No wonder the head of the headquarters is so surprised. There are no domestic projects for supporting aircraft equipment such as pilot helmet sights.
The Su-27 imitation project undertaken by Northeast Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd. includes a supporting development project for a Russian-made pilot helmet sight.
The problem is that the project is in the Northeast and North China, and at this moment the head of the headquarters is in the Southwest, which is thousands of miles away from the Northeast.
Logically speaking, there should be no such thing, but in the end, not only did this place magically appear, but it also made a more complicated helicopter helmet.
Yes, in the 1990s, the pilot helmets of advanced armed helicopters represented by the Apache were cross-linked with airborne infrared detection devices, missile seekers, and airborne fire control devices, making the Apache armed helicopters Pilots can be freed from complicated flight operations and target recognition. They only need to use the rotation of their heads and the gaze of their eyes, combined with the integrated weapon joystick, to achieve the sci-fi feat of "shooting wherever they look".
Based on this, the American Apache helicopter gunships were able to sweep across Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War. So many Apache pilots said domineeringly in interviews after the war:
"When I see an Iraqi tank, it's dead.
For a time, people who didn't know what was going on felt that the United States was too powerful, and advanced weapons were used to decide who would die, and all kinds of groveling came one after another. But those who understood the truth also offered their knees. They didn't do it because of science fiction or not, but because of themselves. From the inside out, there is a sense of sadness that the older you get, the less courageous you become.
As for why, it is very simple. Because I know too much, I understand the strong technological strength of Americans.
First of all, microelectronics. All search equipment and attack equipment are all cross-linked to the helmet. This itself requires very powerful information and data processing capabilities. The chips, software, architecture, and algorithms are all at the forefront of related fields.
Secondly, the weight of the helmet itself must be controlled. With so many things combined, it cannot put a physical burden on the pilot. After all, pilots often have to withstand large overloads when flying, which puts a lot of pressure on the neck and spine. The big piece of iron weighing more than ten kilograms is fine for normal flight. However, once an overload maneuver is performed, the pilot will most likely be unable to withstand the load of the helmet and be directly twisted off.
Therefore, the overall weight of this type of pilot helmet must be controlled below 2 kilograms. What is the concept? The weight of the domestic 80-type steel helmet is 1.25 kilograms. The weight of the two helmets exceeds the specifications of this type of pilot helmet that can be seen and destroyed. .
The problem is that nothing can be put on the helmet, but the pilot helmet has to inherit a variety of integrated circuits and complex components. But even so, the overall weight cannot exceed 2 kilograms, which requires careful selection of helmet materials. It has to be high-end, lightweight materials, and it has to be down to every screw.
There are very few high-end lightweight materials, and they have to be as detailed as screws, so you can imagine how difficult it is.
Finally, and the most critical thing is the visual optical equipment. It is not difficult to imagine that all information can be read by both eyes, while maintaining extremely high light transmittance and not affecting the pilot's normal flight field of vision.
Although light transmission, display, and integration are just small optical display devices, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can produce such high value-added optical lenses. Currently, only the United States and Europe have relevant industrial production capabilities. Other countries , not even Russia can reach the technical level of Europe and the United States.
Without advanced optical equipment, no matter how good the front processing is, the pilot's helmet will not be able to achieve the super ability of seeing and destroying everything.
However, all this seems to be completely overturned by the Jizhi-12 in the sky.
I saw a 77-type 12.7mm heavy machine gun integrated on the remote control platform installed below the Z-12 helicopter, which is only more than 20 meters above the ground. A spherical optical detector is installed on the nose of the aircraft. Covered with antennas and sensors, the entire Z-12 helicopter looks very nondescript.
But the head of the headquarters is not concerned about these. Instead, he is staring directly at the movements of the Type 77 heavy machine gun and spherical optical detector.
Rather than the traditional pointing of weapons and detection equipment through a weapon remote control joystick, the pilot can easily operate weapons and ejection equipment by turning his head. What does this mean?
The helmet on the head of the Z-12 helicopter pilot has cross-linked weapons and detection systems to achieve precise control of the helmet's directivity.
??As for this technology, apart from the American Apache and Comanche, there is no third example that realizes rotation and swing control of cannons and optical sensors.
Because this involves a very complex technical problem, that is, the co-directional interaction and cooperation of laser gyroscopes.
??In other words, the pilot does not just move his head casually, and the weapons and detection equipment below really dance together, but because all three have small laser gyroscopes embedded inside, which are then connected in series through electrical signals and set according to the mathematical model. The swing angle between the three is good, so that the pilot can slightly raise his head, the machine gun and optical detector will rise at a large angle, lower his head, and the two will stare at the ground.
So much so that the machine gun and optical probe are like the pilot¡¯s loyal partners, unconditional followers as the pilot faces one enemy after another.
Regardless of anything else, this scene alone made the head of the headquarters feel passionate and excited.
I really didn¡¯t expect that one day I would see this kind of advanced helmet system that is comparable to the world on domestic helicopters. Even if it is just a temporarily modified and ugly Z-12, the head of the headquarters believes that it will not be long before domestic helicopters The armed helicopters will be equipped with this type of advanced pilot helmet system.
"Chief, when did you come here?"
Just when the head of the headquarters was looking up at the helicopter in the sky with fascination, a familiar shout came from his ears. The head of the headquarters looked for the sound and found that Zhuang Jianye had run over against the wind kicked up by the helicopter at some point.
The head of the headquarters was not polite to Zhuang Jian. He pointed to the landing helicopter and shouted regardless of the noise: "Did you make the new helmet on the pilot's head?"
Zhuang Jianye smiled proudly upon hearing this and shouted in the loudest voice he could: "That is the latest research result of our Ascendas Group Optoelectronics Research Institute, the 'Sniper' pilot helmet integrated display system."
"Comprehensive display system?" The head of the headquarters immediately grasped the key point in Zhuang Jianye's words, and frowned subconsciously: "It's not just about displaying targets?"
Zhuang Jianye¡¯s smile became even brighter: ¡°The real target is just the primary function of the integrated display system of the ¡®Sniper¡¯ pilot helmet. Its real ability is to see through everything!¡±
