Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Everyone was absorbed in the solution provided by Qin Chuan. After thinking for a long time, Old Zhu sighed.

"As expected, President Qin has great ideas. Before you came, we were all thinking about how to improve the active protection system of the tank. We didn't expect that you could solve it by welding a fence!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "An active defense system is also a good solution. We need to develop it as well. Once it's perfected, we won't need the fence anymore. Each has its own advantages."

Years ago, when the Type 99 tank was being developed, the team had some wild ideas, such as installing anti-aircraft missiles on both sides of the tank. However, they eventually realized that this would make the tank look like a hybrid of two different things, so they had to abandon the idea.

Even after the Type 99 tank was officially completed, it did not have any anti-aircraft devices. It only had a laser suppression system, which was a kind of active defense, but it was just a soft kill.

In recent years, active defense systems have become increasingly popular internationally. They use radar and other means to monitor various incoming targets. Once a target gets close, an interceptor will be launched to intercept the barrage from the side of the target and detonate it in advance.

However, the development of this device is very difficult, and it is still in the initial demonstration stage in China.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's approval of the plan, Elder Zhu immediately spoke up: "President Qin, this active defense system requires advanced electronic technology, and we hope that Laiyang Group can help us!"

This thing has to be completely automated, since tank crews don't have the extra energy to operate it. At the same time, it can't be too big, so as not to take up the internal space of the tank. All of this requires advanced electronic technology, so we can only ask Laiyang Group for help!

Standing nearby, Boss Zhang laughed. "You came all this way on your own initiative, see? Another assignment! And you have to take it!"

"Currently, our active phased array radar has been successfully developed. Four radar antennas can be attached to the four sides of the tank turret. Of course, a rotating antenna can also be added to the top. The search range does not need to be too long, 100 meters is enough, but it is necessary to observe things like drones."

Because of their small size and the fact that most of them are made of non-metallic materials, drones are difficult to observe. Many air defense radars cannot detect them, so a special defense radar needs to be developed specifically to address the characteristics of drones.

The active protection system of a tank does not need to search at a long distance; it can focus its energy on target identification.

“We can handle this part, but we’re not familiar with things like releasing bullet comments afterward, so you’ll have to do that.”

Old Master Zhu nodded: "Okay!"

Once the target is located, accurately tracked, and the appropriate time is chosen to issue the signal to release the barrage, the next step is to detonate the corresponding barrage release device, and then this big guy will be ready!

Thus, the problem was solved.

Use a fence first, and when the active defense system is mature, use that system—perfect!

"Of course, there are many other ways to counter drones. We need to counter not only tanks and armored vehicles, but also individual soldiers."

On the battlefield, amidst the roar of artillery fire, many people cannot hear the sound of drones flying. However, drones, with their lightweight advantage, can fly into trenches and detonate, causing significant losses, especially to troops with no experience in defense, resulting in heavy casualties.

Laiyang Group has unleashed the demon of drones, so of course it must provide a complete solution.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, do you have any other ideas?"

Individual soldiers can no longer fight with a fence, let alone implement active defense systems. Even an individual soldier's automatic rifle might not be able to shoot down a drone!

"Drone flights require external control. We only need to cut off this control signal to disable this weapon. We can even transmit similar control signals and use stronger signals to directly operate drones, turning them into our weapons."

Everyone's eyes widened.

"President Qin, please continue!" Even Leader Zhang became interested.

"It's actually very simple. It's just a radio transceiver. We can also make it into the shape of a gun, called a drone capture gun. Just point it at the drone and pull the trigger, and the drone will fall down by itself..."

In later generations, drones became very popular, and counter-drone technology also developed rapidly. Especially over certain classified units, there were always some fools who would take off drones to investigate. To deal with these drones, this kind of equipment was needed.

We captured the drone directly. If the operator dares to come and take it back, he'd better prepare to go to jail!

"Ordinary firearms are unlikely to shoot down drones, but shotguns are very effective against them. Therefore, it is also possible to equip the troops with a certain proportion of shotguns, but they need to be trained. After all, firing into the sky is projectile firing, not direct firing at the target."

A shotgun fires a large number of projectiles, enough to cover the entire drone. However, since it's fired into the sky, the projectiles follow a slanted trajectory after they leave the air. You have to aim ahead of the projectile; after all, this isn't some fantasy movie where throwing a grenade can shoot down an enemy plane, or someone can throw a hoe...

The emergence of drones has demonstrated tremendous power on the battlefield. As a research unit for ground weapons, everyone was very worried, as if dark clouds were shrouding Huai Shu Ling. Now, Qin Chuan's introduction has dispelled the clouds and brought the sun to the surface!

Old Zhu let out a long sigh of relief: "President Qin, thank you so much for coming to Huai Shu Ling and giving us such guidance. We can finally get a good night's sleep!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I unleashed this demon of drones, so naturally I have to provide solutions. Moreover, in history, no weapon has ever been able to dominate the world. Its emergence will only advance technology by a significant step."

Back then, Maxim's invention marked the end of the era of cavalry charges, but tanks also emerged, capable of charging into machine guns!

Battleships were the behemoths of the sea, invincible, but with the advent of aircraft carriers, the era of battleships came to an end! The threat posed by aircraft carriers grew, and so did the variety of anti-carrier weapons! Various supersonic anti-ship missiles and anti-ship ballistic missiles posed an increasing threat to aircraft carriers, and thus, the Aegis system emerged.

Advanced weapons will always replace outdated ones; that's how technology develops—it spirals upwards. The emergence of drone technology doesn't mean it can dominate the world; there will definitely be ways to retaliate against it!

"Furthermore, haven't you all considered equipping tank units with drones?"

Everyone is only thinking about how to defend, but not how to take advantage of it?
