Chapter 2611 Miniature Individual Torpedoes

…

“This result may be different from the theoretical data, mainly because we cannot accurately estimate the normal physiological state of a person underwater, so naturally it is impossible to estimate its oxygen consumption underwater.”

“Because of being underwater for a long time, people’s emotions will change, and their heart rate and breathing rhythm will also change. Therefore, the demand for oxygen is also changing at any time.

When reminded at rest, our breathing rhythm can be slowed down to about twelve beats per minute. In the case of slow exercise, it can be kept at sixteen beats per minute.

And the longer the time underwater, the faster the breathing rate, and the more oxygen is consumed. How long it can stay underwater depends on the user’s habits and environment. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaolei glanced at the officer, and then continued: “In addition, to determine how long this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor can stay underwater, in addition to oxygen, it also depends on Its battery life is up.

We also equipped this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor with two latest super solid-state batteries, which makes its underwater and water endurance time reach about eight to ten hours. Of course, we also involved a special underwater hot-swappable function for it. If necessary, the battery can be replaced at any time underwater, so that it can last longer.

Of course, this also means that you need to carry extra batteries to replace them, which increases the weight. ”

After listening to Zhang Xiaolei’s introduction, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Chenggang and other members of the Marine Corps also nodded. They naturally understood Zhang Xiaolei’s words, how long the battery life of this equipment depends on how they use it.

Zhang Xiaolei looked around the crowd, then continued to speak with a smile: “In addition, we have also equipped this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor with a miniature sonar sound collection array to collect and detect underwater sounds. faint voice.

We know that underwater visibility is limited, often only ten to twenty meters, so there may often be such tragic battles where close combat occurs.

With this set of miniature sonar sound collection arrays, we can perceive the sound of smiles in the water in advance, and then accurately locate the approaching target and deal with it calmly.

In addition, there is also an electronic submersible. We can use this electronic submersible to stick out of the water at a position of two meters underwater and observe the movement of the water surface.

It can also be extended into some small spaces for investigation. When not in use, it can be put away for easy carrying. ”

After introducing these, Zhang Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief, then led everyone to the next booth, and then continued to introduce to everyone present.

“After introducing the basic performance of this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, the next thing I will introduce to you is the weapon system of this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor.

First of all, like ordinary mechanical exoskeletons, it has its own fire control system. This fire control system can not only control automatic weapons to attack, but also assist conventional weapons to attack.

This underwater special combat mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is the same as the conventional mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, and can also use a series of conventional weapons and equipment.

What’s more special is that it can also use underwater weapons and equipment. And our engineers and weapons and equipment experts also designed and developed a special underwater fire control system for the special environment of underwater combat.

Relying on this underwater fire control system and miniature sonar sound receiving array, we can achieve underwater beyond-horizon positioning and beyond-visual-range attacks. The visibility observed by our human eyes underwater is about 20 meters, and this is still under very good hydrological conditions.

Under normal circumstances, the bottom of the water is relatively turbid, and the visibility is naturally greatly reduced, which is only about ten meters, or even only a few meters away.

The situation on the ocean floor is more complicated, and the visibility will vary with different regions. Even with the depth of the water, the bottom of the water gradually darkens, and the chance of visibility will be equal to zero.

As for our fire control system, the miniature sonar sound collection array can accurately locate objects that emit weak sounds tens of meters or even hundreds of meters away, and judge its type based on underwater voiceprint information. Once the identity of the target is confirmed, the attack can be selected. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaolei paused for a moment, looked at everyone’s reactions, and then continued: “We know that underwater individual combat mainly relies on underwater rifles, harpoons, daggers, hunting crossbows, and various other weapons. Explosives are gone.

As for these weapons, they can only fight at close range. Even the underwater rifle with the longest range has an effective range of twenty or thirty meters. No matter how far away the bullet is, the power of the bullet will be greatly reduced, and it is also a blind shot.

As for underwater submarine operations, it relies on torpedoes and underwater submarine-launched missiles. However, submarine-launched missiles are generally used to attack surface ships ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and land targets.

In underwater operations, submarines mainly rely on torpedoes.

So can we equip this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor with a miniature torpedo, so that it can also have a beyond-the-horizon attack at a distance of 100 meters? ”

Based on this idea, we started the development of miniature individual torpedoes.

We all know that torpedoes are the most complex weapons in the world, and there are only a handful of countries in the world that can independently produce torpedoes, which also shows how difficult it is technically.

And what we want to challenge is a miniature individual torpedo that has never been seen before, which also means that we have to solve a series of technical problems.

First of all, the volume of this miniature individual torpedo must be small enough, very small, the length can only be controlled at about 40 to 50 centimeters, the diameter cannot exceed 6 or 7 centimeters, which is the diameter of a thermos cup, and the weight must be controlled at 10 kilograms one time.

Only in this way can it be easily carried and equipped on this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor.

After solving the weight and volume problems, then we have to solve its most critical guidance method. There are many ways to guide a torpedo. There is only one guidance method suitable for this miniature individual torpedo, active sonar guidance and passive sonar guidance.

Using active sonar guidance technology, we can allow miniature individual torpedoes to attack targets positioned by miniature sonar sound receiving arrays. Of course, this method has a disadvantage, that is, a long optical fiber must be connected behind the torpedo for guidance data transmission.

This is the same as most anti-tank missiles, with a long tail. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
