Chapter 324 Electrostatic Proximity Fuze

If in the previous life, a senior officer did not understand the relationship between anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft artillery systems, he would definitely have killed him with tofu. However, now, the Chinese army has not even achieved basic modernization, and many technical equipment are simply useless.

I don’t know, but Jiang Zhenhai is one of them. m. The most data-saving and ad-free website for mobile phones.

Wise, conscientious, hard-working and experienced, he is a master at both the front line and logistics. However, apart from the most basic artillery, modern high-tech arms such as armor, engineering, chemical defense, air defense, etc. are very unfamiliar.

Methods and limitations of the times have obscured the eyes of outstanding officers like Jiang Zhenhai.

However, a Korean War made them see clearly what true modernization is. Because of this, they are like a civil war. They learn war in the war, understand high-tech weapons in the war, and appreciate true modernization. This is also the case at this moment.

Jiang Zhenhai.

In his past impression, the anti-aircraft artillery force, as the name suggests, uses anti-aircraft guns. Regardless of the system or not, the gun tubes are pointed towards the sky for a while. Until he heard Bai Yi's explanation of the so-called anti-aircraft artillery system.

After the explanation, I discovered that it turns out that anti-aircraft artillery is not as simple as shooting towards the sky. The secret behind it is not as easy as directing operations on the front line.

"I really didn't expect that there are so many tunnels here. Don't tell me, when I walked by, I actually saw a few iron boxes in a half-bunker, with a long iron pipe hanging on them.

, I heard from comrades in the anti-aircraft artillery unit that that guy was the commander, and I didn’t think anything of it at the time. But now that you’ve said it, this thing actually has such a great effect!”

Jiang Zhenhai nodded thoughtfully, but the next moment he shook his head: "But you just said that you can guarantee that you can hit a target in about a hundred rounds. Could it be that what...what is your name?"

With?"

"Static Electric Proximity Fuze!"

Bai Yi reminded, Jiang Zhenhai slapped his thigh: "Yes, it is this electrostatic proximity fuze. Can it really save half of the original ammunition?"

Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh to himself. Jiang Zhenhai was indeed a logistics professional. After understanding what an anti-aircraft artillery system was, the objects he focused on were not the radars, commanders, and optical rangefinders he just mentioned. They were actually able to reduce the amount of ammunition fired.

Proximity fuse.

But when you think about it, you feel relieved. The most effective way for anti-aircraft artillery to perform air defense operations is to form a dense barrage, making it impossible for invading enemy aircraft to avoid it. How can you increase the density of the barrage? In the proximity fuze

Before it appeared, there were only two ways. The first was to increase the rate of fire of anti-aircraft guns; the second was to increase the number of anti-aircraft guns when setting up anti-aircraft positions.

Because of this, every time the anti-aircraft artillery unit conducts air defense operations, the amount of ammunition consumed is a terrifying figure. As a senior officer in charge of logistics, Jiang Zhenhai may not understand what an anti-aircraft artillery system is, but he knows firsthand what the anti-aircraft artillery unit provides.

Logistical stress.

A combat operation requires at least two or three bases of ammunition. Jiang Zhenhai can't help but tremble just thinking about it. He wants to save money so as to free up more resources to protect the front-line combat troops, but he loses the important location of the anti-aircraft artillery unit.

Air defense cover, transportation hubs, communication centers, command centers, storage warehouses and other strategic locations located in the rear have lost their protective barriers, and the Air Force aircraft alone cannot cope with them.

Because of this, the ammunition supply for the anti-aircraft artillery unit not only cannot be saved, but also has to be given as much as possible. This makes Jiang Zhenhai, who comprehensively coordinates the supply of materials among various services and arms, a headache. Now he heard that electrostatic proximity fuzes were installed.

The anti-aircraft ammunition can save nearly half of the ammunition. How could he, who is in charge of logistics, not be overjoyed.

Bai Yi initially decided to improve the fuze of anti-aircraft ammunition, just to get twice the result with half the effort accompanying air defense in logistics transportation. He did not expect that it would indirectly reduce the pressure on logistics. But when he figured out the joints, he couldn't help but feel happy: "That's right.

It can indeed reduce the amount of ammunition by half. You must know that according to statistics from the US military during World War II, when using traditional fuzes for air defense operations, the average amount of ammunition consumed to bring down an aircraft is 546 rounds;

However, the shells using radio proximity fuzes consume only 57 rounds to bring down an aircraft. Our electrostatic proximity fuzes are not as efficient as radio proximity fuzes and cannot reach the nearly ten-fold reduction target. However,

It’s still okay if it drops by half!”

"After saying a lot, these few words get to the point. Saving ammunition, reducing logistical burdens, and improving assembly efficiency are the focus of our logistics work. Hey, by the way, why don't you make the efficiency higher?

How about a radio proximity fuse? That’s ten times the amount of ammunition, ten times..."

Jiang Zhenhai's surprises can be said to be one after another, but Bai Yi's head was full of black threads. He dared to say that so many things related to air defense did not mention the key points. Instead, the fuze that can save ammunition became the top priority, but the problem

If a radio proximity fuse could be developed, he would have done so long ago.

It's just that today's country simply can't manufacture the sophisticated and complex circuit boards used in radio proximity fuzes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to give up the useful radio proximity fuzes and choose the somewhat unconventional electrostatic proximity fuzes. To be honest, it's nothing more than static electricity.

The principle and structure of the proximity fuze are extremely simple:

It only requires two dry batteries, a spark arrester, an electric igniter and an electrical stage insulated from the fuze shell. The electromotive force of the battery is chosen to be slightly smaller than the release voltage of the spark arrester, so there is no current flowing through the electric ignition before approaching the target.

device.

When the artillery shell approaches the target, a potential difference is generated between the electrode and the fuze shell, and is fed back into the circuit. Due to the existence of the potential difference, the voltage added to the lead of the spark arrester will increase, and will be proportional to the approach of the target.

Increases until a certain distance is reached, and the high-intensity electrostatic load released by the target causes the total voltage of the spark arrester to reach a sufficient value for the electrical spark discharge, eventually triggering the electric igniter and igniting the explosive in the warhead.

The principle of static electricity on objects that can be seen everywhere, and an ordinary static electricity receiving circuit, can be used to create a very lethal electrostatic proximity fuse. For an object like an airplane that can generate thousands of static electricity loads due to warning at any time, static electricity

Proximity fuses have their own uses, not to mention that this mature and effective proximity fuse was used by Germany as early as World War II. However, Germany at that time regarded it as a treasure and would never install it unless it was a top-notch precision guided munition.

Such fuzes.

It is precisely because of this that although Germany has many anti-aircraft artillery, it is not as sharp as the air defense forces of the British and American allies. However, all this has completely changed because of Bai Yi, because he has tasked Chen Yaoyang and others to use German experts such as Stuttenberg.
