At present, most of the models used in the United States are corresponding or similar models in China, and only a very small number of them are held in the United States but not available in China at all, and their types are roughly as follows:
Air-based laser weapons.
The U.S. Air Force has been developing the technology since 1997 as part of the National Air Defense System. This set of devices uses 747-400 aircraft as the main carrier, which can emit 15 megawatts of energy laser, through a 1The large 5-meter lens focuses the laser on an object like a missile to destroy it. Its maximum range of action is 100 km. However, due to many factors such as range, cost and anti-jamming ability, the development of this system was discontinued in 2012, and there were 9 successful *** tests before. This method can provide a reference for improving the performance of laser hard destruction in China.
Nucleon**. In medium-range and short-range combat, the barrel cannon is a common long-range attack, and the nuclear ** is the most intuitive way to enhance its destructive power. The M65 nuclear gun, produced in the United States in the 1950s, has a diameter of 280 mm and a range of up to 30 km, and can release 15,000 metric tons of TNT explosives, which is effective against a high-density enemy. China's current nuclear science and technology are mainly focused on strategic nuclear weapons, while the number of tactical nuclear weapons is very small, so we can develop a nuclear warhead stronger than the M65 on the current basis by integrating long-range and tactical nuclear weapons, which is very significant for China's military pressure on land.
*Bomber. The B-2** fighter is the only one of the world's largest bombers that can break through enemy defense networks and attack key military targets in the army in a highly concealed manner.
However, to develop a fly-wing strategic bomber like the B-2, the aerodynamic structure has become a major problem, including the first coating, power system and combat system, etc., which have put forward extremely high requirements for the development of first-class technology.
Aviation anti-aircraft missiles.
In the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, the United States developed an ASM-155 air-based anti-satellite missile that can be carried by F-13C fighters, which has the ability to strike artificial earth satellites in low-earth orbit. ASM-135 is capable of striking targets at an altitude of 400-480 km, its role is to destroy low-orbit reconnaissance satellites, and has certain first-class missile performance. China's current anti-satellite experiments are based on ballistic missiles, and its technology is relatively mature, but its launch position is relatively fixed, and it lacks maneuverability.
Pitching rotorcraft.
The world's first "Osprey" tiltrotor aircraft has been equipped in the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Navy, and the United States is preparing to replace the existing UH-60 with the V-280 tiltrotor aircraft. Although questions have been raised about the safety of tilt-rotor aircraft, there has never been a failure caused by rotor steering, proving the reliability of the method. Tilt-rotor aircraft, with vertical take-off and similar capabilities to turboprops, are a good alternative to ***. Although China has developed a miniature tiltrotor UAV, it has not yet touched on the most practical medium-sized transport aircraft, and presumably the development of such equipment is underway.
Littoral combat ships.
The Littoral Combat Ship is the only surface combat ship in the United States, and its concept is modular, which can be converted into multiple combat modes such as surface attack, anti-mine attack, and anti-submarine attack to meet various needs. However, these ships were not applied to practice in the desired degree of modularity and could not withstand heavy drive ships, which were criticized by many and have already retired from the US Navy. However, this solution is not without advantages, and if improved, it can meet different types of combat needs on a medium-sized ship. Existing offshore combat ships do not meet this design purpose, but China's ship design and construction capabilities are expected to make a breakthrough in this concept.
Large vortex wing conveyor belt.
The C-133 heavy transport aircraft produced in the United States in the 1950s, with four T34-P-9W turboprop engines and a maximum take-off weight of 124 tons, is capable of carrying a variety of heavy equipment, including an intercontinental missile, and can carry up to 200 people. The C-133 is the largest aircraft in the United States before the C-141 turbocharged engine was put into use, and there is no similar product in China so far, and the only model is the "Y-30", but the prototype development has not yet been completed. If this type of aircraft can be successfully developed, it will greatly increase the air transport capacity of combat units and save the consumption of the Y-20, a strategic means of transport.
