The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 194 Electronic Warfare Exercise [Request for full order]

It was already mid-September 1981. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Wang Haoran and Xiao Renming's team, Longguo's first set of electronic reconnaissance and active jamming electronic warfare equipment was finally completed.

The total weight of this equipment is only 210 kilograms. Its shape is similar to that of an air-to-air missile and its weight is about the same as that of an air-to-air missile. It can be installed on a fighter jet.

Wang Haoran's electronic warfare pod project was also reported to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Guo Weiyang, head of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, also attached great importance to this topic.

Because there is a lot of pressure to reform and modernize the military nowadays.

If we want to achieve military modernization reform, we must develop and equip a large number of modern equipment.

Electronic reconnaissance equipment is absolutely a blank for the current Dragon Country.

The Jews now often send planes to harass us.

We also suffered a lot from the opponent's tricks.

There is now a huge gap between the two sides in terms of air force.

In addition to the far-outdated third-generation aircraft, there is also a lack of electronic warfare equipment.

When the Jews roamed around our doorstep, they were really unscrupulous.

Their electronic jammers will cause us great harm.

For example, they created false electromagnetic signals of a large group of incoming aircraft, allowing us to quickly launch a large number of fighter jets to respond.

When I went up to take a look, there was nothing there.

This is naked face-to-face output.

If we cannot change the current passive situation, we will become more and more passive.

After Guo Weiyang learned that Wang Haoran and Xiao Renming had developed the first set of electronic warfare equipment, he immediately went to visit with great interest.

Of course, he also brought a lot of relevant experts, mainly for acceptance.

After Guo Weiyang arrived at Wang Haoran's laboratory at Pangu Technology, he shook hands with Wang Haoran and Xiao Renming and said to Wang Haoran happily: "Comrade Haoran, Comrade Renming, you have launched another big satellite!"

"In terms of electronic warfare, we are now in a completely disadvantaged position. Let alone fighting against the two strongest forces, even against a small force, we are at a disadvantage."

"Where are your results? Let me see!"

Wang Haoran smiled and pointed to the display stand in front of him, saying, "Leader, isn't that it?"

"Let me introduce you to someone."

Guo Weiyang took a look at the electronic pod on the display stand that looked like a missile. He was surprised: "Ah?! Is this it?"

"Oh! I thought it was just a missile."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We designed it like this mainly to facilitate mounting on the aircraft."

Wang Haoran began to introduce the electronic reconnaissance/active jamming equipment in front of them to Guo Weiyang and the experts accompanying him.

"Leader, it can collect electromagnetic signals within a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, and analyze and identify enemy radar and communication signals at the same time."

"Then, it can also use electromagnetic signals of the same frequency to strongly interfere with the opponent's radar and communication signals, until it paralyzes or blinds the opponent's radar and communication equipment..."

Wang Haoran introduced the equipment in front of him in detail.

In fact, Wang Haoran and Xiao Renming are now the most powerful experts in electronic equipment in Longguo.

The experts brought by Guo Weiyang cannot be compared with the two people.

Moreover, most of the domestic radio experts are now working closely with Wang Haoran.

Of course, cooperation does not mean that they will not raise questions and issues.

After Wang Haoran finished his introduction, Xia Sizhe, a radio expert from Tsinghua University, said, "Comrade Haoran, I have a question. I wonder if I can answer it."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Of course you can talk about it! Let's brainstorm!"

“Only by accepting opinions from all sides can we strive for excellence.”

Xia Sizhe said, "I think Yusa's electronic reconnaissance aircraft is quite large."

"They use those big planes to make electronic reconnaissance aircraft."

"Their electronic warfare equipment is very large, some even weigh thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms."

"Why is our electronic warfare equipment so small?"

This is what he was questioning.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Let me explain."

"The main reason why our electronic warfare equipment is so compact is that we use the most advanced integrated circuit chips."

"This allows us to implement complex functions on integrated circuit chips."

"Now, let me disassemble this device and show it to you."

As Wang Haoran was talking, he and Xiao Renming began to personally disassemble the electronic pod they designed.

Wang Haoran explained while disassembling it.

He completely disassembled the electronics pod.

After dismantling the machine, Wang Haoran also explained the functions of each important component.

He looked at Xia Sizhe with a smile and asked, "Teacher Xia, now you can understand why our electronic warfare equipment is so small, right?"

Xia Sizhe scratched his hair, nodded and said, "You have explained it very clearly."

"But have you ever experimented with it before? What was the effect?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We just did some tests in the lab."

“Overall, the test results are very good.”

Xia Sizhe said: "We should try it on an airplane. Maybe it will be closer to practical application, right?"

Guo Weiyang said at the side: "Comrade Xia Sizhe's suggestion is not bad."

"Can we install it on a helicopter and do some testing?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Of course."

"In fact, our J-10 fighter jets have already started mass production."

"I also specifically asked Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation to leave a place for the installation on the J-10."

"Maybe, we can install it directly on the J-10?"

The J-3 has been conducting high-intensity flight tests for more than three months.

It has flown almost all over the country, even to the plateau airports in Tibet Province.

Moreover, there were no malfunctions during the three months of test flight.

After high-intensity test flights, the aircraft's performance is still very good.

The Air Force likes it very much.

Zhao Xiansheng, the head of the Air Force, kept urging Wang Haoran to mass-produce the J-10 as soon as possible.

Because the Air Force is now under tremendous pressure in many places.

It's extremely big.

They urgently need new fighter jets to defend the motherland's airspace.

Therefore, under the urging of Zhao Xiansheng, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation has started mass production of the J-10.

Two more aircraft have been produced.

Guo Weiyang smiled and nodded, saying, "I think this is a good suggestion!"

"The J-10 equipped with an electronic warfare pod can fly directly to the southeast coast to conduct tests directly on the front line."

Wang Haoran said: "Then let's just transport this electronic pod to Chang'an."

Xia Sizhe then said: "There is another question. Even if the electronic pod can be combined with the J-10, how to process the information it collects and issue attack commands?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We have already considered this. Haha!"

"We have reserved an interface so that this electronic warfare pod can be connected to the main engine of the J-10."

"Our pilot comrades can make decisions based on the prompts from the host."

Guo Weiyang nodded and said, "I knew that Haoran's considerations are always so thoughtful."

"So what? How about, Comrade Haoran, you guys take the equipment and fly to Xifei for installation first, and we will follow you later."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Of course."

So, that day Wang Haoran and Xiao Renming took a special military plane to Chang'an together.

They left in such a hurry that they barely had time to say goodbye to Lin Yaling and Xiao Lijuan in person.

After arriving at Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, the factory director Feng Mingxin naturally gave us a warm welcome.

The current Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation has basically upgraded its equipment.

Their machines and equipment have been updated.

This also greatly improves their production efficiency.

In the past, Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation could only produce a few Y-8 aircraft a year, which was already considered a remarkable achievement.

After replacing the equipment, we can now produce three to five Y-8s in a month, and it is very easy.

In addition to the Y-8, the production capacity of their flagship product, the H- series, has also been greatly increased.

Moreover, under the guidance of Wang Haoran, the H-6 has now undergone substantial upgrades and modifications.

The engine of the H-6 has now been replaced with an upgraded variable cycle engine.

Its avionics systems have also been improved.

This greatly improves the power of the H-6 and reduces fuel consumption a lot.

The range of the H-6 is only about 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers, and its combat radius is a little over 2,000 kilometers.

With this combat radius, it is really a bit shabby.

Because now, the maximum range of Jusa's B52 has reached 1.6 kilometers, and the combat radius can reach 160 to 275 kilometers. The maximum take-off weight of Daxiong's Tu-1.6 is 2 tons, the maximum range can reach kilometers, and the penetration speed can reach Mach .

Compared with these top strategic bombers, the H-6 is really far behind.

In fact, Longguo has been modifying the H-6, and its continuous improvement can be said to be exploring its limits.

But until 1980, the maximum combat radius of the H-2400 was only about kilometers.

The maximum range of the H-8, which was improved under the guidance of Wang Haoran, has reached over kilometers.

The combat radius also reaches 4000 kilometers.

This is a huge improvement.

Now, the improved H-6, officially named H-6D, has produced its first prototype.

I just flew it for the first time two days ago.

The test flight was a great success.

Its performance in all aspects has also been greatly improved.

The Air Force is very satisfied and will only wait for a period of further test flights. If there are really no problems, the H-6D will begin finalization and mass production.

Feng Mingxin can now be said to be in high spirits.

"Comrade Haoran, the day before yesterday our H-6D held its first test flight and we invited you to come. You were busy with your work and couldn't come. I really feel sorry for that."

"Haha! I didn't expect that you would bring us great news just one day later!"

"To be honest, we are too backward in terms of electronic warfare equipment."

“It would be great if we could catch up in this regard.”

Feng Mingxin said while holding Wang Haoran's hand.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I came here today specifically to make up for this shortcoming, haha!"

"The equipment will be delivered soon."

"Once it's shipped here, install it on the J-10 right away."

Feng Mingxin was still a little skeptical. He asked, "Comrade Haoran, how big is your electronic warfare pod?"

"If it's too big, it will affect the ammunition load of the fighter plane."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Not that big!"

"It's probably about the same size as a PL air-to-air missile."

Ge Xiaobing, who was standing by, was a little surprised: "No way? So small?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "It's really not that big."

"Our equipment is original and different from Jusa's."

Ge Xiaobing said: "If it is too small, won't the transmission power be insufficient? And will we be completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the opponent?"

Wang Haoran shook his finger and said, "Don't worry! There won't be such a problem."

Nearly an hour later, the electronic warfare pod was finally delivered.

Everyone gathered around.

Seeing the appearance of the equipment, Feng Mingxin and Ge Xiaobing looked at each other.

The electronic warfare equipment developed by Wang Haoran was obviously different from what they had imagined.

They were wondering, can this thing really fight against Jusa's electronic warfare aircraft?

"Everyone, don't just stand there, hurry up and install this electronic pod to the reserved space on the belly of the aircraft."

"After installing it, debug it and see how it works."

Wang Haoran greeted.

Everyone worked together to install the electronic warfare pod on the belly of a newly assembled J-10 fighter near the nose.

The installation is very simple, just lock it with the clip, and then connect the data cable, power cable, etc.

After the installation was completed, Wang Haoran glanced at Feng Mingxin and said, "How about we go up and debug it together?"

This J-10 is a two-seater version.

This two-seater version is mainly used as a trainer aircraft.

Used to train pilots.

The J-10 that is about to be mass-produced are basically single-seat versions.

Feng Mingxin nodded and said, "Okay."

The two got on the plane.

Wang Haoran is in front.

Feng Mingxin was behind.

Turn on the aircraft power and the display screen turns on.

Wang Haoran successfully connected the electronic warfare pod, an external device.

Afterwards, Wang Haoran began to test the electronic warfare pod equipment, mainly to see whether the functions of its various modules were normal, whether the information processing was accurate and fast, etc.

While debugging, Wang Haoran introduced it to Feng Mingxin.

Feng Mingxin was, of course, also listening carefully, looking at the screen while listening.

This J-10 fighter jet is still in the assembly workshop. Even if the electronic warfare equipment is turned on, it should not be able to find anything.

However, the surrounding electromagnetic waves were still discovered and captured by the electronic warfare pod, and were clearly displayed on the screen.

However, most of these frequencies are radio FM signals or civilian telegraph signals, and are considered harmless.

Feng Mingxin was very surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.

Oh my god! Isn't the ability to detect and capture electromagnetic signals too strong?

It seems that my suspicion just now was not wrong.

"Comrade Haoran, this electromagnetic signal collection capability is too strong."

"The key point is, it can actually perform analysis and identification?"

Feng Mingxin said.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Electronic warfare will become more and more brutal in the future."

"The adversary will use all kinds of false electromagnetic signals to try to interfere with us and mislead us."

"This requires our electronic warfare equipment to have the ability to accurately identify."

"This electronic warfare equipment is not just for collecting electromagnetic signals."

"It can also interfere with a certain frequency until the opponent is paralyzed!"

Feng Mingxin thought for a moment: "How do I test this?"

Wang Haoran said: "It is easy to test. Just set up a radar and place it far away, and then detect here."

"Then we can interfere with its radar signals in a targeted manner."

Feng Mingxin said: "Then let's contact the Qin Province Military Region and have them use a mechanical radar to scan us, and then we can fight back against them, how about that?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Okay! Let's give it a try!"

Feng Mingxin immediately sent someone to contact the Qin Provincial Military District.

The Qin Provincial Military District was also quite cooperative.

They called upon a large Doppler pulse radar in Qinling Mountains and began scanning the surrounding area at full power.

This radar is the product of a breakthrough in the development of pulse Doppler radar led by Wang Haoran. It has excellent performance and a certain anti-interference capability.

The person responsible for the maintenance and management of this radar is a radar soldier from a company.

Its company commander is Wei Baoguo.

Wei Baoguo received an order from his superiors to participate in an electronic warfare exercise.

What he had to fight against was the electronic warfare jamming equipment developed by Wang Haoran, the most outstanding scientist in Dragon Country.

Wei Baoguo studied radar in college.

He naturally knows about electronic warfare.

However, he actually had no idea what real electronic warfare was like.

After Wei Baoguo received the order, he naturally began to carry out his superiors' orders.

"Captain, do you think that Wang Haoran's latest equipment can really interfere with our advanced radar?" asked platoon leader Sun Lianjie.

Wei Baoguo shrugged and said, "I don't think it's very likely."

"But we also have to be careful."

"Since this is a confrontation, we have to come up with some strategies."

Sun Lianjie smiled and said, "Our radar has single pulse technology to resist interference."

"I think it may not be that easy for it to interfere with us."

The so-called single pulse anti-interference technology mainly estimates the distance, distance change rate and angle by receiving each echo signal, which makes it difficult to be interfered by electronic interference technology.

Of course, pulse Doppler radar also has the ability to counterattack. After locking onto the opponent, it can directly launch anti-radiation missiles.

Wei Baoguo immediately ordered the radar to be adjusted to a single pulse signal and then began to scan the surrounding area.

During this process, the electronic scanning signals of both parties will inevitably collide.

At this moment, on the Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's side, the towing truck had already towed the J-10 equipped with the electronic jamming pod to the open square outside.

Electronic countermeasures exercises have begun.

Of course, Wang Haoran did not let the J-10 take off. Firstly, he had never flown a plane before, and secondly, today's electronic warfare exercise was just a trial run.
