CTOnews.com March 6 news, China Electronic Science and Technology Group (China Telecom) issued an obituary this evening. China's famous radar expert, pioneer and founder of early warning aircraft, winner of the highest national science and technology award, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, senior expert directly contacted by the central government, former director of the 38th Research Institute of the Ministry of Electronic Industry, former director of the military Industry Bureau of China Electronics Industry Corporation. Comrade Wang Xiaomo, former vice president of the Electronic Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Information Industry, former deputy director of the Electronic Science and Technology Commission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and former deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee of China Electronic Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., died in Beijing at 14:06 on March 6, 2023 at the age of 84.

CTOnews.com excerpt Wang Xiaomu's life is as follows:

In 1956, Wang Xiaomo was admitted to the Department of Radio Engineering of Beijing Institute of Technology (now Beijing Institute of Technology). In 1961, Wang Xiaomo's graduation project with Yagi antenna as the main research content won the first prize of graduation design of Beijing Institute of Technology; in the same year, he was assigned to the 14th Research Institute of the 10th Research Institute of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing.

During the period of 14 institutes, Wang Xiaomo worked in the general room, participated in the development of 408 radar, served as the deputy leader of the professional group of 583 three-coordinate radar, and participated in the feasibility study and preliminary engineering design of 583 radar in China.

At the end of December 1969, Wang Xiaomo was appointed temporary head of 38 general offices. In 1972, Wang Xiaomo was appointed chief designer of 383, the first three-coordinate radar made in China. After 13 years of sharpening the sword, Wang Xiaomo overcame the unfavorable conditions of being located in the "third line", scientific research conditions and living conditions, and completed the design in April 1984. The successful development of 383 radar not only fills the gap in the equipment of domestic three-coordinate radar, but also makes three-coordinate radar become a new field of radar design and development in our country, but also to realize the transformation of our land air defense network from general guidance to accurate guidance. Made a great contribution. In 1985, the 383 radar project won the first prize of national science and technology progress.

In February 1992, Wang Xiaomo was appointed director of the military Industry Bureau of the China National Electronics Industry Corp. at the age of 54, Wang Xiaomo opened the way for the demonstration and development of early warning aircraft equipment, and promoted the leap of China's territorial air defense network from the ground to the air. it has also promoted the realization of a major transformation of our country from territorial air defense to both attack and defense.

In 1992, China officially launched cooperative research and development with advanced foreign countries; in June 1993, Wang Xiaomo was transferred to executive vice president of the Electronic Science Research Institute and served as the head of the Chinese side. In the process of development, Wang Xiaomo creatively put forward a new early warning aircraft scheme of knapsack, large disc and three-sided active phased array radar, and at the same time rejected public opinions and persisted in arranging domestic matching development synchronously. as a result, our country has mastered the major key technologies such as phased array radar transceiver components, large radome and system software in a relatively short time, thus taking the initiative in the development of early warning aircraft in its own hands.

After the successful establishment of the two types of early warning aircraft, Wang Xiaomo put forward the idea of developing export-type early warning aircraft, and from January 2002, he began to demonstrate the scheme of export-type early warning aircraft, and served as the chief designer. In 2008, China formally signed the development contract of ZDK03 early warning aircraft with foreign users. The successful development of export-type early warning aircraft provides an important technical basis for China's early warning aircraft to realize the leap of "small platform, big early warning" based on domestic aircraft platform, and also marks that China has become the fourth country in the world that can export early warning aircraft.

Academician Wang Xiaomo successfully presided over the development of China's first automated three-coordinate radar, successfully developed China's first low-altitude radar with both medium and low altitude, systematically planned and promoted the development of early warning aircraft in China, and designed and put forward the technical development roadmap and equipment development system of early warning aircraft in our country. It has made an irreplaceable important contribution to the development of China's early warning aircraft to thoroughly break the international blockade, achieve completely independent development, catch up with and surpass the international advanced level, and erect immortal monuments for the development of China's radar and early warning aircraft equipment.

China Electric Science said that Academician Wang Xiaomo's life was a life of loving the motherland and pursuing truth, a life of hard struggle to promote China's air defense radar to an advanced international level, and a life of unremitting struggle to establish and improve China's early warning aircraft equipment system. The death of Academician Wang Xiaomo is not only a huge loss of China's military electronics and national defense front, but also a huge loss of China's space-based information weapons and equipment construction!
