Chapter 1391: Semi-automatic control (1/2)
There is never a lack of sexual thoughts in the head of Führer Cyric, and every one of his thoughts is the best and the easiest to become reality.
If you listen to the thoughts of Führer Cyric, you will feel your own shortcomings. The Führer Cyric proposes that they can be solved by using existing technology. It is such a good idea. It is exactly what she is researching. I was struggling to dream, but I couldn't find it.
Hearing Cyric said that there was a new idea, everyone present pricked their ears. As for Dr. Kalemer, he even directly took out a small notebook, intending to quickly write down the head of Cyric's thoughts.
”Using the joystick is just our first-generation missile combat method. The second-generation missile must be semi-automatically controlled. In other words, the shooter’s task is to aim at the target, and then the missile will fly according to the target specified by the shooter. In the past, the adjustment of missile flight was completely automatic.”
The goal that Cyric put forward is of course what all technicians hope.
The history of later generations is the same. Germany completed the research and development of the Little Red Riding Hood anti-tank missile before the end of World War II. After the war, out of fear of the Soviet armor torrent, European countries began to invest in the research of anti-tank missiles.
Britain’s “vigilance”, Switzerland/West Germany’s “Cobra”, Sweden’s “Bantham”, etc. Among them, SS10/11 studied by the French was the earliest and most influential.
It can be said that this first-generation missile was considered a success, allowing infantry to kill enemy tanks at a long distance. However, the United States gave up the first-generation anti-tank missiles and only purchased a large number of French SS10/SS11 missiles as test samples. .
In this way, many people in democratic countries are unhappy. At that time, many lawmakers accused the Army of ”rapidly” giving up a powerful weapon.
In the face of such doubts, the military’s solution is to invite a few of the most popular ”sting-head congressmen” to observe the launch of the SS11. Anyone who has observed the missile test will instantly overwhelm the impression of the missile.
This thing is simply joking!
It is not so much a missile as it is a large model airplane. The operator uses the joystick to control the aiming frame to lock the target, transmit data to the missile to control the trajectory, and finally hit the target. This is how the later generations controlled the drone to hit the target.
During these tens of seconds, the shooter must maintain a high level of concentration, and the missile will be out of control if it is not careful. Because the altitude is very low, it is easy to fall on the ground. At the same time, the smoke and flames of the missile will expose the shooter. The target will also affect the shooter's observation.
In actual flight, it will go up and down, left and right, and it is doing irregular Brownian motion. It depends on luck to hit the target!
Therefore, the Americans simply ignored this and jumped over to take the initiative.
Under the technical conditions of World War II, the use of joystick control is in line with the characteristics of this era. This is why Cyric agreed to the first generation of missiles to enter the military service.
But this can only be a foreshadowing, the most suitable solution is to come up with a semi-automatic one!
Semi-automatic means that during the launch process, the shooter still has to aim at the target until the missile hits. If it is fully automatic, then it will be ignored after launching, and the personnel can retreat after launching the missile.
Now Cyric has proposed semi-automatic control. If this is possible, it would of course be the best, but is it possible?
