Summary

Machine summary

An unidentified PLA Air Force unit has modified its existing weather radar to simulate early-warning radar signal characteristics, enabling on-base electromagnetic confrontation training without procuring dedicated equipment or coordinating with other units—a solution the unit frames under the concept 一装两用、就地练兵 ('one system, two uses, train in place'). The article documents a specific readiness gap: the unit previously lacked equipment to generate realistic electromagnetic environments, forcing reliance on simulated signals that produced single-characteristic, distorted battlefield conditions and limiting adversarial training to infrequent joint deployments. The framing points to a broader institutional pressure to achieve 实战化 (real-combat-oriented) training standards at the unit level using organic resources, though the article does not identify the unit, its aircraft type, or the geographic location of the radar station.

空军某部挖掘气象雷达潜能深化对抗训练—— ■解放军报特约记者王鑫伟日前，空军某部展开一场对抗训练。空中，数架战机穿过云层，悄然突进；地面，雷达天线飞旋，持续捕捉目标信号。机舱内，告警声此起彼伏。张飞行员紧盯显示屏，不断调整战机姿态，努力将雷达反射面积降至最低，捕捉最佳突破窗口。 “这次训练中，模拟蓝方警戒雷达与战机展开电磁对抗的，其实是我们的气象雷达。”塔台内，该部一名作训参谋向记者介绍。气象雷达是专司观云测雨的雷达装备，何以担起电磁对抗练兵任务？谈及这一转变，这名作训参谋给记者讲起一段往事。往年开展对抗训练，由于缺乏相应装备，他们难以构设逼真电磁环境，训练场景多以模拟信号为主，不同程度存在信号特征单一、战场环境失真等问题。不仅如此，外出驻训时，他们虽能携手兄弟部队开展对抗训练，但受驻训周期等因素制约，对抗训练机会不多，且难以常态化开展。 “缺乏真实电磁环境下的实战化历练，不利于提升飞行员对电磁信号的感知、处置能力。”该部领导回忆，一次实战化演训中，一名年轻飞行员由于对电磁信号特征感知不敏锐、处置滞后，导致位置暴露、任务失利。 “实战化训练不能总在模拟信号里打转转，必须想方设法为对抗训练构设逼真电磁环境。”议战议训会上，该部领导提出设想：“气象雷达与警戒雷达同属雷达装备，工作原理相近，能否挖掘现有装备潜能，走开‘一装两用、就地练兵’路子？” 经过研究，该部遴选气象、飞行、电抗等专业骨干组成攻关小组。通过比对信号参数、调试运行模式，攻关小组成功制订出一套气象雷达探测模式改造方案。记者在该部气象雷达站看到，改造后的气象雷达完整保留原有气象测报功能，日常担负空域气象保障任务；进入训练时段，只需切换探测模式，气象雷达便能模拟警戒雷达信号特征，连续稳定构设电磁探测环境。“无需额外添置专用器材、开辟专门训练场地，现有装备资源实现了最大化利用。”该部领导说，截至目前，他们已利用气象雷达组织多场实战化对抗训练，飞行员对电磁信号的处置能力有效提升。 “依托气象雷达常态化构设逼真电磁环境，我们训练中随时能跟真实电磁信号过招，特征摸得更透、动作练得更熟，应急处置反应速度更快。”首轮对抗训练结束，张飞行员告诉记者，前不久，他们赴陌生空域执行大项演训任务，面对复杂天候与强电磁干扰双重考验，任务飞行员从容应对，圆满完成既定任务。暮色渐沉，训练正酣。云端之上，战机时而急速俯冲，时而隐蔽飞行；地面阵地上，气象雷达如同警惕的哨兵，一边时刻关注空域风云变幻，一边为空中战鹰设电磁考题……
