Chapter 751 Special order from polar bear, accept or not?

There are many smart people in this world.

Many people know the function of gallium nitride power components.

So when Nanshan Semiconductor started selling components at a recommendation meeting, many people quickly got relevant samples.

As the world's most advanced radar manufacturer, Raytheon of America is no exception.

If Northrop Grumman and Boeing are just a little worried that Nanshan Semiconductor's gallium nitride power components will have some impact on themselves, then Raytheon cannot simply be described as worried.

Founded in 1922, Raytheon is the Pentagon's second-largest weapons supplier. Its main business scope includes radar systems, missile systems, sensors, submarine sonar systems, military training aircraft, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, etc. Among them, radar technology and missile technology represent reached the highest level in the world today.

Radars produced by Raytheon Company equip most of the U.S. military aircraft.

如F-22的AN/APG77雷达、F-15的APG-63和APG-70雷达、B-2的APQ-181雷达。

In addition, there are large fixed radars such as Pave Claw and the X-band radar of the National Missile Defense System of the United States.

Once the flagship product Radar is surpassed by China, the impact will definitely be huge.

So after listening to Hayes' words, he couldn't help but raise his own questions.

"In addition, its energy density is 10 times that of gallium arsenide."

As the head of the radar business, Hayes must strive for more resources for himself.

"China has now begun to sell gallium nitride power components to the outside world. Although the price is definitely much higher than the cost price, it is also cheaper than we imagined."

Lawrence was directly prepared to issue threats to relevant semiconductor companies.

As the second largest arms company in the United States, Lawrence has the confidence to do such a thing.

"Aren't many companies studying gallium nitride materials before? Contact them to see when the finished product will be available."

This situation is absolutely unacceptable.

And the number of various fighter planes in the entire United States and even its allies...

America's radar technology has always been far ahead in the world, otherwise it would not have said that it is 50 years ahead of the world.

"This allows the phased array radar to have higher power and longer operating time."

But now the emergence of gallium nitride power components has made this situation too embarrassing.

"As long as the Chinese people are not confused, they will definitely use gallium nitride power components in various types of radars."

"This is very fatal, because it means that if the gallium nitride phased array airborne radar is turned on centrally, it can be directly used as a weapon to shoot down enemy aircraft."

Instead of making unnecessary arguments, Hayes was prepared to speak directly with numbers.

"Let me give you some comparative data between them, and you can feel the difference between them."

Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, the president of Raytheon, is a talented person with a background in missiles, and his understanding of radar is obviously not as deep as that of Hayes.

“We at Raytheon have always been the most advanced radar technology company in the world, and this honor cannot be left in our hands.”

"Lawrence, judging from the current test results, the gallium nitride power components produced by Nanshan Semiconductor are very advanced."

Crisis, crisis, danger contains opportunity.

Hearing what Hayes said, Lawrence's expression also changed.

Thinking of this, Hayes' mood became less depressed.

China is likely to have made a new breakthrough in radar technology. This is a threat, but in a sense, it is also an opportunity for Raytheon.

"Not to mention its detection and scanning capabilities."

Fortune comes and misfortune lies, and misfortune lies.

"Does this mean they have completed the development of gallium nitride phased array radar?"

The radar of an F35 fighter jet can be sold for tens of millions of dollars. They are completely able to do this kind of thing.

But Hayes' answer made him very upset.

If China uses gallium nitride in phased array radar, wouldn't China's radar technology be able to catch up with or even lead the United States in an instant?

"Using gallium nitride to produce T/R components for phased array radars is certainly better than gallium arsenide, but it is impossible for China's radar technology to surpass ours at once, right?"

This is definitely an unprecedented big list.

"T/R components produced from gallium nitride can operate at temperatures up to 1700 degrees, which is three times that of gallium arsenide."

"You tell them that if there is no way to mass-produce it within this year, then we will consider purchasing gallium nitride power components from China's Nanshan Semiconductor."

"If China uses it to produce phased array radars, then the F22 and F35 radars that we previously promoted as leading the world for 50 years will immediately become outdated."

As the head of Raytheon's radar business, Hayes was definitely very anxious at this time.

Lawrence asked another very crucial question.

They can be more bold and approach the Pentagon to apply for some funds or subsidies.

"This new type of radar is already on combat readiness in places we don't even know about."

As for whether Nanshan Semiconductor has been sanctioned by the United States, and whether purchasing the other party's products will violate some regulations, this is not an issue Lawrence is considering at all.

"I will go to the Fifth Corner Building in person tomorrow to report the situation to the senior officials."

In addition, the emergence of China's advanced radar means that the various airborne radars and shipborne radars currently used by the United States need to be updated.

Regulations are used to restrict ordinary enterprises. For enterprises with complicated backgrounds and relationships like Raytheon, this is not a problem at all.

The worst case scenario is to transfer more hands through intermediary traders, making it more difficult to trace the source of the components.

Just like this, it can provide some legal income to the various traders in the middle. Behind these traders are related figures in various chains.

With Lawrence's instructions, Hayes could naturally boldly go to the relevant companies to communicate.

Under such extreme pressure, companies in the United States soon began to announce that they had mastered the production of gallium nitride power components.

However, the defective rate of gallium nitride power components produced by these companies is very high, and the cost is much higher than that of Nanshan Semiconductor.

Basically, their cost price is Nanshan Semiconductor's sales price.

Fortunately, people's military expenditures are high, so they are not afraid even if the price is high. They need to solve the existing problems first.

……

The United States can notice the gallium nitride power components produced by Nanshan Semiconductor, and the Polar Bear side is naturally not idle either.

For a long time, although the performance of the polar bear's airborne radar is not very bad, it has been achieved through a special and rough method.
