C974 Cooperation to Develop an Armed Helicopter
Totti was delighted when he heard Qin Guan's words. The other party had suggested the military helicopter project at this moment. It just so happened that they needed a partner as well.
If it was an armed helicopter modified using a transport helicopter, then the A109 helicopter would be enough. The small antelope helicopter that Chicken Country had been promoting could actually be considered a modified transport helicopter.
Of course, such a helicopter was not Qin Guan's intention. Since he said that it was a specialized military helicopter, then it should be a professional one.
In the world, only the people of Y Country, the AH-1, was the only one. Other than that, it was all modified.
Now, Qin Guan had brought up the so-called military helicopter. Of course, it meant something. Totti immediately thought of the project that they were currently working on.
The A129 anti-tank helicopter plan of Agusta company still hadn't progressed smoothly until now.
After experiencing the failure of cooperating with other countries, Noodles Country's army decided to work together with Agusta Corporation. Just like that, in 1978, they signed a contract of intent. Now, these specific indicators are being debated endlessly, everyone knows... The real reason was that they couldn't give Agusta the money, so how could they enter the project design stage?
Now, with the participation of the Han people and their funds, it would be the best.
"Coincidentally, we also have the research and development plan for the armed helicopters. If you are willing, you can share our research results with us through providing funds. How about it?" Totti asked.
Qin Guan immediately knew what the other party was planning when he heard his words. The other party wanted them to invest in the research and development. Only the White Elephant Country could do something like selling the product to them. They wouldn't be such a sucker.
"Our plan is to set up a research and development department in our own country. If we cooperate with you, that's fine. Then we will set up research and development agencies in your country and in our country, and we will develop them together. We'll enjoy the results together, how about that? "
Qin Guan had made it very clear that everyone would develop and share the technology together. This way, Han Country would be able to gain valuable experience in the research and development process.
This was the same as the transformation of the Spey.
The prototype of the Spey could already be produced. But those design concepts... They did not understand how to modify the Spey with the engineers of Cattle Country. During this process, they had grasped the design concepts of the Spey. They had gained a lot.
Now, the development of the helicopter was the same. Qin Guan mentioned that there was also a research and development department in the country, because he was afraid that the people of Noodles Country would play tricks on him. If the research and development department was in Agusta, then where would they go? They might be excluded from the core department and work all day long.
One of Qin Guan's basic attitudes was to develop and master the core technology together. When Totti heard what he said, she felt very troubled.
This was simply teaching the other party by hand!
Armed helicopters were very different from transport helicopters. Its main components had to be bulletproof, and it had to have an advanced cabin system. It had to have a weapon control system, observation system, and so on. It was not something that could be easily mastered.
In the process of research and development, these techniques were also grasped by the Han people.
This was simply cultivating competitors. In the past, the Agusta Company had come from the Sikorsky Company to learn from their master. Now, they were competing with the Sikorsky Company.
If he could master the Han people, would he become a competitor in the future?
Transportation helicopters, this kind of A109, could be handed over to Han Country's technology. After all, many countries in the world had this kind of technology, but armed helicopters were different. Looking at it now, who had this kind of technology? Only Y Country.
Among the equipment of various countries, armed helicopters were also blank. So, once the research and development were successful, the export prospects would be very broad. At this time, they were not willing to teach the technology to others by hand.
Looking at the other party's expression, Qin Guan knew what he was thinking. This kind of thing, of course, could not be forced if both parties were willing. He said to the other party, "Of course, we also know that we are cooperating with foreign companies. After all, it is not reliable, so we also have plans to develop ourselves. During this period of time when the army was testing the antelope helicopter, they were also reporting to their superiors: Now, their superiors have approved and are expected to invest a total of 100 million in research and development costs. After all, we are facing the greatest threat and our superiors value us the most."
100 million! Hearing this, Totti's heart finally moved. Research on helicopters... It was like burning money. Research on armed helicopters was even more so burning money. If they had the capital investment of Han Country, then their own A129 helicopter... It would definitely be able to be put into actual combat.
Qin Guan continued, "In the helicopter system, we are indeed lagging behind. There are no advanced helicopters in the country yet. However, in the weapon system, we have already started to seriously deal with the threat of the tank. Our department is currently developing the Minute Meter Wave Radar, optical detection system, and so on that helicopter. What we lack is the helicopter itself. Now, we need to introduce the helicopter technology. We also have to consider this aspect. "
Qin Guan had already said it very straightforwardly.
Why did we bring in a dolphin helicopter? It's because they gave us a full set of technologies for helicopters. On the basis of this technology, we also need to build our own specialized military helicopters!
Other than for our use, we also need to reserve the technology for the military helicopter. As for the other technologies needed for the military helicopter, we are also in the process of research and development.
Although Noodles Country is building armed helicopters, not every part of it is created by itself. For example, the observation system of the helicopter is to introduce the Sabo Company.
Since Han Country is now in the process of developing these technologies, it just so happens that both parties are taking advantage of each other to make up for the deficiencies.1
Other things might not be possible, but Han Country's electronics technology had made a huge leap. This was unquestionable.
It is definitely impossible to only want us to provide funds and not let us participate in the research and development.
Speaking up to this point, Qin Guan knew that he had already moved the other party. After all, working together with the people of the noodles nation to develop their own research and development team... That was the most important thing. He would exchange equipment and technical information. That was also because he knew what was going on. A positive research and development process was even more important.
After that, he was just short of trembling.
Qin Guan pushed open the drawer of his desk and took out a piece of paper. "This is the blueprint of an armed helicopter designed by our helicopter expert."
Don't think that you are developing an armed helicopter and are in the lead in the world. We are not slow either. We also have our own armed helicopter plan!
