Of course, Qin Tairan had no problem with Duke's request. Nothing that Duke wanted needed to be redeveloped. Although the performance of some things was really unsatisfactory, Duke would use it. Soon Duke's team formed a complete monitoring system for these things.

This system is divided into two types: air and ground. The ground station is composed of a satellite pot with a diameter of more than 2 meters, a long antenna and a black box. The satellite pot is of course used to collect related communication signals. A satellite pot with 270-degree three-dimensional rotation can ensure that it can receive signals at the best angle. The antenna is a communication antenna used to exchange information with the central station.

And that black box-like thing is a main control system used to analyze the collected signals, then record useful information and forward them. Such a system can basically monitor the signals sent by the Global Hawk within a radius of 200 kilometers. Of course, it is necessary to locate the general activity space of the Global Hawk, and it is impossible to deploy such a large distance range.

If a mesh monitoring network is deployed within 150 kilometers, this ground system can capture the tail of the Global Hawk. That is to say, in the deployment of more than a dozen such ground monitoring, it can monitor an area of ​​thousands of kilometers in a radius to determine whether there is any invasion of the Global Hawk.

Compared with its cost of more than 200,000 yuan, this monitoring system is affordable and affordable.

Of course the only question now is whether it can catch the tail of the Global Hawk.

Although after this system is completed, domestic drones will be used to simulate and send signals from the Global Hawk communication band, the system can accurately receive and quickly feedback the areas where the drone is active, and basically the error of the simulation test will not exceed 50 kilometers.

This is higher than the initial theoretical value. Duke analyzed the reason and found that it may be atmospheric reasons. The air above the test site is dry and there is less interference with signal propagation in the air. However, the situation on the sea surface is much more complicated, so this simulation test value is a bit optimistic, and it should not be so ideal in the real application environment.

But this system is indeed quite feasible.

The air-based monitoring system that can be installed on the aircraft is also tested to lock the general direction of the signal source according to the strength of the received signal. This change in information intensity can allow the fighter to follow the drone like navigation information.

After such a struggle, when the system was initially optimized and established, it was already autumn. Duke's second child was born. Shu Ya added a big fat boy to Duke. This fat boy was very popular as soon as he was born. Not only did he talk about his godfather and godmother, but several military bosses also jointly gave him some memorable gifts.

Duke stayed at home for a month. After his child was full month, the Global Hawk surveillance system deployed in a sensitive area along the coast did not show any performance. I don’t know if there was a system problem or the US military did not send the Global Hawk to conduct routine reconnaissance during this period. This monitoring system that Duke had high hopes for even the shadow of the Global Hawk had never caught.

Without actual test results, Duke was a little unable to stay. He carefully reviewed the system and confirmed that there would be no problems in principle. The only problem now may be that the target is not dispatched. However, the installation of ground stations is not easy, and it is difficult to move a nest. It is necessary to predict which areas are often present by opponents. Then he also needs to find suitable islands to place monitoring systems in these areas. The distribution of these islands with points must be set according to certain rules and distances, so there is not much room for choice.

Of course, if it can be placed directly on the sea, there will be no such trouble. However, it is easy to choose a location on the sea, and it is very difficult to ensure the safety of equipment. Putting a small boat may allow you to place all these things, but don’t forget that the sea situation is complex and changeable, and the tide is rising and falling. Such a small boat may be overturned by the sea waves in a few days and sink to the bottom of the sea.

Duke's method of waiting for the rabbit seems like that, but the effect of real implementation is not as wonderful as imagined.

But this is not the most troublesome place. The most troublesome thing is that when these ground stations receive the initial signal from Global Hawk, they must have fighter jets with an air monitoring system to track. That is to say, there must be more than three fighter jets on standby at any time in the target area, which is going to be deadly. Duke's mission was sent to the Air Force as a high-priority combat readiness mission. The Air Force dispatched a flight squadron to perform this mission, which was already very embarrassing.

If he had been in this state of waiting for a long time, I'm afraid the Air Force would not be able to endure it for long. To be honest, although Qin Tairan, who has been dealing with Duke for a long time, is very confident in Duke, but for people on the outside, although Duke is a genius scientist, he has specialized in his profession after all, and some people in the Air Force actually remain suspicious of the things Duke has made.

There are so many tactics and tactics that everyone designed for this thing before, but basically the effect is not great. Occasionally, they can bump into one or two times, they are blind cats and dead rats. If Duke makes such a struggle, he can catch the tail of the Global Hawk. Fortunately, Duke has not said that he can accurately position it. Wouldn't it mean that everyone was too stupid and incompetent before?

For Cheng Chongjin, the flight squadron leader who was on standby, the task he was accepting is really nonsense. Fortunately, this is a confidential task arranged by his superiors. The other flight squadrons in the regiment did not know what their squadron was doing when they were loaded with a sub-fuel tank all day long. When Cheng Chongjin encountered Cheng Chongjin, he was a little envious and indirect. After all, pilots like them who flew a certain type of J-7 are considered second-tier lines. It is too difficult to transfer to the new model of J-10 or J-11.

Although they are also deployed on the coast, they will not have anything to do in ordinary situations. After all, they face strong opponents in the coastal area. The war eagles under their seats lack the ability to fight beyond the visual range, and generally speaking, they are equivalent to being targets for others. Therefore, in this case, it is too strange that Cheng Chongjin and their squadron can get a task.

"Don't inquire, we're just on standby. The specific tasks have to be directly arrived at the headquarters. We don't know what to do." Cheng Chongjin said with a careless eye. On the one hand, this matter has confidentiality requirements, and on the other hand, Cheng Chongjin thinks that this task is indeed not reliable. Relying on their fast-moving J-7 to track the most advanced drone today, it may make people laugh if they say it out.

Their squadrons have trained the use of the monitoring system invented by Duke. There is also the function of indicating tracking and navigation in the on-board monitoring system. If you don’t have training, you can’t figure out how to use it. Therefore, the three of them are very clear about the goal of this task. Cheng Chongjin said this and said lies with his eyes open.

"Take it down, Old Cheng, don't forget to treat me when you make a contribution." The comrades knew that some things should not be asked about. Since Cheng Chongjin was unwilling to say them, it was basically a confidential task. So although everyone was still a little curious, they knew that it was enough to stop.

"Look at us just staying like this, why are we going to make contributions?" Cheng Chongjin smiled bitterly. "It's better than you. At least you can still maintain normal flights. You can learn more skill and adapt to new models in the future."
