The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 149 Helmet Sight

149 helmet sight

Fade Chen only stayed in his hometown for two days, and then embarked on a journey to Chengdu.

He arrived at Chengdu Airport by plane at the stipulated time, where the military staff had been waiting for a long time, they boarded the vehicle provided by the other party, and then went directly to a military base.

In fact, it is also a military airport.

The second lieutenant who went to pick them up at the airport dropped them off at the airport, handed them over to a colonel, and left.

The colonel smiled and introduced himself: "Hi everyone, my name is Huang Bin, and the superior asked me to be in charge of everyone's modification training!"

"Hi sir!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted.

"Don't be the chief, the chief. I'm also a pilot, and I'm only a few years older than you. You can call me Lao Huang, or Brother Huang. It's more friendly, and it will be convenient for us to communicate in the future." Huang Bin said kindly .

He seems to be more approachable, and at the moment he speaks and does things like a spring breeze, so everyone is kind and friendly, and they all called out cordially: "Brother Huang!"

"I'll take everyone to check in first!"

Huang Bin took everyone to an apartment building and arranged them to stay on the first floor.

After the arrangements were made, everyone couldn't wait to ask Huang Bin: "Brother Huang, when will we start the modification training?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Huang Bin asked with a smile.

"We haven't seen the legendary J-[-]D, and we don't even think this model exists, so..."

Huang Bin laughed loudly when he heard this, and stopped laughing, he said: "I understand your feelings, but this matter can't be rushed, take your time, Dr. Shangqiu hasn't come yet, there is no need to rush use?"

"Dr. Shangqiu? What Dr. Shangqiu?" Everyone was at a loss.

"The engineer of Chengfei, the apprentice of the chief designer of the J-[-]D." Huang Bin introduced with a smile: "The first item of the modification training, she will introduce the J-[-]D to everyone, so that everyone can have a preliminary understanding of the J-[-]D. After that, I will take everyone to the simulator, and after the simulator assessment is completed, the practical training will begin.”

After listening to everyone, you look at me and I look at you, and you are all taken aback. This modification training seems to be of a high standard, and the doctor will come to give you theoretical training first.

Huang Bin smiled and said, "Dr. Shangqiu is a beautiful woman!"

"Really?" The eyes of Li Donghai, Huang Haijun, Qin Herring, Li Cheng and the others lit up.

"It can't be truer. I've seen it with my own eyes. I heard that Dr. Shangqiu is still single. So, brothers, seize the opportunity. I have no chance because I'm married!"

When Huang Bin said this, the six members of Shenlong Squadron, except Chen Fei and Yang Dong, couldn't help but get excited.

"Brother Huang, can you show us the J-[-]D flight manual first?" Fade Chen asked.

Flight manual?

Huang Bin was taken aback, and then said: "This is fine, I'll bring it to you in a while!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone dispersed. Huang Bin really went to get some flight manuals and gave them to everyone. Fade Chen took the pamphlets, closed the door, and quietly read them in the dormitory.

After roughly flipping through the flight manual, Fade Chen basically understood what kind of aircraft the J-[-]D is. It is similar to what everyone discussed before, adding a conformal fuel tank, replacing the domestic Taihang vector engine, and increasing the mount. , upgraded the avionics system.

In other words, there are three biggest improvements of this fighter. One is to replace the vector engine, the second is to upgrade the avionics system, and the third is to increase the fuel capacity. In this way, even without aerial refueling, the fighter can also be operated for a long time. For example, in the previous cruise missions of Fade Chen and the others, because of the short legs of the J-[-]C, a section of the route had to be cut into two sections, and one formation was in charge of one section, but if it was the J-[-]D, that one formation could complete it. .

It is no exaggeration, with the J-[-]D, the air and space security on the second line of defense will be more secure. If there are enough pilots, it can basically be guaranteed that no alien fighters will be able to break through the second line of defense and enter our country's air and space field.

Another point, Fade Chen feels that this J-[-]D is almost tailor-made for certain countries, and it can fully meet their current homeland security needs. Thinking about it, whether the J-[-] can achieve zero breakthrough in exports depends on him.

Oh, and, the biggest breakthrough of the J-[-]D is the use of our country's most advanced helmet sights.

In a modern combat environment, fighter pilots and armed helicopter pilots are required to fly at high speeds, low altitudes, and especially under all-weather conditions.

Flying under such conditions requires the targeting system to be able to manipulate the missile seeker and airborne radar to quickly intercept the target under large maneuvering conditions during the attack on the target.

Judging from the above requirements, the sights used in the past cannot fully meet the needs of combat. The reason is that the aiming process is complicated and slow, and it is inconvenient to take into account other situations during the attack. Even if the head-up display is used, due to the small field of view, it is generally 20 degrees - 30 degrees, making aiming attacks somewhat limited.

In order to meet the operational needs, in the early 20s, the U.S. Army proposed the development of special sights. Among the four schemes at that time, the scheme of detecting the operator's head or helmet motion control weapon was selected, that is, the helmet sight.

Helmet sights were first used in armed helicopters and later in fighter jets.

With the application of new technology in fire control, the line-of-sight accuracy of the helmet sighting system has been significantly improved.

Israel electro-optical industry company and Bendix company of the United States jointly developed a helmet display/aiming system using holographic optical elements and optical fiber transmission image technology. Accuracy, thus opening the way for helmet sights to enter the field of fighter jets.

From the perspective of development, due to the large field of view of the helmet sighting system, it provides the pilot with a real head-up capability and can perform multi-function display, and the accuracy of the aiming line is not lower than that of the head-up display, so it is possible for the helmet sight to replace the head-up display.

At present, the helmet sights on the Russian Su-27 series aircraft belong to the first generation of monocular sights.The new generation of helmet sights represented by the United States Joint Helmet Display System JHMCS (equipped with F-35 fighter jets) uses a binocular sight system.

Monocular and binocular are mainly reflected in the visual effect. As we all know, the visual effect of monocular viewing is not as good as that of binocular, and there is no sense of distance measurement and space, and it is impossible to form a three-dimensional visual experience. The binocular design is conducive to The helmet sight system adopts holographic stereoscopic image technology on the eyepiece display, which makes the pilot's perception ability stronger, and can better distinguish and feel the space target.

The helmet sight of the J-20 is the most advanced in our army. It displays the information on the eyepiece by means of projection. The pilot can see the required information by looking at both eyes at the same time. It can display the airspeed altitude climb rate and aiming information for all weapons.The helmet will even show targets the pilot missed.For example, if a threat is flying in and the pilot is looking away, it can sound an alarm to alert the pilot to pay attention.At the same time, this helmet also has a night vision function. When flying at night, the pilot can also put down the eyepiece and perform night vision flight through the eyepiece.

In addition, the integrated aiming helmet has the function of "seeing where to shoot". It is directly connected with the fire control system of short-range air-to-air missiles. The pilot's eyes can be directly aimed at the enemy aircraft coming from close range, and the helmet can recognize the pilot's line of sight. , and then directly control the air-to-air missile to shoot at the target.

In addition, since the J-20 fuselage is equipped with an integrated situational awareness sensor system similar to the EOTS sensor of the F-35 fighter jet, it can provide a 360-degree omnidirectional field of vision, and has a forward-looking infrared search and tracking function, which can strengthen the pilot's long-distance situation. Perception ability, so this also requires that the J-20 must be equipped with a helmet sight.

Fade Chen also used the helmet sight before, but it was too backward. If he wanted to use it, he had to go through thousands of trainings on the ground to achieve the perfect fusion of people, fighter planes and helmet sights. However, according to the flight manual, The helmet sight of the J-20D is much more advanced than the previous one, and it is exactly the same as the head sight of the legendary J-[-].

This is the big killer!
