Chapter 394 J-[-] Weapon System
394 J-[-] Weapon System
Fade Chen looked around the J-[-] several times, and then reluctantly came to the front.

"Introduce the weapon system." Fade Chen turned to Shangqiu.

"The J-[-] has three main weapon systems, one is a laser cannon, one is an electromagnetic cannon, and the other is a microwave cannon." Shangqiu began to introduce.

Fade Chen's eyes lit up when he heard it.

He was not surprised by the laser cannon, he had already thought of it.

For laser cannons, the speed is 30 kilometers per second, the focus is particularly good, and the power per unit area is super high. This is a natural good weapon seedling.

The U.S. Air Force has long begun to test the 15KW laser of the F50 fighter jet. In terms of power alone, this figure can kill all missiles and aircraft in seconds. It is not surprising, but the devil has always been hidden in the details. Laser cannons need to be used on a large scale. The high power alone explains everything: the long-distance aiming and focusing ability and the residence time of the laser beam are also the two biggest bottlenecks.

In fact, our army has already been researching weapons such as laser cannons, and has achieved great results. The only shortcoming is that another breakthrough is needed in terms of miniaturization.

But judging from now, there is no problem at all in this regard.

Our country has done experiments, as long as the energy of the laser cannon can reach 100 gigawatts, only 0.01 seconds of continuous irradiation is enough to easily solve the warheads of general intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In addition, in the late 90s, our country also conducted experiments related to lasers and destroyed 155mm artillery shells many times, which proved that laser cannons are much stronger than ordinary interceptors in terms of interception efficiency and interception power. .

If only physical ammunition is used for interception, then the issue of ammunition load alone is an insurmountable barrier. Judging from the Navy's interception test, it takes thousands of rounds to perform a relatively short interception mission, even for 30mm 1000 rounds of shells is also a very large volume. The weight of 30mm shells is about 2 kilograms, and 1000 rounds is a full 2 ​​tons. For an aircraft, the weight of 2 tons is actually not small.

In the case of missile interception, the difficulty and efficiency of interception will be much lower.

The interception efficiency of a missile is generally only about 70%. Therefore, the interception mission generally adopts the mode of 2 interceptions and 1 missile. In this mode, if you want to intercept enough missiles, the biggest problem is how to solve your own problems. Ammo load problem.

Both of these problems can be solved by using lasers. Even in high-power interception mode, the energy consumed by one interception will not exceed 150 kilograms of battery or chemical energy, which is about 10 times less than using missiles and machine guns. , and when performing combat missions, the interceptor can also adjust the output power of the laser according to the size and range of the incoming target to plan the power and range, which is precisely the biggest advantage of laser weapons.

Of course, the laser cannon has not been used before because the miniaturization of the laser cannon has not been successful.But now, a major breakthrough has been made in the miniaturization of laser cannons, which can be installed on ordinary J-[-] fighter jets, so let alone the big J-[-].

Of course, although the laser cannon is good, there are still many problems, mainly because the smog and cloud cover can greatly reduce its effectiveness or even fail directly. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the laser cannon is best used at high altitudes. Uncomplicated high altitudes are most suitable.

Therefore, J-[-] also developed another weapon, the electromagnetic gun!
The advantage of the electromagnetic gun is that the recoil is ultra-low and the projectile has a high initial velocity. For example, it is suitable for close-range attacks. The attack effect on solid targets is better than that of laser cannons. The speed is between laser cannons and traditional missile shells.

However, the weakness of the electromagnetic gun is also obvious. The higher the initial velocity of the projectile, the farther the range, the better the performance. However, due to the severe aerodynamic heating and the strong launch impact of 3-50000G, the projectile cannot be equipped with a seeker. In fact, it can only be used as a high-speed gun. Spear use, ranged attack lack of precision has always been a weakness.

Because electromagnetic guns and laser cannons have their own advantages and disadvantages, our army did not show a clear tendency to walk on two legs and did not ignore one of them. Today, our army's electromagnetic guns have also made major breakthroughs.

But the weapon system of the J-[-] is not limited to this one.

In addition, he has another secret weapon, which is the microwave cannon, or microwave weapon.

In fact, Chinese scientists have invested more than six years in research and development of microwave weapon technology.

At the 2016 National Science and Technology Awards Conference, Chinese expert Huang Wenhua led his team to develop a new concept technology achievement that won the first prize. This achievement will have great application potential in national defense construction, economic construction, and industrial production.

Our army's microwave cannon started from there.

The microwave cannon on the J-[-] refers to high-power microwave weapons.This is a very advanced new concept weapon technology. The basic principle is to directional radiate high-power microwaves through high-gain antennas, so that microwave energy can be gathered in a very narrow beam to form a high-power, energy-concentrated and directional microwave beam. , to irradiate the target with extremely high intensity.By destroying electronic components and interfering with electronic equipment, it disrupts the combat capability of enemy weapons, destroys its communication, command and control systems, and causes casualties.

Like laser weapons, high-power microwaves are advanced weapon technologies that travel at or near the speed of light.

The mechanism of action of these two weapons is similar, but the way of killing has its own characteristics.

The way of killing and destroying laser weapons is generally "hard destroying", mainly by focusing the laser beam very finely, and aiming precisely, and directly hitting the target to destroy and destroy the target.

The high-power microwave weapon is a "soft kill" characterized by interference or burning of the electronic components of the weapon system. The energy required for the destructive effect is several orders of magnitude smaller than that of the laser weapon, so it can be equipped on smaller objects such as drones. on the platform.

In addition, since the beam spot of the microwave beam is much larger than that of the laser beam, the striking range is also large, and the requirements for tracking and aiming accuracy are relatively low.

To put it figuratively, laser weapons focus on "picking a line with a gun", while high-power microwave weapons emphasize "sweeping a large area with a stick".

In contrast, the cost and technical difficulty of high-power microwave weapons are lower than those of laser weapons, and they are also more conducive to the miniaturization of weapons.

Fade Chen was dumbfounded after listening to Shangqiu's introduction.

Oh shit!

The J-[-] is too awesome. If this weapon is sent to an alien world, it will directly be a dimensionality reduction strike!

Can aliens handle it?
Electromagnetic cannons are used to hit close-range armored targets, laser cannons are used to hit high-value targets, and microwave cannons are used to bomb large-scale electronic equipment. With these three things, in the future, in the air, it will be the sixth-generation aircraft walking sideways. !
