.But after Jiang Chen explained it, everyone realized that the technology of this thing is actually relatively simple, and it can be manufactured by some military-industrial powers at any time. Rather than being imitated by them, it is better for us to sell it in advance to make some money.

With Jiang Chen's explanation, everyone understood.After the two chiefs praised Jiang Chen, they also emphasized that this thing should be kept strictly confidential, and they would try to kill each other by surprise.Deputy Director Song also asked Jiang Chen about the progress of the entire development work in detail, and asked if they could produce samples before the defense exhibition next year, and then participate in the exhibition with the team.This exhibition is not only an economic task, but also a publicity task.In order to be able to show the majesty of the great power, this time we will definitely use some top-notch equipment and technology to suppress the situation.Although some advanced equipment products have been produced, there is still a certain gap with the advanced products in the world.If this piece of equipment is unveiled at the defense exhibition, it is bound to cause a sensation.This is what they have, and what others don't have, so the attention must be very high, so as to achieve the purpose of publicity for this trip, and take the opportunity to sell it, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.Jiang Chen also understood what was going on, and then assured Deputy Director Song that he would strive to produce samples before the defense exhibition and would not delay this mission.Deputy Director Song was very happy about this, he didn't expect to get such a reward from participating in an event, which made him very happy.

In fact, there is another piece of equipment to talk about, and that is the bullet-gun system.Now the research team has combined the previous decentralized structure into an integrated device.Compared with the previous bulky decentralized system, this integrated system is more flexible and lightweight.And now the R&D team has found a suitable vehicle, that is, the off-road vehicle tested before and this truck.Then the corresponding is also divided into reduced and regular models.The size of the reduced model is very small, thanks to the development of electronic components and micro-miniature integrated circuit technology in the past two years, which greatly reduces the size of the equipment.The shape of the entire system is more like a remote control weapon station on the top of some vehicles. In addition to a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, two improved anti-aircraft missiles are mounted next to the machine gun.In fact, it is the previous individual anti-aircraft missile, which is just a combination of the launch system on the launch tube and the artillery system.In this way, the weight of the entire system is greatly reduced, which is very suitable for this off-road vehicle or other vehicles.

The army is also very interested in this system, thinking that this system will be an important part of the field air defense of the army in the future.And as Jiang Chen used helicopters to conduct related exercises in the previous exercises, the troops became more and more aware of the importance of helicopters in future wars.So now the army is strengthening the research and development equipment of this helicopter on the one hand, and on the other hand it is researching the tactics of the helicopter.At this stage, they believe that this weapon is undoubtedly the best choice for grassroots troops.

The second conventional type needs this truck to carry it because of its huge size and weight.Like the decentralized type, this one-piece type comes out to combine various parts without much reduction in firepower.In terms of artillery, a [-]mm Gatling rapid-fire gun is used, with a maximum rate of fire of [-] rounds per minute.On both sides of the gun are also equipped with four anti-aircraft missile launchers, which are equipped with extended-range air defense missiles newly developed by the missile research and development team. Compared with the previous missiles, they are faster, more accurate, and have a longer range. high.Then everyone will understand what kind of equipment this is. That's right, Jiang Chen specially named this system, called the Lu Dun short-range air defense system.Originally, I wanted to add a year on it, but I felt a bit convoluted, so I gave up.As for the well-known name, let's wait until the improved model is released in the year before calling it.Of course, this is just a prototype, and it just integrates the entire system on the truck, which is far from comparable to the system of later generations.But with the beginning, Jiang Chen believes that they will be able to continue to progress and develop, and one day they will reach it, and they will even surpass it.
