Super Weapon Swap System

This project began in 1973. The eagle Navy began to plan to develop a missile vertical launch system with simple structure, high launch rate, large bomb storage capacity and all-round offensive and defensive launch.

Eagle Martin? Marietta undertook the task of developing this launch system and named it mk41.

However, the research and development of this system is not easy. In a twinkling of an eye, it has been seven or eight years, and it is still a long way from the success of research and development.

At the same time, the eagle navy can't wait. After all, the construction of aegis warships has begun. Therefore, the first five Ticonderoga class can only be wronged. They continue to be equipped with a mk-26 mod5 dual arm missile launcher at the bow and stern respectively. Each can be filled with 44 missiles. In addition to the main standard SM-2, it can also be filled with aslok anti submarine missiles.

In this way, a warship has 88 bombs, which is supposed to be a lot. However, compared with later ones, the gap is large.

In 1986, the mk41 system was finally completed. The eagle Navy replaced the mk-26 dual arm launcher with the MK-41 vertical launch system (VLS) from the Ticonderoga class ships after the bunker mountain.

There are 16 groups of eight combined launchers, and eight groups are installed at the front and rear of the ship, with a total bomb carrying capacity of 122. There are one group of eight combined launchers at the front and rear. The space of three adjacent tubes in the eight combined launchers is used to install a crane for sea reloading. In this way, the bomb reserve is greatly increased compared with the original warship.

In addition to more missiles, it also has the ability to respond quickly, launch at any time, greatly increase its ability to face saturated air attacks, and give full play to the strength of Aegis system to deal with a large number of targets at one time.

The first aegis warship will not be equipped until next year. Because they can't wait for the vertical launch system, they can only make use of the existing number. The navy is very unhappy. Now, Qin Guan suddenly talked about the key place. You don't have a vertical launch system!

Can this thing be solved casually?

After hearing Qin Guan's words, Thomas couldn't help asking questions. At this time, Qin Guan had continued to speak.

"We don't have to buy this kind of hound air defense missile. We have to dismantle this launcher when we go back. We will have an operation here, dig out a big hole and stuff it into our own vertical launcher." Qin Guan said that the stars were splashing. He walked around with steps, but he was calculating the length.

"In this space, we expect to insert 48 vertical launch modules to launch our improved Hongqi 61 ship to air missiles. Well, there is almost so much space behind, so we can have nearly 100 air defense missiles to make up for our air defense gap."

Qin Guan opened his mouth and said what he imagined. Although the naval officials of the Han country present were curious, they also knew that Qin Guan was fooling the people of the eagle country, so they followed him.

"Yes, we don't need beagles. We use our own red flag 61, so we don't have to buy missiles," said General Zhao.

Even General Zhao opened his mouth. People in the eagle country naturally have to believe that how can a dignified Han Navy General lie? Isn't Han investigating the sea Javelin of Niu people? Why did their air defense missile technology suddenly break through?

"Red flag 61?" General Thomas asked, "what missile is this? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"It's our own shipborne air defense missile." Qin Guan said, "this missile has been developed for more than ten years. Recently, we introduced a full set of sky flash missile technology, and then used its seeker to improve our Hongqi 61. This shipborne air defense missile has matured. We plan to use it as one of our main missiles."

After hearing Qin Guan's words, Thomas seemed to think of something. Yes, the Han people had such a project. In the past, they couldn't find a way, but after the introduction of sky flash missile technology, it's really a good idea to use the seeker of this missile to improve it.

The Han people have made a breakthrough in air defense missile systems. Their own standard missiles should have the same technical level as this kind of missiles. For the Han country, they no longer belong to the technology items prohibited from export.

Congress is too cautious.

No wonder the Han people didn't look at the Shanghai javelin. The Niu people are really tied up in a cocoon.

However, they say they have also overcome the difficulties of vertical launch system? How is this possible?

The research and development of vertical launch system is very difficult. Now our own research and development units also have countless troubles. The main problem is gas exhaust.

On the boom launcher, there will be no big problem with the gas generated by the missile ignition, as long as no one stands here during combat. Otherwise, people must become barbecues.

Now, when the missile is launched vertically, it is ignited directly in the launch shaft. However, a large amount of high-temperature gas will be generated during missile launch. It is very important to discharge these gas quickly and effectively.

These gases will cause serious ablation to the launcher and related equipment. Take the current standard ship to air missile as an example. The gas flow temperature is as high as 2400k. 40% of the exhaust is alumina particles with high hardness and strong adsorption, and also contains 76000mg / kg extremely active hydrogen chloride gas.

The heat exchange generated by the collision and disturbance of high-temperature and high-speed particles and the huge heat transmitted to the launcher are extremely unfavorable to the service life of the launcher.

How to design this gas exhaust system is a key. Eagle people are still thinking hard about how to solve these problems.

Therefore, now Qin Guan said that he wanted to dig a big pit to hang his hair. The eagle people were curious. How did they solve it?

Besides, I haven't seen any real objects. The Han people like to enlarge satellites. Are they boasting?

Suddenly, there was a flash of light. General Thomas remembered something and immediately asked, "is the vertical launch system in your plan cold launch or hot launch?"

The missile vertical launch system seems very difficult. The eagle country can't overcome the technical difficulties for a long time, but it's very simple to do it from another angle.

This is the difference between cold emission and hot emission.

The missile ignites directly in the crater. There must be complex smoke exhaust means. Otherwise, once a crater catches fire, the whole warship will be killed in the violent explosion of ammunition.

What if it wasn't lit directly in the crater? First use high-pressure air to eject the missile, just like launching a torpedo. After leaving the crater, ignite it, so as to avoid the complex gas exhaust system perfectly?

In this way, the missile does not fly out directly, so it is called cold launch.
