After the war ended, the Republic Army planned to invest in the development of a brand new ground and air combat platform based on the problems exposed by various war equipment. Affected by the third military reform and the changes of the General Staff, the Army's "major change of dress-up thugs" was not supported and was shelved by the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense.

It was not until the year of Ye that Pei Chengyi became Minister of Defense and that defense expenditures recovered and the Army reiterated its replacement plan.

It was in this year that Pei Chengyi personally approved the preliminary development funds for two main combat platforms with a total amount of up to 100 million yuan, and instructed the Logistics Department of the General Staff and the Army Command to come up with specific performance indicators in the fiscal year and bid for production enterprises. Because Yuan Chenhao, the director of the Logistics Department of the General Staff at that time, was Yuan Chenhao. Therefore, the instructions issued by Pei Chengyi were quickly implemented.

At the beginning of the year, the Army sent bidding documents to several major arms dealers for the main combat platform on the ground and main combat platforms in the air.

Like the 3-thug series main battle tank "10,000 series vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, the new generation of ground main battle platform and air main battle platform are both common platforms. The difference is that the Army did not strictly distinguish the combat nature of main battle equipment this time. Instead, it requires major manufacturers to consider tactical universality when designing, that is, to adapt to various combat environments and combat needs only when the scope of the divination is changed.

Take the ground main battle platform as an example. The main battle tank and infantry fighting vehicle are no longer strictly distinguished, but the nature of combat is distinguished based on the different attack weapon systems and loading systems. That is, the large-caliber electromagnetic cannons are equipped, and the main battle tanks are equipped with small-caliber electromagnetic machine guns, and the infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with infantry fighting vehicles. More importantly, these two main battle platforms can be adjusted in the army or even on the front line, that is, the functional modules can be replaced very conveniently to achieve the purpose of quickly changing combat capabilities.

There is no doubt that this design requirement is very funny with the problems exposed by the Republican Army in the Middle East.

According to the practical experience of the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit in the Middle East War, in most cases, the use range and use strength of infantry combat vehicles exceeded that of the main battle tank. Although this statistical result is biased and the situation of the combat opponent is not fully considered, after subdivision, it can be found that when fighting against the Turkish National Army, the use range and use strength of the concave and Yiqi infantry combat vehicle did exceed that of the main battle tank. It can also perform almost all frontal combat tasks.

When the US Army was fighting, Xu Yichi's use intensity exceeded that of the ignite, and could only perform the frontal combat tasks of approximately ships. Almost all attack tasks and armored battles had to be handed over to ignite. However, from the perspective of technological development, infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks will eventually be together and become a separate ground combat platform. Even if many key technologies have not yet made breakthroughs, the Republic Army should make bold attempts, occupy the commanding heights of technical and tacticality, and continue to lead the development trend of the main battle platform on the ground.

From this perspective, the Republican authorities are willing to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Army's main battle platform project to conduct preliminary research, and are also putting pressure on competitors.

You should know that the US Army's main warfare posed a threat to the main combat equipment of the Republic's Army in the Middle East War, especially in several urban wars. The US military fully utilized the complex environment of the city and made the Republic's Army pay a significant price. If the Republic's Army cannot continue to lead in equipment performance, if it wants to balance the United States, it can only expand the size of the army. Obviously, the cost of expanding the army is far more than that of several new equipment.

In any case, the Republic Army will sincerely create the world's most advanced ground main battle platform this time.

Not to mention, the early theoretical research and project rules were only carried out by nearly three to the end of the year, that is, after the Ministry of Defense obtained the management authority of the defense budget, the ground main combat platform project entered the design stage from the theoretical stage. At the beginning of the following year, the Army and China National Heavy Industry Group, which won the project planning bid, signed a system design and development contract worth 800 million yuan, requiring the two groups to produce engineering samples for performance testing within three years and submit detailed procurement and use cost statements.

At the forefront, this is the first time that the Republic's Army has introduced competition in the engineering stage of major main battle platform projects.

In the past, only bidding for the early theoretical research and project thugs stage will be carried out, and the winner will receive a contract for the engineering design and development stage and will serve as the main contractor of the system. In order to ensure that other arms companies can develop and maintain the competitiveness of the arms industry, when formal procurement is made, the Army will allow those manufacturers who fail to bid to participate in the construction work as sub-contractors or system contractors.

Introducing competition in the engineering stage means that all winners win and all losers lose.

There is no doubt that this is even more cruel competition.

This also reflects the national defense construction concept of the Republican authorities. After years of rapid development, especially the incentive effect of several large-scale foreign wars, by the time of the century, the Republic not only owned the world's largest arms companies among the world's old arms companies, but the Republic occupied the country. They were China National Heavy Industry Group, China AVIC Group, Northern Heavy Industry, China Ammunition Group Corporation and Jiangnan Shipyard Military Ship Branch. The top three ranked first, Wuyu ranked fourth, and Bad has the largest military and business system in the world. From a shocking battle to an amazing Wuwan. In comparison, only three arms companies in the United States have entered the world's old strengths, and the best Lockheed Martin is only ranked third. Boeing and Northrop ranked fifth and eighth respectively, while only thugs in the US arms industry

The scale of the republic is only 7 gills. Although the Republic's arms industry surpasses the United States in terms of production efficiency vehicles, that is, the output value of the US arms industry is only the irrigation of the Republic, in the long run, even if it faces the threat of a world war, the Republic does not need to maintain such a large military industrial system, and there is no need to retain so many large arms dealers. If the impact of advanced technology on the performance of weapons and equipment is increasing, and the proportion of science and technology investment in arms development is increasing, it is more reasonable to integrate the military industry, and only three large arms groups are needed to meet the Republic's national defense needs. If international cooperation is included, such as North Korea and Pakistani arms companies participating in the development of future individual combat systems, there is no reason to worry that the Republic's military industrial system will be weakened.

In fact, arms production has long been "international cooperation".

It is naturally international cooperation to the Republic export weapons and equipment to the world, and to help allies and friendly countries improve their military industry strength through cooperative means. It is naturally an international cooperation. It is important that since the beginning of the Peninsula War, the Republic's authorities relaxed the control of subcontractors of the military industry, allowing some friendly countries with strong strength to participate in the development and production of defense equipment in the Republic as secondary contractors. For example, in the Biyiyan series of main battle tanks, the integrated liquid vapor suspension system in the walking mechanism is from the National Arsenal Factory in Pakistan.

The driver's periscope and vehicle-team vision system were developed and produced by Malaysia's Yitian Precision Instrument Equipment Company. Even if some cutting-edge equipment, such as the fire control radar used by small and old series of fighters, some high-frequency electronic tubes were produced by North Korean electronic companies. As for weapons and ammunition that do not have much technical content, such as the bullet bodies of the kilogram-level electromagnetic cannon shells, composite helmets in infantry equipment, etc., they are all produced in countries with relatively cheap labor such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and some are simply subcontracted to overseas companies.

In any case, the Republican authorities want to take this opportunity to integrate the military industry.

In this way, the competition for the main ground battle platform of the army becomes extremely cruel. In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the future individual combat system has to go through four rounds of bidding to finally achieve victory or defeat. For those arms companies that have made a fortune in the past many years, the real test will come at this time. A little-minded businessman knows that the military industry of the Republic is like the US military industry at the end of the century and the beginning of the century. Whoever can win the bid and obtain several major defense equipment projects will survive and dominate the Republic's defense equipment market in the next few decades, and even dominate the global arms market.

For China National Heavy Industry Corporation and Northern Heavy Industry, three years are not short or long.

In 2 months of distillation, China National Chung Hsing Group thugs in advance and the results of the old B-Y contract, namely the oral engineering sample and the cost statement for the purchase and use of the whole life.

Because it took too much energy to spend on the future individual combat system, it was not until March of the year that Northern Heavy Industry handed over the contract answer sheet.

There is no doubt that the gap in these more than three months is enough to determine the success or failure of the two companies.

Although the project approval takes about thugs, it will take until the end of March of the year to decide which company's design plan to be adopted and enter the engineering production stage. However, according to the comparison tests in the previous few months, the design plan of Zhonghe Group has obvious advantages, and Zhonghe Group is strong and can control costs during the engineering production stage, and the project cost growth will not be too large. If we consider the importance of Zhonghe Group in the Republic's military industrial system and its strong influence in the Republic's industrial community, the Republic's Army has no reason to throw hydrangea to other companies. The new address of this site has been changed to: Gong Shan, please read by Gong Shan!

In a sense, the loss of the future individual combat system by China National Chung HSG Group is related to the Army's ground main combat platform.

It can even be said that after the Ministry of National Defense made a ruling, China National Heavy Industry Group still insisted on making an argument, threatening to go to the all-congress to distract Northern Heavy Industry from its attention and allow this slightly inferior arms company to desperately protect the fat that has already been eaten in its mouth and cannot compete with China National Heavy Industry Group in the main battle platform project.

You should know that after the ground main combat platform project is fully launched, the Republic Army and Marine Corps alone will spend trillions of yuan to replace the equipment this year. If the potential demand in the international arms market is included, the total value will exceed the old trillion yuan. In comparison, the market share of tens of billions of yuan in the future of individual combat systems will be insignificant.

In fact, the design of Zhongsheng Group is indeed very advanced.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic to strive for the project phase budget for the Army's ground main battle platform project, in the relevant data mentioned in the project book of the Military Committee of the All Congress in early July of the year, in the design indicators of the China National Heavy Industry Group, the total mass of the combat platform, that is, the chassis, energy system, walking system and basic electrical system, is when the old land-mounted battle tanks are standardized. In addition to the strong foundation of the design team of the China National Heavy Industry Group, the combat quality of the platform is between the old tons and the ugly tons. According to the protection level, the combat quality of the platform is between the old tons and the ugly tons. The main battle tanks of the Shanghai ignition series are reduced by about % when the infantry station is armed with the standard, the increase is between ton and ton. The VCD Blade series infantry fighting vehicles is reduced by about vaguely. The ability to control the combat quality within such a low range is beyond the strong foundation of the design team of the China National Heavy Industry Group, and it is also a big laughing system with the large number of new armor and high-level composite batteries.

In the entire design, the most eye-catching thing is its quick replacement combat module.

Technical inspection of the design indicators of Zhongsheng Group, under the basic conditions of field logistics support, the team members of the skirt team, the chariot commander, the gunner and the driver can complete the replacement of the combat module in blade minutes. In fact, the conversion work is very simple. In addition to replacing the unmanned turret, only the combat cabin needs to be replaced. The key is on the "combat cabin". Even if the turret is not replaced, as long as the "command cabin is equipped with an infantry cabin, it is an infantry combat vehicle, and the "ammunition cabin is equipped with an additional ammunition. It is the main battle tank. Because it adopts a modular design and the infantry combat vehicle does not require large-caliber electromagnetic cannons, the unmanned turret and combat cabin are produced and transported together, and can be loaded and unloaded at the same time.

During the Army's test, the design philosophy of Zhongzhong Group was highly praised.

In the words of the Army testers! Even tank soldiers who have not been trained can complete the conversion work within minutes with the help of the user manual.

It can be said that this is this "fool-like" design, which allows Zhongzhong Group to win the Army's

gaze.

For the Republic Army, the new ground main battle platform is definitely a revolutionary weapon and equipment.

At the beginning of the year, some people predicted that China National Heavy Group would win the bidding scarf, and used the new ground main battle platform numbered as the project to completely cover the army's traditional tactics, allowing the army to officially enter the era of "full attack and full defense", thus triggering a global military ideological revolution. Before that, any kilogram of the country's army had some emphasis. For example, the Republic's Army was good at attack, while the US Army was good at defense. In terms of comprehensive combat capabilities, no country's army could show both offense and defense.

At most, the weakness of this ability is only used to deal with the enemy's shortcomings. In local wars, this ability defect is not a big problem, after all, any pound. When planning a war, the leaders of a country will fully consider the combat characteristics of their own troops. Not to mention, in several large-scale local wars that have led to the century-long large-scale local wars, the Republic's Army rarely allowed the ground main forces who were good at attack to perform defensive combat tasks. In order to obtain defensive combat capabilities, several airborne brigades were set up under three airborne troops.

If the Republic Army can usher in the era of "all offensive and all defense", it will once again leave the US Army behind.

There is no doubt that the key is on the main battle platform.

As we all know, in offensive operations, the importance of the main battle tank exceeds that of the infantry fighting vehicles. If the number of equipment of the main battle tank is not limited, many commanders would not let the infantry fighting vehicles charge into battle. In defensive operations, the role of the infantry fighting vehicles exceeds that of the main battle tank.

In different combat environments, the scope of use of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles is different. In the absence of a unified two types of equipment, any unit can only focus on it. For example, heavy armored troops that attach importance to offensive capabilities will be equipped with more main battle tanks, and assault troops that are good at rapid attacks need more infantry fighting vehicles. Airborne troops that rely on defense rely entirely on infantry fighting vehicles. With the advent, the gap between main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles has been completely eliminated. Frontline commanders can decide which platform to focus on based on actual conditions, and combat troops can also convert the main battle platform in a very short time.

As far as Yuan Chenhao knows, the Ministry of National Defense and the Army Command made the decision last month, July.

In terms of procedures, as long as the approval of the Military Committee of the General Assembly can be approved at the beginning of the year, the bidding work will be completed. The Ministry of National Defense will sign a mass production contract with the winner while announcing the bid results. Of course, before mass production, the problems exposed in the test must be improved and small-scale mass production will be carried out. The first batch of mass production will be delivered to the test and teaching forces. If everything goes well, large-scale mass production will probably be started at the end of the year and initial combat capabilities will be formed at the beginning of the following year.

Of course, this is a very distant thing.

More importantly, there is no surprise.

In fact, the chance of unexpected situations is very high. You should know that there are not many projects led by the Army, and it is definitely not the main battle platform on the ground.

Among several major army equipment projects launched in the early years, the real protagonist was the "main battle platform in the air".

You should know that "airlifting" has always been the development direction of the Republic's Army.
Chapter completed!
