科索沃战争中的一天,北约最高指挥官克拉克将军视察位于意大利维琴查的北约联合空中作战中心。当他坐在作战指挥控制系统的显示屏前时,偶然发现:“捕食者”无人机传送回敌方直升机的情报,E-8“联合星”飞机却没有探测到,而正在同一地区执行任务的一种法军直升机载侦察系统竟然也出人意料地探测和跟踪到这一情况。于是,认为自家的武器装备天下第一的美国将军记住了法军这种雷达侦察直升机的名字——“地平线”,这种可以看到天际尽头的远程雷达侦察系统也由此扬名。 One day in the Kosovo war, General Clarke, NATO top commander, inspected the NATO Joint Air Operations Center in Vicenza, Italy. When he was sitting in front of the operational command and control system display, he accidentally discovered that “Predator” drones were sending intelligence back to enemy helicopters and that the E-8 “U-Star” aircraft was not detected but was operating in the same area A French helicopter payload reconnaissance mission of the mission unexpectedly detected and tracked the situation. As a result, the U.S. general who believed that his own weaponry was the best in the world remembered the name of the French military reconnaissance helicopter - the “horizon,” so famous for its long-range radar reconnaissance system that can see the end of the sky.
