Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudge Chapter 148 A Revolution in Technology and Tactics
The military took the opportunity to show its face, and the navy took this opportunity to sum up its experience and teach it. [No pop-up novel network]
The "Battle of Shikoku Haipan" had a huge impact on the exhibition of the Navy, and soon after the end of the naval battle. Lin Xiaolei left his job at the Navy Headquarters and rushed to the aircraft carrier battle group on a carrier-based transport plane. In person, he asked Mu Qingyun, Huanhai Gill, Zhu Jianfeng and Zhu Ronghui and others about the battle. After returning to the Navy Headquarters, he personally drafted the exhibition called "Future Navy." Because it was still in a state of war, the navy's exhibition program was temporarily shelved, and it did not arouse the great attention of Xiang Linghui, chief of the general staff.
Lin Xiaolei is definitely not the kind of person who sits back and waits for a reply.
The Croatian General Staff did not have the energy to take care of the Navy's needs, and the Navy had to act on its own.
After the capture of the Ryukyu Islands by the 6 Sentai team with the Airborne Forces. When the war eased somewhat, Lin Xiaolei personally rushed to Shanghai and conducted in-depth simulation and analysis of several scientific research projects led by the Navy using the state-level computer, including the computer model of "full-band electromagnetic protection technology." Subsequently, Lin Xiaolei used the remaining funds from the navy's military spending to start the research work of the "future electronic warfare system".
How to fight in an extremely harsh electromagnetic environment. It has become a research topic for the Navy.
The "Battle of the Sijue Sea Basin" showed that under the circumstance that "electromagnetic bombs" are in full swing, electronic equipment is fragile and difficult to play its due role in future wars. "Full-band electrical collision protection technology" is far from mature, and it is unlikely that a breakthrough will be made in the short term. If the problem of "electromagnetic interference" is not solved, all precision-guided weapons and electronic equipment will be useless.
Could it be that naval warfare is about to retreat to the age of artillery?
For Lin Xiaolei, this is definitely not a good thing. The current Navy. From warships to warplanes to all kinds of ammunition, there is no such weaponry and equipment, and if electronic equipment cannot survive on the battlefield, not only will anti-ship missiles be useless, but even the navy's various main equipment will lose its actual combat significance. For Lin Xiaolei, who dreamed of building a "big fleet", this is undoubtedly a death sentence.
It can be said that after the "Shikoku Sea Basin Naval Battle," Lin Xiaolei's main job was to determine the direction of the navy's development.
With the beginning of a full-scale strategic strike, the Navy took on new combat missions. After completing the blockade of Sagami Bay, the Navy's aircraft carrier battle group moved to the waters south of Suruga Bay to engage in strategic strikes against Japan. Although carrier-based aviation is still the main striking force of the naval fleet, Lin Xiaolei attaches more importance to the strike capability of escort warships equipped with old electromagnetic cannons. In his opinion, this is the "way of the future" of the Navy. ”
The problem of "electromagnetic interference" cannot be discarded. The only way to avoid over-reliance on electronic devices is to find a way.
With the full popularization and use of "electromagnetic bombs," quietly controlled munitions will certainly withdraw from the stage of war. This does not mean that the war has returned to the era of unguidance, and that new guidance technologies will inevitably replace traditional guidance technologies. Of all the emerging guidance technologies that have been developed successfully and are being developed. The "closed guidance system" has the most potential and is most likely to be in real combat capability within a few years.
The key technology of the "closed guidance system" is the high-precision inertial navigation equipment with the laser gyroscope as the substitute.
Inertial navigation technology is one of the first navigation technologies to be used in actual combat and with the longest history. Compared with other navigation technologies, the biggest problem with inertial navigation is that with the shift of time, the navigation accuracy will decrease sharply, and the error will spread rapidly. Although laser gyroscopes have improved the accuracy of inertial navigation by several orders of magnitude, the limitations of laser gyroscopes are still very obvious as the striking distance gets farther and farther. For example, when the firing range is a kilometer for a beater, the navigation error of the laser gyroscope is about a meter of curved meters, and some of them are even too much as a meter, which cannot meet the requirements of precision strikes. For this purpose, the Dorya guidance system retains the laser gyroscope at the same time. Guidance methods such as the four old mouths and lasers have been introduced to improve the accuracy of strikes.
Relatively speaking, the biggest advantage of the perceptual navigation system is that it does not need external information, and completely relies on the flight data of the ammunition itself to determine the flight route and complete the navigation work, that is, it can truly achieve "closed guidance" and be able to resist any type of electronic interference and electromagnetic attack!
After the end of the Korean Peninsula War, the Navy of the Republic was looking for new guidance technology.
In the past few years, the Navy has invested dozens of dollars in the theoretical research of guidance technology, and funded several scientific research units and university laboratories to find new guidance technology.
Before the outbreak of the Japanese war, the research and development of a new generation of laser gyroscopes was initially completed, and the accuracy of the knife was improved relative to the range of ammunition or the range of the platform, which was equivalent to every kilometer deviation, which was twice as accurate as that of the previous generation of laser gyroscopes. After the outbreak of the war, the Navy once again provided a huge amount of funds, requiring the relevant Shenshi units to complete the miniaturization of the new laser gyroscope as soon as possible, so that it has practical capabilities.
After the "Shikoku Sea Basin Naval Battle", the first batch of mass-produced laser gyroscopes were delivered to the Navy for inspection.
Lin Xiaolei did not delay any time, on the one hand, he used various types of inertial guided munitions to test the performance of the new laser gyroscope, and on the other hand, he made preparations for large-scale procurement. As long as the acceptance meets the planned standards, the Navy will purchase them in bulk. Lin Xiaolei was so anxious to put the new inertial guided munitions into actual combat, first, to prove the combat capability of the inertial guided munitions, and second, to prove the navy's strike capability.
Fortunately, in times of war, everything is about war.
What Lin Xiaolei didn't expect was the "National Inertial Equipment Laboratory" that developed a new type of laser gyroscope. Guilin Precision Equipment Co., Ltd., which is funded by the "Fengzhong Group" and produces new laser gyroscopes, and the subsidiaries of the "Zhongzhong Group" that specialize in manufacturing precision electronic equipment not only participate in the finalization test of the navy throughout the process. It was also promised to prepare for mass production in advance in accordance with the requirements of the Navy, and to settle settlements with the Navy after the war.
With such superior conditions, Lin Xiaolei naturally would not miss it.
After the completion of the final type test and all the indicators have met or passed the requirements of the Navy. The Xinwu laser gyroscope was officially included in the Navy's procurement list, and various new inertial munitions began to be "produced" in large quantities. Because of the modular guidance technology, it can be transformed into the world's most advanced inertial guided munition by simply replacing the relevant guidance components and control software of the old ammunition.
The cost of the new laser gyroscope is not high. It's even very cheap.
The first thing the Navy improved was not all types of missiles, but the most advanced and fairly cheap guided artillery shells.
Affected by the firing conditions, the electromagnetic cannon did not begin to be equipped with guided shells until the beginning of the blade. And it's not precision ammunition in the true sense of the word, it's just a general artillery shell with "inertial ballistic correction" with random force. That is, it is precisely inertial guided shells that are used.
Therefore, the drug work began at the beginning of the month. In the same month, a new laser rotor was installed for 10,000 electromagnetic artillery shells
Ceremony.
In early February, the naval fleet joined the strategic strike operation against targets on the Japanese mainland.
In addition to continuing to dispatch carrier-based aviation units and shore-based aviation units to cooperate with the air force, the navy's main force is a number of cruisers and destroyers equipped with concave electric guns. Just before the beginning of February, the naval fleet dropped 10,000 shells on the Shikoku Theater, the Daibu Theater, the Ise-Isuguega Theater, and the Kanto Theater, and dealt devastating blows to dozens of large and medium-sized cities.
Compared with the artillery of the 6 Army, the biggest advantage of naval warships is maneuverability and flexibility.
's cruisers and destroyers formed two "strike formations." "Shelling the depot is about a kilometer south of Tosa Shimizu Port on Shikoku Island, and the Japanese towns within the shelling area are shelled in turn.
The battle entered March, and the strike of the fleet increased significantly.
The number of warships that were not involved in strike operations increased. However, the production of new ammunition increased in February, and the Navy specially mobilized eight fast integrated supply ships to follow the operation of two strike fleets. Ammunition is always available for warships carrying out shelling missions.
Rondi, mass production of new long-range shells began.
Compared to the previous shells, the maximum effective range of the new shells has been increased to a kilometer. Because it is equipped with a new type of laser gyroscope, the deviation in the maximum range is no more than Feng Mi, and if you fire at a fixed target at the same time for several months, you can basically achieve a "precision strike".
At this time, the firepower of the fleet was already impressive.
Because the battleship has a stronger bomb-carrying capacity, the corresponding support facilities for the ship's guns are more complete. The quality of the naval artillery ammunition is far greater than that of the 6 guns of the same caliber, and the strike power of the Ran naval guns is definitely better than that of the 6 guns. Judging by the actual results, the fighters are using new ammunition when carrying out the task of continuous shelling. Its Renran projection capacity is equivalent to that of a cruiser, and its artillery projection capacity is equivalent to that of an old artillery battalion. Because it is also an electromagnetic gun, the hand, in addition to the stricter anti-corrosion technical indicators, leads to the high price of the track. Other costs are not much different from the electromagnetic guns of the 6 Army. If you look at it from the point of view of the cost of building up combat power. Because it does not need to be equipped with a separate power supply and power transmission system, the cost of using the old is much lower than that of the 6th Army.
In order to prove that the precision strikes of the naval artillery can be handled, Lin Xiaolei also arranged additional strike missions for the strike fleet in addition to the strike tasks formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, mainly targeting some point-shaped fixed targets. As long as the density of fire can be increased, naval guns are sufficient to deal with point targets and low-motion targets hundreds of kilometers away, such as warships sailing on the sea or vehicles driving on the road.
Any new technology needs to be tested before it can be applied on a large scale. Any new tactic needs to prove its effectiveness before it can be officially rolled out.
The Navy is different from the 6th Army. Any technological and tactical revolution in the history of the Navy. All of them mean that the old equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars will be eliminated, and more money needs to be invested in the purchase of new equipment. However, it is impossible to cross the river by stones like the Sixth Army and prove the actual combat capability of new technologies and tactics by establishing experimental units.
Of course, no one can change the advancement of technology.
With the advent of weapons and equipment such as "electromagnetic bombs" that are specially used against electronic equipment and their large-scale use in war, the Navy is bound to usher in the biggest technological and tactical revolution since the advent of aircraft carriers!
