Chapter 397 The biggest shortcoming of the air assault battalion—command helicopter

The biggest shortcoming of the 397th Airborne Assault Battalion - the command helicopter

Chen Fan and Tuo Xiaoying talked for more than ten hours at a stretch.

I just take care of my meals in the office.

The two people finalized dozens of future cooperation projects one by one.

Mainly, Chen Fan proposed plans and ideas, and Tuo Xiaoying led their team to implement them.

With Takusakura's drone, the ground firepower of the air assault camp is basically no problem.

In this way, the air assault battalion can both carry a light load and form precise heavy firepower. It is much lighter than the troops in the traditional air assault brigade that need to carry 120mm mortars, various anti-tank missiles and other rockets. , they only need to carry a certain number of general-purpose machine guns and a small amount of heavy firepower, and other critical tasks can be handed over to helicopters.

However, this does not mean that the equipment of the air assault battalion is complete.

At this time, Chen Fan is not qualified to talk about whether things are good enough. The first thing he wants to think about now is whether the various urgently needed equipment are available!

In the confrontation between Lao A and the 702 Regiment a few years ago, the 702 Regiment was beaten horribly. One of the key factors was that Lao A's command headquarters was set up on a helicopter, and the 702 Regiment required hundreds of people. The completed command center work can be completed by Lao A with less than ten people, and everything else relies on information equipment.

The command and control system has become the standard configuration of the armies of major military powers. It relies on the national information infrastructure of reconnaissance/communication satellites, geological surveys, and intelligence collection, and uses computers as the carrier to achieve the acquisition, transmission, and processing of combat information. Automation ensures that command agencies at all levels implement scientific and efficient command, control and management of their troops and weapons.

With the help of the command and control system, what was once done by more than a dozen people can now be completed by just a few people. This kind of command headquarters has a reduced establishment, high flexibility, and a high survival rate.

Solve the problems that exist first, and then think about the problems that are good or bad. Take it step by step and make solid progress.

This platform must be able to access data from each combat unit and make rapid analysis.

On Earth, the first army to use helicopter airborne command systems was the U.S. Army.

In the era of information warfare, whoever can control the battlefield situation between the enemy and ourselves and make reasonable and effective attacks has a greater chance of winning the war.

But this thing is a rare commodity and is in extremely short supply. Even Lao A only has one.

To be honest, that thing is what Old A is most proud of.

According to Chen Fan's deduction, as of now, this air assault battalion still lacks a very important thing, and that is a command helicopter.

If the air assault battalion wants to successfully perform its mission, it needs a very advanced command platform.

In the face of a complex battle, there are many factors that need to be considered, and the ability to manually process information is limited. This task can be completed by the command and control system.

The U.S. Army has been equipped with UH-2013 helicopters with airborne command and control systems as early as 60. The platform has highly maneuverable, autonomous and reliable integrated digital command post capabilities, allowing commanders to traverse the combat space and maintain Situational awareness and executive command and control.

The U.S. Army's helicopter command and control system was originally designed for rapid response combat by brigade-level troops, but it was the counter-insurgency combat in Iraq that made the system shine.

Outside an isolated building complex in northern Iraq, a U.S. infantry company and Iraqi troops rushed out from a CH-47 "Chinook" helicopter and quickly moved to the target building. Two AH-64D Apache helicopters are on guard outside.

While armed with precision munitions, close air support drones are ready, the unmanned aerial vehicle provides full-motion video through its optical system.

At the headquarters more than 60 kilometers away, sensors equipped by soldiers and drones transmit battlefield information to the headquarters in real time to maintain situational awareness.

The battalion commander used A2C2S helicopters to monitor all aspects of the battle from several kilometers away, ensuring that every step of the plan was executed.

The battalion commander in the sky also uses over-the-horizon communications to interact with all combatants.

When the commander at the battle site encounters a tactical problem that cannot be decided by himself, he can ask the battalion commander hovering in the air for instructions. The battalion commander who has an overview of the overall situation in the air will make suggestions based on the helicopter's airborne command and control system and the battlefield situation he sees. Necessary guidance.

Although the above scenario describes the role of A2C2S helicopters in insurgent operations, this combat style is also applicable to engagements with regular troops. For example, the A2CS2 helicopter can command the air cavalry brigade to capture the enemy's node targets with certain defensive capabilities by surprise, thereby paralyzing the opponent's combat capabilities.

Obviously, such a command helicopter is the core symbol of the level of combat effectiveness of the air assault brigade.

But that thing is very rare and extremely precious.

Even if we look at the whole country, there are only a few troops who can have it!

But if the air assault battalion wants to display its true combat effectiveness, such an advanced platform is very necessary.

But there is only one helicopter in the entire Lao A.

Chen Fan thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind. He first found the railway and made his request: "Captain, I'm here to ask you for equipment again."

"I knew you kid would never go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything! Tell me, what do you want this time?" Railway put a document on the table, took off his reading glasses, and asked with a smile.

"Captain, I want Old A's command helicopter!"

"What?" Railway pricked up his ears. He thought he heard wrongly: "You want my command helicopter?"

"Yes, Captain! If the air assault battalion wants to form the strongest combat effectiveness, such a helicopter is indispensable!"

When Railway finally understood what Chen Fan was talking about, he laughed angrily and pointed at Chen Fan: "You, you, you kid are getting more and more greedy! Do you know that that helicopter cost me How much effort does it take? You want him when you open your mouth, but you really want it beautifully, you idiot!"

"Captain, our air assault battalion really needs them."

Before Chen Fan could finish speaking, Railway interrupted: "Tell you, it's impossible! It's never possible! Do you know, we only have one helicopter like that! Do you know, that helicopter Even if we look at the whole army, there are only a few helicopters. Chen Fan, Chen Fan, you are really brave. You, a small air force, dare to come and ask for this thing from me? I Let me tell you Chen Fan, stop talking about you, even if the head of the headquarters comes to ask for it from me, I won’t give it to you!”

Chen Fan smiled and said dryly: "Captain, how about we apply to buy one?"

After hearing this, Railway didn't even know what to say. He immediately blew his beard and glared: "Do you think that's Chinese cabbage? You can buy it if you want! Let me tell you, we also spent a lot of effort on this thing. What you can buy is not available in China - even if you have money, you can’t buy it abroad! This is people’s lifeblood, understand? You think it’s Chinese cabbage, and you want to buy one? You want to eat it!”
