The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Just when Chang Haonan was in Chengdu, he was busy preparing to upgrade the design of Project No. 10.

Qiong Province, Lingshui Airport.

An almost brand-new elongated IL-76MF transport aircraft appeared in mid-air outside the fence, aiming at the landing height of the runway in a near-dive attitude. It was almost until the last moment before touching down that the nose of the aircraft was pulled up and the main landing gear was released. Accurately hitting the center of the runway.

Soon, the plane slowly came to a stop about two-thirds of the way down the runway.

Everything seemed normal.

But the captain Cheng Yunfeng in the cockpit still curled his lips, obviously not satisfied with his landing.

Compared with the classic clamshell thrust reverser on the D30KP2 engine on the old model, the grille thrust reverser of the new PS90A-76 engine is more efficient.

Pilots who are accustomed to the landing method of the IL-76TD in the past can easily misestimate the length of the runway required for landing.

For example, just now, the goal he set for himself was to park the plane in front of the taxiway entrance at the end of the runway.

Of course, Lingshui Airport has a long enough runway, so even if the touchdown position is not precise, there will be no problem.

But as a pilot of a military transport aircraft, you always have to make it more difficult for yourself.

What if there is a runway half destroyed by the war?

While reviewing the imperfect landing in his mind, Cheng Yunfeng flipped the switch and opened the air-tight hatch and tailgate at the rear of the aircraft.

The four-leaf tailgate opened up, down, left, and right at the same time. After a while, more than twenty people wearing uniform work clothes came out one after another.

Immediately afterwards, a flatbed trolley was pushed out along the springboard ramp.

A slender cylindrical object wrapped in red and white striped woven cloth was firmly fixed on it.

Originally, with such a small number of people and cargo, there was no need to use a transport aircraft as large as the IL-76 to perform the mission.

However, with the arrival of a new batch of IL-76s in the second half of last year, the Air Force transport aviation also needs to adapt the newly modified pilots to the increasing number of strategic transport aircraft.

It's all about flying anyway, so instead of flying empty, it's better to perform some tasks that are less difficult and easier to get started with.

Just think of it as training through competition.

Several transport and commuter vehicles quickly gathered on the runway at this time and began to carry other unloaded materials from the cabin.

At the same time, a higher-ranking officer got out of the passenger seat of a Cheetah SUV with a hard top and saluted the two leaders.

"Welcome to the comrades of Electronic Technology Group!"

In the huge round of organizational adjustments in March this year, the original Ministry of Electronics Industry was abolished and reorganized into the Ministry of Information Industry together with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

The research institute of the former Ministry of Electronic Industry also followed the conglomerate restructuring of the military industry system and established the Electronic Technology Group several years earlier than the original timeline.

It can be regarded as one of the many influences brought by Chang Haonan.

And those who just got off the transport plane were naturally engineers from the 14th Institute of Electrical Engineering.

"You are Commander Tang, right? I have known you for a long time."

Neither Xu Yang nor Guo Lin, who led the team, were soldiers, so they could only shake hands with Tang Yiping in front of them.

After the end of the embankment operation last year, the latter, as a front-line commander who personally participated in flying aircraft, was naturally promoted and became deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet Aviation Force.

However, because he is not old enough to be grounded, he is still stationed at Lingshui Airport and participates in aviation training as before.

At this time, Guo Lin quickly picked up Xu Yang's conversation to avoid any awkward silence:

"The mission you led last year brought back extremely valuable practical data for our electronic technology system, which is of great significance to the development of new new technology equipment in the future. Before coming this time, our group leaders also specifically asked us to face you face to face. Expression of thanks."

Although there is very little publicity about the embankment construction operation at the official level, and it is even somewhat secretive, after all, Dianke Group is deeply involved in the equipment support of the mission, so it still knows many details.

As for this thank you... of course it's not entirely because of the reasons Guo Lin said.

In fact, what Dianke Group wants to thank more is the unsatisfactory performance of the Yun-8J warning aircraft in that mission.

At that time, there were even signs that the SouShui 2000MS radar was being interfered with by the British backdoor, which indirectly prompted the top management to decide to build a self-developed early warning aircraft as a backup outside the ring project just in case. This aircraft has basically entered the prototype production stage. Air Police 200 project.

But it’s hard to talk about this kind of thing openly, so we have to use a more high-sounding name.

"No, we should be the ones thanking your comrades in the military-industrial system."

Tang Yiping quickly waved his hand:

"Operation Embankment would be completely unimaginable without the several brand-new equipment you provided, especially the new electronic warfare aircraft."

"From this point of view, that mission should be regarded as something we completed together. I was just lucky, so I got the obvious credit."

What he said was entirely true.

After all, even from a personal point of view, if it were not for such an opportunity, then as the chief officer of an aviation unit in a non-key disadvantaged direction, it would be almost impossible for him to cross the gap between middle and senior officers without hindrance as he does now. threshold.

The entire 9th Regiment of the 25th Naval Aviation Division was awarded the honorary title of "Hong Kong Guards Regiment".

As long as we wait a few more years, when the incident can be fully disclosed, Tang Yiping's name can basically be put into the Naval Museum or even the Revolutionary Military Museum...

After regaining his composure, he continued:

"So, this time I heard from my superiors that you have new equipment that needs to be tested, so I hurriedly submitted the application on behalf of the old army. I just wanted to see in advance what new equipment you have come up with..."

Just when the three of them had finished exchanging greetings and compliments, and were about to get down to business, the equipment that had been fixed on the flatbed truck happened to be torn off its frivolous packaging, which was similar to that of construction site equipment, revealing its true appearance underneath.

A pod apparently made of composite materials.

There is no difference in core hardware from the jammer tested previously at Daqiaochang Airport.

However, the algorithm has been further upgraded to allow the jamming pod itself to resolve and forward the coordinate information sent by the GPS during high-speed movement.

The aerodynamic shape has been optimized so that it can be mounted by an aircraft. The scope of action is no longer a nearly infinitely high cylinder centered on itself, but can be used directionally at the front of the aircraft.

Of course, it was built using another GPS receiver that was tested before.

In other words, there should be no third one in a short time.

"This is it?"

The sharp-eyed Tang Yiping immediately saw this thing that looked like a small auxiliary fuel tank:

"Is it also an electronic warfare pod?"

In the past, such an inconspicuous device might not have attracted his attention, but since he saw the magical power of the JH-7, he has a certain degree of awe for all cylindrical devices that can be hung on airplanes.

"Yes, a pod specifically designed to interfere with satellite positioning equipment can cause all targets to receive false positioning information within a range of about 20-25km."

Xu Yang turned around and glanced at the pod that was being unloaded onto a light truck:

"It can target all GPS devices, but it is expected that the main combat target is to interfere with cruise missiles and the use of satellite-guided bombs. In theory, it can interfere with an unlimited number of all munitions in an area at the same time."

"Of course, in addition to being on an airplane, it can also be installed on a car. However, as far as testing is concerned, airborne testing is more difficult."

Ever since she started running outfield with Chang Haonan and participated in various tests, she has become more and more like a normal person in the way she speaks.

Upon hearing such a function, Tang Yiping's eyes immediately lit up:

"So... do we need our pilots to prepare anything extra?"

Before being selected for the embankment operation last year, he was one of the first pilots to receive J-8C aircraft and participated in a low-altitude interception mission against simulated cruise missiles.

But in the end, it was discovered that with the configuration of mechanical scanning radar and semi-active radar bombs, each aircraft basically only had time to intercept two targets, and the efficiency was very low.

Considering that the number of ground-attack cruise missiles equipped on a powerful enemy cruiser may be more than the semi-active air-to-air missiles equipped by our military, the actual combat significance is really of little significance.

But if you have the kind of equipment in front of you, it seems that you can completely erase the opponent's numerical advantage...

"As long as the low-altitude flight technology is passed, and the aircraft has a 1553B bus and a multi-function display, it will be fine."

Xu Yang stepped forward, patted the shell of the pod, and then opened a small door on the side:

"When used on the ground, an external computer can be connected from here, and technicians can write the coordinate translation algorithm on site according to actual needs."

"However, considering that there is no such condition on an airplane, I, and of course the regular workers, have set four pre-made algorithms in advance from the beginning. The pilot only needs to press the button to select to achieve the corresponding interference effect."

After hearing her explanation, Tang Yiping finally felt relieved:

"Don't worry about this. My pilots are absolutely fine in low-altitude skills. When the time comes, the 25 J-14C pilots of the 8th Regiment will be at your disposal..."
