C892 Our Vertical Launch System
This project started in 1973. Y Country Navy began to develop a simple structure, a high rate of launching, a large amount of ammunition, and a missile launch system that could be launched in all directions and defense.
YCountry Martin? Marietta was responsible for the development of this launch system and named it the MK41.
However, the research and development of this system was not easy. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years had passed and there was still a long way to go before the research and development were successful.
At the same time, Y Country Navy could not wait. After all, the construction of the Aegis Warship had begun. Therefore, the first five ships, the TiKangdero Class, could only feel wronged. They continued to equip each ship with an MK-26 Mod 5 missile launcher at the head and tail of the ship. Each one could be loaded with 44 missiles. In addition to the main standard SM-2, they could also be loaded with the Aslock anti-missile.
In this way, each warship had 88 bombs, which was already quite a lot. However, compared to the later ones, the difference was huge.
In 1986, the MK41 system was finally completed. The MK-26 arms launcher was replaced by the MK-41 vertical launch system (VLS) for the MK-26 arms launcher of Y Country Navy.
The 8 combined launchers were 16 sets. The front and back of the ship were each equipped with 8 sets. Total load of 122 rounds. The space in front and behind each group of the Eight Connection Launcher was used to install an offshore crane. From the looks of it, the load was much higher than that of the original warship.
In addition to releasing a lot of missiles, they also had the ability to react quickly and launch at any time. Their ability to deal with saturated air attacks greatly increased, and they could also unleash the Aegis System's ability to deal with a large number of targets at once.
The first Aegis Warship would need to be equipped next year. Because they couldn't wait for the vertical launch system, they could only use the existing numbers to make up the numbers. The navy was very unhappy, but now, Qin Guan had suddenly mentioned the key point. You don't have a vertical launch system!
Is this thing something that can be easily solved?
After hearing Qin Guan's words, Thomas couldn't help but question. At this time, Qin Guan had already continued to speak.
"We don't need to buy this kind of small doggie air-defense missile. This launch pad... We'll have to dismantle it when we get back. We'll perform surgery here. Dig out a big hole and stuff it into our own vertical launch device. " Qin Guan's saliva splashed everywhere as he spoke. He took a step forward. After walking around, he was calculating the length.
"In this space, we can expect to insert 48 vertical launch modules. Using them to launch our modified Red Flag 61 air missile, hmm... There's more or less that much space behind, so we can have nearly a hundred air defense missiles. It's used to make up for the difference in our air defense. "
Qin Guan spoke without thinking. Although the Han Navy officials present were curious, they knew that Qin Guan was trying to trick the people of Y Country, so they just stood aside and put on an act.
"That's right. We don't need to use the little hound. We'll use our own Red Flag 61 to save on buying missiles." General Zhao said.
Since General Zhao had spoken, the people of Y Country naturally had to believe him. How could a dignified general of Han Navy lie? Wasn't Han Country inspecting the Sea Javelin of the people of Cattle Country? Why did their air-defense missile technology suddenly break through?
"Red flag 61?" General Thomas asked, "What kind of missile is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"It's the anti-aircraft missile that we developed ourselves." Qin Guan said, "This missile has been developed for more than ten years. Recently... We introduced a full set of Sky Flash Missile technology and used its guidance. After improving our Red Flag 61, this anti-aircraft missile will be mature. We plan to use it as one of our main missiles. "
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Thomas seemed to recall something. That's right, there was such a project in the Han people. In the past, he couldn't find the way, but after he introduced the Sky Flash Missile technology, using the guided missile to improve was indeed a good idea.
The Han people had already made a breakthrough in the anti-air missile system. Then, his own Standard Missile should be at the same level as the missile technology. For the Han Country, it was no longer a project that prohibited the export of technology.
Congress was too cautious.
No wonder the Han people did not take a fancy to the Sea Javelin. The people of the Cattle Country were really caught in the trap.
However, they said that they had also overcome the difficulty of the vertical launch system? How was this possible?
The research and development of the vertical launch system was very difficult. Currently, their own research unit also had countless problems. The main problem was the gas drainage.
On the armband, there wouldn't be any major problems with the gas produced from the missile ignition. As long as no one stood there during the battle, it would be fine. Otherwise, people would definitely become barbecued meat.
Now, the missile was launched vertically. It was directly ignited within the Launch Well, but when the missile was launched, it would produce a large amount of high-temperature gas. It was very important to quickly and effectively discharge the gas.
This gas would cause severe erosion to the launch equipment and related equipment. Take the standard missile as an example. The temperature of the air current was as high as 2400K. 40% of the gases discharged were aluminum oxide particles with high hardness and strong suction force. There were also 76,000 mg / kg of extremely lively hydrogen chloride gases.
The heat exchange caused by the collision and disturbance of high-temperature high-speed particles, the huge heat transmitted to the launch device, was extremely detrimental to the lifespan of the launch device.
Designing this gas drainage system was the key. The people of Y Country were still racking their brains on how to solve these problems.
Therefore, now that Qin Guan mentioned digging a big pit for hair loss, the people of Y Country were curious. How did they solve this problem?
Besides, they did not see the real thing. The Han people liked to magnify satellites. Were they boasting?1
Suddenly, a light flashed. General Thomas thought of something and asked, "Then, is the vertical launch system used for cold or hot launch?"
The missile vertical launch system seemed to be very difficult. Y Country had not been able to overcome the technical difficulties for a long time. However, if it was done from another angle, it would be very simple.
This was the difference between a cold launch and a hot launch.
A missile had to be ignited directly in a crater. There had to be a complex smoke exhaust method. Otherwise, once a crater was set on fire, the entire warship would be destroyed in a violent explosion of ammunition.
What if it wasn't ignited directly in a crater? First, use high-pressure air to shoot the missile out, just like firing a torpedo. After leaving the crater, wouldn't it be perfect to avoid the complex gas discharge system?
This... The launch method, the missile wasn't directly ignited and sent flying, so it was called Cold Launch.
