Chapter 277 New Fire Control System

In the huge steel structure, several staff members are in charge of debugging something.

"How's it going?" Catherine was going back to New York in two days, so she temporarily came to the research department of Bibizi.

"There may be some problems with automatic loading. We can't load the bombs intelligently." The technician was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Ken, who was debugging the system on the side, raised his head: "If we can become the same as the magazine of a gun, then maybe it will be fine."

"Can't you do that?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Yes...but the report we handed to the Quality Supervision and Management Office has not yet been approved."

It seems that the Pentagon is underfunded again.

"But the magazine is not suitable, right?"

Catherine thought for a while.

"Maybe... this is just one of our considerations." Ken shrugged.

The automatic loader was born during World War II. The Soviet turret was low because of the use of a semi-automatic loader, which reduced a person's position.

But in this new architecture, everything needs to be redesigned, and this aspect is not what aRk is good at...

"How is the situation going now?" Catherine asked.

"The control system is almost done. Now we can control the machine at any time through the touch ball." Ken removed his body and showed Catherine the new console.

The new control platform has been completely revised, because it is prepared for a new type of tank equipment, so it can be designed for xìng.

Such a platform is completely different from the situation in the original traditional tank control room.

Although there is only one "skeleton" in this place now, Catherine can still imagine it as the inner space of a tank.

"In order to calculate the landing point of the artillery, we conducted hundreds of test firings for each type of projectile, and then averaged the data based on these data, and then the computer obtained the conclusion on how to adjust the muzzle through reverse calculation, and then controlled the machine ..."

Ken was talking eloquently, while Catherine looked at this new platform carefully.

The driver’s position has basically not changed much, but many of the equipment in it is not available in current tanks, and even does not exist in the "historical".

There are two completely flat screens on the side, which correspond to the viewing angle of the artillery and the viewing angle of the machine gun respectively. Fully digital and fully automatic.

In front of the screen, there is a special work panel, which has also been overhauled.

"The buttons on the left hand side correspond to commands such as shooting and filling. As for this control ball... we created it based on the inspiration of the mouse."

"Oh?"

Catherine walked over to Fiction.com, and then saw a semicircular sphere protruding from the tabletop.

"Can I go and see?"

After all, Catherine can be regarded as the planner of Bibizi. Although this tank was not made by her, after all, this is derived from her creativity, so Catherine is still very interested.

"Oh, no problem, but come in like this—"

Look grabbed the steel frame next to him, and then climbed out of the console from the top.

"Ok."

Catherine climbed up from the side and was taken into the control room by Ken.

"The program has just been debugged and has not been tested yet, but there are basically no major problems. Now our system has no major problems. The trial model can be completed in only half a month at most."

Ken's tone is very confident.

"Oh, then I really look forward to it"

Yes, if this thing is completed, Catherine believes that this product will definitely become a big killer

Although such a control system has hardly appeared in history, Catherine believes that her product must be very feasible.

After all, in the future where Catherine is, because of the development of computers, they are studying automatic tracking systems, not such systems that require full manual control. If the computer and the tank were combined in advance, Catherine guessed that a situation similar to the current situation would still occur.

Catherine looked at the picture. There was a green crosshair and a red enlarged crosshair.

"The green is the crosshair, and the red circle is the actual position of the gun. In order to solve the problem of overlapping two crosshairs, we used a red circle. This circle may not appear on the screen. Instead, calculations and corrections will be made according to the specific position of the barrel."

Catherine touched the ball, which had a heavy feeling. In order to increase the friction, it was made frosted.

"Press the control ball, and then you can move the position of the crosshair."

Ken explained.

Catherine started to move and control the ball. Sure enough, the picture started to move at this time-this is the camera moving.

At the same time, the site of the steel frame structure also began to move, not excessively a little slow. At this time, the entire chassis began to move, and the red crosshairs in the screen began to slowly disappear.

"If you fire the gun, you need to enter the distance parameter, and then the muzzle will be adjusted again. We use the jī light rangefinder supplied by Hughes, and this thing is here."

Ken pointed to a strange device next to him.

"What about the previous button method?"

"We still kept it, because after discussing it, we felt that although this thing is good, it may not be suitable for the ever-changing battlefield. If you use the cross button, it seems stable xìng is better... But the specific things have to wait until the trial is done. We can only verify it after the type appears."

Catherine nodded, she also felt that this thing was a bit too idealistic: "How is this filled?"

"We still use manual filling for the time being."

"Then what's the matter with your magazine loading equipment? Is it feasible?" Catherine asked.

"It is theoretically feasible, and it can greatly shorten the loading time of the ammunition. However, it takes a relatively long time to change the magazine, and a magazine can only be loaded with 5 to 7 shells at most...Uh, Maybe less." Ken scratched his head.

"Well, it might be better if the number can be increased." Catherine nodded, "but I still think you can use a better method. After all, the way of magazines is not suitable."

"Uh... In fact, the most important problem is that the magazine designed by Vaughan requires some modifications to the shells. This is the biggest problem."

Catherine shook her head.

It is difficult to solve this problem. It is necessary to persuade the Pentagon to modify the shells... This is not a simple matter. Instead of that, it’s better to design with others

Catherine can only be said to be a puppet army. She really knows too little about this aspect. The "skill tree" in this aspect has been developed by others. Cannonball magazine? It sounds good, but it is a pity that with Catherine's knowledge, it is difficult to have a deeper understanding of the aspect, and the tank experts don't seem to like this opinion.

But Catherine still knew that although the low turret was popular for a while, the big turret was later popular.

First of all, composite armor is more suitable for welding turrets. The low and sleek cast turrets are difficult to form armor modules; secondly, as more and more vehicle-mounted systems, larger turrets are needed to put these things in...

"If it doesn't work, just find someone to cooperate and use the current automatic filling device."

Catherine said so.

Ken nodded.

Catherine then came to the driver's seat: "Is there no improvement in this area?"

"It can only be said that some fine-tuning has been carried out. The tank can display all the information digitally, but it is difficult to achieve more in-depth. In fact, we originally wanted to design the forward and backward of the machine to be digitally controlled. , But this aspect... is somewhat difficult."

It is worthy of the person who opened x, but it is a pity that he can't solve such a difficult problem.

"Have you tested range and accuracy?" Catherine asked again.

"Not yet, but I expect that when shooting on the move, the hit rate will at least be higher than that of the m45."

Because the huge steel-frame platform is only used for simulation, not a real tank, many problems cannot be solved. If you need to really solve the problem, you must have a complete control system.

Sometimes the human brain can do things easily, but the computer may require a lot of time and resources to perform the same calculations. Moreover, computer control is not necessarily more convenient than the current controller, which is also a priority for Catherine.

If it is not more beneficial to the battle, it will not be of any use to the Pentagon, so even if you work hard to develop this product, it will only be a tragedy in the end.

Unless... I can reduce the number of people driving tanks to 1 or 2 people. In this case, the cost of training tank soldiers can be further reduced, which is undoubtedly the most bang.

——In this regard, Catherine thought of the legendary Gundam. That guy seems to be alone?

But to be honest, these two things are completely different. Gundam simulates a human body, and now he is working on the tank's fire control system. Even if it is a trial model, it is not the sole responsibility of Catherine's aRk Group. It is also because of this reason that Catherine gave the automatic filling device to others so easily. The so-called debts are not worrying.

However, automatic reloading also faces an enemy-smashed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The most important thing for automatic reloading is to solve this problem. Ken obviously also knows this information, but he probably wants to use the magazine method for this reason. It's a pity that the magazine method is even more unrealistic.

"I think we should first consider the hit rate. This is the most important issue. The problem is solved, and the other problems are not a problem." Catherine concluded in the end.

"Okay." Ken shrugged.

The Soviet Union's tactics are tank seas, pouring as much firepower as possible in a short period of time, and destroying the enemy with a huge firepower net. What Europe and the United States prefer is to eliminate the enemy from the very beginning. It is precisely because of the different ideas, so the focus here is hit. So the hit rate goes up, and your products will inevitably be valued.

"Work hard, I am optimistic about you."

Catherine smiled and looked at Ken, and then left.

Christmas is coming soon...

...

There is one more to make up tomorrow...
