Chapter 149 Helmet Sight
149 helmet sight
Chen Fei only stayed in his hometown for two days, and then embarked on the journey to Chengdu.
He took a plane to Chengdu Airport at the prescribed time, where the military staff had been waiting for a long time. They got on the vehicle provided by the other party and then went directly to a military base.
It is actually a military airport.
The lieutenant who went to the airport to pick them up took them to the airport, handed them over to a colonel, and then left.
The colonel smiled and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Huang Bin. My superiors asked me to be responsible for everyone's modification training!"
"Hello, Chief!" Everyone stood attentively and saluted.
"Don't be the leader, I'm also a pilot, I'm just a few years older than you. You can call me Lao Huang, or Brother Huang. It's so kind, it's convenient to communicate with you if you have anything in the future." Huang Bin said cordially.
He looks more friendly, and his words and actions are so beautiful that he feels like spring breeze. Therefore, everyone is doing good deeds and shouts kindly: "Brother Huang!"
"I'll take everyone to check in for accommodation first!"
Huang Bin took everyone to an apartment building and arranged everyone to stay on the first floor.
After the arrangement was made, everyone couldn't wait to ask Huang Bin: "Brother Huang, when will we start the modification training?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Huang Bin said hilariously.
"We have never seen the legendary J-10 D, and we even think that this model will not exist, so..."
Huang Bin laughed loudly after hearing this, and stopped laughing. He said, "I understand your feelings, but I can't hurry up. Take your time. Dr. Shangqiu hasn't even come yet. No matter how anxious he is, it's useless?"
"Dr. Shangqiu? What kind of Dr. Shangqiu?" Everyone was confused.
"Cheng Fei's engineer, apprentice of the chief designer of J-10 D." Huang Bin introduced with a smile: "The first item of modification training is to introduce J-10 D to you first, so that you can have a preliminary understanding of J-10 D, and then I will take you on the simulator. The simulator assessment will be completed and the actual training will be on the machine."
Everyone heard this, look at me, look at you, and I look at you, and I was stunned. This modification training seems to be quite high in specifications, and there is also a doctor who will provide theoretical training for you first.
Huang Bin smiled and said, "Dr. Shangqiu is a great beauty!"
"Really?" Li Donghai, Huang Haijun, Qin Qingyu, Li Cheng and others' eyes lit up.
"It really can't be true anymore. I have seen it with my own eyes. I heard that Dr. Shangqiu is still single, so, brothers, seize the opportunity. I have no chance because I am already married!"
After Huang Bin said this, the six people from the Shenlong Squadron, except for Chen Fei and Yang Dong, couldn't help but be excited.
"Brother Huang, can you show us the flight manual of J-10 D first?" Chen Fei asked.
Flight manual?
Huang Bin was stunned and then said, "This is OK. I'll take it for you later!"
After a while of greeting, everyone left. Huang Bin indeed went to get some flight manuals for everyone. Chen Fei took the brochure, closed the door, and quietly started reading in the dormitory.
After roughly reviewing the flight manual, Chen Fei basically understood what kind of aircraft the J-10 D was. It was similar to everyone’s discussion before. He added a conformal fuel tank, replaced the domestic Taihang vector engine, added mounting, and upgraded the avionics system.
In other words, there are three biggest improvements to this fighter. One is to change the vector engine, the second is to upgrade the avionics system, and the third is to increase the fuel capacity. In this way, even if there is no air refueling, the fighter can still do a long cruise. For example, Chen Fei and his other previous cruise missions, because of the short legs of the J-10 C, they had to cut a section of the route into two sections, and one formation was responsible for one section, but if it was the J-10 D, that formation could be completed.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the J-10 D, the aerospace safety on the second defense line will be more guaranteed. If there are enough pilots, it will basically ensure that no alien fighter jets can break through the second defense line and enter our aerospace field.
Another point is that Chen Fei feels that this J-10 D is almost tailor-made for certain countries, and can fully meet their current national security needs. I think it depends on him whether the J-10 can achieve a zero-breakthrough in exports.
Oh, and, the biggest breakthrough of J-10 D is the use of my country's most advanced helmet sights.
In modern combat environments, fighter pilots and armed helicopter pilots are required to fly at high speeds, low altitudes, especially around the clock.
Flying under such conditions, the targeting system is required to be able to operate the missile seeker and airborne radar to quickly intercept the target under large maneuverability.
Judging from the above requirements, the sights used in the past could not fully meet combat needs. The reason is that the aiming process is relatively complicated and slow, and it is inconvenient to take into account other situations during the attack. Even if you use a head-up display, due to the small field of view angle, it is generally 20 degrees - 30 degrees, which makes the aiming attack limited.
In order to meet combat needs, the 20th century
Helmet sights are first used in armed helicopters and later in fighter jets.
With the application of new technologies in fire control, the accuracy of the helmet aiming system has been significantly improved.
Israeli Electric Optical Industry Corporation and Bendix Corporation of the United States jointly developed a helmet display/sighting system using holographic optical components and optical fiber transmission image technology. The aiming line accuracy is 0. Within 1 degree, it has achieved the current head-up display accuracy, thus opening up a way for helmet sights to enter the field of fighter jets.
From a development perspective, because the helmet sight system has a large field of view, it provides pilots with real head-up ability, can perform multi-function displays, and the accuracy of the sight line is no lower than that of the head-up display, so there is a possibility that the helmet sight can replace the head-up display.
At present, the helmet sights on the Russian Su-27 series aircraft belong to the first generation of monocular sights. The new generation of helmet sights represented by the United States Joint Helmet Display System JHbsp (equipped with F-35 fighter jets) adopt a binocular sight system.
Monocular and binocular are mainly reflected in visual effects. As we all know, when looking at things in a monocular way, the visual effect is not as good as binocular, and there is no sense of distance measurement and space, so it is impossible to form a three-dimensional visual feeling. The binocular design is conducive to the helmet scope system using holographic stereoscopic image technology on the eyepiece display, which makes the pilot's perception ability stronger and can better distinguish and feel spatial targets. It is of great benefit to improving the display ability of the helmet sight and improving the head-sight hit rate.
The J-20's helmet sight is the most advanced of our army. It displays information on the eyepiece through projection. The pilot can see the required information by looking at both eyes at the same time. It can display the airspeed altitude climb rate and the aiming information of all weapons. The helmet will even show the target that the pilot misses. For example, if a threat comes and the pilot is looking elsewhere, it will issue an alarm to remind the pilot to pay attention. At the same time, this helmet also has a night vision function. When flying at night, the pilot can also put down the eyepiece and fly through the eyepiece.
In addition, the comprehensive aiming helmet has the function of "watch wherever you see", which is directly cross-linked with the fire control system of close-range air-to-air missiles. The pilot's eyes can directly aim at the enemy planes coming from close range. The helmet can recognize the pilot's line of sight and then directly control the air-to-air missile toward the target.
In addition, since the J-20 fuselage is equipped with a comprehensive situational awareness sensor system similar to the F-35 fighter EOTS sensor, it can provide 360-degree omnidirectional field of view, has front-view infrared search and tracking functions, which can enhance the pilot's long-range situational awareness ability, this also requires the J-20 to be equipped with a helmet sight.
Chen Fei had also used helmet sights before, but it was too backward. If you want to use them, you had to train thousands of times on the ground to achieve the perfect fusion of people, fighter jets, and helmet sights. However, from the flight manual, the J-10 D's helmet sights are much more advanced than before, exactly the same as the legendary J-20 head aims.
