Since they had decided on the next step of research, Yang Changgen and Wang Mingyi convened a meeting of relevant old experts to put the research and development of the shoulder-launched missile on the agenda.
The experts who had developed powerful weapons like the Type 336 rocket launcher and the fuel-air explosives were also uninterested when they heard that they were going to develop a small single-armed missile.
Even Chief Engineer Zhang from the Rocket Research and Development Department said,""As far as I know, doesn't our country have a Type 70 62mm rocket launcher? If we continue to make such equipment, wouldn't we be repeating ourselves?”
The Type 70 62mm rocket launcher was designed in the 1970s, improved in 1974, and put into mass production until the early 1980s.
The Type 70 rocket launcher was the first anti-tank rocket launcher developed by B. Rabbit. When it was used in the monkey war, it discovered many flaws, and only a few people were convinced.
Lu Xuan, who had transmigrated in the future, could not possibly not know about these questions.
Therefore, Lu Xuan listed the various problems with the Type 70 rocket launcher.
"The Type 70 rocket launcher has many fatal flaws.”
"First, the mechanical aiming device is too simple. There is no ranging device, so the accuracy is limited.”
"Secondly, its effective range is too short, only about 1000 meters.”
"Third, the vertical armor penetration thickness is only 280mm, and the armor penetration ability is seriously insufficient.”
"The fourth…"
The commanders of the army knew about these problems, but they could do nothing about it.
Now that the country was in need of a lot of things, money was needed everywhere.
There was no extra funding for research and development.
What Lu Xuan wanted was an 80mm caliber miniature missile with a homing function.
How could the Type 70 62mm rocket launcher be compared to it?
"You also have research on the Type 70 rocket launcher?”Chief Engineer Zhang asked in surprise.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. He did not intend to tell them why he had studied the Type 70 rocket launcher. Instead, he said,
"The individual rocket we developed is based on solving these defects and adding stronger functions.”
"Our individual rockets not only have anti-armor capabilities.”
"We also need to be able to counter helicopters and even low-altitude fighter jets.”
"Therefore, we need to install a guidance system on our individual rockets.”
"By adding an external operating device to the launcher, we can lock onto the target.”
" As long as the missile's propellants are not completely consumed, it will continue to pursue and lock onto the target…"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Lu Xuan's request for the research direction of the new rocket launcher.
"In addition to anti-armor, it can also be used against fighter jets. It also needs to be equipped with a guidance system.”
"Are you sure they are researching individual missiles and not short-range anti-armor air defense missiles?”
Lu Xuan pursed his lips and said," Currently, the missile guidance technology used by various countries is mainly homing guidance, remote control guidance, inertia guidance, and composite guidance.”
" The most advanced one is the GPS signal guidance that Yingchan and Mao Xiong are developing. This is simply unrealistic for us at the moment.”
"According to our base's technology reserves, we can only use infrared detection guidance and computer chip control guidance.”
" Homing guidance technology is divided into active infrared guidance and computer chip control guidance, and computer chip control guidance is our weakness..."
Lu Xuan was helpless when it came to computer chips. That was another shortcoming of the rabbit family.
In another year or two, the Intel 8010 chip would be released, and it would truly realize the miniaturized chip.
The rabbit's chip was a supercomputer chip that could only be used in large missiles.
For a shoulder-launched missile with a caliber of only 80mm, the only thing that could be achieved was the active infrared guidance technology.
Of course, for Lu Xuan, who had transmigrated from the future, even the active infrared guidance that he had developed was the most advanced micro-missile guidance technology.
"Comrade Little Lu, are you confident?”Wang Mingyi asked.
If the thing that Lu Xuan was talking about was developed, it would definitely be a great killing weapon.
It could actively track and destroy a target. It was obviously a very good thing.
" I can't say whether I'm confident or not," Lu Xuan said solemnly." I can only say that I have to get it done."”
"Our rocket engine performance enhancement design was successful on the 336 rocket launcher.”
" That's why we need to increase the maximum range of our individual missiles to at least 10 kilometers…"
There was not much possibility of large-scale missiles now.
That involved radar, logistics support, and other supporting facilities.
However, it was not a problem to create this kind of shoulder-launched missile.
"In that case, what are we waiting for?”Yang Changgen also felt that this rocket could be used.
The enthusiasm that had disappeared from the old experts returned to their faces at this moment.
"I have no objections. This way, we can accumulate a lot of experience from the simple to the complex.”
"As long as we don't stay idle, it's fine. I don't know how many years we can still work for the country.”
"Yes, as long as we don't let them idle. No matter what they do, as long as it's useful to our national defense industry, there won't be any problems.”
It was impossible for them to come up with such a design plan with their rigid thinking.
However, Lu Xuan's wild ideas were combined with their rich experience.
He would definitely be able to develop this seemingly ridiculous weapon and equipment and contribute more to the national defense cause.
Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. A single missile with a homing function was neither difficult nor simple.
However, with the full cooperation of these old experts and the support of the base leaders, it would not be difficult.
"Since no one has any objections, let's discuss the design plan first and clarify everyone's division of labor.”
"The power of the warhead needs to be strengthened, the efficiency of the propellants needs to be improved, and the optimization of the engine is of utmost importance.”
"The faster our missiles are, the lower the probability of the enemy reacting, and the greater the chance of eliminating the enemy…"
Everyone present had no objections to Lu Xuan's division of labor. Yang Changgen immediately made the decision."Let's follow Comrade Little Lu's division of labor.”
"The missile part is not much different from our original rocket launcher design. As for the guidance, we are not familiar with it, so let Comrade Little Lu be in charge.”
"In addition, any relevant personnel in the base can be mobilized by Comrade Little Lu. The scientific research strength and production capacity of each branch will be deployed by Comrade Little Lu…"
Yang Changgen gave Lu Xuan the greatest authority in front of everyone.
Everyone present had no objections to Yang Changgen's decision.
The mission was completed, and it was still early.
Lu Xuan told the old men to get some rest.
Tomorrow, they would begin the research on individual missiles.
