Super Weapon Swap System

"Our air defense missiles seem to be making good progress." just as the Navy's joint military exercise was about to begin, Qin Guan also came to the second Aerospace Institute to investigate the research and development of a new generation of air defense missiles.

In terms of air defense missiles, the range is getting farther and farther, and the interception ability should be higher and higher. This is the inevitable result. After all, technology is constantly improving.

The performance of our current Hongqi 9 missile is already good. In particular, in order to improve the range, we have added a third-class improved Hongqi 9 missile, which has a range of 200 kilometers and has no problem intercepting ballistic missiles within 1000 kilometers.

However, this is not the best result. After all, a thousand kilometers can only be called short-range missiles. If you want to intercept medium-range missiles or even intercontinental missiles, you need more advanced technology.

In the past, Qin Guan once proposed to develop air defense missiles with longer range, to have better performance, and even to have highly mobile warheads that can fly outside the atmosphere.

Now, it has been a year or two since he put forward these requirements and gave various specific materials. He came here again and saw the serious expression of the technicians.

The chief designer is still Zhong Lao. Because of his outstanding performance in air defense missiles, he is also known as the father of red wine. Well, the name sounds strange. Zhong Lao doesn't drink much and doesn't like red wine. This red wine means red flag nine.

As for the ongoing project, in the internal number, it is also temporarily called red flag nine B, which still belongs to the red flag nine series.

Now, when general manager Qin came to inspect, Mr. Zhong was also full of joy. In the conference room, he began to introduce Qin Guan.

"First of all, it is about the range. We can't follow the old path of Xiong Guo. In recent years, the Fourth Academy of Astronautics has been studying solid rocket motors with more advanced performance. Now we have made great progress. After optimizing the propellant and adopting more advanced outer shells, the range of our air defense missiles has basically doubled to 400 kilometers It's out of range. "

Xiong Guo's old way is to pile fuel. Since the range is not enough, it's better to increase fuel. However, after increasing fuel, the self weight becomes larger and thicker. The real range may not be effectively improved. We should start with the engine.

It's better not to change the volume of the missile too much. It's not good to pile the volume all the time. For example, if you want to make the existing warships of the Navy usable, you have to plug them into the existing anti-aircraft missile silo.

It's ok if the volume is small. One pit can play many bullets, but if the volume is too large, it's not good.

This can only rely on more advanced propulsion technology.

The range of 400 kilometers, of course, is an extreme number. The range and altitude can never be achieved in full.

"We redesigned the whole projectile. The booster in the back is thicker and the projectile in the front is thinner. In this way, after the boost, the boost section can fall off as soon as possible, so that the weight of the whole projectile can be reduced. Moreover, the air is thin at high altitude, which makes it easier to improve the range. The maximum shooting height can also exceed 100 kilometers," Zhong said.

Qin Guan nodded. The 400 kilometer air defense missile is already a pretty good data. Such a missile has absolutely no problem intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles.

Then, the expression on Zhong Lao's face fell again: "however, we have failed several times in developing the kinetic energy interceptor outside the atmosphere. In particular, the scheme you put forward is to destroy each other's target by precise impact. This is really too difficult."

On the one hand, the increase in the range of their air defense missiles is also the reason why the weight of the warhead is greatly reduced. It depends. The warhead of this new air defense missile is much smaller than the previous missiles.

When intercepting outside the atmosphere, the pneumatic rudder surface cannot be used. Other means are needed. On the other hand, it is still accurate impact!

None of the current air defense missiles uses precise impact. They all fly nearby, detonate the warhead, create enough fragments, and then use the diffusion of these fragments to kill each other. After all, aircraft are very fragile and use materials such as aluminum alloy. A flying bird will crash the aircraft, let alone iron, As long as a nail hits a high-speed plane, it is enough to break a big hole in the plane.

As long as the explosion opens, there will be enough debris area to wrap the fighters flying from the other side. However, if you want to impact accurately, the technology required is quite strong.

Qin Guan nodded. Naturally, he knew that precise impact required high technology. It was like Xiong Guo deployed an anti missile system in the 1960s. This system was just using nuclear bombs to destroy the incoming nuclear bombs of the other party. The accuracy requirement was not high. It was another 50 years before Eagle Kingdom began to deploy a national ballistic missile defense system, Can this show that the eagle people's technology is worse? Of course not. The eagle people don't use nuclear bombs to intercept, but precise impact to destroy warheads. In this way, the accuracy needs to be improved by several orders of magnitude.

The technology is very difficult, but it must be done in this way. This is a goal that must be achieved, because Qin Guan knows that ballistic missile defense technology must be developed.

If none of us develops and all of us maintain the same level together, it is enough, but Eagle country will never be reconciled. They must risk the voice of opposition all over the world to promote their TMD and NMD. What about foreign opposition? They do their own work and don't care about external opposition at all.

In that case, only our own side has this technology. In fact, some projects of Star Wars proposed by the actor and president have been studied later. This is the case with the intercontinental ballistic missile defense system.

Of course, this technology is very difficult. The eagle people have been engaged in it for decades and have developed from continuous failures. Of course, the Han country will go through this process.

"By the way, is our project still in its own research stage?" Qin Guan suddenly asked.

Mr. Zhong nodded. This project is absolutely confidential and has not been opened yet. When Qin Guan asked, he also responded: "Mr. Qin, do you mean to ask some Xiong experts to help?"

Qin Guan nodded: "we can find some absolutely reliable Xiong experts to join this project. After all, Xiong people's technology in space is also quite powerful."

In fact, our own side is still a baby in aerospace. Bear country and Eagle country are the adult level. This kind of extraatmospheric interceptor needs a high level of aerospace technology. Maybe we can ask them for help.

Anyway, there are already many Xiong experts who are used to the life of Han.
