舰载空中加油机任务使命与发展趋势分析

Analysis of Mission and Development Trend on Carrier-Based air Refueling Tanker

舰载空中加油机除了具备陆基空中加油机增大飞机航程和作战半径的基本特点外,还有能够延长海上执勤留空时间,提供海上及时救援等特殊任务使命。通过对目前国外舰载空中加油机的作战使用和发展趋势的分析,明确了未来舰载加油机将进一步提高加油能力、空中自卫能力、提高自动化程度,并继续发展伙伴加油机。根据舰载空中加油机的平台选择及改装发展特点,提出了今后我国同类机型将向中、小型加油机和伙伴加油机发展的方向。

Carrier-based air refueling tanker not only can increase the range and combat radius of receiver aircraft which are same as land-based air refueling tankers,but also can accomplish the special missions such as extending duty time and providing timely sea rescue. By analyzing the combat missions and the development trend of foreign carrier-based tanker,this paper specifies that future carrier-based tanker＇s capabilities such as refueling,air defense and automation will be further improved and partner tanker will be developed. According to the platform selection and modification of the carrier-based tanker,this paper points out that the small-and medium-sized tanker and partner tanker will be the development trend in our country.
