Chapter 469: APG-81 Active Phased Array Radar
"Bring the computer over, and I'll look up what that APG-81 active phased array radar is. Muyang said.
Sarah took a laptop and handed it to Mu Yang, then jumped on the bed herself, sat next to Mu Yang, Mu Yang opened it and typed 'APG-81 active phased array radar' in the search bar, and a bunch of introductions were instantly displayed.
After reading a few introductions, Muyang only had one feeling that his adventure into Lockheed Martin was worth it, as long as there was this information, it was completely worth it, and it was absolutely worth it.
What exactly is the "APG-81 active phased array radar".
AN/APG-81 active phased array radar is a radar mounted on F-35 fighters, the full name is "AN/APG-81 active electric sweep phased array fire control radar (AESA)", which is the key to the tactical composition of F-35.
The radar system uses the most advanced AESA antenna, high-performance receiver/exciter, and commercial processor due to the use of the latest technological achievements, which greatly reduces the number of components and internal connectors, so the cost and weight of JSF radar are greatly reduced compared with its predecessor F-22 fighter radar, and the weight and price are reduced by about 3/5, and the manufacturing and maintenance are relatively simple.
The APG-81 has an open architecture, which provides a lot of room for future performance growth. An important principle of JSF's AESA radar design is that it must meet JSF requirements for stealth characteristics. This high-tech radar adopts a miniaturized solid-state receiving and transmitting module design, which allows the fighter to avoid the detection of enemy radar and makes the fighter more stealthy.
APG-81 is not produced by Lockheed Martin. Loma is only the general contractor of the F-35 Joint Fighter, and the APG-81 is the procurement of Northropg. Products of the Luhman company. Therefore, the information obtained by Muyang is not a complete manufacturing process manual for APG-81.
And because of this. This document is only 1.7G size, if it is really completely technical, it is estimated that there will be no tens or hundreds of G of information, you know, it is possible that one of the electronic components, it needs the support of dozens or hundreds of technologies.
However, this material is also of great value, which details the specific parameters of the APG-81 radar, the mode of operation. Technical standards, radar reconnaissance and anti-radar monitoring data, that is, this information does not tell you how to make the APG-81 radar, but how to use it.
This is equivalent to all the internal situation of the APG-81 radar, which is completely open in front of you.
Muyang believes that as long as the country has this information, it will definitely make arrangements for the radar data measurement of the APG-81 radar carrying fighters, and when the time comes. As long as the F-35 fighter is within the radar range of China, it will be judged very accurately.
In the past, if we wanted to find out the situation of the opponent's fighters, we had to use stupid methods other than to obtain information from outside. Through many contact tests, we can finally determine what kind of fighter a certain reflected radar wave is, but the result is that we have been deceived many times.
Now with this information, you will save too much trouble. And it will be more accurate, it's almost like stripping naked and dancing in front of you. Can the audience be upset?
And we can also use this information to reverse the principles and mechanisms of the APG-81 active phased array radar. Thus the principle was applied to the creation of its own radar, which was used in the combat technology of fighters.
The value of this information is no less than that of an aircraft carrier, because the US aircraft carriers are all carrying F-35 fighters, and they can not only contain American fighters, but even Japan and other countries, because the F-35 is sold to the outside world.
Although the F-22 was produced many years earlier than the F-35, its performance is more than the performance of the F-35, of course, the positioning of the two aircraft is not the same, the F-22 is an air superiority fighter, the F-35 is a multi-role fighter, and the F-35B can take off and land vertically.
However, the United States will not sell even one F-22 fighter, while the F-35 is sold to the outside world, and Japan and other countries have purchased a lot of it and used it as their most advanced weapon.
The United States itself has a procurement quota of 2,400 aircraft, gradually replacing the F-15E, F-16, F-15C, and F-117 of the US Air Force, the F-14 of the Navy, the AV-8B of the Marine Corps, the "Sea Harrier" of the British Navy, and the "Tornado" and "Harrier" of the Air Force. Other countries involved in the joint development will also be equipped with hundreds of aircraft, which will make the F35 fighter the largest and most versatile fighter.
Since 2009, countries have begun to gradually equip F-35 fighters, and as recently as early 2012, Japan put 45 F-35 fighters in place to improve its own air combat capabilities, and it is said that Japan's final procurement figure could reach 700 aircraft.
But now, this fighter has lost its stealth function in the face of China, and the value of this information can be seen.
Mu Yang found two USB disks and passed one of the information to him, he was going to hand in one copy and keep one for himself, not that he had any use, just in case.
The name of this document, Muyang is marked with the words "AN/APG-81 Active Electric Scan Phased Array Fire Control Radar (AESA)".
Put two USB disks into your pocket, and instantly enter the space.
As for the information stolen by Zhou Yuzhi, Mu Yang didn't read it at all, this is a rule that needs to be followed as an agent, and the information passed on cannot be viewed at will without permission.
Moreover, he is not much interested in that information, Zhou Yuzhi himself said, it is a complete set of data analysis model data about the F-22 fighter adjustment power system, through this information, you can even deduce and analyze the power output data and working methods of the entire F-22 fighter.
The power output data of the F-22 fighter is very valuable, but that information is a little small compared to the AN/APG-81 active electric sweep phased array fire control radar (AESA) data obtained by Muyang.
After the task was completed, Muyang was in a good mood, grabbed Sarah, looked at the little beauty and said, "My little baby Sarah has made meritorious contributions, and my brother wants to reward you." ”
"I'm going to do it."
"OK, full box, the refueler is here." Muyang smiled and pounced on Sarah.
Sarah screamed and rolled to the side, but was grabbed by Muyang and pressed under her.
The refueling worker opened the car fuel tank cap, inserted the fuel gun into the fuel tank mouth, and began to refuel hard, the numbers were jumping forward one by one, 100, 300, 500, the oil gun was still shaking because of the motor transmitting gasoline, and Sarah, a milky white sports car, kept coaxing the accelerator, and for a long time, the mailbox was finally filled.
"Do you want another tank of gas?" Mu Yang stroked Sarah's smooth skin and asked, Sarah's skin is very delicate, unlike the skin of European women, which has coarse pores.
"Do you still have stock in your oil depot?" Sarah said defiantly.
"Little girl, look down on me, I am directly connected to the oil field here, and it will never be exhausted."
"Ah......" (To be continued.) )
