Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 825 Military Vehicle Performance

The five-point agreement has been placed in front of General Ian Wright, after reporting to Defense Secretary Casper Weinberg. After getting an affirmative reply from the other party, everyone knew that the military had to put forward specific performance requirements for military vehicles.

General Ian Wright said seriously: "Currently there are only five companies that are eligible for the Ministry of Defense's military vehicle bidding. Next, I will put forward the Department of Defense's performance and price requirements for military vehicles. If any company feels that it cannot do it, it can withdraw from the bidding. ,"

"The Ministry of National Defense divides vehicles into five major categories based on their usage requirements."

"The first category is ordinary personnel transport vehicles, which can carry at least one standard five-person combat team and a full set of equipment. The climbing degree is 60 degrees; the roll degree: 40 degrees; the break-through angle: 25 degrees; the approach angle: 48 degrees; departure Angle: 38 degrees' Wading depth: 762mm/30inches; Body length: 5000mm / 16.17 feet; Body width: 2184 mm / 7.17 feet; Body height: 1930 mm / 6.33 feet; Wheelbase: 3302 mm / 10.83 feet; Headroom : 508 mm / 20 inches; Vehicle weight: 3,493 kg / 7,700 lbs*; Engine: 6.2 V8; Gasoline power: 430 horsepower at 5900 RPM1. The aviation aluminum alloy body is heat treated and can withstand 12.7mm bullets Direct attack."

"The maximum speed on the highway is not less than 120 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed in the field is not less than 60 kilometers per hour; even if the tires are flat, it can travel more than 100 kilometers at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, and the maximum cruising range is at least 350 kilometers with a full tank of fuel."

"Of course this is just the minimum requirement, and the service life must be more than 12 years. We will make a final evaluation based on the data, on-site inspections and prices provided by major manufacturers."

General Motors CEO Mike Donald was extremely happy to hear this. This is the data based on the Hummer model. It can be said that every new Hummer vehicle meets the requirements.

The Ministry of National Defense is indeed very capable, and it seems that the public relations expenses are really not wasted.

According to this data, General Motors does not need to continue research and development at all. It can be mass-produced directly, which can be said to have taken the lead.

Seeing that no one said anything, Ian Wright continued: "The second category of military vehicles is combat communication and command vehicles."

"The communication command vehicle must first have the communication support function. The basic function of the communication command vehicle is to ensure the smooth progress of communication work. It must do a good job of sending and receiving information, and transmit battlefield information to the general command center through voice, pictures, videos, etc. , In addition, we must also accept information from the command center to help better respond to battlefield command work."

"The communication function is the most important function of the communication command vehicle. On the one hand, it must accurately record the situation on site, and on the other hand, it must ensure the accuracy and safety of this information, and ensure that the information sent and received is not destroyed or interfered with. Communication command The vehicle has very advanced equipment, such as radio systems, satellite communication systems, etc., which are all necessary tools to ensure smooth communication. Only advanced equipment can ensure the realization of communication functions."

"At the same time, another major function of the communication command vehicle is command. The vehicle has independent conference rooms, command rooms and other areas to provide guarantee for giving full play to the command role of the vehicle."

"In addition, as a professional vehicle, the communication command vehicle must have the basic transportation function of the vehicle. On this basis, it must also have good stability and adaptability, and must be able to cope with complex battlefield environments and adapt to different road conditions. . The safety of the vehicle must also be guaranteed, and it must have good performance in terms of shock absorption, earthquake resistance, and stability, so as to provide a stable working platform for communication and command."

"The specific parameters will be issued in a document format. The Ministry of National Defense has strict requirements for future universal command vehicles."

It is simply tailor-made for Ford. Ford itself has the best chassis platform. With only a few improvements, it could meet the requirements for military use; this made Henry Ford II ecstatic.

Although the communication command vehicle is not a big purchaser, the profit is very considerable. As long as you can get orders, you can definitely make a lot of money; and you can also accumulate experience in this area. In modern society, the war situation has changed greatly. Military command vehicles are absolutely indispensable; not only the United States, but other countries also need them. This has broad market prospects.

Ian Wright continued: "The third category is tactical assault vehicles, which are mainly distributed to special forces."

"The tactical assault vehicle must be able to carry 2 to 4 soldiers and at least 1 general-purpose machine gun. It uses a special suspension device to facilitate high-speed off-road driving. It has a low profile to reduce target characteristics and improve the vehicle's survivability."

"The specific performance and requirements of tactical assault vehicles will also be issued to you in the form of documents."

Chrysler has an absolute advantage in this regard. After all, the tactical assault vehicle evolved from the dune buggy situation. When it comes to dune buggies, Chrysler has yet to fear anyone.

Ian Wright continued: "The fourth category is military trucks. Heavy trucks must be able to carry more than 16 tons of cargo, have independent suspension, install a central tire inflation and deflation system, and use permanently lubricated parts. Use independent suspension At that time, the travel design standard of the upper spring of the vehicle was doubled, making the passengers and cargo more stable, the traction and ground clearance were also increased, and the wading depth was increased from 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters. The central tire is inflated and deflated. The system allows the driver to optimize vehicle performance in any condition.”

"The specific requirements will be issued in the form of a document, and you can refer to it in detail."

Hearing the performance requirements, the CEO of Mark Company almost jumped for joy; isn't this the latest military truck developed by Mark Company! It seems that the Ministry of National Defense is still targeting its own people, which is equivalent to giving orders directly to them.

Production can begin the next day after receiving the order. After all, the previous production line upgrade has been completed, so there is no need to waste any time.

Ian Wright ignored everyone's gaze and continued: "The fifth category is the missile launch vehicle."

Everyone had expressions of disbelief when they heard this. After all, that thing was a strategic-level vehicle. It was actually put out for public bidding. What is going on?

Missile launch vehicles refer to special vehicles with the function of launching missiles. According to the type of loaded missiles, they can be divided into ground-to-surface, surface-to-air, shore-to-ship, and aviation missile launch vehicles. Its main function is to carry the missile into the specified launch point, complete the deployment from driving state to launch state, conduct pre-launch inspection and information setting of the missile, and implement missile launch timing according to instructions. A missile launch vehicle generally consists of a chassis car, a launch control cabin, a hydraulic system, a launcher, a launch box (rice launcher), missile launch control equipment, launch vehicle measurement and control equipment, power supply and distribution equipment, communication equipment, positioning and orientation equipment, etc. composition.

The main indicators to measure the performance of missile launch vehicles include mobility, power performance, launch performance, environmental adaptability, concealment, reliability, maintainability, safety, human-machine system engineering, etc.

Bao Zixuan also found it incredible. After all, historically, American missile launch vehicles were produced by specific companies and there was never any bidding process. You must know that he is also here, what does the US military mean, and how can the great weapon of the country be easily known to outsiders.

In fact, it’s not just the U.S. military, but other countries as well. The missile launch vehicle is definitely the country's top secret and can only be produced by the most core companies; that is common sense. There must be something unknown here, and the U.S. military would never make such a low-level mistake.

Ian Wright: "There are also other auxiliary vehicles, and the Ministry of National Defense still distributes them to major enterprises in the form of documents."

"Military industry experts will discuss with you the specific details and precautions later."

"The Ministry of National Defense hopes to see a prototype vehicle within a month. It can be said that the time is tight and the task is heavy. I hope everyone can understand; after all, the Soviets will not give us too much time."

Hearing this, Mr. Bao finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he was the one accompanying Biao. What can be done in a month, if there is no ready-made prototype car. It may be difficult to complete even the design drawings. It seems to be premeditated.

The Ministry of National Defense has already had corresponding plans, and yet it comes to join in the fun. Isn't this stupid! However, it relies on the memories of past lives and the powerful processing capabilities of the Heiyun Group. It is destined to disappoint the US military and will definitely surprise everyone when the time comes.

Even if they have the strength, they can only take a look at the communication command vehicle and missile launcher vehicle. Even if the performance of the vehicles designed by Heiyun is excellent, it is impossible for the US military to purchase them from Heiyun Automobile. It has nothing to do with technical performance, but more to do with concerns about the risk of leaks.

Several other companies had no complaints about the one-month time limit. They will even be grateful to the Ministry of Defense, which is deliberately trying to exclude Black Cloud Auto. The four car companies have been preparing for several years. It is estimated that only Bao Zixuan's Heiyun Automobile has a black eye!
