China’s close defense guns: the effect of sea-skimming missile attacks better than the U.S.

Chinese Navy Wuhan missile destroyerScientific and technical information to increase, with the gun combat – remember a certain director of the Institute Institute of naval equipment, doctoral Chih-Ming Chiu, Major General

A director of Institute of naval equipment Chih-Ming Chiu, more than 20 years of research and development attracted to guns for the army’s guns system automation has contributed to

In November 1994, Beijing Huayin Hotel. Central Organization Department, Ministry of Personnel, jointly organized by China Association for Science in the Fourth China Youth Science and Technology Awards of the General Assembly was held. As young as 33-year-old Qiu Zhiming, Zhu Guangya, Dean, who took over from the award certificate and trophy. He was the first to obtain this award the Navy people.

Over the past 15 years, a brief span. Hsiao Chiu year, and now has grown into a Director of the Institute, researchers, professional and technical, Major doctoral tutor, our next generation of ship-borne weapon systems and ship-borne weapon systems and the use of well-known experts in the field of engineering, has won the national scientific and technological progress second prize 3, third prize a military scientific and technological progress prize 4, second prize 13, defense eight patents, published seven books, published papers and more than 100 articles; have been named as the Navy Excellent scientific and technical cadres, the Navy Shijie youth, the Navy high-tech talent project of the first high-level experts, trained, advanced naval personnel development of individuals, access to China Ordnance Society of Youth Science and Technology Award, the State made outstanding contributions of young experts, a significant contribution to the military professional and technical awards , China Association for Science “Seeking Truth” award of outstanding professional and technical personnel to enjoy the armed forces a class of post allowance and special government allowances, selected countries “Ten Million Talent Project” One, two levels. As a group leader led the research team, was the army group of the first scientific and technological innovation award.

A lot of countless results, a series of ring of honor to witness the Chih-Ming Chiu gun weapon system in the demonstration study arduous trek on the road of struggle, the interpretation of his dedication to the cause of naval equipment and pursuit.

November 10 afternoon, 14:00, Beijing Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation 2009 annual award ceremony was held. A naval equipment from the Institute of Director of the Institute Chih-Ming Chiu, Jianbu stage to accept their “Science and Technology Progress Award.”

Students said that learning is hard work, he notes the growth of

In 1978, this is the second year of the national college entrance examination to resume 17-year-old Qiu Zhiming obtain a college entrance examination scores in the county in the top-ranked results, joyfully return home ready to fill volunteer.

Here is Yimeng Region in 1942, joined the party’s old father, and my heart can never forget the Da Guizi eventful years. “Go on the academy it, 咱 Yimeng human revolution is the one after another.” In this way, Chih-Ming Chiu naturally become the Department of Naval Engineering Naval Gun Weapon engineering a student.

Just in college, he has also provided their own design the blueprint for many wonderful. In 1979, he first visited the practice on the ship. When he saw the ship-borne weapon is relatively backward, many areas still rely on manual warrior scene is not too happy.

Chih-Ming Chiu bones simplicity of people with old revolutionary base areas, simple and honest, and bloody. He follows the “Qinnengbuzhuo is a good training, a hard one sub-sub-only” criteria, the University for four years, is class time, every second counts, spare time is studying in the library and classrooms, almost never seen the film. Some students joked: “Let Chih-Ming Chiu a movie, unless it is the sun coming out from the west.” Edison said that genius is 99% of the hard work plus 1% inspiration. He held on to all the reading, enrich and equip themselves with knowledge. University of more than 20 door homework, he has graduated an average of 97.3 points, was awarded honors.

In 1982, he graduated to the factory for internships, learn a certain type of gun fired only 200 rounds of artillery shells lose about spring break took place, lost ability bursts. It is this type of gun in 1966, when stereotypes left over from a history of “persistent” problem. Some comrades tried to look at past research, but has not been resolved. With the enthusiasm of young people at the graduation design, he resolutely chose this particular problem. There are well-meaning people advised him: “This subject is difficult, there are risks, short term, the results are known, calling such graduation design must be bungled.” He did not say what the lips, and my heart are class struggle, and research and how can I not risk, In order to improve military equipment to improve combat effectiveness, even if the failure, but also takes numerous. So he plunged headlong into the subject, have worked continuously for several months, conducted an extensive analysis and calculation, and finally found the crux of the problem, suggestions to improve the idea and preliminary technical program, write a “certain type of gun lost spring fracture analysis of and enhance spring life measures “a paper by the Institute, the Department of the judges of the full recognition was rated excellent thesis.

Theoretically is one thing, how in practical application in the end like? He went to the physical plant modifications. In the absence of special funding, can only process a template, an opportunity to make or break. Trial began, his heart also follows that jumped to their throats. 200 hair, 500 hair, 800 hair, has been hit nearly 1000 Fat! He finally landed a hanging heart, his face showing a successful smile. This result, experts identified as “resolved a long-term legacy of the spring break, and effectively improved the performance of a certain type of gun shooting straight, the Department of the Navy equipment and technology has been officially adopted and put into production.” The joy of success, together with his 21-year-old prime of life with loading “Contemporary China” series “Navy volume.”

In this way, he graduated with distinction and stayed on to teach. However, some students talking about, and now flying missiles, artillery is the god of war status and role of the total decline in the world of the modern weapons, artillery considered a housekeeping at most of the Dagou Gun.

Chih-Ming Chiu is also meditation. Yes ah, with the development of the times, modern gun bear the mission continued to expand, it is necessary to the sea, the other side, to attack underwater targets, but also air defense, missile defense. This means that the use of information technology to give extended range gun, guidance, until the missile confrontation.

Many students still remember the fledgling teacher Chiu that the “stiff Dagou Gun”’s famous remark: “The students, although the continuous development of the world’s high-tech weapons, artillery is a sunset industry, but we have to keep in mind the fact that artillery is a electronic, hydraulic, optical into an integrated body, is also equipped with the largest amount in today’s world, the most widely used weapons, we must make greater efforts, so Da Gougun have stiff! ”

In 1984, he registered for a postgraduate hospital, set his sights on engineering. He knew, weapons systems and equipment demonstration research is the development of front-end work, the second generation of ship-borne weapon system development is of great significance, a breakthrough should be selected here.

Since then, in the two and a half years, he no longer had Sunday off, not through the winter and summer, the daily work late into the night, at the completion of their studies, while preparing lessons taught more than 80 hours, has prepared more than 10 million words of the teaching materials, published many papers, but also completed a research task, and obtained scientific and technological achievements.

Colleagues say assiduously he taught Tips

In June 1987, Chih-Ming Chiu transferred to a Research Institute of the work and equipment. There are too Chuan-yi, Zhu Xibin, Mao Ping-cheung Shu Changsheng a large number of guns and other well known experts, he felt like a seed back to look forward to the land, but also themselves, and even more eagerly to the old-timers to learn, work and sleepless nights.

Naval Gun Weapon System optimization study, because many algorithms and the results are uncertain, there is no one particular method of calculating the value of reconciliation, has been a breakthrough artillery community’s “target.” However, once overcome this “target” argument is bound to lay a good foundation for research. Because graduate school, he had a problem on this research experience and accumulation, we determined to bite piece of hoe.

No oath, no Zhuang. Since then, he dove into the room. Until today, we are all machines Chih-Ming Chiu grab something fresh in my memory. At that time, the Academy VAX computer rooms that only two sets of small supercomputer, running slowly, all units of scientific research personnel on an hourly rotation plane. He and the young people Mengqing De laboratory, together with the first series a good process, during the day checking on the machine running in the evening but also work overtime changes. Come early every day to fight for ranked first, with a cold steamed into the room, staring at the screen to see the results, often in the evening to work, and room managers are required to the Qing Dynasty locked, Ganqiao not considered finished, he is always seeking people grace for a while and then may be a moment is often 12 hours.

Six months later, he carried out thousands of times tedious deduction, and careful calculation. Hard work pays off. By gun simulation system to identify various errors and launch speed, the fight against time, since the associated best match between the attenuation coefficient, as well as changes in the optimal function, he and his colleagues explore a set of integrated applications a variety of calculation method a quick way to creatively solve the ship-borne weapon system performance, parameter optimization problems, laying the gun weapon system overall performance, indicators and parameters optimization demonstrate important theoretical and technical basis. Domestic peer-review comments that: “The study results are weapons systems engineering theory in the evaluation of model and optimization of performance parameters in the creative application of a successful example of the theory is strong, technological difficulties; research results to fill the domestic gaps in the domestic leading level “, won the third prize the national scientific and technological progress.

This is a good seed. Someone has a Statistics: Chih-Ming Chiu transferred from the Marine artillery room, just two years, participated in or presided over the completion of 17 research projects, of which 12 to fill the domestic blank, four awards.

So much strength, what strength of support for him? Colleagues said that he was obsessed with guns, love is the best teacher.

Shu Changsheng, director of the old saying, Do not look at the number of subjects he completed many multi-award-winning projects, which are paid and sacrifices. And compared with ordinary people, he sacrificed more time, body and family.

Ten thousand years too long, seizing the day. In the eyes of Chih-Ming Chiu, time is always not enough. He appreciated the work fast-paced, high efficiency, big bang, overtime surprise. On one occasion, Shu Suozhang the change of shifts in the whole meeting, a very formally commended the two comrades, often see that they are still working overtime at night. This one is Chih-Ming Chiu.

He always sticks to their own bodies, has the capital to engage in scientific research and are proud of. Is itself a burly Shandong Han, years of hard work overload fatigue life is extremely irregular, Chih-Ming Chiu suffering from severe stomach problems, lumbar disc herniation, and kidney stones. Once overtime at night, to come home late at night, riding a bicycle to love at that time in the water where the Research Institute of the way, kidney stone attack, so painful that could not move, had moved forward step by step 推着自行车 1. Usual 20-minute line, but it went 2 hours. Home, the pain from lying on the floor get up. Love really distressed broken, supporting him to the hospital several times to play pain-killing injections. The next day, room naval colleagues and sent him to General Hospital, may be the subject of the hands in order to appeal to tourists, he ran back to work overtime and from the hospital. Respect for this, he not only suffered a scolded leaders of their units, but also by the criticism of the medical staff.

His most sorry, or their families. As a son back to Shandong to visit their parents every Lunar New Year time, often because of worrying about the research tasks, always come and gone, the longest time not more than a week. As a husband, he always felt guilty. As the heavy research tasks, he gave up a honeymoon travel. Love pregnancy, pregnancy, severe reaction to the special needs her husband’s care and thoughtful, but this time, he was bear three research tasks, but are urgently needed by units, in order to rush, rob the progress of the lover needed him most, when He lived almost all of a row over two months in the office, the only consolation to the loved one is a phone call every night. As a father, he had not fulfilled the responsibility of nurturing his son, the child foster care childhood hometown in Shandong Province, from the elderly dependent care.

In 1992, his wife sent to Japan by the public and the work of water conservancy Academy of Sciences, 2 years, as a result of excellent Japanese companies to retain her long-term stay here, the face of superior living conditions and good working conditions, and thus persuade Chih-Ming Chiu jobs go abroad with her发展. Chih-Ming Chiu gun in mind can be, too busy sacred right equipment, the cause of near-preference and stubbornness. Not stand up to his repeated persuasion, two years later, lovers had to come home.

The U.S. media said that over the past five years, China has begun to equip a Chinese self-designed Close In Weapon System, CIWS – 730 type 30 mm in recent anti-system, which is equipped with the latest type destroyer and frigate above, China also plans for the system upgrade to increase the short-range missile configuration.

The leaders said that the persistent pursuit is the key to his success

Chih-Ming Chiu often coworkers: “A heart is not with two. We are engaged in research and scholarship of the people, can not be impetuous, to concentrate on.”

Quiet in order to Zhiyuan. From an ordinary young scientific and technical cadres, to serve as Deputy Director of Research, Director, from the Institute served as deputy chief engineer, chief division, to the deputy director, director, he has maintained a calm attitude, work hard, study hard. A few years ago, his wife to go abroad out, the children placed in his home, he threw himself into research work, room and board in the office almost every day is no exception, many issues in the dead of night when the research to solve. He was especially looking forward to the weekend, because over the weekend to work overtime at night may be stirring a night, Sunday morning, you can sleep a Lanjue with impunity. In 1999 published by the weapons industry’s “ship-borne weapon system analysis,” a book that he was more than two years, taking advantage of weekends, write, modify, publish the final draft into. Now the book has been used as a graduate student teaching.

In the eyes of some people engaged in research projects demonstrated long cycle is not easy to be a high award. Be considered Chih-Ming Chiu, demonstration study is the first chain of equipment development process, its importance is self-evident. As a subject of duty, he presided over the completion of the “95″ to “Eleventh Five-Year” Our ship (boat) contained weapons and equipment planning scheme demonstration and nuclear submarines, destroyers and convoy ships and many other types of ships combat system demonstration.

Bench cold to sit for ten years, you can not write a blank. Science does not allow for false. Development of industry, state and military standards and norms, everyone knows that it is a time-consuming and thankless errand. He felt duty-bound, as editor, has completed the gun and gun weapon system demonstration specifications, surface ships fire control equipment is compatible with common standards, universal norms ship weapons and launchers, seven groups and security systems, more than 10 Department of norms for the weapon system demonstration, development, testing, evaluation and operational training to provide a scientific basis and an important guarantee.

Forewarned is forearmed and without prejudging the waste. The last century, the early 90s, the head of Institute of comprehensive analysis of trends in world military development, pre-sentence information warfare is the main style of future war, try to Chih-Ming Chiu presented a challenge: Let’s open the Navy can set a precedent for the study of information warfare?

The new field of information warfare, involving a wide range. He studied at home and abroad access to a large number of documents and information, research dozens of military and civilian units, editorial writer wrote “Naval Information Warfare” report. This is the first time the Navy to carry out systematic research in this field, a series of development and construction ideas are highly valued by the Navy and the heads of agencies should adopt, and the Navy’s authority over the division of information warfare cadres training and the Navy Chief of Staff training period, made a report to lectures. Information warfare, which was once unfamiliar faces, because the up and down to form a consensus, and information warfare research in the context of downsizing and reorganization came into being.

Faced with the world the rapid development of military equipment and knowledge to update faster, Chih-Ming Chiu often remind ourselves: “life must be satisfied to learn Shangzhi lack of work I do not know enough.” Stepping up the work, he studied the Beijing Institute of Technology Weapon System with the use of engineering PhD; in 2001 and as military students went to Russia, the Russian military command Kuznetsov Naval Academy conducted a systematic professional learning and practice in scientific research and constantly apply their knowledge. In the “combat capability of naval equipment, a comprehensive study,” General Armament Department of key research projects, he has used in the Russian Naval Academy to learn the knowledge, proposed naval equipment system capacity assessment of quantitative models and methods to solve system of capacity assessment of equipment in the “decomposition of – Calculation – comprehensive “problem, the expert evaluation found that:” The results of the lead at home to reach the international advanced level in the last century, 90 years, development and construction of equipment for the Navy played an important role “, which won in 2003 the military first-class scientific and technological progress Award.

Although led by as left artillery room, but Qiu Zhiming the professional development of the cannon chamber did not forget a moment.

Years ago, Chih-Ming Chiu and his comrades realized that, with the rapid development of anti-ship missile developed short-range anti-missile weapons and imminent.

To be fast, to associate, to be ruthless! Them to the full ship-borne weapon system application engineering research.

Automatic gun combat systems, combat time from the past 10 minutes reduced to a few seconds.

A certain type of verification system, accurate shooting won a breakthrough technology to fill five blank. In September 2004, “Yearbook of World war history,” published in: The sea-skimming missile attacks, the U.S. Navy made three of four, the Chinese navy made 8 of 8.

They developed a small-caliber high-speed shooting a certain type of weapon systems, “10000 fired” finally successfully developed, has reached the world advanced level.

They developed a simulation training tests security systems, automated decision-making to solve the guns of war, peacetime training, detection and protection problems. In December 2006, with his big guns for the group leader in innovative laboratory was the first army group award.

In college, many students joke, Chih-Ming Chiu in the future will become China’s Aghdashloo He Ciji, which is the former Soviet Union experienced a ballistic expert, guns authority. Chih-Ming Chiu felt that the road ahead is long, but its repair is far Xi.

U.S. media said the latest Russian submarine-launched missile is a waste – Can not be successfully developed

U.S. Global strategic networks November 4, published an article entitled “Russia had built a waste” article on Russia’s latest “Bulava” submarine-launched ballistic missile launch failures frequently do correlation analysis and comments. The article said that although the Russian side tried to replace the manufacturers and the leaders of related projects and other means to make the “Bulava” missile was successfully developed the ultimate, but because of its military and technical personnel and manufacturing personnel in the post-Soviet loss of serious, and 20 years, there is no fresh blood to add, “Bulava” missile will eventually not be developed! Russia will face the new century, the lack of powerful submarine-based nuclear strike against the missile dilemma.

The article said that the Russian Defense Ministry officials recently announced in July last year, “Bulava” submarine-launched ballistic missile test failed, the reason is because the first stage propulsion system design flaw, the flaw is now fixed, and at the end of this month will have to proceed a new test. So far, the “Bulava” has tested 11 times. Which tests are not entirely a success, six times is absolute failure. But even so, the Russian government still insists that the missile for the experiment will continue, and eventual success. “Bulava” is a new type of “Borei” (Boeri) class nuclear submarines and to prepare a new generation of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. To judge the current situation, it will become increasingly apparent as Russia’s defense bureaucracy a scandal.

A few months ago, “Bulava” missile development staff were told, must be made before the end of the missile was successfully developed. Otherwise, the project will be canceled, the project leaders will be replaced (in the previous “Bulava” test failure has made the project leader to step down: the missile July 15 the 11th test, in the failure of the public generally them as Russia’s nuclear deterrent setback July 22, the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, the chief architect responsible for this Solomonoff Academy of Sciences, submitted his resignation); the same time, the Russian side will ultimately choose to use Comparison of the old R-29RM “Xinie Wa” (Sineva) submarine-launched ballistic missiles as a “Bulava” alternatives. Now it was suggested that the new “Borei” class ballistic missile submarine on the use of such weighing 40 tons of liquid fuel ballistic missiles. R-29RM “Xi Niewa” missiles is Russia’s only remaining active-duty submarine-launched ballistic missiles last liquid fuel is currently equipped with the “Delta” level (Deltaclass) ballistic missile submarine.

Designers obviously aware of this wind, and inform policy makers how much the cost of this conversion, the authors estimated that at least in the text will reach several billion dollars. So now the government decided to end or continue to “Bulava” missile research and development, whatever the cost to be developed. In addition, the Commission of Inquiry’s report confirms that most of the existing problems is due to slack caused by the production. It has been suggested previously, “Bulava” missile assembly manufacturing should be transferred to another factory. However, the suggested subsequently proved to be both economically and technically feasible (Russia only the existing manufacturers with the production of solid-fuel rocket technology). In the meantime, have a number of advanced research and development project person in charge was fired.

The article said that even if liquid-fuel missile can not be a long long-term storage of fuel inside the missile, structure and manufacturing are also more complex than solid-fuel missiles. However, in a fairly long period of time, a relatively old-fashioned, but the more expensive R-29RM “Xi Niewa” submarine-launched ballistic missiles as part of its alternative may seem reasonable. Because to the Soviet era, the country in a very long period of time can not be developed solid-fuel rocket motor technology, even though they have done the largest number of efforts, and even the Soviet Union was also “sword easy road” and created several very effective in The “that could be stored liquid fuel” rocket. Finally, until towards the end of the Cold War, the country finally mastered the solid-fuel rocket manufacturing technology. However, the existing fleet of submarine-launched ballistic missile solid fuel only one, that is, equipment in the large “Typhoon”-class ballistic missile submarine (the class submarines because of the high operating costs, will be fully retired) on the stature huge, weighing 90 tons R – -39.

Many Russian officials agreed that the “Bulava” missile facing all these problems, their root causes are the post-Soviet Russia’s defense industry lost a large number of skilled engineers and scientists, its arms exports has fallen over 90%. These master “Soviet technology,” were lost to other countries, or in other industries will soon be able to find lucrative jobs. Furthermore, the Russian defense industry during the past 20 years, almost did not add any new blood. On the other hand. Russia’s domestic manufacturing industry has also experienced the same tragic situation. In the Soviet era, the defense industry have enough money and conditions to attract the country’s most skilled manufacturing engineers. But now could not have so many talents. Frustrating, “Bulava” missile test failed performance test is the seriousness of the consequences of brain drain. The same should be pointed out that some military weapons and large enterprises are in bad conditions but have become more attractive, and its able to retain more talent and more capable of producing management personnel are inseparable. Therefore, they have had the “Bulava” missile production to another for better weapons factories recommendations.

The Russian military has been doubted, “Bulava” submarine-launched ballistic missiles in the design may be problematic, if it is in the Cold War era, most of these issues are confidential. However, as the Russian press controls relaxed, more information surfaced. The article revealed that the recent Russian military command is: the most times in his first goal is to ship a new “Borei” class nuclear submarine loaded part of the reliable “Bulava” missile. However, a recent test failure that seems to be the situation seems to be unlikely, and in front of one of the test is also a failure.

At present, there are already two “Borei-class” submarine has started service, its length 12.1 meters, diameter of 2 m is the missile launch tubes originally designed to accommodate the “Bulava” missile. However, the possibility mentioned earlier instead of “Bulava” and “Xi Niewa” missile is 14.8 meters length, 1.8 meters in diameter. If the Russian side had to choose to replace, then it needs to the existing two and two under construction, “Borei-class” major changes. Is going to fully retire the “Typhoon”-class on the active equipment of the Russian submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the only solid-fuel R-39 appears to be excluded, because the missile heads very large (length 16 m, diameter 2.4 m). Even if the re-converted “Borei-class”, its is also too large.

Ironically, a number of articles in the last Russian optimism is expected. The article said that some people believe that Russia’s domestic, “Bulava” The ultimate fate – the Government finally decided to put the development work continues, and the “Bulava” missile in the final after several adjustments the successful completion of various tests, and fully equipped ” Borei-class “nuclear submarines. They also hope that every Borei boats will be equipped with 16 reliable “Bulava” missile. As the research continued and improved, “Bulava” missile and reliable from the original ratio of about 40% to 70% or 80% which is more decent proportion. But this will take some time, and all Russian people during this period should do is to try to avoid the outbreak of nuclear war. – These types of imaginary sounds equally absurd, because the military can not save the industry close to the decline, “Bulava”!

The United States said that there is no self-confidence to deal with Dongfeng -21

Aegis systems“International Herald Leader,” Liu Guowei freelance writer from Beijing October 26, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency will be a one billion U.S. dollars worth of contracts awarded Lockheed Martin to upgrade the U.S. “Aegis” missile defense system performance. Reuters reported: “China’s rapid development of ballistic missiles, making the task of the rapid escalation of the U.S. Navy has become more urgent.”

Engage in two-pronged approach to upgrade

Lockheed Martin is the “Aegis” missile defense system, the main contractor, in recent years has not only been a lot of “Aegis” system production contract, but also swept the “Aegis” system to follow-up to upgrade services. In the Reuters reports, Lockheed Martin’s sea-based missile defense project leader Orlando Carvalho said: “The new contract will ‘Aegis’ ballistic missile defense system can effectively deal with global security threats spiral development the trend will further increase with the number of ballistic missile defense capability of the ship. ”

So, the U.S. military hopes to “Aegis” system to do what’s promoted? In recent years, Lockheed Martin from the “Aegis” system focused on continuing to upgrade the technical point of view, the United States will focus on two major efforts to raise the “Aegis” system of missile defense capability. One is the use of a new type of radar signal and data processor to improve the shipboard SPY-1 radar tracking, identifying true and false target ballistic missile capabilities, so have limited long-range ballistic missile interception capability and enhancing the “Aegis” system to deal with the probability of a new anti-ballistic missiles. The second is to improve the interceptor missile, increasing the airspace intercept operations, for which the military has been in and “standard (SM)” prime contractor Raytheon missile cooperation, “SM-3″ of the various types of interceptor upgrade.

Many successful interception test

“Aegis” is a U.S. Navy ship-based ballistic missile defense system “Aegis” weapons control system and the “standard” anti-aircraft missiles, based on an improved and developed as a mobile sea-based ballistic missile defense system.

The first set of “Aegis” system with the “Ticonderoga” class cruisers enter the Navy in 1983, has been the world’s total of 21 “Aegis” warships equipped with anti-ballistic missile capabilities, the U.S. Navy 19 ships, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force 2.

In May 2006, the U.S. Navy, “Lake Erie” cruiser in the last paragraph of a short-range ballistic missile successfully conducted the flight intercept. In June 2008, at the Pacific Missile Range in a test, “Aegis” Ballistic Missile Defense Weapon System (BMD) have once again successfully detect, track and intercept a short-range ballistic missile target. As of last year, “Aegis” BMD system is still the middle-guided phase of the successful completion of 12 interceptor missiles outside the atmosphere.

In addition to the anti-missile capability test, “Lake Erie” cruiser “Aegis” BMD system, had also temporary transformation, in February 2008 successfully destroyed a satellite out of control, demonstrating powerful anti-satellite capabilities of the system .

Are worried about China’s missile

“Aegis” anti-missile system after several years of testing, the performance of a good anti-ballistic missile capability. But the U.S. military has spared no effort to carry out revision upgrade, this time of the signing of a contract to upgrade more emphasis to the “response to China’s rapidly growing threat of mobile ballistic missile warheads,” in fact, primarily out of fear that Chinese ballistic missiles for its aircraft carrier the threat of large surface ships.

October 1, the PLA at the National Day military parade on the show several new types of missiles, they immediately became the U.S. military “target.” October 6, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense in the “New York Post” to “Why is the U.S. worried about China” as the title, saying “China’s Dongfeng -21 missile is the world’s first one can be a moving target at sea carried out against ballistic missiles. It can occur in the United States during the war by the Chinese used to attack the U.S. aircraft carriers, mobile missile warheads configure a range of more than 1.6 thousand kilometers … … In addition to their destruction prior to launch, the U.S. Navy without a high degree of self-confidence to deal with Dongfeng -21 missile. ”

However, with these highly exaggerated “China’s ballistic missile threat,” the report compared to a lot of technical articles at home and abroad are also calmly pointed out that in the vast oceans to detect and lock on a moving target, such as aircraft carriers and other large warships, is still a very challenging problem. Because it is mainly used for ballistic missiles to attack large fixed targets, in advance to determine its coordinates system to calculate the trajectory of missiles, missile launch, after flying toward the target along the intended trajectory, while the large-scale attack on the non-moving target to their talents. Military intelligence analysts believe that the United States to invest heavily on the “Aegis” anti-missile system to upgrade is to strengthen the technological advantages, to ensure that its naval fleet in the vast ocean of absolute security.

Upgraded Aegis system’s core technology In addition to a new type of radar signal and data processor, is the “standard -3″ interceptor missiles, the United States and Japan to develop and to carry out technological upgrading in phases, was also carried out to destroy the satellite out of control actual combat operations.

China in the South China Sea, the deployment of anti-ship missile early warning radar

Sea-based early warning radarRecently, the East Asia and Southeast Asia, one of the most influential think-tank, Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Rajaratnam School of International Studies, published a report entitled “the power of the ever-changing distribution of the South China Sea: the impact of treatment and to avoid conflict,” the report . The report detailed analysis of the South China Sea neighboring countries in recent years, the balance of power changes, claiming that China’s Nansha Islands YONGSHU reefs deployed within a type known as the J-17C radar for the state to provide early warning capacity; still Paracel Islands within the Yongxing Island of the anti-ship cruise missile installations to establish and support China’s cause of fighting naval military operations in the Nansha Islands in the front line post.

Nanhai People’s Liberation Army to deploy J-17C radar warning capabilities to enhance

The report notes that in Asian countries, China’s military power is no doubt among the brightest and best. Although the eighties of the last century, China deeply the pain of budget and isolated, but since the nineties of the last century, China’s military modernization began, the navy to expand the scope of logistics support. Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the annual report issued in 2007 and even China as Asia’s number one, ranked fourth in the world – after the United States, Britain and France – the country’s arms procurement.

The report said, and now the focus of China’s border defense to switch from the transfer of land and sea combat capability has significantly increased. Downsizing forces on the ground at the same time, China’s naval power projection capabilities have been significantly increased. Their procurement of new weapons systems, adjust the structure of the armed forces, from the Russian destroyers and submarines purchased to improve its South China Sea Fleet’s amphibious warfare capability. The seventies of last century, the South China Sea Fleet is a fleet strength of the weakest, twenty years later, it’s strength even in the absence than other fleets, but also with the other fleet is already flat.

The Chinese Navy is continuing to expand its conventional submarine capabilities (Song-class and Yuan-class, and Kilo-class submarines), and further develop its small-scale nuclear-powered submarines. At present, it has purchased, including Russian-built “modern” class, including a large number of destroyers and frigates. In 2006, the U.S. Defense Department assessment that the Chinese navy has about 75 major surface warships, 55 attack submarines and 50 amphibious ships. In 2009, the U.S. Defense Department assessment that China had about 26 destroyers, 51 frigates, 58 diesel-electric submarines, and eight nuclear-powered submarines.

In addition, the report also said China is also increasing their contribution to the South China Sea the reef, the island of control. It has to consolidate the Navy’s Mischief Reef and other islands in the United States military facilities, equipped with air defense and naval guns, as well as helipads. In addition, China’s Nansha Islands in Yongshu reefs deployed a J-17C radar for the state providing early warning capability. It is reported that China is still within the Yongxing Island Xisha established anti-ship cruise missile installations. The report said, China will Yongxing Island in the Nansha Islands as to support its military operations inside the front post, the island’s runway has been lengthened.

The report notes that the Chinese navy is also in Sanya, Hainan Province, the construction of underground nuclear submarine base. The base can accommodate up to 20 nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers and other power projection vessels, can greatly enhance China’s strategic presence in the South China Sea and the military. This projection of China’s military power or control to the South China Sea area is particularly important in this piece. Territorial disputes with China, the existence of national and Japanese submarine in the South China Sea, China is very concerned about the increased activity, while the Chinese submarine is precisely the increased activity of U.S. naval forces in the region and the existence of a challenge. In addition to the Chinese navy’s operations, there are reports that China is a large-scale construction of new coastal patrol vessels. Related reports pointed out that the class coastal patrol ship equipped by the paramilitary groups, used to patrol the South China Sea.

Report points out that, obviously, China’s military buildup in the South China Sea is not only used to avoid or eliminate use of force (if necessary) any violation of its territorial sovereignty of disputed areas, other push factors include the building of the Chinese Navy to protect China’s maritime security, to ensure that their economic prosperity and energy supply, but to do these things need to protect sea lines of communication in Southeast Asia (the Straits of Malacca and Singapore Strait, the Sunda Strait and the Lombok Strait), and the South China Sea for the transport routes. In the past few years, as China’s crude oil transport vessels rushed to the increase in transportation volume has increased rapidly. Therefore, the South China Sea, where possible outbreak of conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the importance of the public should also be noticed. Of particular note, the Beijing government will now set his sights on a naval blockade strategy, which is intended to limit short-term U.S. military can provide assistance to Taiwan beyond the sea.

The report said, despite the growing Chinese military power, but access to new technology, China still needs some time to these technologies into the army of existing technologies. In addition, China does not have the waters far from land bases within the ongoing operations. Moreover, the Chinese right now do not have the strength of the aircraft carrier battle groups could be projected. However, according to a Chinese senior military officer said the People’s Liberation Army to build a future aircraft carrier. In November 2008, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense Foreign Affairs Office In an interview with Major General Qian Lihua, “Financial Times” interview, said that any of the Navy a big country dreams of one or more of the aircraft carrier has. It is worth noting that, the South China Sea Islands, the majority of islands are too small, can not become a base for further development of naval operations. As a result, control of the South China Sea is China’s sea lines of communication may be advantages of the Asia Pacific region the only way to the sea. Therefore, it should be controlled to produce only limited military zones Keys and control maritime communications lines and different look. Obviously, the latter are more strategic significance.

South China Sea tilt the balance of power is shifting in China

Nevertheless, in order to understand the changes in the South China Sea countries military strength, it is necessary from the relative value of the intentions and the possible role of the armed forces on the evaluation. Compared with the Southeast Asian countries, China does have a significant military advantage, but this advantage is still growing. For example, China has the region’s largest submarines, and fighter force. This is so that the construction of nuclear submarine base on Hainan Island’s move to the response to the South China Sea disputes are becoming very important.

Moreover, the report also said that construction of the South China Sea Fleet is also the focus of attention of other Southeast Asian countries, although the fleet-building process step by step – because the activities of the fleet’s geographical area is the South China Sea should be logical. In those from China in the Spratly Islands in the action feel threatened countries, Vietnam and the Philippines, the feelings of the most obvious. At present, the South China Sea tilt the balance of power is shifting in China, which could have a direct conflict in the South China Sea will have strategic impact: its will to suppress debate on Paracel Islands may also be in the escalating dispute over the Nansha Islands to take action.

Reported that, at this stage, even as Vietnam’s most powerful nation in Southeast Asia and do not have to compete with China’s military strength. At present, insufficient to support Vietnam’s sea power in the South China Sea will. However, since the mid-20th century, 90 years, Vietnam began its navy and air force modernization. This year in April, the Vietnamese government announced that its likely to purchase six Russian-made, “Kilo” class submarine. Moreover, Vietnam is expected to build its naval aviation capabilities to enhance its naval forces. Nevertheless, Vietnam is still the old platform, and the lack of funds and other problems.

However, the report continued to state that the existence of territorial dispute with China in other countries the situation worse than Vietnam. The Philippines, for example, although the Philippine Government’s efforts to modernize its armed forces and upgrade its equipment, but the Philippine naval and air forces are still weak. However, the naval forces in the region of the country’s most ill-conceived course ought to Brunei. To date, the Brunei Government has yet to establish any military presence in the Spratly Islands, nor to any declaration of sovereignty. However, Brunei has also begun to upgrade its military equipment. Finally Malaysian navy construction relatively smoothly. With other Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia is also trying to enhance its naval forces – in September of this year, Malaysia’s purchase of the first ships French “Scorpene” class submarines.

Reported that, in addition to the relative military weakness, the Southeast Asian countries received foreign military aid did not help them balance China’s influence in the South China Sea. In this case, the only counterbalance China’s military capabilities and perhaps only the United States, especially in Japan, Hong Kong, the U.S. Seventh Fleet in Yokosuka. However, the U.S. Government has repeatedly stressed that, with the Philippines in August 30, 1951 signed the “Philippine-US Mutual Defense Treaty” did not involve the sovereignty of the Philippines declared areas. Moreover, although since July 11, 1995 United States and Vietnam established diplomatic ties, bilateral relations have greatly improved, but so far not been in Vietnam and the United States to establish formal or tacit alliance. Moreover, whether or not to establish the actual alliance with Vietnam, Washington has so far remained reluctant involvement in Vietnam’s territorial disputes.

In this regard, the report’s analysis, the United States was reluctant to neighboring South China Sea to provide assistance in these countries not to abandon this strategic area, but because of reluctant involvement in the issue of jurisdiction. Although the United States has been closely following the development of South China Sea, but consistently limit its maintenance in the South China Sea, the extent of freedom of navigation and the Seventh Fleet mobility. Therefore, it is not clear that if the South China Sea conflict, the United States will provide Taiwan or the Philippines, to what extent help.
