Chapter 076 Taner Show-2

The Air Warfare Center conducted the second phase of follow-up combat testing and evaluation to further test AMRAAM’s combat capabilities.

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

Compared with the AIM-7 Sparrow missile, the AMRAAM missile's diameter is reduced by 12.5%, from 8 inches to 7 inches, its wingspan is reduced by 47.5%, and its weight is reduced by 32%.

A rough estimate is that the resistance of AMRAAM missiles is 30% lower than that of Sparrow missiles.

AMRAAM uses a titanium alloy front projectile and a steel rear projectile shell to adapt to aerodynamic heating and large overload requirements. It has the characteristics of low resistance and light weight, and has higher speed and greater maneuverability than the "Sparrow" missile. overload.

The guidance system of the AMRAAM missile mainly consists of a high-power transmitter, a receiver, a low-side lobe antenna and its servo mechanism, an inertial reference device and electronic components.

Designers used advanced technologies such as microelectronics at the time to miniaturize the system and made some innovative designs.

For example, hybrid thin film microwave integrated circuit technology is used to sandwich the radio frequency processor of the radar receiver in the middle of the flat slot array antenna to eliminate the "waveguide effect" of all microwaves in the receiver, while reducing the weight, cost and complexity of the receiver. degree.

The guidance system adopts a composite guidance that combines inertial mid-range guidance and I-band (8-10GHz) active radar terminal guidance, which increases the maximum launch distance of the missile and the release distance of the carrier aircraft, and enables the missile to have multi-target attack and "launch and forget" capabilities. ability.

The process in which the system is in equilibrium at every moment is called a quasi-static process or a quasi-equilibrium process.

If a process can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions, and during the reverse process, all the states the system passes through are the same as those experienced by the forward process, but in reverse order.

And at each step, the influence of the positive process on the outside is eliminated, and the original process is called a reversible process.

If no matter what method is used, the influence of the positive process on the outside world cannot be eliminated, the original process is called an irreversible process.

In fact, a quasi-static process without frictional resistance and other losses must be a reversible process.

For example, the ideal gas in the cylinder completes a quasi-static isothermal expansion process under the action of the piston. During the process, the gas does work on the outside world and absorbs heat from the constant-temperature heat source at the same time, which are W and Q respectively.

The missile has four guidance modes: mid-course command inertial navigation and terminal active radar guidance, mid-course inertial navigation and terminal active radar guidance, active radar guidance and radar jamming homing.

A high pulse repetition frequency is used to measure speed at a longer distance in the terminal section to increase the interception distance of the seeker. When looking down at low altitude or at close range, a medium pulse repetition frequency is used to improve the resolution of the target and the ability to look down at low altitude. .

The flight control system of the AMRAAM missile uses an adaptive gain control autopilot and four independently controlled electric servos.

The electric steering gear is powered by three lithium-thermite battery packs, the transmission mechanism is a ball screw reducer, and the DC brushless integral 4-pole motor is controlled by a pulse width modulation electronic component.

The power system of the AMRAAM missile uses a low-smoke, dual-thrust, high-total-impulse solid rocket motor to achieve a longer range than the AIM-7M Sparrow missile.

Less engine exhaust smoke reduces the chance of an enemy detecting a missile launch or approaching and taking evasive action.

The boost-cruise single-chamber dual-thrust scheme can first use large thrust to quickly propel the missile to the maximum speed Ma=4 after the missile is ignited, and then use small thrust to cruise to meet the range and terminal maneuverability requirements of the medium-range missile.

The engine uses wall-molded HTPB propellant. Its length is 0.57m longer than the engine of the "Sparrow" missile, which greatly increases the charge amount and brings the total impulse to 104kN·s to ensure the high speed and long range of the missile. .

The AMRAAM missile uses an active radar proximity fuze and has four antennas to engage a variety of targets, including fighters, bombers and cruise missiles, under all possible terminal encounter conditions.

AMRAAM uses a high-explosive prefabricated fragmentation warhead, weighing 22kg. It is smaller in size and weight than the "Sparrow" missile, but more powerful.

This warhead, combined with a high-precision guidance system and optimal delay fuze, has a high probability of killing.

The missile's manufacturer is constantly upgrading the AIM-120's hardware and software systems, putting the development of the entire missile in an open spiral stage.

The AIM-120C-5 missile has the large off-axis angle launch capability HOBS that the former does not have.

HOBS technology allows the missile to break through the direction adjustment limitations of the seeker gimbal and fly to the target at a larger off-axis angle.

Another modification that followed the production line in the second half of 2004 was the AIM-120C-7. Due to the adoption of a compact guidance system, the length of the guidance module was shortened by 15 cm, allowing the missile to be replaced with one Rocket engines with longer length and greater thrust greatly improve flight maneuverability and effective range.

The updated AIM-120C-8 came from behind the scenes in early 2005.

This Navy-led upgrade plan aims to improve the AIM-120's ability to suppress long-range air targets and will add a fourth member to the AMRAAM family - AIM-4D.

The AIM-120D will be equipped with a two-way data link to better communicate with the AESA radar.

In addition, the missile's range will also be greatly improved compared to the AIM-120C.

According to the scheduled plan, AIM-120D began small batch production in 2006 and was equipped with the Naval Aviation Force in 2008.

......

Ten consecutive rounds of AIM-120B air-to-air missiles hit the tank one after another, and nearly 220 kilograms of high explosives hit the tank simultaneously, but for Taner, there was no pressure at all.

Faced with this reality, the pilot suddenly collapsed and began to pursue Taner.

However, Tan'er knew that he could not catch up with those iron birds, so he carried the machine gun and roared towards the two bases.

At this time, the Patriot series of surface-to-air missiles in the base finally came online.

But before the missiles could fly out of the launch pad, Taner launched an attack on them. He used his Metal Dragon talent to extend the metal spines on the dragon wings and flap the dragon wings at the base.

The metal spikes on the dragon wings immediately followed the airflow and were thrown towards the base. Thousands of "javelins" with a length of more than one meter fell from the sky. With the inertia of pressure, they directly penetrated the Patriot system, the cement ceiling of the building, and the airport runway. and so on, forming a top-attack attack, causing a large number of casualties.

As we all know, roof attacks are very fatal to buildings, although this string did not explode.

But the influence and danger produced by Tan'er's retracting the string, launching it, retracting it, launching it again, and retracting it are no different than an explosion.

After Tan'er used his last shot to knock down these pesky birds, he began to land on the ground. When he was about to enjoy it, he received a warning to retreat.

Tan'er hesitated again and again, but decided to retreat. Before leaving, he chewed a few "flower shells" (tanks) and left.

When the bald man and the mage arrived in Washington, it was already too late. Taner had already disappeared and went back.

What was left behind were huge shell craters and large areas of ruins.
