Chapter 314 Imitation Radar

The rectangular air intake, double-engine double-sided tail, and a bubble-type cockpit, is so beautiful, full of power and beauty.

F-15! This is an American F-15 fighter jet!

"The Island Self-Defense Force has four F-15 fighter jets in existence, three of which were towed back to Moscow, and this one was placed here and we are responsible for the research," said Grishen.

When the East and West Germany merged, the Americans obtained the MiG-29 fighter from East and West without any effort. This Soviet front-line fighter took off its coat in the Western Front and was naked for research in the West. I wonder how many people in the Migoyang Design Bureau all had their roots in their minds.

Now, it is the Americans' turn to be depressed, and their most advanced third-generation aircraft have been obtained by our side! After this research, we will be more confident in fighting against American fighters in air combat!

The radar cover on the nose has been removed, and you can see the radar antenna in the gap on the flat plate above. Andre couldn't help but walk over quickly and carefully observe the f-15.

"The first thing we have to do is reverse mapping and imitate the airborne radar of the F-15." Andrei looked at the flat-shaped radar antenna with love and said excitedly.

The Soviet Union's electronic technology was backward and did not overcome the difficulties of flat-slit gap radar until it disintegrated. As a heavy fighter, the Su-27 was originally planned to load flat-slit gap radar, but it turned into a big and thick reverse card, becoming a one-ton behemoth out of thin air. The repeated improvements of the Su-27 afterwards almost all came around this thing.

Now, the test flight of the T-10 has not started yet, and the difficulties in history will not reappear!

"Yes, our Oe Factory's main task at this stage is to survey and map and imitate the airborne electronic equipment of the F-15, and the radar is the focus." Ohashi Eitaro said: "Although our Mitsubishi Heavy Industries assembled the F-4 fighter, the airborne radar on it also introduces a full set of American products. The current F-15 was originally planned to be introduced and produced, and radar equipment also needs to be imported, but we already have various parameter files. Radar is related to the performance of the fighter. We can no longer obtain any advanced technology from the United States in the future, so we can only develop it ourselves. All our technicians are concentrating on their efforts and have overcome the difficulties in manufacturing radar antennas."

Radar antenna! The most important one of the AG-63 radars used by the US F-15 fighter is the flat-slit gap radar antenna. This antenna opens cracks on the wide or narrow sides of the waveguide, and is properly arranged to form a linear or surface array to meet the requirements of various antenna applications. This method has the significant advantages of high gain, easy to control the diameter distribution, and compact structure. Among them, the standing wave array with a wide edge of the waveguide, that is, a flat-slit gap antenna, also has the characteristics of small losses, light weight, large power capacity, high polarization purity, and large mechanical strength. These advantages make the United States, which attaches importance to electronic technology, first used fire control radars on fighters, missile guidance head antennas, etc.

The Soviet Union's radar was large and thick, with extremely high power, but its real usage rate was quite low. Among them, the inefficiency of the radar antenna was an important aspect, and most of it became heat dissipation! Although the Soviet Union wanted to overcome the difficulties of flat-slit radars, it was full of difficulties.

The most important ones are materials and precision processing technology! These technologies were originally impossible for the Soviet Union to obtain from the West.

"Great!" Hearing this, Andre was extremely happy. He naturally knew what this meant. As long as the manufacturing difficulties of radar antennas were overcome, the island country's electronic technology level, the subsequent processing system and other components could also be overcome one by one. In this way, it would just catch up with the development progress of Su-27!

The Soviet electronic technology will see a blowout improvement because of the island countries’ rewards! After catching up in electronic technology, let’s see how the Americans confront the Soviet Union in military terms!

"Once this radar is developed successfully, we will equip our fighter jets and simultaneously export them to our friends. In the future, we can also consider technical output and directly produce these radars in Moscow." said Eitaro Ohashi.

This is almost certain. After all, some of the research and development of this radar were Soviet personnel. If the research and development was successful, the Soviet Union would also master the technology simultaneously. However, the processing level in the Soviet Union was insufficient. If it was produced in the Soviet Union, it would need to introduce mechanical processing equipment. How to calculate costs and profits at that time is not something Andre can worry about.

Moreover, the Soviet future fighter jets and radar systems must not rely on the island countries' factories. If the island people have any bad intentions, they will cheat the Soviet aviation army at that time.

"Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is also quite advanced in the development of phased array radars. They are overcoming the difficulties of the t/r component of the active phased array radar." Grishen said: "We are also joining in and striving to develop more advanced active phased array radars as soon as possible."

Although the Soviet Union already had airborne phased array radar, it was the passive phased array radar with ferrite phase shifters, and the new active phased array radar are the direction of the future! In this regard, the foresight of the island state-owned technology, with the cooperation of Soviet experts, jointly overcome technical difficulties.

"We have developed radar development and are working tirelessly, and there is another team that is studying the engine of the f-15 fighter jet." Ohashi Eitaro said: "But the f-15 engine is not mature now and faces too many problems. Last time, it was due to engine failure that caused a large-scale grounding of American aircraft."

Engine! In fact, the Soviet Union's pursuit of engines was not as urgent as avionics, because the Soviet Union was not outdated in engine development. However, the Soviet engine technology was still flawed, such as its service life, which was far from the Western level. Studying Western engines was still helpful for the Soviet Union to master more cutting-edge engine technology.

The f100 engine is still facing various reliability problems. If it weren't for the large-scale grounding of the F-15 last time, Americans would definitely not have been so easy to admit defeat!

Wait, if the island people conquer these technologies, and there is still one remaining body, it means that the island countries have the ability to independently develop and produce fighter jets? Thinking of this, Andre immediately felt a warning in his heart.

Although we need to use the technology of the island country now, we must never cultivate the island country into a military power!
