Chapter 1658 USD 7.6 billion satellite system

The solution proposed by the United States is to provide more early warning aircraft for use by the Saudi army.

Use early warning aircraft to integrate the entire combat command system.

The command system the United States is willing to provide to Saudi Arabia is not as advanced as they have seen in the Qilian Mountains, and it is impossible to transmit combat commands to every combat team, or even every tank, and it is impossible for every combat team to feedback the situation.

There are not many units that coordinate early warning functions, so more early warning aircraft are required.

The United States' global satellite system is not open to Saudi Arabia at all.

"Kuwait is also a member of the semiconductor defense force. They will purchase early warning aircraft from Hongqi Group. Although the number is not large, during the operation, it can provide some early warning and other tasks for the semiconductor defense force..."

Xie Kai made a detailed analysis of the situation.

It is to tell the Saudis that if this is not the case, it will be difficult to integrate the entire semiconductor defense force.

The weapons and equipment provided by the Americans cannot be integrated into the satellite systems provided by China.

In this way, the functions of the satellite system purchased by Saudi Arabia will be greatly reduced.

Of course, Xie Kai also knew that it was impossible to use Chinese satellite systems to integrate with American equipment. No one would agree to open an interface to the other party. That involved too many things, the most important thing was national defense and security.

Technically, it is the simplest.

However, he also knew that the main purpose of Saudi Arabia's satellite system was to upgrade the Great Dongfeng that Saudi Arabia has. With satellite guidance, hitting the target more accurately is not a dream.

The original Dadongfeng had a range of less than 3,000 kilometers, and the circumferential error reached 1,500 meters.

Once the satellite guidance is upgraded, this will reduce the accuracy to 100 meters or even higher. When the satellite system is upgraded a little more, five meters or ten meters, that's not a problem...

Now the satellite system can also provide command of the entire army, and Saudi Arabia will naturally not object.

"If it is provided to Kuwait satellite services, it will seriously affect my country's use of satellites..."

Prince Sultan made Xie Kai feel a little moved.

Share the same satellite channel, Kuwait equipment is purchased from Hongqi Group, and it is natural and easy to use.

It will be easier for the peninsula defense forces to integrate in the future.

However, China's satellite performance is too poor. Once it is leased to Kuwait and letting them use some functions will affect Saudi Arabia's use of satellite system networks.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, absolutely not. We will design satellites according to the contract. The channels provided for Kuwait are added to the use. In this area, you don't have to worry about affecting your country's use... At the same time, in terms of safety performance, Kuwait cannot affect satellites, and the control of the channels rented to them is in Hongqi Group... Of course, such cooperation allows our technical team to monitor the performance status of the satellites all the time, which is of great benefit to providing logistics support services to you and preventing satellites from falling out of orbit and losing control..."

Satellites in space will completely lose their function once they lose ground control.

What Xie Kai said forced the Saudis to consider.

Once Xie Kai's opinion was rejected, Hongqi Group would lose control of the satellite, and they would have no choice but to do so.

It is almost impossible for Saudi Arabia to say that Hongqi Group will not intervene.

Unless they have their own satellite team.

If there is really, as for buying it from China?

It is designed directly by its own team, then it is found in OEM factories to produce, and then it is then searched for companies from countries that launch satellites around the world to help them launch them into orbit.

Xie Kai's plan has been planned long ago.

The reason I haven't talked about it before is to achieve this goal.

It is impossible to launch two sets of satellites.

Unless they want to build a global satellite network that provides satellite rental services to the world.

Xie Kai thought that the key is that this cost is not something that any company can do.

Didn't you see, is there no trace of the country's Beidou system at present?

Even in the Beidou system, the country has saved up money for decades. When Xie Kai left, it is said that he has not completed the global networking plan...

The Saudis understood why Xie Kai agreed to rent a satellite system to Kuwait at the beginning.

Love has been planning this.

"Your Highness! If the same satellite system is used, it will be of great benefit to the development of the entire peninsula defense force. Everyone uses standard unification, which is the best way to avoid confusion problems caused by different intervention standards after integration. Just as NATO countries are currently trying to unify the standards..."

NATO countries have been working hard to unify standards, but they have not completed it.

Even if an international standard is specially developed for this, it will be a whole.

Most European countries were industrial powers.

The United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the United States all have their own technical standards.

In some areas, no country is willing to use international standards.

This makes it very difficult for the multinational troops led by the US military to integrate.

Even if the US government strives to promote integration, European countries are unwilling to accept it for their own interests.

Whoever masters the formulation of standards will have more say.

The United States has been implementing a global integration strategy before. European countries are trembling under the torrent of the Soviet Union, so they can only follow the United States.

Now the Soviet Union is no longer able to do it, and it is impossible to scare everyone. Who would be happy to have countries like the United States, which were established by criminals who were exiled by Europe?

These problems do not exist in countries throughout the Middle East.

The countries in the Middle East have no manufacturing power except that messing around. Everyone is lying on oil and enjoying life. What industry does it take?

Seeing that several senior Saudi officials no longer refused, Xie Kai continued to tell them more benefits.

It seems that such cooperation can achieve Saudi Arabia's goal.

Even if the same satellite is the same, Kuwait will not interfere with each other in the use of satellite functions.

Two channels are reserved during design and are not provided to Saudi Arabia. As long as the technical standards in the contract are met, Saudi Arabia has no choice.

After Xie Kai's persuasion, Saudi Arabia finally said that it would study the plan.

What Xie Kai understood was that the Saudi delegation agreed.

The Kuwaiti people also opposed Xie Kai's plan at the beginning.

Samaco asked Xie Kai if he thought someone from Ko had no money and did this.

Xie Kai answered honestly, and it was indeed true that if someone Ke was really rich, he would not rent satellites, but would directly buy a set and play by himself like someone Sha.

This made the members of the Kuwait delegation almost swearing Xie Kai's face full of blood, and in the end they had no choice but to agree.

They need satellite functions and they have to save money.

There is no need to care whose satellite it is. Even if the Hongqi Group provides them with the Soviet GLONAS global satellite system or the US G satellite system, Ke doesn't care.

Anyway, if you sign a contract with Hongqi Group, and if there is a problem with the service at that time, they will not look for Saudis, just look for Hongqi Group...

After all, Kuwait is really not much money now.

In addition, Kuwait hopes that Xie Kai will reach an agreement with them as soon as possible, sign a contract and provide equipment, so he no longer insists on it.

Kuwait has a land area of ​​only more than 10,000 square kilometers, which is enough to meet the functions of use.

Xie Kai achieved his goal without much energy.

As compensation for Saudi Arabia, when the price was negotiated later, the entire satellite system was reduced from Xie Kai's original offer of US$600 million to US$5.2 billion. Saudi Arabia did not express its opinion, but only required that the satellites provided by Hongqi Group must ensure at least 8 converters, which is twice as high as domestic satellites in China.

Xie Kai did not refuse this too much.

The reason is no different, aerospace can design satellites with 12 converters.

From the launch of the country's first static orbit satellite in 1984, there are only 2 c-band converters on it, which can perform two channels of television broadcast and 1000 telephone transmission capabilities; to the 2018 Oriental Red 2 A-Satellite, which has 4 c-band converters, which can perform four color TV signal transmission and 3000 telephone transmission capabilities {specific situation, the new book "Strongguo Express" will be introduced specifically}...

While the converter increases, while domestic satellite communication increases, image transmission quality, beam equivalent radiation power, satellite signals, etc. are also increasing.

With the investment of 404, aerospace has accelerated a lot in this regard.

Kuwait rents 4 signal channels and pays Hongqi Group a 60 million US dollars a year to build the ground system and pay extra money.

As for subsequent satellite system upgrades, they will follow the development of satellite technology and Saudi Arabia's domestic use needs to discuss again after this batch of satellites reaches their service life...

In this way, the three parties reached China's first satellite sale contract.

The contract is 4 years, and the Kuwaiti people will pay US$2.4 billion.

At the same time, the contract also guarantees that if the service life cannot reach 4 years, Hongqi Group must pay for Saudi Arabia to launch satellite systems...

"Since the cooperation agreement on satellite systems has been reached, other equipment can be discussed."

Rafata was very dissatisfied with Xie Kai.

But his dissatisfaction could not make him decide to refuse to purchase equipment from Hongqi Group.

The Hongqi collective tank has a combat capability that is not far from the 1a1 provided by the United States, but its price is much lower.

There are other equipment.

"Thank you, our country needs an upgraded version of Feidun-359. The avant-garde air defense missile used by Feidun-359 is only 6,500 meters in range and firing height of only 5,000 meters; the defense range is too close, and the reaction distance is too close... For example, your improved model with a range of 15 kilometers and a firing height of 10,000 meters..."

Prince Sultan made a clear demand to Xie Kai.

Saudi Arabia should not be behind.

"General, you know our situation. The improved model has not been successfully studied... and because our troops will not be equipped with these weapons, and there are no orders in the international market, there are not too many investments in R&D!"

Xie Kai pretended to be embarrassed.

But I was snickering in my heart.

Sure enough, Saudi tycoon still hopes for an air defense system with a larger defense range.
