Chapter 487 Anti-submarine technology from Europe

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "If Zhuang Jianye heard the truth in Zhou Jiwei's heart, he would definitely laugh. If this is not good, then it can only be said that Europe's battle of wits and courage with Soviet submarines on the bottom of the Atlantic for so many years has been in vain.

    Yes, the anti-submarine equipment contained in the No. 02 anti-submarine belly box assembly of Ascendas Airlines comes from Europe.

    Originally, Ascendas Aviation Corporation did not have a similar business, and had no intention of making a name for itself in this area. After all, now Ascendas Aviation Corporation has left Zhuang Jianye and the others to take care of themselves, and then develop an undersea acoustics project that has nothing to do with the aerospace field.  Detection equipment, Zhuang Jianye roared from the bottom of his heart, I really can't do it.

    But just because Ascendas Airlines doesn¡¯t want to do it, it doesn¡¯t mean that others don¡¯t want to give it a try. Evans and Irving, who are far away in the Federal Republic of Germany, are ready to jump into this deep pit to see if they can drown.

    The reason for this is very simple. After the Zeus-3 swept across Europe and quickly established a foothold in the European aviation industry surrounded by powerful enemies through its pulsating production line of small aircraft, Actor Aviation Systems immediately struck while the iron was hot and produced several types of aircraft.  An improved model of the Zeus-3 UAV.

    Among them, the reconnaissance type and relay communication type were favored by the Bundeswehr, the French Army, and the Italian Air Force. Forty-six sets of orders were received while they were still in the research and development stage.

    This makes Evans and Owen ecstatic, and at the same time they are ready to continue their efforts and embark on a bolder project, which is an anti-submarine drone with a full sense of science fiction.

    The reason for choosing this aircraft type is mainly because Europe, as the forefront of the Cold War, has been harassed by the Soviet Union's huge submarine force all year round. Therefore, from the moment the Cold War began, the main task of the navies of the major European powers, Britain, France, Germany and Italy, was  Anti-submarine.

    Not only that, as the quality level of Soviet submarines gradually improved, European anti-submarine equipment was updated at a very fast pace, which caused huge financial differences among European countries.

    Evans and Irving saw this and wanted to take advantage of the cost-effectiveness of the drone platform to replace part of the aviation anti-submarine force and make quick money at no cost, so they began to push this project.

    Relying on the success of several previous drones, coupled with its status as the core technology controller of the famous small aircraft pulsating production line in Europe, this concept has been enthusiastically pursued by major European media as soon as it was proposed.

    Anti-submarine warfare will enter a new era.

    What subverts the traditional anti-submarine warfare model.

    What a terminator for Soviet submarines.

    "What about unmanned anti-submarine aircraft vs manned submarines? Science fiction movies will become a reality."

    Even a proud American media commented sourly that Actor¡¯s anti-submarine drones will be the biggest threat to Soviet submarines in the next fifteen years, and the United States seems to have fallen behind Europe in this regard.

    After the Second World War, the sense of superiority was overwhelming. The United States, which boasted itself as the best in the world, actually admitted that it was lagging behind Europe in unmanned anti-submarine aircraft. Now the European media, which clung to the glory of the former colonial empire, reported like crazy, and for a while the actors were  Aeronautical Systems is almost blown to outer space.

    Under various instigations and momentum from the media, European governments and militaries finally couldn't sit still. After understanding the basic concepts and technical routes of anti-submarine drones from Actor Aviation Systems, the Federal German Navy and the Italian Navy respectively  Signed a project research contract worth US$30 million with Actor Aeronautical Systems, which requires building a test demonstrator within a year and a half to evaluate the feasibility of anti-submarine drones.

    With development funds and the endorsement of the German and Italian navies, European defense suppliers opened their doors to Actor Aerospace Systems.

    French Thomson's sonar, British Aerospace's magnetic detection system, German Siemens' computers, Italian defense group's communication equipment, etc., are all piled on the head of Actor Aerospace Systems.

    If it were H Company in the United States at that time, it might have been trying to integrate things from these different suppliers. However, neither Evans nor Irving, let alone the late Lindemann, were the two Liszts.  There is still a long way to go. Being able to come up with a concept and hype it up is already progress. Expecting integration is worse than expecting sows to climb trees.

    What should I do if I can¡¯t do it myself?  Of course, it was all thrown to the boss behind the scenes. Ascendas Aviation Corporation took care of it. The reconnaissance type and relay communication type of Thor-3 did this, and achieved good results. In this case, what about the unmanned anti-submarine aircraft?  Possible exceptions?

    The younger brother is showing off in the front, while the older brother is keeping the secret behind.

    Zhuang Jianye doesn¡¯t have any objections. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t suffer as a big brother. He makes a small amount of money and has a small skill. Zhuang Jianye really doesn¡¯t care if he wants a chance to show off. If he really wants to show off?, watching the Wujian-8a "Plass" drone fly twice around the southwest border, and then guide the artillery to blow up the monkeys running all over the mountain, isn't it more realistic than the daily pretense and slap in the face?

    The problem is that even if you are the big brother, you have a limit to what you can do. As a result, Evans and Irving brought down a big mountain in one fell swoop. No matter how awesome Zhuang Jianye is, he can't hold back.

    Unmanned anti-submarine aircraft!

    " A thing that has not been fully realized by the end of the 2010s, if you want to solve it by the end of the 1980s, unless Zhuang Jianye is an alien who falls into the world, there is no way to do it.

    ¡°If this were normal, Zhuang Jianye would have rejected the proposal without even a word if Evans and Irving proposed it. Unmanned early warning aircraft might be more reliable than unmanned anti-submarine aircraft.

    As a result, the two guys who were crazy about money decided to cut it off first and then paid for it. They both paid for pre-research contracts with the German and Italian navies, and 30 million US dollars have been received.

    If you refuse at this time, it is a breach of contract. You must know that Western countries are not domestic. This kind of pre-research funds are still subject to negotiation. If not, it will be refunded in full. But in Western countries, everything is done according to the contract. You can go back on it, except  The principal of 30 million must also be compensated for a huge liquidated damages of more than 10 million US dollars.

    So besides calling Evans and Irving to scold him, Zhuang Jianye had no choice but to bite the bullet and engage in the equipment integration of the so-called unmanned anti-submarine aircraft.

    However, the UAV platform is too small after all, and it is simply impossible to load control equipment, reconnaissance equipment, radar devices, acoustic detection systems, sonar floats, magnetic detection systems and UAV communication systems all at once.

    But this cannot be said clearly, otherwise the activist company will face huge compensation. What should we do?  Naturally, the blame has been thrown away. Action Company is really working hard on research and development, racking its brains to solve various problems, but the supporting supplier cannot meet my needs. What should I do?

    European suppliers knew that this was a way for the Action Company to shirk the blame, and they actually changed their products over and over again in accordance with the requirements of the Action Company.

    Therefore, the anti-submarine equipment in Zhuang Jianye¡¯s hand was iterated very quickly. Not only was each piece made very light and flexible, but its performance was not inferior to similar large products. However, even so, it was still far from being integrated into a drone.

    But at this time, the Navy's improved An-26 was on the right track, and the Navy also began to discuss special support platforms. Zhuang Jianye saw it this way, so much European anti-submarine equipment cannot be wasted, and anti-submarine unmanned aerial vehicles cannot be built.  It is possible to make an anti-submarine system component for the machine, so I made do with a set of No. 02 anti-submarine machine belly boxed components.
