Chapter 074 Christine

The Navy developed the AIM-1950 Sparrow medium-range missile in the 7s.

The AIM-7 has an effective range of about 36 kilometers and uses semi-active radar guidance to attack air targets from within visual range to beyond visual range.

The AIM-7, along with the infrared-homing AIM-9 Sidewinder, replaced the radar- and infrared-homing AIM-4 missiles in service at the time.

However, its disadvantage is that it can only attack one target at the same time, and the fighter aircraft must continue to point in the direction of the enemy aircraft after launching it, which brings great trouble and danger to the fighters providing fire control information.

Shortly after the Vietnam War ended in 1975, the Department of Defense established a research team composed of air and naval pilots and maintenance logistics personnel with actual combat experience.

The research team spent more than a year in total, focusing on the actual combat problems encountered when the two sides' aircraft were fighting on the Vietnam battlefield, mainly the flaws exposed by the AIM-7 "Sparrow" missile in actual combat, as well as various possible problems that may arise in the next thirty years. Air threats are discussed and studied extensively and in depth.

The research results believe that threats to fighter aircraft come from various targets flying at subsonic to Mach 3 speeds in the range from sea level to tropospheric altitude, and recommend that attacks be carried out in the mid-range range.

Because most targets are in the area of ​​5 to 74km, outside these areas, closer and farther targets can be left to other missiles and cannons to deal with, so the concept of Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile - AMRAAM was accepted .

In September 1976, the group issued "multi-service joint operations requirements" for advanced air-to-air missiles.

This Joint Operational Requirement clearly articulates the actual needs of the warfighting component.

The military’s operational requirements for advanced air-to-air missiles can be summarized as:

1. When the missile engages a target, it can destroy the target under any weather conditions and any electronic interference environment during the entire life cycle of the missile system, that is, it has a high probability of killing.

2. The missile must be simple and convenient to use and adaptable to a variety of fighters.

3. The missile can find its target independently after leaving the carrier aircraft, without the need for long-term exposure from the carrier aircraft, that is, it has the ability to "launch and forget".

4. The missile and its auxiliary systems must be reliable and easy to maintain. They should remain intact for many years in inventory and be able to withstand the test of harsh loading environments, including salt water corrosion at sea and the environment of engine combustion products. Performance intact.

5. The missile should be small in size and light in weight, which can increase the bomb load of the carrier aircraft in one combat flight.

6. The missile must be fast and be able to hit the target quickly.

7. The cost of the missile system should be quite low.

From 1976 to 1978, five groups/companies, including Ford Aerospace/Marconi Defense, General Dynamics, Hughes, Northrop/Motorola, and Raytheon/McDonnell Douglas, participated in the program bidding. Comparative studies on lethality, performance, firepower, reliability/maintainability, etc. have been conducted extensively.

In the end, Hughes and Raytheon won.

From 1979 to 1981, Hughes and Raytheon each received 33-month AMRAAM development contracts.

At this stage, the flight prototypes of both companies must be tested and evaluated against the "multi-service joint operations requirements".

1981年至1989年，休斯公司于1981年12月获得为期54个月的研制合同。

In addition to the need to develop new launchers, the early stage of this phase is basically an improvement and improvement period of engineering design, and it is planned to manufacture 99 test missiles.

In January 1985, the Air Force, Navy, and Hughes Company began to reorganize the plan and extended the full-scale development phase to 1 months, but it actually took 79 months, and the number of test missiles was increased to 85, and finally 122 were produced.

1984年12月至1989年1月，使用94枚制导试验弹以及6枚分离控制试验弹。

A total of 79 development tests and qualifications and 21 initial operational tests and qualifications were conducted.

Of the 75 recorded missile launches, 58 were successful, 19 of which directly hit the target, with a launch success rate of 77%.

From February 1990 to May 2, the Air Force Combat Test and Evaluation Center conducted the first phase of subsequent combat test and evaluation.

1991年1月至7月，海军从F/A-18C/D飞机上发射了6枚第2生产批的AIM-120A导弹。

From June 1993 to March 6, the Air Warfare Center conducted the second phase of follow-up combat testing and evaluation to further test the AMRAAM's combat capabilities.

These tests are used to determine the missile's operational effectiveness and suitability in real tactical environments.

After reaching the final state, if the piston is slowly moved in the reverse direction to complete the quasi-static isothermal compression process, the process will proceed step by step along the state experienced by the original process.

It's just that the direction is opposite, and at each step, the outside world does work on the system and the system releases heat to the constant temperature heat source.

They are exactly equal to the work done by the system and the heat absorbed from the heat source during the positive process, and eliminate all the external influences of the original process.

This shows that the quasi-static process without friction and other losses is a reversible process.

However, the shooting down scene that everyone imagined did not happen.

Through the third talent of his metal dragon - metal transmutation, Tan'er transformed himself into a spherical umbrella-shaped Tan'er, and withstand the impact of 120 kilograms of high explosive from ten consecutive rounds of AIM-22B air-to-air missiles.

The missile hit, but the enemy was fine. This reality immediately made the pilot crazy and began to pursue Tan Er.

Knowing that he could not catch up with those iron birds, Taner carried the cannon and fought towards the two bases. At this time, the surface-to-air missile Patriot in the base finally came online.

......

"Panic, I think my reaction should be panic."

Christine was taken aback and said, "I mean your company's recent relationship with a tragic incident."

Tony didn't listen and continued to act stupid, trying to change the topic and let Christine go.

"Yeah, they extended me an invitation. I don't know what I can say."

In this regard, Christine, who saw Tony's thoughts, naturally sneered and said, "I really almost believed it."

Seeing that he couldn't continue, Tony had no choice but to excuse himself, "I've been out for several months and haven't you heard anything?"

Christine curled her lips, she was speechless to Tony. She said, "Is this what you mean by being responsible?"

"This place is called Comilla, have you heard of it?"

With that said, Christine took out the photo from her arms and handed it to Tony.

Tony, who took the photo, was stunned when he saw the tragic scene above. When he saw the Stark arms logo on the back photo, Tony suppressed his anger and said.

"When was this filmed?"

Christine: "Yesterday!"

yesterday?

Tony shook his head in relief and said, "I didn't give permission for transportation."

Christine: "Your company allows it."

Tony understood something immediately and gritted his teeth and said, "I am not my company."
