Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

With Blumenthal acting as an intermediary, Tan Zhenhua soon chatted with David Yuskin, Luria Buxbaum and Heinrich Neumann, even though he represented the entire The youngest in the group, he looked like a student, but the three shrewd Jewish businessmen quickly figured out his position in the delegation—the one who paid the bill.

Well, there is no doubt that the person in charge of paying the bill must have the greatest decision-making power. This is a common rule all over the world. Therefore, the three senior leaders of the IAI company became extremely diligent in their attitude towards him.

After exchanging each other, according to the owner's intention, I originally wanted to arrange a group of people to go to the hotel to rest and rest. After all, it had just passed five hours of air flight, but neither Tan Zhenhua, Ben Fang, or Wei Chuan'an meant that.

Especially for Ben Fang and Wei Chuan'an, such an opportunity is too precious, they are not willing to waste a minute.

The host and the guests are free, so David Yukins temporarily changed the itinerary and accompanied the Chinese technical delegation to visit the company.

Isaac Aviation Industry Corporation, as IAI has a proud history, plays an important role in Isa’s domestic industry, economy and defense industries. Due to the special geopolitical environment faced by the country, almost every product All models have been tested in actual combat. During the short visit, Tan Zhenhua and his entourage saw the "Kindergarten" fighter, "Scout" and "Dog Trainer" two models that were very popular in the past Battle of the Bekaa Valley. Unmanned aerial vehicle, the world's first sea-skimming flight, a series of advanced weapons such as the "Gabriel" MK1 anti-ship missile guided by semi-active radar.

There are so many good things in IAI!

Xiao Tan Tan looked at the equipment greedily, drooling secretly, really wanting to wave the checkbook to buy them all and pack them away...

Unfortunately, he also knew that this was impossible, so he could only focus all his attention on the most important goal of this trip to Israel-EL/M-2021B airborne X-band pulse Doppler multifunction Fire control radar.

Of course, the host knows the minds of the guests, so after leading the delegation to visit the glorious history of IAI, they led them to the location of its ELTA system company, and walked into a simply decorated room. meeting room.

As soon as the door of the conference room was opened, everyone in the Huaxia delegation could not help but held their breath-a piece of equipment that exuded the light of modern machinery and electronics appeared in front of everyone in such a grand manner.

"This is the proudest product of our ELAT system company-ISSA’s first airborne X-band pulse Doppler multi-function fire control radar, model EL/M-2021B." Heinrich Neumann’s voice It sounded in due course: "This radar uses a programmable signal processor, high-power traveling wave tube, and distributed computing technology, with complete air-to-air, air-to-ground/sea capabilities."

Ben Fang looked at the radar he had been yearning for for a long time before asking: "General Manager Heinrich, then what are the specific parameters of this radar?"

Although Isaac uses Hebrew as the official language of the country, the education level of the whole country is very high and most of them are educated in Europe and the United States. The penetration rate of English is very high. It is conducted in English, so there are not many obstacles to communication.

Heinrich replied: "Engineer Ben, next I can briefly introduce you the performance of this radar."

As he said, he walked up to the radar, fiddled with it a few times, and removed the external heat sinks, revealing the true content inside, and Ben Fang and Wei Chuan'an had already involuntarily gathered together. Go up and watch.

"The operating frequency of this EL/M-2021B is 8GHZ~20GHZ, the average transmitter power is 300W, the maximum peak pulse power is 8KW, and the average power is 5KW; it adopts hydraulic drive mechanical scanning flat-panel slot antenna, antenna diameter 726mm, scanning range azimuth And the pitch angle is plus or minus 60 degrees, the volume is 0.25 cubic meters, and the weight is about 220 kg."

"What about the working pulse repetition frequency?"

Ben Fang listened intently, while secretly calculating in his heart, and at the same time asked casually.

Since Heinrich is the general manager of ELTA, he obviously has two brushes and knows the performance of his own products.

After listening to the question about the cardia, he could not even hesitate to answer directly: "With three working pulse repetition frequencies, HPRF, MPRF, and LPRF, it has good resolution regardless of head-up, up-view or down-view. There are five working modes: fixed axis search, super search, vertical search, tracking while scanning, and ranging while scanning in the air-to-air state; when the super search mode is used, the radar reflection area RCS is greater than or equal to 1. The effective detection range of the target has reached 120 kilometers, and the target can be locked at a distance of 50 kilometers. It can track 10 targets at the same time, lock and guide the missile to quickly attack 4 of them; in the air-to-ground/sea mode, there is accurate speed update navigation, ground There are three main working modes of moving target indication and high-resolution topographic mapping."

Ben Fang asked again: "So how is the reliability of this radar?"

Heinrich replied without hesitation: "Very good. Under the current state of technology, the mean time between failures is 120 hours."

He was obviously very proud of his own product. After answering the question of Benfang, he added another sentence: "Moreover, our radar also uses a new design. It is our first ISSA to use integrated The radar of the avionics system concept design can share and exchange data with other avionics network systems on board through the 1553B data bus."

A smile appeared at the corner of Ben Fang's mouth, and he nodded slightly, and then whispered to the fellow Wei Chuan'an. Tan Zhenhua listened clearly, Ben Fang was simply translating the series of radar performance Heinrich just mentioned to Wei Chuan'an, because Wei Chuan'an was based on the old Russian language, and he didn’t play it. English level, just use the dictionary to look at the information and barely make do, it is difficult to hear.

The two talked to each other for a long time, and finally blinked at Tan Zhenhua together. Obviously, they were very satisfied with all aspects of the written indicators of this radar.

In fact, Tan Zhenhua was quite satisfied after listening without the two of them. After all, he was a veteran playing radar in his previous life. The level of truth is even better than the current Benfang and Wei Chuan’an. He just can’t express it. Come out.

The paper parameters of this radar are not outstanding. In comparison, its performance is probably between the two generations of 1471 to 1473 in his previous 4014. Considering the age, this radar is undoubtedly accessible to China. The most important thing is that, with this radar as a reference, Huaxia is likely to break through the threshold of PD radar at the fastest speed.

It is worth it at all costs.

Now that Ben Fang and Wei Chuan'an have made their opinions clear, the next step is to see how much practical things ELTA is willing to offer in exchange for the real money in his hands.

Tan Zhenhua gave a light cough and brought the eyes of several people in the house to focus on him, and then smiled and asked: "General Manager Heinrich’s introduction to EL/M-2021B is very wonderful and detailed, and I don’t need to hide it. We came for this radar this time, and the requirements must be very clear to the bosses. So, now, can you tell me your opinion on this business?"
