Recently, the U.S. and South Korea provoking peninsula, the official media to light 39 full dress Army's heavy equipment units should ominous Board. This does not, on October 8 and the exposure of state-run China Central Television is on the Korean Peninsula resident of Shenyang Military Region, 39, Army artillery brigade of Liaoyang new PLZ05 a slide show large-scale night combat capability Baoqun shock, it seems PLZ05 outsiders predicted to be advanced more, the effect of good night vision, shaking the whole exercise really can be said to shock the U.S. deter South Korea, I do not know devils dare not frivolous!

With the world's most advanced self-propelled artillery system compared to, PLZ-45 in automation, systematic and digital gaps have been small. Currently, the world's most advanced concept of self-propelled artillery in combat has been a clear trend, "Network Centric Warfare", wide introduction of data link, battlefield management systems, not only have an independent combat units, more as an operational network node, to accept other battlefield data obtained for various platforms, but also use its own sensors play a surveillance, reconnaissance and other effects, to provide data for other combat platforms. It is believed, PLZ 05 in the design phase of a great importance to information and digital, its capacity should be greatly improved.

PLZ a technical level of 05 self-propelled howitzers

Canada, "Han and Defense Review," said, PLZ 52 times the diameter of a 05,155 mm self-propelled howitzer in the 20th century and the mid-90s project. Since the Type 83 152 mm howitzer plus their own, the Chinese Army's main gun barrel pressed to have the standard 155 mm diameter. Then developed the PLZ of a 45,155 mm 45 caliber self-propelled howitzer system is mainly for export for export, but the PLA ground forces have a small amount of equipment. It is believed, PLZ 45 self-propelled howitzer of a level of technology and performance are quite good, in 1997, Kuwait has ordered a total of 54 export-type PLZ-45, and related support vehicles, equipment, three artillery battalions. In Kuwait, the military and measured assessment team of experts to the conclusions in, PLZ reliability of a 45 / performance / range / unit price is better than the competition - US-made M-109A6. PLZ a 45 off the first open in 1988, on behalf of the late 20th century, 80 in the highest technical level of the field artillery, after a lapse of 17 years, China has launched a new howitzer, the technology level and the performance certainly higher than the PLZ-45 self- howitzer system.

Ultra-long range

"Han and Defense Review," followed by an analysis to, PLZ 05 self-propelled howitzer with a 52 caliber barrel, which is obviously subject to European and American countries in recent years, "52 caliber revolutionary" effect. Currently, the major countries of NATO division-level artillery barrel are used to suppress the new 52 caliber. AS a 90-include the UK, Germany PzH-2000, France, AUF-2, etc., 52 caliber gun technology on behalf of the world's latest progress and development. China clearly does not want people in this area after drying. In fact, China has been standing in the gun manufacturing technology in the world. PLZ mainly for export to 45 self-propelled howitzer developed by China itself launched the bomb when the end of a range of up to 40 kilometers, while the bottom row of extended-range rocket projectile more staggering range of 50 kilometers, 45 times in the outstanding caliber gun barrel Even with many 52 caliber gun compares favorably. Therefore, using the new 52 caliber barrel PLZ 05 self-propelled howitzers in the range of a ballistic performance and should be better. It is believed, PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzer system, full-bore launch low-impedance end of the bomb (ERFB / BB) range of more than 50 km range rocket by the end of the range of the bomb up to 70 km.

Automatic filling technology

"Han and Defense Review," said, PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzer with a 19,152 mm Russian 2C automatic self-loading and deploy a technology. 2C-19 Russia's self-loading and deploy a higher degree of automation. Projectile shot by the automatic filling machine filling. Unique design of the projectile storage rack can be placed in a variety of different types of projectile storage bin. Loading control system can automatically launch from the storage rack need to search for Shells, shells can also be adjusted according to the number of requirements, and control the entire filling process. Make an active disk-loading guns in any direction and under the high and low angle shooting with the highest rate of fire, without the guns back to the loading position. Propellant by the semi-automatic filling, automatic empty cartridges out, thereby reducing levels of harmful gases, making loading easy hand operation and safe. It is worth mentioning that, 2C a rear right side of the turret 19, a projectile transfer device; the left side of a propellant charge transfer device, which reduces the projectile and propellant charge of filling time, and directly from the launch vehicle consumption of supplies and ammunition outside the car instead of ammunition. Gun battle in the non-state, the projectile delivery device folded and fixed on the turret. The propellant charge transfer device is folded inside the turret. The gun can be shot between the Firing and Zhimiao (including conditions and pollution in mountain environments Zhimiao shooting). As a result of the automatic loading system, 2C own a 19 also deploy a very high rate of fire, the maximum rate of fire of up to 8 rounds / min

"Han and Defense Review," said a 05 digital PLZ / information level is much higher than 2C for a 19, compared with 45 PLZ a higher level. PLZ before a 45-155mm self-propelled howitzer system already has a very high degree of digital. Have coordinated operations and autonomous operational capabilities to digital, automated command mode operations against the enemy, the digital sub-system consists of the following three components 1. Digital Fire system: PLZ a 45 155mm self-propelled guns and ammunition carriers composed of the main equipment location, directional navigation system, automatic operation aiming system, ballistic computer equipment, data transmission, and then radio, radar gun muzzle, charge temperature measurement device, barrel temperature alarm devices; 2. Digital Command System: by the camp command vehicles, command vehicles and even the weather radar. Two cars can substitute for each other, the use of universal command software, hardware preparation, very beneficial to the command-analog conversion, real-time command of the battlefield situation map for use primarily with GPS positioning system, the number of messenger radio, command information processing systems, business class capacity of three companies, and even the order of eight guns. Weather radar is to provide computer communications and ballistic meteorological weather briefing; number of reconnaissance and fire systems; by the reconnaissance vehicle, and school radar surveillance, reconnaissance and combat vehicle to provide reconnaissance information for the Baoqun to provide target coordinates of our projectile burst point and coordinates equipment triple detection system (thermal imager, CCD, laser rangefinder) data processing, directional systems, GPS positioning and radio broadcasts; surveillance radar is mainly used for the school to find and detect the coordinates of enemy artillery fire, measurement coordinates of our projectile burst point, with multi-target handling capacity, detection distance, fast response time, mainly with power, phased array radar systems, data processing systems, orientation systems, GPS positioning, radio and so on.

PLZ-45 has been systematically introduced the concept of the self-propelled howitzers, firing command vehicle, directional positioning systems (reconnaissance vehicles, surveillance radar, weather radar), ammunition carriers, engineering rescue vehicles, maintenance, monitoring and other parties to form a complete module combat systems, combat in close coordination in order to give full play to its combat effectiveness. Kuwait in l997 3 years to buy enough equipment PLZ artillery regiment of 45 self-propelled howitzers and supporting a vehicle, indicating a 45 PLZ systematic and overall combat capability has been recognized.
