AC-130J Ghost Rider
US Air Force tam sim no muaj 13 lub dav hlau ua haujlwm AC-130J Thaiv 20/20+, uas yuav ua haujlwm rau xyoo tom ntej thawj zaug.
Thaum nruab nrab Lub Peb Hlis ntawm lub xyoo no tau coj cov ntaub ntawv tshiab txog kev txhim kho AC-130J Ghostrider hluav taws pab txhawb nqa dav hlau los ntawm Lockheed Martin, uas tsim cov tsheb tshiab ntawm chav kawm no hauv kev pabcuam nrog Asmeskas kev sib ntaus sib tua aviation. Nws thawj versions tsis nrov nrog cov neeg siv. Vim li no, kev ua haujlwm tau pib ntawm Block 30 variant, thawj daim ntawv luam uas tau xa hauv lub Peb Hlis mus rau 4th Special Operations Squadron nyob ntawm Hurlbert Field hauv Florida.
Thawj lub nkoj ua rog raws li Lockheed C-130 Hercules thauj dav hlau tau tsim hauv xyoo 1967, thaum cov tub rog Asmeskas tau koom nrog kev sib ntaus sib tua hauv Nyab Laj. Thaum lub sij hawm ntawd, 18 C-130As tau rov ua dua tshiab rau cov qauv hluav taws xob hluav taws xob ze ze, rov tsim dua AC-130A, thiab xaus lawv txoj haujlwm hauv xyoo 1991. Kev txhim kho hauv cov qauv tsim tau txhais tau tias xyoo 1970 ua haujlwm rau nws cov tiam thib ob tau pib ntawm lub hauv paus S- 130 E. Kev nce hauv kev them nyiaj tau siv los ua kom haum cov phom loj loj, suav nrog M105 102mm howitzer. Nyob rau hauv tag nrho, 130 lub dav hlau tau rov ua dua rau hauv AC-11E variant, thiab nyob rau hauv lub thib ob ib nrab ntawm lub 70s lawv tau hloov dua siab tshiab rau hauv AC-130N variant. Qhov txawv yog vim kev siv lub zog ntau dua T56-A-15 xyaw nrog lub zog ntawm 3315 kW / 4508 hp. Nyob rau hauv lub xyoo tom ntej, lub peev xwm ntawm cov cav tov tau nce ntxiv, lub sij hawm no vim muaj peev xwm nyob rau hauv-flight refueling siv ib tug nyuaj txuas, thiab cov khoom siv hluav taws xob kuj tau upgraded. Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, cov khoos phis tawj tswj hluav taws tshiab, kev soj ntsuam hluav taws xob thiab lub hom phiaj lub taub hau, satellite navigation system, kev sib txuas lus tshiab, kev ua tsov rog hluav taws xob thiab kev tiv thaiv tus kheej tau tshwm sim hauv cov nkoj. AC-130H tau koom nrog hauv kev sib ntaus sib tua hauv ntau qhov chaw ntawm lub ntiaj teb. Lawv tau ua kev cai raus dej rau Nyab Laj, thiab tom qab ntawd lawv txoj kev sib ntaus sib tua suav nrog, ntawm lwm yam, kev tsov rog hauv Persian Gulf thiab Iraq, kev tsis sib haum xeeb hauv Balkans, kev sib ntaus sib tua hauv Liberia thiab Somalia, thiab thaum kawg tsov rog hauv Afghanistan. Thaum lub sijhawm ua haujlwm, peb lub tsheb tau ploj lawm, thiab kev tshem tawm ntawm qhov seem ntawm kev sib ntaus sib tua pib hauv 2014.
Thawj AC-130J Block 30 tom qab kev hloov pauv ntawm US Air Force, lub tsheb tau tos txog li ib xyoos ntawm kev sim ua haujlwm, uas yuav tsum tau qhia txog kev txhim kho kev muaj peev xwm thiab kev ntseeg siab piv rau cov laus dua.
Txoj kev mus rau AC-130J
Nyob rau hauv lub thib ob ib nrab ntawm lub 80s, cov neeg Amelikas pib hloov cov qub warships nrog tshiab. Ua ntej AC-130A raug rho tawm, tom qab ntawd AC-130U. Cov no yog cov tsheb rov tsim dua los ntawm S-130N tsheb thauj khoom, thiab lawv cov khoom xa tuaj pib xyoo 1990. Piv nrog rau AC-130N, lawv cov khoom siv hluav taws xob tau hloov kho dua tshiab. Ob qhov kev soj ntsuam tau ntxiv thiab cov cuab yeej ceramic tau nruab rau ntawm qhov chaw tseem ceeb hauv cov qauv. Raws li ib feem ntawm kev muaj peev xwm tiv thaiv tus kheej, txhua lub dav hlau tau txais ntau tus naj npawb ntawm AN / ALE-47 pom lub hom phiaj launchers (nrog 300 dipoles los cuam tshuam radar chaw nres tsheb thiab 180 flares rau lov tes taw infrared homing missile hau), uas cuam tshuam nrog AN kev taw qhia. infrared jamming system / AAQ-24 DIRCM (Directional Infrared Countermeasure) thiab anti-aircraft missile ceeb toom li AN / AAR-44 (tom qab AN / AAR-47). Tsis tas li ntawd, AN / ALQ-172 thiab AN / ALQ-196 hluav taws xob ua tsov rog tau raug teeb tsa los tsim kev cuam tshuam thiab AN / AAQ-117 lub taub hau soj ntsuam. Standard armament suav nrog 25mm General Dynamics GAU-12 / U Equalizer propulsion cannon (hloov 20mm M61 Vulcan khub tshem tawm ntawm AC-130H), 40mm Bofors L / 60 cannon, thiab 105mm M102 cannon. howitzer. Kev tswj hluav taws kub tau muab los ntawm AN / AAQ-117 optoelectronic lub taub hau thiab AN / APQ-180 radar chaw nres tsheb. Lub dav hlau nkag mus rau hauv thawj ib nrab ntawm xyoo 90, lawv cov kev sib ntaus sib tua pib nrog kev txhawb nqa ntawm cov tub rog thoob ntiaj teb hauv Balkans, thiab tom qab ntawd koom nrog kev ua phem hauv Iraq thiab Afghanistan.
Kev sib ntaus sib tua nyob rau hauv Afghanistan thiab Iraq twb nyob rau hauv lub xyoo pua 130st coj mus rau lub creation ntawm lwm version ntawm Hercules tawm tsam kab. Qhov kev xav tau no tau tshwm sim, ntawm ib sab, los ntawm kev txhim kho kev lag luam, thiab ntawm qhov tod tes, los ntawm kev nrawm nrawm ntawm kev hloov pauv qub thaum muaj kev sib ntaus sib tua, nrog rau cov kev xav tau ua haujlwm. Raws li qhov tshwm sim, USMC thiab USAF tau yuav pob khoom siv hluav taws xob hloov pauv rau KC-130J Hercules (Harvest Hawk program) thiab MC-130W Dragon Spear (Precision Strike Package program) - tom qab ntawd tau hloov lub npe AC-30W Stinger II. Ob leeg ua rau nws muaj peev xwm rov kho tsheb thauj mus los sai sai uas siv los txhawb nqa hauv av nrog cov cuaj luaj hauv av thiab 23 hli GAU-44 / A cannons (ib qho huab cua version ntawm Mk105 Bushmaster II propulsion unit) thiab 102 hli M130 howitzers (rau AC-130W). Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, kev ua haujlwm kev paub dhau los ua kom muaj txiaj ntsig zoo uas nws tau los ua lub hauv paus rau kev tsim kho thiab kev loj hlob ntawm tus phab ej ntawm tsab xov xwm no, i.e. Tom ntej no versions ntawm AC-XNUMXJ Ghostrider.
Nadlatuje AC-130J Dab Rider
Qhov kev pab cuam AC-130J Ghostrider yog qhov tshwm sim ntawm kev xav tau kev ua haujlwm thiab kev hloov pauv hauv Asmeskas cov dav hlau. Cov tshuab tshiab tau xav tau los hloov lub dav hlau AC-130N thiab AC-130U, nrog rau kev tuav lub peev xwm ntawm KS-130J thiab AC-130W. Txij thaum pib, tus nqi txo (thiab siab heev, kwv yees li $ 120 lab ib qho piv txwv, raws li 2013 cov ntaub ntawv) tau xav tias vim yog siv MC-130J Commando II version ua lub hauv paus tshuab. Raws li qhov tshwm sim, lub dav hlau tau muaj lub Hoobkas txhawb nqa airframe tsim thiab tam sim ntawd tau txais qee yam khoom siv ntxiv (xws li kev soj ntsuam xyuas hluav taws xob thiab kev taw qhia lub taub hau). Tus qauv tau muab los ntawm cov chaw tsim khoom thiab rov tsim kho ntawm Eglin Air Force Base hauv Florida. Lwm lub tsheb tau hloov dua siab tshiab ntawm Lockheed Martin's Crestview cog nyob rau tib lub sijhawm. Nws siv sijhawm ib xyoos los ua kom tiav cov qauv AC-130J, thiab nyob rau hauv rooj plaub ntawm kev teeb tsa serial, lub sijhawm no yuav tsum raug txwv rau cuaj lub hlis.
