Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 130

“Jaewoo Defense is selected as the developer of our military’s next tracked infantry fighting vehicle.”

June 2005.

As historically, the developer of K21 was decided to be Jawoo Defense.

In addition, the power pack business for the K2 tank was also taken over by Jaewoo Heavy Industries and Thales.

For a while, it became an inseparable relationship with Hyeonu Rotem due to the K2 development problem.

“Thank you, Chairman Jin.”

Taemin Jeong, chairman of Hyeonwoo Group, reached out to me with an expression that he had won thousands and thousands of horses.

After all, if you look at it, thousands and thousands are not right.

As long as I’m involved, errors in the development of the K2 tank will be avoided as much as possible.

However, a few days ago, Hyeonu had proposed cooperation in other areas including various control equipment. Perhaps because of the technology that Jaewoo has shown, Chairman Jung has been taking an active attitude like that since then.

“I would like to thank you.”

We are the Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

Ah! Come to think of it, the establishment date was about a year earlier than the history.

After all, it makes no sense to say that there is no reform in the field of procurement in a situation where military reform has been pushed back several years.

Anyway, for that reason, Chairman Chung and I continued to exchange opinions on the development process at the recently established Defense Acquisition Program Administration.

The biggest issue is the power pack.

Throughout the conversation, the topic he made the most of was time.

“You set the completion date of the power pack development to be 3 years, is that possible?”

“It is quite possible.”

Chairman Jung stared blankly at me as I answered confidently.

Of course he wouldn’t believe what I was saying as he was the one who knew better than anyone when it came to engines and transmissions.

However, in the case of engines, prototypes already exist.

In addition, the transmission is also in the process of technology transfer, so there is no reason to take time as it is no longer a difficult obstacle to overcome as in history.

“I don’t know how this is possible, but if we can provide the power pack as early as Jaewoo does, the overall development schedule of XK2 will be greatly accelerated.”

Even if he said that, he didn’t believe it in the end.

However, I am not able to explain it one by one.

I just smiled back and turned around.

“Chairman Jeong Tae-min’s attitude is more surprising than you think?”

After that, on the way out of the Office of Defense.

Defense representative Kang threw out random words to me.

I looked up to see what it meant, and he glanced at Chairman Jeong who was on the other side and continued his speech.

“Honestly, as Chairman Jeong Tae-min, there is no reason to be reluctant of us, who are dominating the SUV market recently. But it doesn’t look like that at all.”

“That and this are going to be separate. Isn’t that what business is all about?”

After I spit those words out, I suddenly remembered what Chairman Jin Hyun-pil, that is, my father had said.

It is said that a childlike attitude that can be reconciled today even if you fought with blushing yesterday is the essence of a true businessman.

Perhaps Chairman Jeong Tae-min is also a person with that mindset.

“If you look at it that way, the president is really great.”

“Why me?”

“Just like with Nokid, you fought like an enemy and now they are friends. If it were me, I don’t think I could ever do that.”

He smiled bitterly at that.

As soon as I got into the car, something came to my mind, so I pulled out my notebook and looked at it.

“By the way, mass production of the T-50 that KAI is working on with Nokid will start tomorrow.”

“Has that already happened?”

CEO Kang said with an expression that time is like an arrow.

Time is like an arrow, in fact, I am the same.

It feels like it’s only been a few days since I returned to Korea, but it’s not easy to accept that 7 years have already passed.

“You see, time goes by so quickly. KFX is also on the verge of a test flight.”

With that in mind, it became more real that the passage of time was like a bullet.

It feels like yesterday when I was running around for business, and the prototype is already ready to fly.

In addition, the main mission computer and the armament control system have already been transplanted.

Now, if only the weapons that will be integrated are completed, a complete fighter will be born.

“When do you expect the KFX test flight?”

CEO Kang asked, as if he was just talking about it.

I looked at the notebook again and said to him with a smile.

“If there are no major problems with the schedule, we will proceed in about a fortnight. So, CEO Ahn is very dry right now.”

“It doesn’t seem like anything else. Now that I have started developing the K21 in earnest…”

“Iknow, right. You think he’s been dead for a few years and pass it on.

At the words of comfort, CEO Kang made a more dejected expression.

Well, just have one.

In the yard where I am involved in countless businesses.

It seems that other people think that it is a place to sit and watch and chatter because it is the chairman, but it is only a matter of time before the company goes bankrupt.

It is said that the president is ultimately responsible for everything, and it is the fate of the president that he has to run several times faster than others for that.

“Then do your best.”

“uh? Where are you going? Isn’t this the end of today’s schedule?”

CEO Kang asked me again as I got into the car in a hurry.

Follow me!

Occasionally a ringing cell phone.

He let out a smirk and shook it.

“As you can see, there are so many places to look for.”

“·················ogue.”

******

“How are you?”

Shortly thereafter, we arrived at the missile development center.

It is inevitable that the mind is impatient as the time given to test the weapon control ability is just over a year.

“The development of supersonic air-to-ship missiles is almost over and is about to be tested.”

Seong-ho, whom I had not seen in a long time, had lost all the weight.

As if to prove the hard work of the past.

However, as he lost weight, his eyes were still alive as if he had regained his health.

“What is the propulsion speed limit?”

“Mach 4. Exactly just before entering the hypersonic realm.”

In fact, it could be called a successful development.

With the anti-aircraft defense capability of the existing ships, it is in a state of strength to defend against flying at a speed of about Mach 2.

more than twice that speed. If it is an anti-ship missile equipped with a sea-skimming method and autonomous evasion capability, it would be correct to view it as virtually impossible to defend.

“Did you get a barge to test?”

“That’s the problem, but the Ministry of National Defense said this time, how about testing it on a real ship?”

“What else do you mean?”

He tilted his head in confusion.

In the beginning, anti-ship missile testing was done by stacking containers on barges and targeting them.

Well, if we use an actual trap, we can get absolutely certain data, but the problem was that there was no such trap.

“Will the Ministry of National Defense provide an old corvette as a target?”

“Are you crazy? No, there is a ship recently imported from Russia as scrap metal, and it seems that the Ministry of National Defense bought it. This time, we plan to use it as a target for the supersonic anti-ship missile we developed.”

It seemed like a fresh change.

The Ministry of National Defense was trembling with even one target used for the anti-aircraft missile test.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the increase in defense spending due to the drastically different economic situation from before the return is not too great.

‘Come to think of it, it is truly a miracle that the economy grew close to 8% a year during this period.’

“What do you think?”

“Oh no, just a little. Anyway, if the Ministry of National Defense made such an offer, there is no reason to reject it. By the way, when was the test scheduled?”

“The schedule is expected in about three months.”

“Ttt, I must be busy running all kinds of tests for the next few months. Supersonic anti-ship missiles, including KFX. And even the delivery ceremony of the first Aegis ship. By the way, the mid-range air-to-air missile test is also next month.”

At the last words, Seongho’s impression was wrinkled.

Just when I thought that something was wrong, he uttered out of nowhere.

“You said it well. How do you feel now after listing them out like that?”

“what?”

“How harshly you ate Heewon and me. I was just talking about it, but Heewon asked me to tell you.”

“······what?”

“We’ve been married for several years, and we haven’t had children yet. You are responsible.”

“Isn’t that what he has a problem with?”

“It’s funny. You have to look at the sky to pick the stars, you bastard! What kind of talent does a person who enters every corner of the house only once a month have a talent for making children?”

Seeing the excited look of the guy made me laugh for no reason.

It shouldn’t be like this… Finally, I spit out one more word.

“I’m not even married yet, but I don’t see a friend living a life after having children.”

“Wow…you devilish bastard….”

The guy suddenly stopped what he was saying and snorted.

I looked up to see what was going on, and researchers were rushing out of the door at lunchtime.

Still, he seems to be respectful of the situation and quickly changes his attitude.

“So that’s it, Chairman. Now, why don’t you give me a little vacation?”

“What is it? Sometime next year.”

“·················ogue.”

Easy profit!

In the laboratory following Nom, the final propellant test of the mid-range air-to-air missile, which had been developed, was in progress.

In the meantime, not one, but two medium-range air-to-air missiles that I have instructed to develop.

Actually, there was a lot to say about that part.

“Honestly, I still don’t understand. Why on earth do we need to develop two types of medium-range air-to-air missiles with the same purpose?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Seongho, who was watching the combustion test, uttered a hint.

It is not intended to rekindle a debate that has already ended, and it is probably a question that comes from concerns about the pressure of development costs.

“You said The purpose is the same, but the gas used is different. In particular, the multi-pulse medium-range air-to-air missile is an essential item when our fighters are reborn as a true fifth-generation in the future. So, even if the development cost is a little higher, we should lead the development in advance.”

To be precise, it was because of the internally armed spear.

In fact, in the case of medium-range air-to-air missiles, it is true that the ductile ramjet method is superior when considering the continuous propulsion.

However, the problem is that the structure of the missile’s air intake port interferes with its internal loading, making it difficult to use in stealth aircraft.

So, in the end, you have to make it at the best and choose an external armament, then wouldn’t it be meaningless to use a stealth machine?

“Actually, the multi-pulse method has a sleek appearance, so it’s perfect for mounting on an internal armament spear. There is less chance of an accident during launch.”

In fact, it was not just that the multi-pulse method was advantageous to stealth aircraft.

Multiple propellants are constructed in the form of bulkheads and sequentially ignited. Thanks to this, it is possible to maintain thrust until the final stage, like a ducted ramjet, and thereby the NEZ. In other words, it also has the advantage that there are no areas that cannot be avoided.

Therefore, it is history that the United States will also improve the amram to a multiple combustion method in the future.

“By the way, if this appears in the world, isn’t the era of Amram gone?”

Of course I’d like to think so.

In the case of AMRAM, the worst drawback is that it loses momentum in the final stage, and since it is used by so many countries, the frequency used is severely exposed.

In fact, how serious that part is, DRFM. In other words, with digital radio frequency memory technology, it is possible to duplicate and emit no matter how complex frequency modulation is performed, in which case the missile may be completely destroyed and crashed.

Simply put, in the case of AMRAM that is heavily exposed to frequencies, you can jam as much as you want if you want.

‘Before the actual return, in the case of Korea and Japan, that was possible. So, it is no exaggeration to say that the era of Amram has come to an end.’

“Aside from the multi-pulse method, is the ducted ramjet method really being developed with export in mind?”

Seongho asked, pointing his hand at another medium-range air-to-air missile that was undergoing combustion tests from the other side.

He glanced at him for a moment and then was explaining.

“Yeah, in the case of multi-fired air-to-air missiles, there’s a good chance we’re the only ones actually using it. It’s a bit odd to export it to a country where one thing can change the game of dogfights. However, as we are a group that pursues profits, we also need exports. In addition, it can be mounted on the KF-16.”

“You mean that the KF-16 is also equipped with that medium-range air-to-air missile? Will America allow it?”

“Did you forget? “We already got the right to integrate our weapons on all F-16s years ago.”

“Ah!”

Seongho scratched his head at the belated realization.

What were you thinking? He had a blank expression on his face the whole time, but suddenly his expression brightened.

“Hey, isn’t that a joke then? If the F-16 can be integrated, of course the F-15 can also be integrated. Then, if the U.S. introduces it in earnest…”

“Yeah, the number would be astronomical. But those ducted missiles aren’t just integrated with the F-15 and F-16.”

“·················ogue.”

Seongho tilted his head as if puzzled.

“We’re going to have another fighter in the future, and I’m going to make that aircraft also capable of medium-range engagement.”

“·················ogue.”
