Chapter 578 Introducing Active Air-to-Air Missiles
Welcome everyone to:. They all saw that one of the important reasons why Ousheng Electronics is so profitable is that every project of Ousheng Electronics is cross-generational! From Walkman to Mobile Communications, this shows that the boss of Ousheng Electronics has a really unique vision. Moreover, Ousheng Electronics now brings together many outstanding electronic engineers in Europe and has very strong R&D capabilities.
In the UK, the hunter early warning aircraft, which had been developed for a long time but had not been finalized, was successfully exported to Iraq with the help of Ousheng Company. Moreover, the engineers of Ousheng Electronics Company participated in the final technical research. Soon, the early warning aircraft was finalized and equipped with the Iraqi Air Force.
After the first two aircraft were equipped, Iraq still intends to transform two more aircraft, but in terms of the choice of aircraft, whether to choose the Il 76 they just imported or to modify them from China's Yun-10 passenger plane, it has not been finalized.
Ousheng Electronics has developed into the most profitable company in the UK and has the largest tax payments. It is supported by the British government as a key enterprise. At the same time, Ousheng Electronics is also helping the British government. For example, the British government intends to privatize state-owned enterprises, Ousheng Electronics immediately spent money to purchase shares of British Aerospace.
Although they knew that the president of Ousheng Electronics was not a British, but a Saudi, Saudi Arabia had a friendly and good relationship with Western countries. In addition, Ousheng Electronics was just involved in military products, so they did not have any doubts about Ousheng Electronics. If they knew that this Sarah was sent by His Excellency Kusai, the most famous in the Middle East, he would probably have a lot of attention.
Sarah herself knows that the company can develop to this day. Although it is inseparable from her efforts, the Kusai in Iraq is the real driving force for Ousheng Company to grow. She is already preparing to split a department within Ousheng Electronics to systematically carry out the continuous development of mobile communication projects. Ousheng said that this project will make Ousheng Electronics a world giant.
In addition, Your Excellency Kusai instructed her the company's next development focus: using Intel's 8088 chip to start Ousheng's own personal computer research and development. Ousheng Electronics will separate two departments: the personal computer department and the network application department.
Now, ibm has launched a personal computer based on the Intel 8088 processor: 5150 computer, which is the prototype of a modern PC and has an operating system: ms-dos (Microsoft Disk Operating System). Apple, founded by Jobs, has developed a matosh computer, a vivid and unique graphical interface that appears on the personal computer. Seizing the commanding heights of future technology, that is, personal computers and the Internet!
Sarah did not hesitate at all about his advice from Mr. Kusai. She asked the company's new engineer to start research on these aspects.
At the same time, Sarah's request for Your Excellency Kusai was also completely satisfied. For example, Kusai hoped to get Sky Flash, something that she was not interested in at all. She still spent a lot of energy to master the entire Sky Flash project very clearly.
This missile is a medium-range air-to-air missile that was successfully developed by the British on the basis of the US Aim-7e-2. It is mainly modified with a single-pulse semi-active radar seeker developed by Marconi, working in the J-band, and has better anti-electronic interference capabilities and guidance accuracy. Now, in addition to the British own air force equipment, this missile is also successfully equipped with the Swedish Saber ja37 Thunderfighter, which began to be delivered to the Swedish Air Force in 1980.
At this time, the United States has begun to develop more advanced active radar-guided Aim-120 missiles. Sweden feels the crisis. In order not to spend a high price to buy this missile from the United States in the future, it also has advanced medium-range missiles equipped with the jas-39 Gripen fighter they are developing. Saber and Aerospace signed a contract to jointly develop an active radar-guided advanced air-to-air missile based on the Sky Flash, code name: Active Sky Flash!
However, Britain no longer had the majesty of the former empire of the Sun never set. Due to serious economic problems, they were unable to continue to develop this missile. Because of insufficient funds, Saber Power has urged several times, and the two sides had verbal wars.
At this time, Sarah was no longer the naive Saudi princess. Her sense of smell became as sharp as Kusai. She acquired the stock of Aerospace and became a major shareholder of Aerospace. Naturally, she had the obligation to give more dividends to her, right?
So, after becoming a shareholder of Aerospace, Sarah attended the shareholders' meeting of Aerospace. At the meeting, she was very dissatisfied with the current performance of Aerospace. Aerospace has been privatized and will not be supported by the government free of charge. Therefore, the most important thing for the company now is how to turn losses into profits!
First, we discussed some civilian passenger aircraft, and then they discussed the military aircraft. Since it has been privatized, how to make money is the most important thing. Without violating British policies, we should export more weapons to foreign countries. Only when the company makes a lot of profits can they have more dividends.
At this time, the manager in charge of military aircraft project in the company suggested to Sarah that if a project could be negotiated, it would bring a huge profit.
Sarah felt keenly that the other party was referring to it. Sure enough, what the other party proposed was the Fierce Wind Fighter Bomber ordered by the Saudi Air Force! This fighter jet was a two-seat, twin-engine supersonic swept-wing fighter jointly developed by the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. It began to develop in the mid-year period, flew for the first time in 1974, and entered service in July 1980. Then, they began to sell it out, and after countless failures, they only sold it to Saudi Arabia.
Now, the aircraft ordered by Saudi Arabia have begun to be produced, but Saudi Arabia is unwilling to order the Sky Flash missiles that accompany this type of aircraft, but rather wants to order the US Sparrow missile! Saudi Arabia is unwilling to have another model of missile in its arsenal, and their logistics personnel will find it troublesome.
Sarah knew that the other party said this, naturally it was intentional, because her current nationality or Saudi nationality. They also knew that their true identity was a Saudi princess.
Sarah took on this task without hesitation and was willing to help the space company and lobby the Saudi government to equip them with this kind of missile.
Because, now Sarah can say that she knows more than those stubborn guys in China. This kind of missile is more advanced than the US missiles, so why not be equipped? She also guessed that those lazy guys in the Air Force are unwilling to learn more about the maintenance of missiles, right?
Then, Sarah contacted the country and the one she directly looked for was King Fahd. After explaining the various performances in detail, she obtained King Fahd's consent. The Saudi Air Force was willing to order 500 such missiles and equipped with nearly 60 Fierce Wind fighters ordered by Saudi Arabia.
This news excited the senior management of the Aerospace Company for a while. Five hundred missiles, the missile department of the Aerospace Company will reap nearly 20 million pounds in profits, and Saudi Arabia is indeed a big deal. With this funding, they can continue to take the initiative to research the sky flash.
Moreover, good news comes one after another. The Princess Sarah not only successfully sold this missile to Saudi Arabia, but also successfully sold this missile to Iraq again.
After Hunting the AWA aircraft project, Sarah once again helped the Aerospace company sell air combat equipment to Iraq and helped the Aerospace company earn a large amount of foreign exchange.
However, the Aerospace Company hesitated because Iraq proposed the condition that the remaining 300 missiles were produced in advance after the Aerospace Company delivered the 200 missiles produced in advance, and the remaining 300 were produced in Iraq.
Although Iraq has begun to produce a variety of weapons, even the most advanced fighter jets of the United States F-20, French Phantom 4000, and these most advanced fighter jets have begun to be produced in Iraq, out of great concern, the aerospace company did not agree immediately. They were hesitating and exporting production lines, which was their first time.
However, unexpectedly, the Arab countries were so united. Just when the aerospace company rejected Iraq's proposal, the Saudi Ministry of Defense suddenly changed its mind. Since they had planned to introduce the Mirage 4000 fighter jet from Iraq, they wanted to introduce the Matra 530 missile of French Aerospace. Iraq has begun negotiations with France to discuss the specific plan for this introduction. France even sold the Mirage 4000 production line to Iraq. It is naturally even more difficult to deal with a missile.
Moreover, what made them most depressed was that Iraq actually began to actively contact Sweden, hoping to participate in Sweden's ongoing active skylight missile program, and wanted to kick the UK out of this program. Anyway, the UK has shared the technology of the missile body with Sweden, and the seeker was mainly developed by Swedish Saber. This news made British Aerospace vomit blood.
At this time, they asked Sarah again to lobby in the Middle East. Iraqis wanted production lines, but they were all profitable. Princess Sarah, who had great energy in the Middle East, made another move and finally helped the aerospace company settle this matter. Saudi Arabia and Iraq both ordered such missiles. However, Saudi Arabia hoped that the last 300 missiles they ordered would also be produced from Iraq's production lines. As compensation, Saudi Arabia and Iraq decided to invest 50 million US dollars each, totaling 100 million US dollars to help the UK and Swedish companies cooperate to complete the development of the Active Sky Flash missile. However, after the development is successful, the active missile technology needs to be provided to Iraq.
Faced with the financial support from the Middle East, British Aerospace is very happy. The Middle East is indeed a wealthy country, and it is really generous. With this part of the funds, there will be no problem with the subsequent active development.
