IAI Harpy uav (IAI)
PLA acquired an unknown number of the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Harpy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in 1994. The deal was not revealed until late 2004, when Washington was reported to have pressured the Israeli government to ‘roll back’ its defence relations with China. According to the reports, the U.S. intelligence spotted the PLA deploying Harpy UAV in its joint exercise held near the Taiwan Strait in 2004.
在1994年P(guān)LA從以色列飛機(jī)工業(yè)有限公司(IAI)獲得未知數(shù)量的“哈比”(Harpy)無人機(jī)(UAV)。交易直到2004年后期前沒有被透露,華盛頓強(qiáng)迫以色列政府‘降低’它同中國的防務(wù)關(guān)系。依照報告,2004年美國情報發(fā)現(xiàn)了PLA在臺灣海峽附近聯(lián)合演習(xí)中部署“哈比”UAV。
The Harpy is a unique weapon system with features of both UAV and cruise missile. The system is designed to detect, attack and destroy enemy radar. Launched from ground vehicle or surface ship far away from the battle zone, the UAV flies autonomously to the patrol area. The UAV’s radar seeker constantly search for hostile radar signal. Once the enemy radar is detected, the system can automatically compare the signal with its database and prioritise the threat of the target. Once the enemy radar is verified, the UAV make a near vertical dive to the target and destroy it with its high explosive warhead. The warhead is set to detonate just above the target to maximise the damage. The smart UAV can also abort the attack and continue loitering if enemy radar signal disappears during the attack.
“哈比”是一種具有UAV和巡航導(dǎo)彈特征的一種獨(dú)特的武器系統(tǒng)。系統(tǒng)設(shè)計去發(fā)現(xiàn)、攻擊和摧毀敵人的雷達(dá)。從遠(yuǎn)離戰(zhàn)爭地域的地面車輛或水面艦艇上發(fā)射,UAV自主飛行到巡邏區(qū)域。UAV的雷達(dá)搜索頭通過搜索敵方雷達(dá)信號。敵人的雷達(dá)一但被發(fā)現(xiàn),系統(tǒng)能自動地把信號與它的數(shù)據(jù)庫比較并且優(yōu)先目標(biāo)的威脅。一但敵人的雷達(dá)被核實,UAV對目標(biāo)做出一個近乎垂直向下俯沖并用它的高爆彈頭破壞它。彈頭被設(shè)定正好在目標(biāo)上方來引爆來獲得損害最大值。如果敵人的雷達(dá)信號在攻擊期間消失,智能的UAV也能中止攻擊并盤旋。

The PLA has reportedly returned some of its Harpy UAV back to Israel in 2004 to be upgraded with new seekers that enable visual identification and attack of target even after the enemy radar emitter is turned off. This would further enhance the PLA’s capabilities in UAV and anti-radiation warfare. The PLA may also uses the Harpy technology to improve the performance of its own designs.
PLA在2004年已經(jīng)據(jù)傳聞送回一些它的“哈比”UAV給以色列,采用新的搜索頭去升級甚至能夠在敵人雷達(dá)發(fā)射器關(guān)閉之后視力辨認(rèn)和攻擊目標(biāo)。這會更進(jìn)一步提高PLA的UAV和反輻射戰(zhàn)能力。PLA也可能使用“哈比”技術(shù)改良它自己設(shè)計的性能。
