Chapter 1524 Changing the Rules of the Game

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No wonder Modric has such an attitude.

    As a professional military officer from the Soviet era, Modric¡¯s knowledge is not comparable to that of the foreign military observers present.

    In the early 1980s, Marshal Olgakov, the then Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Armed Forces, promoted a military reform of the Soviet Army, aiming to strengthen information construction on the basis of mechanization, so as to realize the Soviet Army's individual  The battlefield was transparent, allowing the Soviet army to win the offensive effortlessly.

    So since then, modular equipment and organization that can be assembled at will like building blocks have been put on the agenda of the Soviet army and became the mainstream in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

    However, because Marshal Olgakov¡¯s ideas were too novel and powerful, many ideas could not be realized with the technical conditions at the time. In addition, the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, resulting in tight funds and the inability to afford huge research and development expenses.

    By 1984, when Marshal Olgakov was dismissed from the post of Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Army, this forward-looking military reform came to an abrupt end.

    However, the reforms terminated by the Soviet Union did not die out. Instead, they took root in the United States on the other side of the Atlantic, eventually forming the 1986 version of the military establishment plan outline of the US military.

    Then, through a series of local military conflicts such as the invasion of Grenada and the "Golden Canyon" operation in Libya, this set of military reforms was further refined and strengthened. Finally, in the 1991 Gulf War, the U.S. military demonstrated to the world the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military that transcended the times.

    The most eye-catching one is the flexible combat formation method of the U.S. Army. Two infantry brigades and one armored brigade form a mechanized infantry division; two armored brigades and one infantry brigade form an armored division or armored cavalry division.

    That¡¯s all. The key is that these brigade-level combat teams and subordinate battalion-level combat teams can adjust their formation at any time according to the battlefield situation. This is the modular formation that the US military is proud of.

    This extends to weapons and equipment. The US military also hopes to be able to achieve multiple functions in one vehicle, multiple uses in one machine, multiple types in one ship, and multiple effects in one bomb.

    So the Stryker wheeled combat vehicle is running on the ground. Using it as a platform, different modules can be installed to form an infantry fighting vehicle, an anti-tank assault vehicle, a support howitzer, a battlefield ambulance and even an engineer maintenance vehicle.

    With the F-35 flying in the sky, the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps have one aircraft and three types. It is definitely an unprecedented masterpiece among aircraft.

    If you have a littoral combat ship in the upper reaches of the water, you can transform it into an air defense and ground attack combat ship by installing multiple vertical launch modules; if you strengthen the sonar and anti-submarine weapons, you will be a proper anti-submarine expert; if you put in a demining device, you can be a worry-free  Concentrate on mine clearance.

    As for those that can blow people up, they are various precision-guided weapons or over-the-horizon attack weapons derived from the mk82 aerial bomb

    In short, Americans have studied modularity to the core.

    In this case, Americans cannot let go of the field of drones. Therefore, as early as the mid-1990s, relevant scholars in the United States proposed several concepts of modular drones.

    That scene is like changing the blade of a multifunctional screwdriver, giving the drone a larger and broader mission boundary and tactical possibilities.

    One American expert even suggested that the American company Lockheed Martin is developing a system that allows multiple batches of drones to have independent operating capabilities, just like a flock of birds, which can freely disperse, combine, and discover  After identifying the target, they can notify the rear headquarters, and they can attack independently or in groups according to the instructions.

    And such UAVs can be replaced with different photoelectric probes, communication systems, killing warheads, etc. according to different sites, different tasks, and different environments, forming a multi-level and multi-type modular combat method, thereby making future wars richer.  While being offensive, it further reduces one's own casualties.

    Not to mention, the American expert even pre-researched at that small-scale forum that within the next ten to fifteen years, the United States will be able to apply this seemingly science-fiction combat model to actual combat.

    At that time, the American expert¡¯s speech touched everyone present, including Modric, who was then the adjutant of the Russian Military Attach¨¦ in the United States.

    What Modric didn¡¯t know at the time was that there was an anonymous heavyweight on the scene, Lin Guanghua, the chief engineer of China Takeoff.

    I don¡¯t know how others reacted, but Lin Guanghua was so shocked at the time that the chief engineer, who started out as a drone, felt a little ashamed after listening to the American expert¡¯s speech.

    I have been working on drones for more than ten years, and have launched more than ten models, but there is such a big gap in concept with the American industry.

    Is it difficult to build a modular drone with multi-batch and multi-mission attributes?

    ?It may be difficult for others, but for Lin Guanghua, it is just a little trouble.

    You must know that China Tengfei has been committed to the research of drone swarm technology for the past ten years, and is also exploring the practical application of drone multi-mission methods.

    For example, for example, the attack series of drones and the "Harpy" anti-radiation drone that prevents Israel, China Takeoff has developed different types of warheads and strike combinations based on them.

    At the same time, different optoelectronic pods, radar pods and communication pods are used on ty series drones to cope with different types of tasks.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    So for Lin Guanghua, who was studying in the United States as a visiting scholar at the time, the key was not the applied technology, but the advanced ideas.

    By coincidence, this American expert gave Lin Guanghua a brainstorming and ideological guidance, which made Lin Guanghua enlightened and felt a sense of urgency at the same time.

    There is no way, it is the two words of the American expert that have taken root in his heart.

    One sentence is: "This type of epoch-making equipment system will definitely change the game rules of future wars!"

    The second sentence is: "The United States will equip this type of system within ten to fifteen years and apply it in actual combat!"

    Time waits for no one!

    At that time, Lin Guanghua only had these five words in his mind, and then he hurriedly ended his visit as a visiting scholar and returned to China with this set of ideas that could change the rules of the game.

    After some discussions with Zhuang Jianye, we immediately started research on related technologies in the UAV business segment of China Ascendas.

    However, what Lin Guanghua also didn't know was that Modric did not report this matter to his superiors after returning to China. The reason is very simple, because Russia already has the exact information, and Lockheed Martin has not made any progress in modular drones.  How much effort, and the reason is very simple. Compared with complex aviation projects such as the F-35, the profits in simple drone projects are too low, making Lockheed Martin feel that it is not worth investing a large amount of resources.

    But whether to do it or not is one thing, and whether to brag about it or not is another matter.

    Although modular drones are low-profit, they are highly competitive. To the outside world, Lockheed Martin will soon master a new type of equipment that can change the rules of the game. Lockheed Martin's image in the field of military equipment will immediately become stalwart.  Whether it's selling externally or lobbying internally on Capitol Hill, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

    Since the rightful owner doesn¡¯t care, why should Modric, an outsider, be anxious? Not only that, but he will also laugh at his shocked expression when listening to the speech. He is still too young and does not understand the tricks of the old and American.

    As a result, just when Modric was about to forget this memory from seven or eight years ago, Xiaoman showed him what the American expert had envisioned. Do you think he was surprised or shocked?
