Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1127: Minor Problems, Finalization First (Make up for the last chapter of yesterday, there are three more chapters tonight)

The comrades discussed intensely with each other. Ten out of 12 hits were achieved, and the S-10 had the same range and altitude with less than 75/1 of its weight. This was a shot in the arm for the comrades on the scene. We finally had reliable domestically produced anti-aircraft missiles in our hands!
And it’s small and exquisite!
As the S-75 with the longest range, highest altitude and greatest power in our current air defense equipment sequence, it has a special place in the hearts of our comrades engaged in air defense. If we can surpass this, then we will truly surpass it.

And now, such a type of missile has appeared in front of everyone. This is like a pillow appearing when you are sleepy. If you don’t want to be happy now, when will you be happy?

Gao Zhendong also laughed happily. This thing was indeed good, there was nothing to doubt about it. The Citigroup's Standard-1 of the same level was still under development, while the Russians' slightly inferior and famous 2K12, which was the SAM-6 that performed so well in the Oil Bay and was later beaten badly, was also still under development.

From this perspective, this thing is actually the most advanced medium-range air defense missile currently available. Of course, it does have some minor flaws.

"This radar is really good, with a high degree of integration and strong performance." Some comrades were not only interested in the missiles, but were actually more interested in the radar.

"Yes, yes, yes. If this thing is put on a warship and made a little bigger, it will be incredible." Comrades from the Naval Equipment Bureau also came and looked at this thing with great curiosity.

For warships, the size and weight it can carry have a relatively large margin, which can further improve the performance of the radar.

The comrades discussed as they walked, then sat down. Now it was time to report.

The comrades from the Research Institute were very confident and their reports were very detailed. After all, they had the goods in their hands, so they were not in a hurry.

Other comrades asked questions from time to time.

"Your missile is well made, but what kind of launch vehicle are you going to use? Or will you continue to use the current launch system of the JINGQI-1?"

"No, no, we are considering installing a twin-launcher on an off-road truck. We are currently developing it."

"Twin? The bullet is so small, why can it only be loaded in twins?" Some comrades were very puzzled. The bullet was not big, less than 5 meters long, and the diameter was less than 40 centimeters. How could one vehicle load two?
"The structure of this missile is rather special. It cannot be made into a foldable shape. The angle of the foldable rail is too small, so we have adopted a special rail structure..."

The comrades from the Institute of Guidance and Research pointed to the missile wings on the slide, and this was where Gao Zhendong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Perhaps it is the convergence of technological development. Just like the comrades who later made the JINGQI-61, the wings of this thing are in the ten-X shape...

"What are you doing making such a complicated wing shape?" To be honest, not to mention Gao Zhendong, all the other comrades were a little overwhelmed.

But the comrades at the Institute of Guidance and Research are not without reasons for this matter.

"Our consideration is that the missile can obtain better control response of the rudder surface at any angle. Facts have proved that this is indeed effective."

Talking about this matter, the comrades from the Institute of Guidance and Research were quite proud.

Gao Zhendong smiled and raised his hand: "I suggest you change this thing. Of course, there is no problem with the final design this time, so use it first, but change it when you make the next modification. I suggest you use long side strips and wing wings and tail control rudder surfaces."

"But in this case, the mobility will not be sufficient." said a comrade from the Institute of Guidance and Research.

Gao Zhendong shook his head. "As long as the tail is big enough, the maneuverability is sufficient. You don't have to worry about that. This is where I said you guys think too much. There is no need to do this. At the same time, this hybrid airfoil will bring a big problem. That is, your control algorithm will be very complicated, the cost is too high, and the gains will not outweigh the losses. Besides, the maneuverability can be made up from other places."

At this point, Gao Zhendong pointed to the launch pads outside the launch site and said, "This launch rail wastes too much space, and the missiles are exposed to the sun and rain. It's not good. I still suggest that you make a launch tube."

“But as for the launch tube, the space after the wings are folded is not enough to arrange the slide rails. The wings cannot be folded and the diameter of the launch tube will be very large.” The comrades from the Missile Research Institute still had some concerns.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Then you shouldn't tilt the launch. Your missile is mainly used by the navy. The navy is used to launch vertically, so it doesn't need slide rails or anything like that. The missile wings can be folded. Otherwise, the navy won't be able to carry many of your missiles."

In the previous life, the first generation of our Jingqi-61 that was actually deployed on ships had only 6 missiles loaded in the 6 huge and sturdy barrels. The whole thing was filled with a makeshift smell, and there was no ammunition yet.

If this thing is made like that, then this bullet will be wasted.

"Vertical launch... that's possible, but it won't be compatible with land-based launchers."

"Why isn't it universal? Can't you do vertical launch on land? Do you have to do inclined launch? There are still some problems with inclined launch for omnidirectional engagement." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.

The comrades from the Air Force nodded repeatedly. Vertical launch with a launch tube is much better than placing it naked on the rail. Even if the number does not increase, it is much better, not to mention the omnidirectional engagement capability. They really want it. "Tilted launch can achieve a better close range..." said the comrade from the Institute of Navigation and Research.

"It's not a big deal. You use gas rudders, which are very efficient when the missile is just launched. Or if you need better turning capabilities after launch, or more extreme, you can just arrange four warhead vector engines. Of course, these are put on the improved models. Now this one only needs to be changed to folding wings to be finalized." Gao Zhendong said.

"And with the folded size of this bullet, if we use a tracked chassis, we can hold at least three rounds, or even four to six!" Knowing his comrades' old habits, Gao Zhendong used the density of firepower to lure them.

"Tracked chassis? Where did the tracked chassis come from?" Not to mention the Air Force, even the comrades at the Institute of Navigation and Research couldn't think of it. They had never heard that we had such a thing.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "The army is already using the amphibious chassis to modify the universal chassis. It was originally used for self-propelled artillery. It should be almost done now. You can take it and use it."

Gao Zhendong had discussed this matter with the army earlier and it had already been initiated. The modification on the existing site could be done very quickly.

"Really? Great! This is what we want!" The comrades from the Air Equipment Bureau were very happy. Hey, how could they feel embarrassed to use the chassis of the big brother, the Army?

The comrades from the Defense Working Committee then remembered that there really was such a thing. It was Comrade Gao Zhendong who proposed to make it when the artillery was being discussed. What's more, it can be used here as well.

Comrade Zhendong demonstrated the forward-looking nature of the equipment, which is absolutely beyond reproach.

The chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's the case. I'll coordinate and send you the chassis information later."

Comrades from the Missile Research and Development Institute nodded repeatedly, saying that this was something that needed to be done in the follow-up improvements and would not affect the acceptance of the missile.

"If you think it's too expensive, it's not unacceptable to install 2 to 4 missiles on the chassis of an off-road truck. This kind of weapon will not be deployed at the forefront, and the off-road capability requirement is not that high. Unless you want to accompany the air defense, but that is another kind of weapon. This one is not suitable now."

Comrades in the army were very interested in Gao Zhendong's statement: "Accompanying air defense? Providing air defense capabilities while following the troops? Why can't this system work now?"

Gao Zhendong pointed to a large number of vehicles on the launch site outside: "This set of missiles, search radars, and tracking guidance radars are all scattered, making it difficult to provide air defense capabilities while moving, and these missiles are too large for this kind of field air defense. For field accompanying air defense, a range of more than 10 kilometers is enough, and it would be best if one vehicle is a combat unit that can independently carry out air defense missions."

Before the comrades from the Air Force could react, the comrades from the Army were the first to get excited: "Well, this thing is good, this thing is good! I think we can make a model of it."

To them, this thing is really good.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee glanced at Gao Zhendong and said, "Kid, this thing hasn't been finalized yet, and you're already baiting the army."

He waved his hand in the expectant eyes of his comrades from the Land Equipment Bureau and said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's talk about this medium-range missile first."

The comrades from the Land Equipment Bureau were so anxious that they scratched their heads, but they still controlled their temper.

The following things went much more smoothly. After all, the foundation of the missile was there. Not to mention now, according to what Gao Zhendong knew in his previous life, even if this thing was not developed until the 80s, it would have made his comrades grin from ear to ear.

"...I hereby announce that the JF-2 medium-range air defense missile has been initially finalized! Next, please ask the comrades from the Institute of Navigation and Research to make relevant modifications to the JF-2 according to the results of the meeting..."

Let's first decide on something that can be used. At most, we can change the wings to foldable ones, which requires almost no work. The rest, for the time being, is just to add a launch tube.

Gao Zhendong listened to the words of the leader of the Defense Work Committee and realized one thing - the original Jingqi-2 was gone again!

"...After the modification is completed, a portion will be produced first and delivered to the Navy for the modification of destroyers..."

As long as these missiles can be installed on the Type 07 destroyers, the fleet's air defense problem can basically be completely solved. Even if a destroyer is equipped with only more than 10 missiles, it will be enough to deal with surrounding maritime threats and other military operations.

There was thunderous applause at the meeting. Although there are still some minor flaws, we now have an air defense force that is reliable, accurate, and highly mobile.

"Dear technical experts, come on, let's discuss some follow-up matters." The leader of the Defense Work Committee said with a smile.
