Not long ago, the first Qualcomm mass communication satellite "Shi Jian 13" launched by China has entered the working state after on-orbit debugging. This satellite adopts frequency band multi-beam broadband communication system, and its total communication capacity exceeds 20Gbps, which exceeds the sum of all communication satellites previously developed in China. According to the aerospace department, because the satellite communication terminal is extremely light and small, the "Practice 13" satellite can provide powerful mobile broadband communication capability, which is very convenient for all kinds of vehicles or even a single person to carry. In the future, the effect of passengers surfing the Internet on airplanes, ships, high-speed trains and other means of transportation will be significantly improved. The literal definition is clear: this satellite has a high civil capability.
However, through various trace analysis, the US military feels extremely uneasy, and this satellite can easily provide military communication capabilities! The US military itself now has several dedicated Qualcomm satellites in use! And through the analysis, American intelligence personnel also found a very shocking trace: China is developing cruise missiles, which are broadcast live on TV! About a year ago, a very strange picture of a cruise missile appeared on the network of China, which was very similar to the Long Sword 20 missile in appearance, but the warhead was very similar to the infrared TV guided barrel used in the KD88 air-to-ground missile. At that time, many people did not understand the design of this cruise missile: the range of cruise missiles can reach thousands of kilometers. How do rear personnel receive signals from TV-guided missiles? The range of KD88 is only 200 kilometers. The pilot can directly receive the target image returned by the missile on the plane, and control the missile to hit the target accurately in the mode of "man in the loop". However, after the cruise missile hits more than 1000 km, due to the curvature of the earth, it can't receive the signal at all, and of course it can't control the missile to attack the target. At that time, some people even claimed that the US military did not master the remote real-time image receiving and control technology of cruise missiles, and it was unthinkable for China to develop such TV-guided cruise missiles.
There are already cruise missiles with TV seeker on the Internet.
But now that Americans put China TV cruise missile and Qualcomm's mass communication satellite together, all doubts are instantly solved: China is indeed developing long-range TV guided cruise missiles! As for the information transmission between the missile and the rear controller, it is completed by the "Practice 13" satellite! Assuming that the China H -6K bomber launches a Long Sword 20 cruise missile at an island target 3000 kilometers off the coast of China, the cruise missiles can transmit information to each other through "Practice 16"; When the cruise missile reaches the target area, the image obtained by the infrared camera of the missile will be sent back to the rear controller through the satellite. After receiving the real-time image, the controller can also send a control signal to the missile through the satellite to make it fly to the target selected by the controller to strike. In this attack mode, the signal transmission ability of communication satellites plays an absolutely critical role. In the past, due to insufficient bandwidth and large terminal antenna, communication satellites could only be remotely controlled by large unmanned aerial vehicles with large directional antennas. Now "Shijian 16" satellite can be equipped with a small terminal antenna on the cruise missile, and finally the cruise missile also has the ability of long-distance data transmission and control.
Course control can be achieved by satellite cruise missiles.
Long-range cruise missiles can be guided by live television, which means that China has the world's leading advanced weapons. If war breaks out, China will be able to control these cruise missiles to carry out precise strikes on distant targets, and this strike mode is extremely flexible. For example, if a cruise missile is shot down in flight, the controller can instruct other missiles to replace the attack; If the attacked target has been destroyed, the controller can instruct the missile to attack other targets; If the target is covered by smoke or maneuvered to avoid, the controller can also instruct the missile to hover and wait,,,,,, and these on-site contingency capabilities are not available to cruise missiles flying according to procedures in the past; Moreover, this guidance method can also make cruise missiles have the ability to attack moving targets, including missile launch vehicles, mobile radars, surface ships and so on. The controller can determine the nature of the above target only according to the image returned by the missile, and guide the cruise missile to attack the moving target. As far as the current US-Russian cruise missiles are concerned, they do not have similar moving target selection and attack capabilities at present.
Real-time images can be returned even if Wan Li missiles are separated, and real-time images can be returned even if Wan Li missiles are separated.
Advanced long-range guidance capability, if combined with a long-range launching platform, will give China the ability of "global acupuncture". Long-range strategic bombers, warships and nuclear submarines deployed in various sea areas can be equipped with this cruise missile with satellite live guidance capability. In an emergency, these platforms only need to launch cruise missiles, while the missile controllers in China directly control these missiles to fly to the war zone through satellites, and finally kill the target through the real-time image of the missiles "Wan Li piercing Yang". This not only makes all opponents respect their excellent global strike capability, but also makes the US military feel "thrown out of the street again"!
