Chapter 1359 Acupuncture Point Attack
"Fire support ship", a very distinctive and high EQ name.
In reality, it means moving four groups of rocket launchers onto a frigate in the absence of any firepower support from the other side to see if they can get close enough to bombard the beachhead of an imaginary enemy.
Although it does sound a bit green, it is after all a specially designed naval weapon and a professional frigate platform.
It's better than directly moving army artillery onto civilian ships in the 90s.
Of course, it just looks decent.
The accuracy of rocket launchers is relatively poor, and they are installed on unstable ships. Long-range shooting cannot effectively control the impact point, and close-range shooting has to face the enemy's shore fire defense.
Coupled with the two major flaws of low charge ratio and poor firepower sustainability, its combat effectiveness is really mediocre. Both the surface ship units providing support and the supported landing forces feel that this thing is not very reliable.
The same modification plan only left the 516 ship.
The technical issues ended here, but it was a tough time for the navy and fleet training departments.
This ship is neither a frigate nor a landing ship, so no matter which training and assessment standards are used, it is not suitable, and it is unlikely that a set of outlines will be specially written for it.
If we retire it directly, it seems a bit of a waste since it has only been renovated for a few years.
In short, everything feels awkward.
Now being able to shine in the field of technology verification is a good destination.
Although Han Chenfeng felt that the ship was a bit small, it was just a test after all, and it was impossible to really install a 3*3 ship to match the Demain class. In addition, the electromagnetic gun had the advantage of adaptability, so it was completely acceptable.
……
After everything is ready, the next step is the long and boring research and development work -
The "Xuanniao" verification platform needs to be completed, the Dongfeng 16, which is the power stage of the former, needs to be tested, and the magnetohydrodynamic power generation technology needs to be further promoted for engineering demonstration...
When the preliminary design of the hypersonic aircraft was transferred to the factory of the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation for preparation for production, autumn had already turned into winter.
The test launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2008.
As a national weapon, the testing of hypersonic weapons certainly cannot be determined by a simple meeting between the design team and users like ordinary equipment, and there has been no precedent for testing similar weapons in the past.
Therefore, after simply spending New Year's Day with his family, Chang Haonan quickly set off for the northwest to inspect the preparations for the Dingxin Base and the Second Artillery Effects Test Range.
Even though he was mentally prepared, the winter in the Gobi Desert still made Chang Haonan a little uncomfortable to adapt to as he hadn't returned to the Northeast for many years.
Fortunately, after the helicopter landed and stopped, Xing Muchun, who had been waiting next to the helipad, immediately came forward and handed him a military coat.
The former had arrived here a month ago and was fully responsible for directing the on-site work of the test launch.
"This winter's climate is indeed abnormal. I heard that more than 20 provinces and regions have reported severe low temperatures, rain, snow, and freezing conditions, even in southern provinces such as Guangdong and Guangxi..."
Xing Muchun took the opportunity to find a topic related to the weather as a way to warm up the atmosphere after the meeting.
It is only the beginning of January 2008, and most people, especially those living in the north, have not yet realized the severity of the disaster, so there is no particularly serious atmosphere.
In fact, they probably didn’t even have a chance to realize it.
A technician from the base's meteorological department interrupted:
"Fortunately, our Environmental Disaster Reduction No. 1 satellite team observed the abnormal atmospheric circulation in the middle and high latitudes of Eurasia in advance, and predicted that the cold air from the north and the warm and humid air from the Indian Ocean would converge in southern and eastern China, so we carried out some response work in advance. Otherwise, it would have caused even more incalculable losses..."
Environmental Disaster Reduction No. 03, the first product of the package of aerospace cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia, consists of two multi-band optical satellites and one synthetic aperture radar satellite. It can obtain remote sensing data from the stratosphere to the shallow underground, and transmit it in real time by the Qingluan constellation to the Yuyang Remote Sensing Center for analysis and processing.
Although this type of satellite obviously has other deeper functions, from the perspective of international visibility and responsibility to partners, the observation channel is used for its primary function first.
It also successfully helped many provinces and regions withstand the first wave of abnormal climate.
Chang Haonan shook off the snowflakes that fell on his arms:
"Before I came here, I specifically looked for comrades from the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters. They said that the problems in various places and along the railways are not serious, and they can even allocate some resources to provide us with assistance..."
Xing Muchun smiled and shook his head:
"That's not necessary... Old Xing is from the aerospace industry after all, and has seen too many things like bad weather, so it won't affect the progress."
"So much the better……"
"..."
As they were talking, the group had already boarded the car and arrived at the underground base that had been converted into a warehouse.
Still in the conference room, Xing Muchun stood in front of the big screen and began to introduce Chang Haonan to the preparations so far:
"Just yesterday, the DF-16 missile completed its third test launch, confirming that all subsystems were working properly and could provide sufficient separation height and speed for our 'Xuanniao' verification platform... In addition, comrades from the 810th Brigade of the Second Artillery Corps also completed the theoretical learning tasks before the subsequent test launches in advance, and scored 100 points three times and 95 points once in the simulated rapid mobile launch mission assessment."
Chang Haonan raised his eyebrows and showed a somewhat surprised expression.
To be honest, after several rounds of wind tunnel testing, he is already quite confident about the performance of the Xuanniao verification platform itself.
But at the same time, we have also gained a new understanding of the complexity of trajectory planning for gliding waveriders.
Unless artificial intelligence technology is considered, it is almost impossible to quickly plan shooting parameters with "fool-style" interactive logic.
Before this trip, he had even made mental preparations. If the user could not meet the requirements, he would consider reducing the flexibility of the mission and preset several main targets before the missile left the factory. At that time, he would only need to consider the coordinates of the launch position before launch.
But the learning ability of the Second Artillery officers and soldiers was indeed far beyond his expectations.
Liang Yangang, who was sitting opposite, also felt Chang Haonan's gaze and involuntarily straightened his back a little more.
After a brief pause, Xing Muchun switched to another picture.
It is a diagram of a building structure.
And it can be seen that it is an underground building.
"According to your request, the Second Artillery Effects Range has built a simulated underground command post in the third target area, including a fully restored protection system and command and dispatch system, a scaled-down support and supply system, and a damage assessment system for each of the three. It has three floors and a total area of 6000 square meters..."
The Xuanniao aircraft itself does not have a special ground-penetrating design, but its touchdown speed of more than Mach 10 combined with the high-strength and high-hardness nose cone gives it considerable penetration capability.
The superiors wanted to find out whether they could directly penetrate the 30-meter-deep reinforced bunker based on the original design.
If that doesn't work, then consider upgrading the warhead later.
Chang Haonan nodded with satisfaction, and then noticed that there seemed to be another model about a few hundred meters away from the bunker on the bird's-eye view.
Xing Muchun didn't mention it just now.
"What's that in the northeast?"
he asked casually.
Xing Muchun did not speak immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Wang Hongrang, who was sitting at the end of the conference table.
"Report to Academician Chang, this is another typical target we are building simultaneously, for..."
He exchanged a glance with Qiu Yijun next to him:
"Reinforced concrete cover used to simulate a missile silo..."
