If Zhuang Jianye hears the truth in Zhou Jiwei's heart, he will definitely laugh. If it's not good, it can only be said that Europe has spent so many years fighting with Soviet submarines under the Atlantic Ocean in vain.
Yes, the source of the anti submarine equipment loaded in the abdominal box of No.02 anti submarine aircraft of Tengfei Airlines is Europe.
Originally, Tengfei Airlines did not have a similar business, nor did it intend to make a name for itself in this respect. After all, now Tengfei Airlines has let Zhuang Jianye worry about themselves and build a submarine acoustic detection equipment that has nothing to do with the aerospace field. Zhuang Jianye roared from the bottom of his heart. I really can't do it.
But if Tengfei Airlines doesn't want to do it, it doesn't mean that other people don't want to have an interview here. Evans and Owen, who are far away in the Federal Republic of Germany, are going to jump into this pit to see if they can drown.
The reason for this is very simple. In zeus-3's sweeping Europe, actor aviation systems company, which quickly gained a foothold in the European aviation industry surrounded by strong enemies by the pulse production line of small aircraft, immediately took advantage of the heat and developed several improved models of zeus-3 UAVs.
Among them, the reconnaissance type and relay communication type are favored by the Bundeswehr, the French army and the Italian air force. When they were still in the research and development stage, they received 46 orders.
While Evans and Owen are overjoyed, they are ready to work on a more daring project, the science fiction full anti submarine UAV.
The reason for choosing this aircraft is that Europe, as the forefront of the cold war, has been harassed by a large number of Soviet submarine forces all the year round. Therefore, from the moment the curtain of the cold war opened, the most important task of the navies of major European powers, such as Britain, France, Germany and Italy, was anti submarine.
Not only that, with the gradual improvement of the Soviet Union's submarine quality level, the European anti submarine equipment was also updated very quickly, which resulted in the huge financial burden of European countries.
Evans and Owen just saw this and wanted to take advantage of the high cost performance of UAV platform to replace part of the aviation anti submarine force and make a wave of quick money, so they began to push this project.
With the success of several previous UAVs and the position of the core technology controller of the pulse production line of small aircraft in Europe, this concept has been warmly sought after by the major European media as soon as it was put forward.
Anti submarine warfare will enter a new era.
What can subvert the traditional anti submarine operation mode.
The terminator of some Soviet submarine.
What kind of unmanned antisubmarine vs manned submarine, science fiction film will become a reality.
Even an arrogant US media commented sourly that the anti submarine UAV of actor company will be the biggest threat to Soviet submarines in the next 15 years, and the United States seems to have lagged behind Europe in this respect.
After World War II, the sense of superiority exploded. The United States, which claims to be the best in the world, actually admitted that it was lagging behind Europe in the unmanned anti submarine aircraft. The European media, which held the glory of the former colonial empire, made a frenzied report like chicken blood. For a time, it almost blew the actor aviation systems company into outer space.
Under the media's agitation and momentum, European governments and militaries are finally unable to sit still. After understanding actor's basic concept and technical route of anti submarine UAV, the Federal German Navy and the Italian Navy signed a project research contract worth 30 million US dollars with actor's aviation system company respectively, which requires that in a year and a half, A test machine is built to evaluate the feasibility of anti submarine UAV.
With the development funds and the endorsement of the German and Italian navies, European defense suppliers have opened their doors to aviation systems companies.
The sonar of Thomson company of France, the magnetic detection system of British aerospace company, the computer of Siemens company of Germany, the communication equipment of Italian defense group, etc. are all piled on the head of air systems company.
If it was H company in the United States in those years, it might be boring to try to integrate the things of these different suppliers. However, whether Evans or Owen are compared with Linderman who has died, Liszt is still far behind. It's progress to be able to put forward a concept and make some hype. It's better to look forward to sow to go up the tree than to do integration.
What if you can't do it yourself? Of course, it's the boss behind it. Tengfei Airlines has solved it. Raytheon-3's reconnaissance type and relay communication type have both done this and achieved good results. In this case, how can unmanned anti submarine aircraft be an exception?
The younger brother pretends in the front and the elder brother in the back.
Zhuang Jianye doesn't have any opinions. Anyway, he doesn't lose money as a big brother. He earns a small sum of money and has a small technology. He really doesn't care whether he wants to force or not. If he really wants to force, he can watch the uav-8a "Plath" fly around the southwest border for two times, and then lead the artillery to blow up monkeys running all over the mountain. It's not more real than the daily force?
The problem is that there is a limit to how much money you can get from big brother. As a result, Evans and Owen smashed down a big mountain, and Zhuang Jianye couldn't even make it.
Unmanned antisubmarine aircraft!
A thing that has not been fully realized by the end of the decade of the 21st century can not be solved by the end of the 1980s unless Zhuang Jianye falls into the world as an alien.If this is normal, Evans and Owen proposed to come to Zhuang Jianye without saying a word, then they can give it No. the unmanned early warning aircraft may be more reliable than the unmanned anti submarine aircraft.
As a result, the two goods, who were crazy about money, both signed a pre research contract with the German and Italian navies, and $30 million has arrived.
At this time, if you want to cancel it, you will be in breach of contract. You should know that in western countries, it's not domestic. There are still some discussions about this kind of pre research funds. If you can't return them in full, you can do everything according to the contract in western countries. For example, if you go back on your promise, you will have to compensate a huge amount of liquidated damages of more than 10 million US dollars in addition to the 30 million principal.
Therefore, in addition to calling Evans and Owen to scold, Zhuang Jianye has no choice but to work hard to integrate the equipment of the so-called unmanned anti submarine aircraft.
However, the platform of UAV is too small to load control equipment, reconnaissance equipment, radar equipment, acoustic detection system, sonar buoy, magnetic detection system and UAV Communication System at one time.
However, this can not be said clearly, otherwise the company will face huge compensation. What should we do? Naturally, the black pot has been thrown out. The actor company is really working hard to develop and tackle all kinds of problems. But the supporting suppliers can't meet my needs. What should I do?
European suppliers know that this is the foreshadowing of actor company. They really change their products again and again according to actor company's requirements.
As a result, the anti submarine equipment in Zhuang Jianye's hands iterates very fast. Each piece of anti submarine equipment is not only very light and dexterous, but also has the same performance as the large-scale products of the same kind. Even so, it is far from being integrated into the UAV.
But at this time, the Navy's improved an-26 has been on the right track, and the navy has begun to discuss special support platforms. From Zhuang Jianye's point of view, we can't waste so many European antisubmarine equipment. We can't build an antisubmarine UAV. It's OK to be an antisubmarine system component. So we just make do with it, and we make do with a set of 02 antisubmarine abdominal boxed components Come on.
