Spartan scout "unmanned ship"
The unmanned surface speedboat deployed by Gettysburg is a 7-meter-long ship, equipped with electro-optical/infrared monitoring tower, surface search radar, digital image conversion equipment and a set of unmanned command and control equipment. On June 5438+February 1 day, three portable computers of the US Navy cruiser "Gettysburg" Operational Command Center (CDC) conducted a three-hour long-range navigation test for the first time, and all achieved the expected goals.
Have the world's top technology
The development plan of "Spartan Scout" was launched in May 2002. It is designed by the US Pacific Command and operated by the US Navy's Third Fleet. It uses the joint scientific research strength of the US Navy, the Army, the Royal Singapore Navy, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and the American First Group, so it has many world-class technologies.
From July 25th, 2002 to August 20th, 2002 1 day, the U.S. Navy conducted the performance test of the "Spartan Scout" unmanned surface speedboat codenamed "Fleet Combat Test-Juliet". Prior to this, in June and July 2002, the US Navy prepared for this performance test in Narragansett, Rhode Island.
This new type of combat speedboat is a semi-automatic unmanned surface ship with low cost, changeable shape and fast forward speed. It is equipped with an expedition sensor and weapon system to deal with the unbalanced threat of small ships. This rigid hull and inflatable boat can carry a payload of 3000 pounds (7-meter boat) to 5000 pounds (1 1 meter boat).
The equipment of "Spartan Scout" unmanned surface speedboat equipped with MIW module includes: AQS- 14/20X side detection sonar system, electronic equipment and winch. The "Spartan Scout" assembled by ISR- force protection module generally includes the following equipment: high-fidelity forward-looking infrared/charge coupled lens, GAU- 17 762mm gatling cannon, and biochemical detector (the "Spartan Scout" can use this detector to "sniff out" whether there are explosives, chemicals or other threatening items on other ships nearby); The equipment used by Spartan Scout with precision strike module is as follows: hydraulic identification dashboard, sight distance/laser indicator and Hellfire missile launcher.
Flexible combat mode and obvious battlefield advantages
"Spartan scouts" can be directly put into the sea to participate in the battle from other large surface warships or shore facilities, or they can be put into the combat area through air and airborne. It is mainly used for water surface surveillance and force protection, and can perform many important tasks, such as precision strike, MIW, ASW, port safety surveillance, etc., monitor passing ships at sea checkpoints, provide sufficient water for amphibious operations and marine replenishment, and reduce or eliminate unnecessary risks of our own personnel or materials.
Due to the flexible use of "plug and play" modules such as ISR, MIW and force protection, "Spartan Scout" has outstanding characteristics such as obvious battlefield advantages, less threat and strong network-centric warfare capability.
The existing technical capabilities of "Spartan Scout" are: it has a high endurance, can continuously perform TBD missions for 8 hours in waters with a radius of 150 nautical miles, and can perform all-weather combat missions under bad weather conditions, with a maximum sailing speed of 28 knots. But also can quickly change the combat mode and perform another task in the fastest time.
Major General James Stavlidis, commander of the "Enterprise" aircraft carrier strike brigade, revealed that "Spartan scouts" can not only perform the task of protecting naval port ships, but also provide port security for the Coast Guard. In addition, after modification, it can also be used for mine detection or anti-submarine warfare.
Stavlidis said that after joining Hellfire or Javelin missiles, Spartan scouts can also perform tasks such as attacking other surface ships or accurately hitting the coast. Different from other unmanned combat systems, unmanned surface ships can also provide communication relay services for aircraft, ships and submarines.
Counter-terrorism and military protection are the key points in the future.
In fiscal year 2003, the US Navy once again invested $36 million to start the Spartan project dedicated to anti-terrorism and force protection, vigorously develop new technologies for warship protection and unmanned surface speedboats, and provide possible defensive weapon platforms for US naval ports and important port facilities. The new modules of "Spartan Scout" planned to be developed in fiscal year 2003 include: artillery module, missile/rocket module and non-lethal weapon module.
Different from the developed unmanned surface speedboat, the new unmanned surface speedboat "Spartan Scout" used for anti-terrorism and military protection will have the characteristics of integrating multiple boats and modules into a complete system at the same time. The unmanned surface speedboat will pay more attention to the coordination with other ships and shore-based launch and repair systems to form a more powerful firepower network.
The "Spartan Scout" unmanned surface speedboat project came into being when the US Navy fleet increasingly needed a multi-purpose surface warship. Its main goal is to ensure that unmanned surface speedboats can be widely used in the military. It is reported that the "Spartan Scout" will be equipped with the US Navy's Third Fleet, Seventh Fleet, some troops of the US Army and the Royal Singapore Navy in the future. (river water)
But I advise you to be mentally prepared, because the training and life of scouts are beyond ordinary people's imagination. Read the following article first!
Reconnaissance hero Long Zhiyong told me. "
I am Zhuang, 1979, and I am 27 years old. 1977 After graduating from high school, I worked as a primary school teacher in 19.
In the counterattack against Vietnam in 79, I served as the deputy company commander of the militia company, leading a militia platoon to cooperate with the troops to fight and destroy.
Four Vietnamese agents were killed. In the eight years since I joined the army, I have been fighting as a scout in the front line of the struggle against Vietnam.
Our border scouts have been guarding the mountains all the year round, patrolling the border and lurking in the jungle, which is miserable.
It is common to deal with difficulties. On one occasion, our company was assigned a reconnaissance mission by the superior. I caught a cold and had a high fever.
I am not allowed to attend because I am ill. As soon as I heard this, I looked for the captain for more than two hours and told him that I was Ben.
People, familiar with the road, finally got the task. When climbing a hillside, my foot slipped because of my weakness.
I rolled down the hillside 10 meters and fell into a trap set by the Vietnamese army. Four bamboo sticks were inserted in my two calves. I'm already dead.
Hold the shaft wall with both hands, and your body will not fall. When my comrades pulled me out of the trap, it was thirty or forty centimeters long.
The bamboo stick is still stuck in my leg. I lie flat on the ground, one soldier holds my legs, and another soldier pulls bamboo poles. Each bamboo pole
The labels were inserted two or three centimeters deep, and when they were pulled out, they were still stained with bloody pieces of meat, which made me almost faint. The captain will send someone to deliver it.
I'm going back. I think we must insert the specified position before dawn. Although I am injured, my feet can still walk. Here you are.
When can I leave? I just gritted my teeth and continued to lead the way until the next day.
Service. Sometimes, in order to observe an important target and catch a fighter plane, we have to lurk under the eyes of the enemy for several days, even
Dozens of days. On one occasion, the Vietnamese army assembled a large number of artillery and shelled our border areas. In order to find out the enemy's artillery position and the enemy
Activities, indicating the target for our artillery, the superior ordered me to take a squad, cooperate with the artillery observation post in front, and lurk in high places.
Set up observation posts on the ground. This highland is isolated and prominent, and there are enemy troops on the left and right sides and in front, which are directly controlled by enemy fire.
Under the system. The transportation line between the highland and the rear is blocked by the enemy, and the supply of materials is often interrupted. We rely almost entirely on compressed dry food.
Hunger. There is often no water, so we spread our raincoats on the ground and drink rainwater. Sometimes we are so thirsty that we use daggers.
Dig the roots of the wind tail to quench your thirst. This kind of root is bitter and astringent, which makes your tongue numb. The weather was changeable at that time, and later
The sun made us thirsty and dizzy, then it rained cats and dogs, and we were soaked to the skin. Bites, mosquitoes and
Mountain leeches bite us day and night. One day, I felt an unbearable itch in the cubicle. I took off my pants and saw my thighs.
There are more than 10 leeches crawling inside. Some comrades in the class 10 have high fever and diarrhea, so do I.
Seven days. We worked hard and survived tenaciously, observed for 46 days and nights in a row, and reported the enemy situation to our command post successively.
Secondly, I took a photo of an enemy garrison, two observation posts, an ammunition depot and three artillery positions with my camera.
Our artillery pointed out the exact target. When we left this highland, our comrades were all with deep eyes and long hair. look
In this way, everyone couldn't help laughing. The artillery unit praised our scouts as their eyes and offered to invite them for us.
*。
Some people say that scouts in war are people who often shake hands with death. This is no exaggeration. Every time we go on a mission,
There is always the danger of stepping on a mine and being ambushed by the enemy. Fighting the Vietnamese army is a life-and-death struggle. Go 1984.
Let's talk about a capture battle in March: in the morning 1, six comrades and I arrived at the scheduled ambush point in the dark.
. At 9: 05 in the morning, six heavily armed Vietnamese agents pulled away and touched the border with China along the path next to the river ditch.
. 200 meters away from us, they seem to have found something, stopped and whispered together for a while, and then four Vietnamese troops.
Walking in the other direction, the remaining two people came to our ambush area in tandem. About 50 meters away from us, a guy suddenly
But "Hua" pushed the bullet and aimed at it. Did the enemy find us? Suddenly, we got nervous.
Because we are lurking on both sides of the enemy position, just in front of the enemy post, once the gun battle is exposed, I
We will be attacked on three sides and fall into the enemy's war. Even if the enemy fires first, it is difficult to escape. At this time, I motioned to my comrades.
Observe calmly and find that the enemy's aim has no target, sometimes east and sometimes west, and there is no target.
Call back their four accomplices. I judge they are trying to be brave. Sure enough, these two guys left with guns.
Come here. 20 meters, 10 meters ... two meters, I suddenly jumped from the grass and swooped down to the enemy in front. This guy also
One hand, just as I jumped up, he flashed and pointed the gun at my chest. Almost at the same moment, I quickly
Wave your left hand, chop the gun with block action, grab the enemy's barrel, chop the right palm on the enemy's stock, and chop the enemy's submachine gun.
Hit the ground, followed by the right fist, hit the enemy's head, hit the enemy's abdomen with the left fist, and kick the ground with the right foot.
Four quick and powerful moves will knock down the enemy. I flew up and rode on the enemy. I didn't expect this family.
This gang is also a bit militant. In the struggle against it, they punched and kicked, and an "upside down goldfish" kicked me in the back of the head, which in turn took me away.
I fell to the ground with my hands around my neck. Seeing stars and I find it difficult to breathe. If I relax a little, I may be attacked by the enemy.
Strangulation. I had only one thought at that time: I must not be defeated by the Vietnamese! I'm lucky, my feet are on the ground, my body is arched,
A carp beat him to the ground, turned his back on the enemy, grabbed his throat with both hands and spoke Vietnamese.
Shouted: "don't move, we will be lenient with the prisoner, and if you resist again, you will be killed!" " "At this time, a comrade-in-arms also rushed up, together.
Caught the enemy. The Vietnamese army behind him, seeing the battle scene, ran back in fear and was used by two comrades.
Kill with a submachine gun. The other four Vietnamese troops then turned to the mountainside on our right, about 60 meters away from where we fought.
Confused by this sudden situation, I craned my neck to look down. Before they knew it, they were covered by our fire.
All the groups were overthrown. The battle only took more than a minute. When the enemy stationed at the station came to reinforce us, we had taken the prisoners.
, leave the battlefield. After the trial, the prisoner was an agent monitor, who provided us with the distribution of enemy agent camps and
The law of activities provides a basis for the superior to make plans to crack down on enemy spy activities.
The situation on the battlefield is complicated and changeable. No matter how specific and thoughtful the instructions from the superior are, it is impossible.
Completely in line with the actual situation. Our scouts should be good at improvising when they encounter unexpected situations in the execution of their tasks.
The danger was saved. We were assigned the task of catching enemy agents. I was the vice company commander at that time. Carefully planned
Platoon, I took eight scouts and set out in the night fog. When I arrived at the scene, I found that, alas, it was good for me to book the terrain of the ambush point.
The child is very unfavorable. This is a high mountain, close to the enemy's only road, covered with thatch, and then go down.
This is a crooked ditch. If we lurk on the ridge, although commanding and easy to attack, from top to bottom.
Jump, there is more room. When the enemy panics, he can roll along the trench and escape. So, I decisively changed the dive point.
In the grass under the road, from bottom to top, the enemy has no way out. I hid in the grass for observation, and there were other wars.
Scholars dig holes for concealment, while people hide in them, cover them with turf and branches, and only show two eyes to monitor the enemy's situation. The next morning.
Before the fog cleared, we received a signal from the command group: "Six yellow dogs are coming with their tails up." this is
The signal is that six Vietnamese soldiers are coming with guns. I gave the signal that everyone should be ready for battle. These enemies often come to me.
Harassment and destruction, very cunning, they walked for a while, then stopped and called two Vietnamese who went up the mountain to cut wood to get one.
A dog is exploring ahead. When I entered the ambush area, the dog seemed to find something, scurrying around, in the second squad leader Wendegang
Hide the smell around the pit. A Vietnamese citizen stopped to pee on the side of the road and hit a monitor Fan right on the head.
. A "Gordon" in my heart is creepy. As long as a monitor moves a little, he will expose the target. But his screen
Hold your breath and don't move. The Vietnamese found nothing and took the dog away. The six Vietnamese troops in the back, see the front.
There was nothing on the surface, so he kept his distance and dared to come to us. When four enemies turned into a fork in the road behind them.
As soon as the two enemies approached me, I shouted "Go!" A man jumped over and an enemy turned around in panic.
Muzzle, ready to shoot, I blocked his submachine gun with a wooden stick prepared in advance, and then stabbed him in the chest with a stick.
A flying leg kicked him in the crotch, and the enemy fell to the ground with a scream and was captured alive by us. At the same time, another enemy
People waved machetes and cut at my head. I swept it with another stick and the machete flew far away. He saw a bad situation and turned and ran.
I was shot and killed by my comrades. When we are ready to retreat according to the scheduled route, I think this struggle is likely to be disrupted.
Enemies of the garrison. If the original planned route passes through the enemy's artillery blockade, it will inevitably cause casualties.
. I immediately decided to go another way. Although this road has to cross the cliff and cross the minefield of 100 meters, it is unexpected, but
It's safer to avoid the enemy's fire control area. As expected, when we just left the hiding place about 50 meters,
The enemy's gunfire blocked our original return route, and the bombed vegetation was everywhere. We took the prisoners and all returned safely.
Come back. '
In the battle, we attach importance to the study of the enemy's situation, get familiar with the characteristics of the enemy, seize the fighter plane and annihilate the enemy. There is a passage.
In time, we confronted the enemy stationed in the Vietnamese army, attacked the people on our border many times, and attempted to sneak up on our border post.
The superior decided to pull out this nail. After receiving the task, we went out for latent reconnaissance four times before and approached observation twice. According to the situation
It is very difficult to analyze the situation and destroy this enemy. The enemy is stationed on the right side of the highway, which is convenient for maneuvering, and it is southwest of it.
Two enemy companies are stationed about one kilometer in the southeast, and two observation posts are set up in the northeast and northwest respectively.
Ring defense. Lane is bad, can get in, can't get out. But it also has many advantages, mainly the enemy's garrison points.
The intersection is a ravine, and the terrain is complex, which is convenient for me to insert it hidden. In addition, the enemy is afraid of being ambushed at night and dare not underestimate him.
Move it. After repeated analysis and demonstration, the head of the division and we determined the operational plan of "winning more with less, fighting quickly and withdrawing quickly".
I decided to give full play to my scout's specialty of being familiar with the terrain and being flexible in action, and unexpectedly annihilate this enemy. Company selection
Deploy 15 scouts with rich operational experience to form an attack-breaking team, with the old company commander as the team leader and me as the deputy team leader, with an advanced team.
. Before leaving, I suddenly received a letter from my girlfriend. When I opened it, it turned out to be a dear John letter. The letter wrote:
"As a scout, you are one of ten thousand people in Qian Qian. As my fiance, you are the only one for me. Instead of worrying about the future
It is better to lose now than to lose now. "At that time, I had an indescribable taste in my heart. Although I had experienced several lovelorn times, I was like this.
This is the first time before the second expedition. But I think, a fierce battle is about to begin, and I am not allowed to take the exam myself.
Worried about the feelings of these children! I stood in front of the queue and shouted "Let's go", and my personal troubles were forgotten. A few days ago.
It was raining in Mao Mao at night, and it was too dark to see my fingers. In order to avoid the enemy's minefield, we chose halfway up the mountain.
A winding path, 10 kilometers, walked for more than five hours, and was inserted behind the enemy's garrison without anyone knowing.
More than 20 meters away. Just after occupying the shooting position, two enemy military dogs barked at us. Two enemy sentries immediately called the police.
Get up, take a gun, and search forward with a flashlight. It's urgent The old company commander and I raised our submachine guns and fired first.
A bullet passed by, killing two enemies and two military dogs. Almost at the same time, a monitor fired a flare and put
The whole goal shines brightly. "fight!" Our army fired eight rocket launchers and seven submachine guns at the same time, and the enemy defenders became a piece.
In the sea of fire, some enemies met the dream Yan, and some tried to escape in shorts, but they were sent out by dense bullets as soon as they went out.
Go to the west. In the light of fire, we found another enemy's ammunition depot and fired a rocket to detonate it.
In this battle, it took only three minutes to wipe out 32 enemies, with no casualties. The border people heard that we were wiped out.
The enemy came to the camp to offer their condolences, saying that we would avenge them and kill them! The superior leader praised our creation.
An example of a devastating attack was given. Later, a comrade-in-arms learned that my girlfriend and I broke up and went to war, so they went to find that.
The girls were reasonable and I dissuaded them. I think love should be based on understanding. I can't force anyone who doesn't understand me.
Our Girl Scouts made sacrifices for me. A person who loves his motherland and devotes himself to national defense can win love in the end. at present
Now I have a happy family and a lovely child, whom my comrades affectionately call the boy scout.
In the past eight years, in the battles of life and death again and again, I have not been timid or flinched, because I am
He came to the army with a strong desire to defend his hometown and serve the motherland. My home is in Tunpan Township, Jingxi County, Guangxi, only with Vietnam.
Across a mountain. With hostility, Vietnamese hegemonists carried out armed provocations on China's borders, undermining the peaceful life of the people in their hometown.
Live. 1978, my uncle is only 38 years old. When he was working underground, his left leg was blown up by a mine laid by Vietnamese agents and he died.
Physical disability. My good classmate Huang Hai was captured by the Vietnamese army on his way to school, and his life and death are still unknown. On the border, like my uncle.
There are many innocent victims like classmates. This-a bloody case, burning the fire of hatred in my heart. Wojiafu
There is a martyr cemetery nearby, where the martyrs who died in the counterattack against Vietnam are buried. Most of them are foreign brothers.
I think, for the peace of the motherland, my foreign brothers have dedicated themselves to my hometown. I am a young man living in the border.
In 2008, when there is no peace in my hometown, I have a greater responsibility to defend my country. So, I resolutely gave up the opportunity to be a public security cadre.
Will joined the ranks of border scouts.
It is important to be a scout with both wisdom and courage. From the day I became a soldier, I studied hard and practiced hard.
Excellent reconnaissance skills. Wang, an old platoon leader, is good at martial arts. He is very strict with us, and sometimes even seems to have it.
A little heartless. Every morning, he leads us to 10 km armed cross-country and lets us throw 36 grenades at night.
Do 50 push-ups, squat down with bricks in hand, and push bricks with both hands 10000 times a day. Although I grew up in the border mountains, I have suffered from it since I was a child.
I'm used to it. After a day's practice, all my bones seem to be falling apart. I can't hold chopsticks stably when I eat, and I can't squat my legs when I go to the toilet.
Rock climbing training, in particular, is sometimes a bit overwhelming. One day, the platoon leader took us to a steep cliff.
I saw a thumb-thick nylon rope hanging from the top of a cliff more than 300 meters high. I fastened the safety and grabbed the rope and feet with both hands.
Push the cliff and go up step by step. When I climbed to about 200 meters high, my arm ached and cramped, and I slipped down at once, and my palms were covered with quilts.
The rope rubbed off two pieces of skin. I thought the platoon leader would tell me to rest, but he gave me two plasters on my hand and shouted at me.
Issue a password; "Go!" I gritted my teeth and tried my best to climb up about 50 meters. My peeling palms make me feel cold.
Sweat-it slipped down again. I opened the plaster on my hand and saw that the wound just now had broken meat and blood on my hand.
Palm. Chang flew forward and asked the medic to dress me simply. Another password: "Go!" "I can't help but throw it away.
Tears. But cry, cry, the world is still good. That night, the platoon leader came to see me specially, on the one hand to comfort and encourage me, on the other hand,
He also told me that only by practicing hard at ordinary times can the task be successfully completed in wartime. I don't hate the platoon leader, I know.
He said it was for our own good. Later, in the battle, I climbed the cliff like a monkey again and again and avoided it.
Opening the enemy's minefield is thanks to the strict training of our platoon leader. Thousands of beatings and thousands of hard training have put my body
Good physical training, better reconnaissance skills. Ten kilometers of armed cross-country, I have sandbags tied to my legs and two backpacks, which makes it easy to run.
Complete the journey. I can shoot all kinds of light weapons accurately, and I can shoot both kinds of small guns. According to the needs of actual combat,
I studied hard and mastered modern reconnaissance techniques such as military terrain, meteorology, photography, radio, car driving and Vietnamese. still
I learned from teachers everywhere, sought advice from folk boxers, and went to Shaolin Temple to learn traditional China martial arts such as boxing, Qi * and acupuncture.
Because of my comprehensive skills of reconnaissance and arrest, every time I perform the arrest task, the leader designates me as the first arrest.
Hands.
My growth and progress can not be separated from the influence of the fine traditions of the army and the exemplary role of many heroic models. Woyong
I will never forget my old monitor and reconnaissance hero Jiang Hengyou. The old monitor is the son of a cadre, fighting in the post of scout.
Nine spring and autumn periods. In the face of difficulties and love twists and turns, his belief in devoting himself to border defense has never wavered, and he is now 30 years old.
He led his comrades-in-arms to complete the reconnaissance task, and won first class * once, second class * and third class * twice each. Just helping him pack in the army.
Traces of materials, reported that his superiors awarded him the title of reconnaissance hero, and he died heroically in a battle. Me and my comrades-in-arms
The children wept bitterly with the body of the old monitor. His sacrifice caused great sorrow to the whole division, and the division leader personally defended him.
Ling, residents from old people to children flocked to say goodbye to the hero. The most memorable scene is the hero's grave.
. Some veterans brought by Jiang Huanyou came all the way from other places to attend his funeral. He just set up a relationship barrier.
Department, never seen a girlfriend, crying in front of the grave; Even the girlfriend who had a lover with Jiang Huan and then broke up, too
Rushed to the border and shed tears of regret at the hero's grave. Seeing these heartbreaking scenes, I deeply feel that I
It is more important for our scouts to die for their country than Mount Tai. People understand us and young friends understand us. I am determined to follow the old class.
Walk with long footprints. From being a squad leader and platoon leader to being a company commander, I do whatever the old squad leader does, and I always perform my duties.
Service, I always lead the way, retreat behind, mine clearance first, prisoners first.
Since I became a scout, I have carried out more than 30 combat missions such as reconnaissance and capture, and killed 42 enemies with my comrades.
Name, captured four enemies, of which I personally captured two enemies and killed three, and none of us suffered casualties. Comrades trust me and say
Go on a mission with me and feel at ease. Border people praised me as "Li Xiangyang in the 1980s". Guangzhou Military Region awarded me "
I was awarded the honorary title of "Reconnaissance of Wei Ying" by my superiors, with two first-class merits * and three third-class merits *. The enemy hates me.
Bones, offering a reward of 1.5 million to buy my head, threatening to cut me to pieces. I think honor belongs to the education of the party.
Thanks to the training of army chiefs and the help of comrades; I am extremely proud of the hatred and curse of the enemy! People's love
Dai has given me infinite strength, and I will build a new one for the people in the struggle to protect the border and resist the enemy!
Is there a new understanding?
