Chapter 1524

No wonder Modric has such an attitude.

As a professional officer from the Soviet era, Modric's insight is not comparable to those foreign military observers present.

In the early 1980s, marshal olgakov, the then chief of general staff of the Soviet armed forces, promoted a military reform of the Soviet army, aiming to strengthen the information construction on the basis of mechanization, so as to realize the transparency of the Soviet Army's single battlefield, so that the Soviet army can win the attack without effort.

Therefore, from then on, modular equipment and organization that could be spliced like building blocks were put on the agenda of the Soviet army and became the mainstream in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

However, field marshal olgakov's view was too novel and powerful, resulting in many ideas that could not be realized with the technical conditions at that time. In addition, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan led to tight funds and unable to bear the huge R & D expenses.

This forward-looking military reform came to an abrupt end when field marshal olgakov was removed from the post of chief of general staff of the Soviet army in 1984.

However, the reform terminated by the Soviet Union did not die out. On the contrary, it took root in the United States on the other side of the Atlantic, and finally formed the 1986 version of the military establishment plan of the United States.

Then, through a series of local military conflicts such as the invasion of Grenada and the "golden Canyon" operation in Libya, this set of military reform was refined and strengthened again; Finally, in the 1991 Gulf War, it showed the world the combat effectiveness of the US Army beyond the times.

One of the most remarkable is the flexible combat organization of the U.S. Army. There are two aircraft infantry brigades, one armored brigade is a mechanized infantry division; Two armored brigades, a motorized infantry brigade, are armored divisions or armored cavalry divisions.

That's all. The key is that these brigade combat teams and their subordinate battalion combat teams can be adjusted and organized at any time according to the battlefield situation. This is the modular organization that the US military is proud of.

Thus, when it comes to weapons and equipment, the U.S. military also hopes to achieve multiple functions for one vehicle, multiple functions for one aircraft, multiple types for one ship, and multiple effects for one bomb.

Therefore, Shrek wheeled combat vehicles run on the ground. Taking this as a platform and adding different modules, they can form infantry vehicles, anti tank assault vehicles, support howitzers, battlefield ambulances and even engineer maintenance vehicles.

With the F-35 flying in the sky, the air force, navy and marine corps one aircraft three types are absolutely unprecedented works in aircraft.

With coastal combat ships in the upper reaches of the water, more vertical engine modules can be embodied as air defense ground attack combat ships; Strengthen sonar and anti submarine weapons, that is, proper anti submarine experts; Put on the demining device, and you can concentrate on mine clearance without worry.

As for the bombing of people, it is all kinds of precision guided weapons or over the horizon attack weapons derived from mk82 aerial bomb

In a word, Americans have put modular research into their bones.

In that case, Americans can't let go of the field of UAVs. Therefore, as early as the mid-1990s, relevant American scholars put forward several ideas of modular UAVs.

That scene, like changing the head of a multifunctional screwdriver, gives the UAV a larger and broader mission boundary and tactical possibilities.

An American expert even suggested that Lockheed Martin is developing a system that can make multiple batches of UAVs have their own independent operation capabilities. Just like birds, they can spread and combine freely. After finding the target, they can inform the rear headquarters, or attack independently or in clusters according to instructions.

Moreover, such UAV can be replaced with different photoelectric probes, communication systems and killing warheads according to different sites, different tasks and different environments, forming a multi-level and multi-type modular operation mode, so as to make the future war more offensive and further reduce its own casualties.

Not to mention that, the American expert even studied it in advance at that small-scale forum. In the next 10 to 15 years, the United States can apply this seemingly sci-fi combat mode to actual combat.

At that time, the speech of the American expert touched everyone present, including Modric, who was the adjutant of the Russian military attache to the United States at that time.

What Modric didn't know at that time was that there was an anonymous heavyweight at the scene, which was Lin Guanghua, the chief engineer of China's take-off.

I don't know how others reacted. Anyway, Lin Guanghua was shocked at that time, so that the chief engineer who started from UAV was a little ashamed after listening to the speech of the American expert.

UAVs have been working for more than ten years, and more than ten models have been launched. There is such a big gap between the concept and the industry in the United States.

Is it difficult for the modular UAV with multi batch and multi task attributes?

It may be difficult for others, but it's just a little trouble for Lin Guanghua.

You know, China Tengfei has been committed to the research of UAV bee colony technology in the past decade, and is also exploring the practical application of UAV multitasking mode.

For example, China Tengfei has developed different types of warheads and strike combinations on the basis of attack series UAVs and "habi" anti radiation UAVs to prevent Israel.

At the same time, different photoelectric pods, radar pods and communication pods are specially applied on ty series UAVs to deal with different kinds of tasks.

The integration of these three is the so-called modular UAV!

Therefore, for Lin Guanghua, who studied in the United States as a visiting scholar at that time, the key is not the realized application technology, but the advanced ideas.

Unfortunately, the American expert gave Lin Guanghua a brainstorming and ideological PUA, which made Lin Guanghua feel a sense of urgency at the same time.

No way, it is the two words of the American expert that have taken root in his heart.

One sentence is: "this kind of epoch-making equipment system will certainly change the rules of the game of future war!"

The second sentence is: "the United States will equip such systems and apply them in actual combat within 10 to 15 years!"

Time waits for no man!

At that time, Lin Guanghua had these five words in his mind, and then hurriedly ended his visiting scholar trip and returned to China with this set of ideas that might change the rules of the game.

After a discussion with Zhuang Jianye, he immediately carried out research on relevant technologies in the UAV business segment under China Tengfei.

However, what Lin Guanghua didn't know was that Modric didn't report the incident to the higher authorities after returning home. The reason was very simple. Russia already had the exact information. Lockheed Martin didn't make much effort in modular UAVs. The reason was also very simple. Compared with complex aviation projects such as F-35, The profits in the simple UAV project are too low, which makes Loma feel that it is not worth investing a lot of resources.

But whether to do it or not is one thing, and whether to blow it or not is another.

Although the profit of modular UAV is low, it is high. Externally, Loma will soon master a new equipment that is enough to change the rules of the game. Loma's image in the field of military equipment immediately becomes great. It can get twice the result with half the effort, whether it is selling abroad or lobbying Capitol Hill internally.

Since the Lord doesn't worry, why should Modric, an outsider, worry? Instead, he will laugh at his shocked expression when listening to the speech. He is still too young to understand the routine of old America.

As a result, just as Modric was about to forget his memory of seven or eight years ago, Xiaoman showed him what the American expert had imagined. Do you think he was surprised or shocked?
