"Rim of the Pacific 98 is a large-scale military exercise. Although they do not invite us to observe, we still have to watch from a distance and analyze their strategies and tactics." Back in the capital Gongzhufen, Qin Tao went straight to Huang

When he met his father-in-law in the building, Wu Shengli immediately explained to Qin Tao the meaning of asking him to come back.

"If our navy wants to follow the path of aircraft carrier formations and ocean-going fleets, we must learn more from developed countries." Wu Shengli continued: "In this Rim of the Pacific exercise, the Americans sent a powerful fleet, including Carl Vinson of the Third Fleet.

The USS aircraft carrier was dispatched, there were six Los Angeles-class attack submarines, Maple Leaf Country also participated in this exercise, a total of six countries participated in this exercise, and they also used reservists to participate."

Qin Tao nodded: "Dad, what we want to observe is not only their tactics, but also their mutual cooperation. They are able to conduct joint exercises with multiple countries, mainly because their data links are compatible.

In this aspect, we are already lagging behind.”

Qin Tao mentioned an important issue: data link.

The data link originally came from the homeland air defense system. In order to form a radar network from various scattered radar stations, a large amount of data needs to be transmitted, which requires a specialized data link. For Lao Maozi, they need automation.

The air defense firepower network operates completely automatically when needed, automatically discovers targets, and automatically guides fighter aircraft to intercept. The fighter pilot only needs to control the aircraft during takeoff and landing, and can leave everything to this automated system at other times.

Data links in the West are developing rapidly. In the 1950s, in order to solve the problem of ship-aircraft coordination, the U.S. Navy decided that in addition to using simple radio guidance, it also had to establish a data link relationship between various types of carrier-based combat aircraft and surface ships.

In this way, more data can be transmitted, so the lk4 data link appeared. The early lk4 had limited functions and simple technology. It only transmitted information in one direction, and combat aircraft could only receive information.

After that, they continued to develop, just lk4, lk4a, lk4c, etc., and later lk11. After entering the 1990s, the West began to have a standard lk16 data link, which is a two-way, high-speed, confidential, and resistant

Jamming data links are used by the U.S. armed forces and NATO forces to transmit eight categories of information such as surveillance and weapons control. Now, they rely on this standard data link to transmit a large amount of information, which can meet the needs of information transmission on different platforms.

Requirements: It has large transmission capacity, high frequency hopping times and is not easily interfered with. It can form many networks in the same area. Its advanced nature is unquestionable.

What about the country? The country naturally knows the great role of data links, and is also researching tirelessly. The earliest device should be the British search radar installed on the Y8 warning aircraft. At that time, in order to transmit radar data, a domestically produced

The first-generation data link system, however, the performance of this data link is still very poor and cannot be compared with the American data link system.

In the 1990s, they purchased Lao Maozi's Su-27 and also obtained Lao Maozi's data link system. This data link was still not very good. It was just a data link for an automated interception system. The domestic data link is here.

On this basis, it is developing with difficulty.

"You are right. Now that we have early warning aircraft, the communication problem between aircraft carriers, other warships, and carrier-based aircraft is becoming more and more important." Wu Shengli said: "Our current goal is to develop the same data as the lk16

chain."

Qin Tao nodded: "If data link technology continues to develop, communication capacity and anti-interference are very important. After all, the information transmitted in the future will not only include radar data and commands, but also images and even videos. Moreover, networking must also be done

Simple."

Although the American lk16 data link is very high-end, it is not easy to build a network. This kind of network requires a central node, and it takes several days to debug each network. Let’s look at the domestic data links of later generations.

There is no central node, automatic networking, it is as simple as w, all operations are foolproof.

Qin Tao doesn't understand these things. After all, he is a shipbuilder and not an electronics person. However, he has seen all kinds of advanced equipment and he can give some high-level opinions.

At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Wu Shengli nodded: "Well, you are right. We must aim at the future direction, and the performance must be advanced. Of course, this may require professional chips. Then you, SMIC, will

Just come and do the work. By the way, do you have any other suggestions?"

The domestic chip industry has developed, which has brought great benefits to the informatization of military equipment.

Data link proposal? Qin Tao thought for a while: "We will develop laser communications in the future."

No matter how advanced the frequency hopping technology is, radio communications will be subject to interference. If we try to create interference that blocks the entire frequency band at all costs, it will be in vain. Therefore, as data link technology continues to develop, it has been developed domestically.

Laser communication transmits messages directly through lasers, and any electronic interference will be ineffective.

Of course, this technology also has great problems. Not to mention the attenuation problem in laser transmission. It is just a matter of transmitting between two flying fighters, aiming the laser heads of each other's data links at the opposite side, and receiving the message.

Not that big.

However, Qin Tao only gave advice, and it was not his responsibility to consider how to do it. Anyway, the world he came from had already implemented this technology, which showed that technical difficulties could be overcome.

Wu Shengli nodded. What Qin Tao proposed sounds very mysterious, but electromagnetic ejection and electromagnetic interception have been achieved. Of course, other things are also possible. Just work hard in this area in the future.

Qin Tao suddenly smiled: "What I said may be a bit ahead of its time. At present, as long as our relevant institutions can develop a practical data link, it will be convenient for our carrier-based early warning aircraft to communicate with motherships, aircraft, and warships.

communication is sufficient.”

There is no need to set too high requirements, otherwise it will not be developed. When the early warning aircraft is put on the ship in the future, will it have to rely on voice command?

They are both large early warning aircraft. Lao Maozi's A50 can only command a dozen fighter jets to intercept at a time, while the American E3 can command hundreds of them. This is the result of the data link.

Wu Shengli nodded: "We are currently developing this kind of data link, and it will definitely not delay our equipment."

In the past few years, domestic electronic technology has developed rapidly. If it were not supported by this foundation, it would be really difficult to develop this data link.

While the two were communicating, they were looking at the information on the exercise fleet. After the warships passed, there were aircraft.

"In this exercise, they focus on anti-submarine warfare. In addition to anti-submarine helicopters, there are also fixed-wing 3 anti-submarine aircraft and land-based P3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft." Wu Shengli said.

Obviously, this was the last exercise with the Pyramid State, and they were stimulated by 039b. After returning, they must have studied for a while, and then felt that they had a chance to win, so they organized this exercise.

Of course, the Rim of the Pacific exercise has been held every year since the 1970s. I can’t say what they are targeting. It’s just a routine exercise. In addition to the United States and Maple Leaf Country, there are also island countries, Kimchi Country, etc.

Chile even came to help and sent a frigate to participate.

There are six countries participating in the exercise. They have different militaries and different systems. Through the exercise, they can communicate with each other, learn from each other's skills, and learn from each other's strengths, which is of great benefit to improving their combat effectiveness.

As for our own side, we can only be spectators.

Looking at the photos of the P3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft that appeared in the information, Wu Shengli sighed again: "This large anti-submarine patrol aircraft is the main combat aircraft of the US Navy. It has a huge body and can carry a large number of sonar buoys and torpedoes for anti-submarine searches.

, positioning attacks, etc., its cruise time is as high as more than 20 hours, and it is the most suitable anti-submarine aircraft. Currently, we do not have such an aircraft."

"We don't have it now, but we will have it in the future." Qin Tao said: "Currently we are transforming the Yun-8. Because the transformation is so extensive, we even named it the Yun-9. This aircraft is currently planned to be used as a platform for early warning aircraft.

, it can also be used as a platform for other aircraft, whether it is electronic warfare or anti-submarine warfare, it is fully capable."

The U.S. Navy has P3, and we have Yunjiu, a high-tech Yunjiu aircraft that can be used as a modification for various platforms.

Qin Tao had already planned it.

Wu Shengli's eyes lit up: "Yes, it is indeed time for our navy to make this kind of modification. We not only need anti-submarine helicopters, but also fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft!"

It was originally planned to develop a fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft on this kind of airframe platform after the Air Police 600 matures and the engine supply is stable. However, this must take into account the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft. The airframe will not be particularly large, and land-based ones will

It’s different. Modifying an anti-submarine aircraft on the basis of Yunjiu is the best choice. In recent years, domestic electronic technology has advanced rapidly, which has also created good conditions for modification.

Wu Shengli has already nodded. He is looking forward to the emergence of this new fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft. After all, the anti-submarine capability of our own navy is still quite weak and must be strengthened.

"Report, I just received a speech from the commander of the exercise unit." At this moment, the adjutant came over and said.

"Well, put it out and let us take a look."

A foreign figure appeared on the big screen. He had a straight military uniform and a serious look.

"Achikelemings." Wu Shengli said: "Last year, he visited us. At that time, he said that anti-submarine was their first task. It can be seen that he is also self-aware. The people on the other side of the Mediterranean

The exercise fully illustrates this point."

Qin Tao smiled: "Anti-submarine? They don't take our surface ships seriously, right? Air defense is not important? Anti-missile is not important? Are they not afraid of our supersonic anti-ship missiles and anti-ship ballistic missiles?"

Eastern submarines have been very weak for a long time. Those old 033 submarines cannot be hidden at all. The 091 nuclear submarine is also an underwater tractor. In that era, Americans certainly did not pay attention to anti-submarine warfare.

When Dongfang began to purchase Kilo-class submarines, all this changed. For the first time, Dongfang had modern underwater power. After that, the 039b came out, and its advanced performance shocked them all. Then they started

Pay attention to anti-submarine.

Submarines for foreign trade are so awesome, and those for personal use are even more advanced! Conventional diesel-electric submarines have been equipped with AP systems and have become underwater killers, not to mention advanced nuclear-powered submarines. When the 095 submarine comes out, those guys will have to

shocked.

However, the Type 095 submarine is only a drizzle. The surface fleet of the East is also rapidly expanding, and it has a series of trump cards. The United States has always ignored any of them.

"Currently, information technology is developing rapidly. As we are about to enter the 21st century, we need to integrate our troops and our allies into the network, not only voice, but also video and data transmission.

Wait, anyone can connect to the regular network through any computer, so that our soldiers can exchange all kinds of information! We call it t21, which is the 21st century information technology plan, and we call this plan Gebai

Nigeria. This Rim of the Pacific 98 exercise is part of testing this plan."

Speaking of this, Archik Lamings gushed: "For this exercise, we specially upgraded the USS Colorado, which is the most advanced and most informatized warship in the world. This warship has 200

Multiple Pentium 200 computers form a local area network through optical fiber, and can also access the international Internet through satellite communications."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Pfft!

When he heard this, Qin Tao almost laughed.

"The Colorado is a specialized command and control ship of the Third Fleet of the Pacific Fleet. It is also the warship that serves as the overall commander and coordinator of the entire exercise. Its level of informationization is indeed first-rate. What's wrong? Taozi, you seem to be dismissive of this warship?

"Wu Shengli was a little curious.

Qin Tao smiled: "No, I just thought of our dragon core."

The emergence of computers and the Internet means that we have entered the information age. This is the perception of many people. However, just with the Pentium 200 computer, do you think it is awesome?

Pentium 200 computer refers to Pentium, 200 MHz, and the price is not cheap. A set of such a computer costs seven to eight thousand. If it is a brand-name computer, it will be well over ten thousand.

Look at the current Loongson-2, the frequency is twice as high as theirs. By the time of Loongson-3, the frequency can reach the gz level. Calculating based on time, when one's own aircraft carrier is outfitted, the Loongson-3 can be completely

With computers inserted into it, America's oldest and most advanced information technology command ship has become completely outdated.

The main frequency of computer processors needs to be further developed. It will not be sufficient until it reaches 2gz. Although it will continue to improve in the pursuit of main frequency in the future, it has no meaning anymore. It is just used to set world records and will change later.

When it comes to multi-cores, compared to the increase in frequency, the multi-functional computing capabilities brought by multi-cores will be more important.

At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, everyone was thoughtful. Americans' general-purpose processors have fallen behind, and our own Loongson has taken off.

The development of civilian electronic technology will promote military use, and even civilian electronics will be directly used for military use.
