Early morning of May 4th.

Several shipborne armed helicopters hurriedly flew towards the No. 1601 coast guard ship at the highest speed.

And these armed helicopters were carrying Qin Chuan and a group of naval and southern theater commanders.

After learning that Qin Chuan's electromagnetic close range gun system developed for coast guard ships could intercept hypersonic missiles, Commander Yu of the Southern Theater Command immediately stated that he would use combat readiness forces to help Qin Chuan complete live fire tests!

At one o'clock in the morning, after the armed helicopter and the coast guard ship sailed towards each other, everyone finally arrived on the coast guard ship.

As soon as they boarded the Shanghai police ship, many leaders eagerly observed the nuclear powered warship.

Even the electromagnetic railguns inside the stealth turrets have been extended at the strong request of numerous commanders.

After touring the entire coast guard ship, the crowd finally arrived at the electromagnetic close range gun behind the bow main gun with satisfaction.

At the end of last year, the AGM-183A hypersonic glide missile from Beautiful Country had just succeeded once after three failures

Just this time, the troops of the beautiful country have already boasted, claiming to put this hypersonic missile into service this year, forming a deterrent against us

But I'm afraid the beautiful country wouldn't even dream of it. We're already testing hypersonic interception equipment before they even enter service

Commander Yu of the Southern Theater Command said to the crowd with a smile on his face.

General Qin, I am still quite confused

Hypersonic missiles have maneuverable trajectory changing technology during mid flight, and only one warhead remains when they strike at the end, making it difficult for even anti-aircraft radar to lock them in

How should we intercept this

Colonel Feng Zheng, the captain of the 002 aircraft carrier, asked.

The question raised by Colonel Feng Zheng also drew the attention of many people to Qin Chuan.

After re-entry into the atmosphere, hypersonic missiles can reach a terrifying terminal strike speed of over 10 Mach due to factors such as gravitational acceleration

This is extremely difficult for both radar locking and computer calculation of its trajectory in a short period of time.

Everyone is curious about how Qin Chuan solved this problem!

Intercepting hypersonic missiles during the re-entry phase is indeed a major challenge

But if we intercept it in the middle and don't give it a chance to re-enter the atmosphere, that's enough

Although hypersonic missiles can freely change their orbit, they still have to be constrained by various physical laws, such as dynamic pressure constraints, inclination rate constraints, overload constraints, and so on

Dynamic pressure refers to the aerodynamic pressure that an aircraft is subjected to during flight. Due to the requirement that the aircraft must be lightweight, its shell strength has a limit. Therefore, during flight, whether it is turning or pitching, the pressure cannot exceed the limit value, otherwise it will disintegrate

Based on these three constraints, although we do not know how hypersonic missiles maneuver and change orbits, we can still find three defense nodes based on their maximum limit orbit data

As long as our interception network is dense enough and the interception missile speed is fast enough, we can definitely successfully intercept hypersonic missiles during mid flight

Qin Chuan explained the basic principles simply.

To implement mid course interception, the range of air defense missiles must be at least 300 kilometers or more

And the cost of a single anti-aircraft missile like this is over 10 million dragon coins

And even without considering the cost of launching a dense interception network, its speed may not necessarily meet the standard for intercepting hypersonic missiles, right

Colonel Feng Zheng continued to ask.

The three defense nodes I mentioned using anti-aircraft missiles to intercept are definitely not realistic

That's why I developed the electromagnetic close range gun defense system for the 1601 coast guard ship

Qin Chuan smiled and said.

Electromagnetic close range artillery system

General Qin, are you saying that electromagnetic close range guns can intercept targets 300 kilometers away

Colonel Feng Zheng regained his senses and quickly asked.

That's right, the maximum range of this electromagnetic close range gun can reach 600 kilometers

In addition, it uses specially designed solid tungsten shells, so it can reach a kinetic energy speed of 20 Mach

With a solid tungsten shell cost of less than ten thousand yuan, coupled with a 20 Mach kinetic energy speed and defense node algorithm, intercepting hypersonic missiles is not a problem

Qin Chuan said confidently.

But his explanation once again left everyone dumbfounded!

Wait, General Qin

Your interception concept, related technologies, and algorithms have no problems

But do you call an air defense system with a range of up to 600 kilometers a close range gun

Commander Zhu from the Navy Headquarters became restless and asked Qin Chuan incredulously.

He thought that Qin Chuan's electromagnetic close range gun was just like their navy's 1130 close range gun, firing dense shells in a short period of time for final defense within two thousand meters!

But who knew that Qin Chuan's close range artillery was actually firing dense shells, conducting so-called close range defense from five to six hundred kilometers away!

Does he know that the farthest anti-aircraft missile doesn't have a range of 600 kilometers?

Chief, the electromagnetic railgun of the 1601 coast guard ship has a maximum range of 2000 kilometers

Compared to naval guns, this anti-aircraft gun with a range of only 600 kilometers is naturally a close range gun

Qin Chuan said.

And when everyone present heard this statement, they were all shocked by Qin Chuan's level of naming for weapons and equipment!

Your so-called electromagnetic close range artillery has no reference to current close range artillery, but is compared in range to electromagnetic railguns with a range of 2000 kilometers!

You call it a close range gun, how can other anti-aircraft missiles handle it!
