Flying Network Hub - B-52 bomber

According to the "Popular Mechanics", Boeing specialists upgraded one of their B-52 bombers, turning it into a support point for the CONECT (Combat Network Communications Technology) combat system. In the future, it is planned to upgrade the 76 aircraft.

The bomber received a system of broadband access to the satellite network. He maintains constant communication with the Ministry of Defense and various staffs, which makes it possible to carry out instant corrections of mission plans, obtaining the necessary data at high speed, and also remotely monitor “intelligent weapon».

It is worth noting that the updated B-52 is not equipped with the most modern equipment. In particular, fortified keyboards and trackballs are used, since, according to US officials, touch screens do not have the required degree of reliability.

We must actively develop cyber units in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Americans won how many goals they decided to do - they will have to be put under their control! Well, either block the transmitted information from them, or change the goals and their coordinates. Let their precision weapons fly in them ...

In my opinion, it will fall much earlier - immediately after the use of nuclear weapons.
All this - for warfare with a knowingly weaker enemy. What satellite networks are there during the global nuclear war! In the case of the use of nearby nuclear weapons with an electromagnetic pulse alone, all microcircuits will burn out.

Yeah, yes, so the satellites will extinguish them and that’s all for the airplane, so the price is worthless.

And for the use of nuclear weapons, the Americans have completely different weapons. Actually, like us, buying, for example, the Mi-28, or do not think that we are throwing money down the drain - "after all, in a nuclear war it will not be of much use."

The problem is that they have about fifty cars in flight condition, the rest are donors. Not so long ago there was an analytical program about nuclear weapons in the USA and their delivery vehicles.

[Dazdranagon]

Each side pledged to have no more than two missile defense systems (around the capital and in the area where the launchers of intercontinental ballistic missiles are concentrated) ... Later, in July 1974, under the additional protocol to this Treaty, it was allowed to have only one such system ... - ABM agreement with the United States of 1972.

We are less attached to satellites than the US Army. But this is certainly not a reason not to develop their means of communication and navigation. but our attempts are for some reason completely accidental fail.

However, it is possible that deliberate sabotage is to blame. This RIA Novosti said the chairman of the commission to investigate the causes of the accident, the first deputy general director of TsNIImash Alexander Danilyuk.

[basmach]

You don’t have to say that you don’t understand. Any inertial guidance system has the property of accumulating errors, which leads to a rather significant deviation. Correction is used to eliminate such errors (astro correction, control points of the route in the Kyrgyz Republic for the analysis of the Earth's surface, satellite and so on). So inertial s-we can not compete with satellite in any way, these satellites serve as an addition to inertial.

Yes, but ... not to the essential. But with the advent of laser gyroscopes in systems and in general ... without platform ICs, where certain accelerations (we will not trump technical terms) are no longer measured by accelerometers ..... errors. Which are correct " they are called "as" residuals "have not large values ​​at all, which does not lead to significant errors in navigation and the arrival of the product to the target, and if at the final stage active guidance and target acquisition is provided. then here is a" super correction "for the entire system. this principle is implemented in Kaira (but not very well) and in Platan (just very cool)
But the fact that accuracy by satellite and purely by inertia is a big difference. Here you are absolutely right +!

[basmach]

Good gentleman, I have already written, there is no need to talk about what you do not understand. At least I studied PrNK "Kaira" at the school, but served as an engineer PrNK-54 (Su-17M4). I am typing especially for you - "Theoretical foundations. Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, and speed is the rate of change of position. Measuring the acceleration of movement, you can calculate the speed by integrating it. By integrating the speed, you can determine the current position (coordinates) of the aircraft or vessel. Thus , the inertial navigation system is a dead reckoning system. Acceleration is a vector quantity that has not only a numerical value, but also a direction. Therefore, a sensor system that determines acceleration must measure both its magnitude and its direction. One of the disadvantages of inertial navigation systems is the fact that they need to be adjusted (set) not only in speed and location, but also in spatial position (orientation relative to a given base, for example, the horizon). A big drawback of the inertial navigation system is that its error accumulates over time. This is due to the integrating action the system itself. The speed is calculated by integrating the acceleration, and the constant acceleration error is converted into a continuously increasing speed error. The main cause of error in a mechanical gyroscope is friction in moving parts. Backscattering damages the operation of the laser gyroscope, i.e. scattering of the laser beam by the surfaces of mirrors and by gas molecules encountered in the path of the beam. Backscattering distorts the spot pattern so that it rotates with the body. Eliminating and minimizing backscatter requires the utmost precision in the design and manufacture of laser gyroscopes. “That's short. In general, learn the materiel.

[andj61]

Back in the 80s, we had programs for destroying satellites in various ways - both with ground and air missiles, and space combat stations (Almaz-Salut), and by launching high-speed clouds of space debris (bolts, nuts, balls - into the corresponding orbits) for destruction; foil - to impede the work of strangers and protect their companions.

Try to imagine that people are using airspace no further than 000 km above the ground. in height, i.e. roughly speaking, a thin layer of air 15 km thick. with the circumference of the earth (15 thousand km.).

The Serbian military, in March 1999, managed to destroy the most "secret" aircraft of the US Air Force - the F-117A. The machine, worth 50 million dollars (and billions were spent on the development of "stealth technology"!), Was shot down by a Serbian anti-aircraft missile system with the brand "Made in USSR". American stealth aircraft were invisible only to their radars. Our radars detected them perfectly. But the Americans kept quiet about this, because they sold these "flying coffins" like stealth planes at immodest prices ...

[clidon]

Do not write nonsense - the F-117 made so many successful flights that one can only envy. Moreover, in the most dangerous conditions of use. And yes, except for the US Air Force, these secret machines were not supplied anywhere "at immodest prices" then.

The last B-52 was produced in 64. They are older than the oldest Russian "Bear". The Boeing failed to modernize their engines, the skeleton could not support their weight, plus only one cruise missile was included. I think all these bells and whistles will not save amers. Our air defense will draw them on approach.

[clidon]

In my opinion it’s no secret to anyone that they will shoot outside the air defense range. The machines are reliable, they fly themselves and fly and are going to fly until 2040.
