Chapter 408 Data Link

This time, Yang Xing hurried back to China, in addition to dealing with the backlog of company affairs, mainly accepted the invitation from the military to return to China to attend the National Day parade on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition, he also thanked him for his contribution to the national defense cause in recent years. Chu Tiankuo rushed back to Beijing to attend the acceptance of a major weapon and equipment, which also had a lot to do with Yang Xing. For this reason, he got on Yang Xing's plane and asked him to take a look together. Yang Xing knew that this was Chu Tiankuo's polite words, and he must have other plans. However, after returning to China as a lieutenant colonel, the military has not taken it back. The Air Force also allowed his private plane to be allowed to be released for the first time only half a day in advance. This is already a great kindness, so Chu Tiankuo did not refuse his invitation.

Chu Tiankuo sighed when he heard Yang Xing agreeing to his invitation. Although he was honest, he knew that there were many dark sides within the military. Although the young man in front of him had some minor issues in his private life, he could maintain his position on national justice in comparison. So he only complained about the luxurious decorations in Yang Xing's plane, and was still satisfied with Yang Xing's cooperation in recent years.

However, Yang Xing is not Wu Xia Amon who was the first to meet. After 98 flood fighting and Ukraine's morning operation, his current political status is not as stable as Mount Tai in China, but as solid as a rock. It is difficult for ordinary political storms to shake his status. Just say that the weapon results they rushed to inspect this time were related to the Soviet secret files he retrieved from Ukraine, and also received strong support from Yang Xing's company's technology and funds, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve results so quickly. Now the military has also opened a convenient door for Yang Xing's business. The logistics and air transportation department of Xinghai Trading easily obtained the airport landing rights that other private aviation companies in China are difficult to obtain.

If Yang Xing, a business aircraft hanging under Xinghai Logistics, reports the navigation plan according to normal procedures, it will take two or three days alone. However, under the special care of the Air Force, it is now only necessary to change the sky and declare in advance to pass, and when encountering an emergency, it has the right to take action first and then report. In this case, Xinghai Trading has taken a lot of initiatives than other logistics companies. Before returning to China, Yang Xing had planned to form a transport fleet, and allowed his subordinates to take planes to conveniently travel around in the future, which can greatly improve administrative execution efficiency.

While enjoying the thoughtful service on Yang Xing's plane, Chu Tiankuo talked with Yang Xingdong about the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1999. It was held on May Day and the 11th National Day. In 1989, due to many well-known reasons, the National Day military parade was postponed. After careful calculation, this was the first time that the 10th anniversary was celebrated after the reform and opening up, and the whole country was very excited.

In order to welcome this grand event, all the national leaders were present. Yang Xing was appointed as a representative of the Hong Kong representative to stand on the viewing platform and watch the military parade with his parents. Although he had watched countless times in his previous life, this represented a great honor given to him by the senior management. Chu Tiankuo was envious of him when he heard it. Chu Tiankuo also specifically told him that the weapons of this military parade included the results of the Soviet secret transformation that he brought back. After hearing this, Yang Xing understood that it was fake for Chu Tiankuo, the old fox, to take him to visit, and I am afraid that it was true that he wanted to beg for alms from him.

However, he always felt that he had made so much money easily, and he always had to do something for the country and the people, and did not expose Chu Tiankuo's ideas and asked about his recent situation. Chu Tiankuo retired from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and couldn't stay at home after he retired. He turned around and ran to the Nanjing Institute 042, a subsidiary of the New National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and he became an old consultant. He was a radar communication soldier back then, and Nanjing Institute 042 was the largest radar communication equipment development unit in the entire army. He knew that Yang Xing was a smart person, and after he had politely treated him, he talked about his major. In a few words, he clearly stated that the equipment they accepted together this time was the military data link that Yang Xing was familiar with in his previous life.

Data links are a major milestone in communication technology. Wireless communication has developed greatly during World War II. However, traditional voice communication methods are prone to interference, ambiguity, and low transmission information exposed many problems. Since the 1950s, the West has considered developing a wireless network communication technology and application protocol, which can realize the exchange of data information between airborne, land-based and ship-based tactical data systems, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of tactical systems. It consists of systems and facilities, communication procedures and application protocols. The transmission of information is no longer pure voice information, but expands to large-scale data information such as text, images and real-time images. In fact, the predecessor of the Internet was one of the efforts made by the US side. The military fiber optic communication network that Yang Xing and the military have long developed is also one of them.

The data link system was first used in the US Navy's tactical communication system in 1961. It is also the world's first ship-based and airborne automated communication and command system. Because the data link plays a huge role as a combat power multiplier in actual combat, the West's idea of ​​defeating the number of elite troops against the Warsaw Pact Group was realized. Therefore, it was quickly promoted within the NATO Group, from the initial No. 4 data link to the widely used No. 16 data link, the US side is also developing the next generation No. 22 data link.

How big is the role of data links in wars? Several wars since the 1980s can illustrate. In the Syrian-Bekka Valley air battle in 1982, Syria used MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighters to fight Israel's F-15 and F-16 fighters. Although the two sides were only one generation apart in aircraft, Syria had the advantage in the number of fighters. The result was that Israel only lost one aircraft and achieved amazing results in destroying 19 surface-to-air missile positions and 81 aircraft in Syria!

After the war, experts from all over the world all concluded that the Israeli Air Force's daunting combat power is the high coordination and cooperation between early warning and command control aircraft and fighter aircraft. The equipment that enables real-time high coordination and cooperation between early warning aircraft and fighter aircraft is achieved by relying on the data link system composed of data link terminals on various aircraft. Therefore, the US military calls the data link a "nerve line" of weapons and equipment.

The next year, the US army invaded Grenada, and a US Army unit that was advancing forward was overwhelmed by the fierce firepower of the defenders. Due to incompatibility of the communication system, this US Army unit could not summon the naval force not far away to support it. In an emergency when the communications were not inaccessible, a US Army officer rushed to the US headquarters with a credit card (via satellite line) and asked the command to directly command fighter jets on the battlefield to provide firepower support. This incident caused great losses to the US military. The subsequent review exposed the reasons for the failure of US communications, which further attached great importance to the data link system and greatly accelerated the construction speed.

Seven years later, during the Gulf War, the US military built a primary data link network that could cover the entire battlefield and finally showed its power. The coalition led by the United States came from dozens of countries, and its combat commands and military training were very different. However, under the unified data link command of NATO, hundreds of thousands of troops were like a single army, and the amount of information they had was far greater than that of the Iraqi regular army in front of them. After the battle started more than a hundred hours, the number of tanks and armored vehicles was not inferior to that of the coalition. The Iraqis, who were defeated and fled in a panic, showed the great power of informatization and digital combat in the eyes of people all over the world.

This war also had a huge impact on the domestic and domestic. After observing the pre-war preparations and short-term battles of many countries, the military concluded that the number of soldiers our army had long relied on was in a trend of being outdated in today's wars, so it rose up and started to develop a data link system based on the domestic level. However, my country's information industry has been lagging behind the international level for a long time, and this kind of communication equipment involving the core secrets of the command system will never be sold to us. So the military set its sights on the Russians, a long-term arms supplier in my country.

As the predecessor of Russia, the Soviet military also attached great importance to the importance of the data link system. As early as the 1970s, in order to cope with the advantages of the US Navy aircraft carrier, it designed a saturated attack mode that utilized early data link command, that is, long-range command modes such as satellites were used in the entire war zone to integrate the anti-ship missiles launched by aircraft, ships and submarines through the data links, and attacked the US aircraft carrier air defense circle in batches and uninterrupted until it collapsed.

But the Russians are not fools. Although Russia's economy was quite difficult after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians still had their hands when selling domestic weapons. At that time, the MiG-31, the main air defense force in Russia's Far East, had been in service for many years. In the early 1980s, it was the first to build the prototype of the air force data link before the United States, and carried out ultra-long-range, ultra-visual-range air strikes and interceptions under the command of satellites and early warning aircraft, shocking the world.

However, the early model of the Su-27 fighter purchased by my country in 1992 could only rely on voice for communication. The Russian version of the Su-30mkk purchased has Tsk-2 data links, but the one sold to the Chinese Navy was not installed. We used the Russian power to develop a data link system to prove that this road is not available.

However, domestic military workers have always had a tradition of becoming more and more courageous and began to develop domestic data link systems in the early 1990s. Thanks to the great progress of the domestic electronics industry after the reform, the country has developed its own data link system based on the prototype of its own data link system, after researching the Soviet secret files brought back by Yang Xing last year, Nanjing Institute of 042 finally delivered the first generation of the entire army's digital command and communication system "Red Net" in August this year and began experimental deployment.

Chu Tiankuo was very excited when talking about the "Red Net" system. This was a big leap in the military industry. He proudly told Yang Xing that many military parade vehicles were equipped with their specially made data link terminals. Experiments showed that although there were no major changes in the appearance of the vehicle, the equipment combat effectiveness could be increased exponentially with the "digital core".

The experimental results made the military overjoyed and found that this was the fastest way to improve the combat effectiveness of old equipment without changing the military's active weapons and equipment structure. Imagine that many old equipment in China who are considered backward and about to retire have been rejuvenated after digital transformation. For the military, which is now under tight funds, it is tantamount to a timely help!
