Take Off My Aviation Era

Of course, starlight navigation is good, but there are also unavoidable shortcomings, the most critical of which is the natural weather problem.

Fortunately at night, the stars are shining, and the ancestral city that used the method of starlight positioning thousands of years ago, let alone the modern people with rapid technological advancement.

In fact, this is true. Astronomical automatic compasses and light-point sextants, which rely on astrological trajectory calibration, have been commonly equipped with navies of various countries as early as World War II.

After World War II, it was even more miniaturized and equipped on large bombers. For example, the B52 strategic bomber of a large country outside the region was equipped with the most advanced MD-1 astronomical automatic compass and KS-85 light-point sextant at the time to form the night Navigation system to enhance the combat capability of the B52 strategic bomber.

Yes, this kind of distributed starlight navigation system can only be used at night, and can only be used in fine weather, during the day or on cloudy and rainy days.

This is also the reason why starlight navigation based on astronomical automatic compass and light-point sextant quickly became a backup navigation when radio navigation and satellite navigation were fully popularized.

Not to mention the poor accuracy, the limitations are also big, it is difficult to respond in time under the ever-changing conditions.

Don’t these two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, know the limitations? Of course they know, but they still have no hesitation in choosing to use the starlight navigation system on their long-range ballistic missiles, and cooperate with the inertial navigation system to form the final precision strike combination.

Why?

It's very simple, because the starlight navigation technology of the United States and the Soviet Union has long since got rid of the natural limitations of the conventional astronomical automatic compass and light point sextant, and it has truly achieved all-weather, automation and high precision.

Otherwise, the US-Soviet missiles can only be used when the night is fine, and the rest is windy and rainy and can only be used in the daytime. Then it will be a problem. Is it possible that the enemy’s missile was bombarded by the opponent’s missile that day, and counterattacked. When you still have to watch the sky at night, think that the clouds are so dense, you have to discuss with the other party, and wait until the weather conditions allow to launch a counterattack?

If this is the case, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union for nearly half a century is not a cold war. It should be called a laughing war. There is no such joke.

In fact, it is impossible for the United States and the Soviet Union to make jokes in such a critical area. The two countries have truly achieved the level of joining hands to lead the world and crush the world in partnership.

As for how to do it, the principle is not complicated.

In addition to spreading visible light, stars in outer space also radiate cosmic electromagnetic waves such as X-rays and gamma rays. Then, based on astronomical theories such as spectra, basic information such as the distance and mass of stars outside the domain can be judged.

The starlight navigation systems of the United States and the Soviet Union use this principle. Therefore, the starlight navigation systems of the two countries are not simple optical devices, but radio telescopes close to the astronomy field.

In this way, the US-Soviet starlight navigation system can be used not only at night, but also no problem during the day. Even if it is windy and rainy, lightning and thunder will not be affected.

After all, the climate can affect visible light, but the invisible star radiation cannot be blocked.

As for interference, don't even think about it. All kinds of rays are mixed together, and the complexity is terribly complicated. It takes how much power equipment to cover it.

Even if you step back ten thousand steps, someone really has come up with a device that can interfere with the radiation of extraterritorial stars. Do you know that the starlight navigation system on the long-range missiles of the United States and the Soviet Union anchors that extraterritorial star?

Because of this, the United States and the Soviet Union have improved the starlight navigation system from visible light to invisible light, and its concealment is still unexpectedly good. Then, with inertial navigation and navigation computers, the long-range missiles of the United States and the Soviet Union can be used in quantity. And quality crushes all living things around the world.

Of course, this kind of crushing is only the history before 1991. In 1994, this kind of history really seems to be gone forever. At least now, the TY-6 UAV flying in the sky off the east of Zhejiang. It has the capabilities that the United States and the Soviet Union had.

You know, not long after typhoon No. 11 this year passed, the weather conditions in the entire sea off eastern Zhejiang were not very good, not to mention the thick clouds, and some areas were accompanied by rainfall.

If only the visible light starlight navigation system is applied to the TY-6 UAV, it would be a dead end during the day and the weather conditions are extremely bad, because there is no star position that can be anchored, so what about navigation? .

But now TY-6 UAVs are enjoying themselves in the seas off the east of Zhejiang, treating the light interference during the day and the bad weather as nothing. What does it mean?

The Zenith-1 starlight navigation system it is equipped with has the same technology as similar navigation devices on the US and Soviet long-range missiles during the Cold War.

The fact is indeed the case. The Zenith-1 used by the TY-6 UAV is indeed comparable to the starlight navigation system of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The reason for this is very simple. Zenith-1 Starlight Navigation The pedigree of the system is a mess.

Its prototype is the Soviet star-5Б starlight\inertial guidance compound guidance system.

It may be a little confusing to say that this abrupt model, but to say that this system serves a household name, the last intercontinental missile in the Soviet era, the core guidance system of the "White Poplar" intercontinental ballistic missile.

Relying on the star—5Б Starlight\Inertial Guidance Composite Guidance System, the Soviet Union’s "White Poplar" intercontinental ballistic missile has a range accuracy of 11,000 kilometers to an astonishing 220 meters (circumference probability).

However, after a few years, Russia is the nation’s strength, and the "White Poplar" M developed on the basis of the "White Poplar" intercontinental ballistic missile did not exceed this accuracy. The reason is simple. After the disintegration, Russia has no ability to develop a new generation of starlight navigation. The system can only use the star-5Б starlight\inertial guidance compound guidance system, so in addition to increasing the warhead and range, the real core precision strike capability has not made a substantial breakthrough.

It doesn’t matter if there is no breakthrough. The star left from the Soviet era—5Б Starlight\Inertial Navigation Composite Guidance System is also enough for Russia for many years. You must know that this system is a high-precision navigation developed by the Soviet Union at a huge expense to counter the United States. \Guide system.

In addition to the Baiyang Intercontinental Missile, its prototype star—5А Starlight\Inertial Guidance Composite Guidance System, is used in the Soviet famous "Oka" medium- and short-range ballistic missile, and its accuracy reaches 150 meters at a range of 500 kilometers. . UU reading www.uukanshu. cm

This accuracy was at a level against the sky in the 1980s. What's more, the Soviets only used a set of Starlight\Inertial Guidance Composite Guidance System to complete it, which is enough to reflect the Soviet Union's strong strength in ballistic missile guidance.

Of course, not many people know about the "Oka" medium and short-range ballistic missiles. After all, this missile was destroyed in the late 1980s, but another missile developed on its basis is famous. It is the "Iskander" medium- and short-range ballistic missile of the Russian Megatron West.

The Stellar-5К Starlight\Inertial Guidance Composite Guidance System is an improved aircraft version based on special missile equipment. The Soviet "mysterious" high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and Tu-160 strategic bomber known as U-2sky are equipped with this Stellar—5К Starlight\Inertial Navigation Complex Guidance.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Zenith-1 starlight navigation system on the TY-6 UAV is well-known and well-known, the big brother Baiyang missile, the big sister Tu-160 bomber, if you do not perform well, you will not shame your big brother and sister. ~~
