After selecting a supplier, it cost US$1.4 billion to launch only the first two satellites, and the entire project amounted to tens of billions of US dollars.

Back then, the second-generation navigation satellites were updated when they reached the end of their lifespan. But now, the second-generation navigation satellites have just been launched and have to be scrapped. This is a huge expense!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, the ball has been given to the Yankees, it depends on how they respond!

Wu Shengli shook his head: "No, I think they have another way, such as deciphering our Beidou navigation, and then doing the same thing."

Qin Tao reacted suddenly: "Yes! We need to investigate the R&D personnel to see if anyone in the Beidou team was instigated to rebel, or left the team to go to the United States midway, especially a certain woman..."

United States, Pentagon.

"An attack on our navigation satellites goes too far!"

"Yes, navigation satellites are too important. They are related to the battles and even the safety of our navy, land and air forces. Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem!"

Although the Americans have long been aware of this problem and have even practiced combat without the support of a satellite navigation system, it is just a drill after all. If the satellite navigation system cannot be used in daily operations, it is really inconvenient.

.

"I wonder if we could still fight without navigation satellites back then. Now, can't we be inseparable from navigation satellites?"

After hearing this complaint, countless people present smiled bitterly.

Yes, there was no need for navigation satellites back then. Therefore, when we flew there for bombing, we could only rely on inertial navigation and terrain matching. Although we could fly to the destination, the accuracy was only at the 100-meter level! After flying there, we could still

The pilot needs to determine the target and launch an attack, but now? The Jeddam bomb modified by a simple GPS kit can achieve meter-level accuracy.

Can this be compared?

With navigation satellites, it is much more convenient.

Besides, were there so many drones before? In the era of drones, if you want to know your position coordinates accurately, you have to rely on satellite navigation! No matter how accurate the inertial navigation system is, it will continue to adjust as you fly.

Increase the cumulative error, similar to that of the Global Hawk, which can fly in the sky for thirty or forty hours. If you only use inertial missiles, you will definitely not be able to find the airport when you come back!

"We must develop a new generation of navigation satellites." Mel Birnbaum said: "Only a new generation of satellite navigation systems can allow us to avoid these problems. This matter cannot be delayed."

At that time, in order to develop the first generation of navigation satellites, the project departments of the Navy and the Air Force combined and established a special Satellite Navigation and Positioning Joint Planning Office, referred to as JPO, in which Mel Birnbaum worked. Now, the gray-haired

He is about to retire, but as the top leader of the JPO, his words still carry a lot of weight.

"A new generation of satellites? We have just developed the second generation of navigation satellites. Now just because of this accident, we are going to develop the third generation? Birnbaum, do you know how much this will cost?" Youweite said.

He said, as the head of the Audit Bureau, he has to give out money. Now, where is there so much money?

Research and development requires money, and updating satellites requires money. Where can such huge funds be found?

Youweite would never agree.

"What do you think if we develop a jammer specifically to interfere with Easterners' Beidou navigation satellites? Will this be a cost-saving solution?"

Brand new navigation satellites are expensive, but jammers are much simpler.

"We can interfere, but can we enter the Beidou system? Can we imitate false signals to deceive user terminals?" Mel Birnbaum's face was serious: "How much would it cost to reach this level?

Money? Will it be cheaper than our development of a new generation of navigation satellites? Moreover, in this case, we will all go back to the past era, what’s the point?”

Although I don’t know how the Parthian Kingdom did it, doing so requires very high technology and a large amount of money to research. What they lack most is funds, and even if they research it, it will only hurt both sides.

, if they want to take advantage, they still have to research a new generation of navigation satellites!

"So, we still have to develop a new generation of navigation satellites. For our future and for our three armed forces, this is necessary!" Mel Birnbaum was the only one speaking in the audience: "We have already

We are lagging behind the Easterners in many aspects, and in the field of satellite navigation, we must not continue to lag behind!”

"Everyone, we may have other ways." At this moment, someone said: "What do you think if we can find the technicians who develop Beidou navigation satellites and instigate them to rebel?"

"How can this be?"

"Can those idiots in the CIA do it?"

Turano, who was called an idiot, stood up: "Of course we can do it, everyone, we have found a candidate!"

"Where?"

"It's in the United States!" Turano said: "This person participated in the research and development of the Beidou navigation system, and then applied for our Stanford University. She is currently studying here. As long as she is instigated by us, she will join soon.
