Chapter 1018 The second generation battlefield sweeper micro-unmanned attack aircraft
[Modified Version] After explaining the work, Wu Hao's main purpose of coming to the Northwest Research Center this time was to complete it. However, his work here was far from being completed, and there were still many things waiting for him.
The Institute of Aeronautical Technology and UAV is the earliest scientific research team, laboratory, and research institute established by Haoyu Technology. It can be said that Wu Hao and Zhang Jun both came out of this scientific research team.
Therefore, this research institute is also the most important and core key research institute in the company, with a high status.
Their research direction is in aviation technology, drones, and cluster array control technology.
The company's previous series of drone products came from this research institute, including the previous "Fuzi" large intelligent attack drone.
The institute itself is located in Anxi, but there are some projects in Anxi that cannot be tested or carried out. So it is put here, Pirufu enforces intelligent attack drones.
One of Wu Hao's purpose this time was to come here to inspect the progress of related research projects.
Zhou Yonghui, the head of the research institute, was received by Wu Hao, who was very familiar but relatively rare.
This is the old man in the company, and he grew up with Wu Hao and the others all the way. So they were not polite when they met. After a few greetings, they immediately got to the point.
"How is the Fuying Intelligent Attack UAV going?" Wu Hao asked directly.
Zhou Yonghui nodded and said, "The progress is good. The Air Force likes it very much. It has been urged several times, so we have accelerated the progress. It is expected that as early as the summer, we can deliver several prototypes to the Air Force and put them into trial.
In addition, the Navy is also very interested in this drone and has sent people to contact us. However, the mission purpose and use environment of the Navy are very different from that of the Air Force, so it is necessary to make a greater degree of adaptability improvement and optimization.
In addition, the Navy also hopes that our Fujian intelligent attack drone can take off and land aircraft carriers or even amphibious assault ships independently.”
Wu Hao laughed and cried when he heard this: "They thought it was a helicopter and took off and landed an amphibious assault ship. What do they think?
Even for an aircraft carrier, it is rare to achieve complete independent take-off and landing, which requires the perfect cooperation of the aircraft carrier take-off and landing facilities and the aircraft.
Not only does it need to improve drones, but it also needs to improve the entire take-off and landing command and control system of the aircraft carrier."
"I told them the same way, but this time the navy is very determined, and it was directly led by the general." Zhou Yonghui said with a wry smile.
Wu Hao had no choice but to hear this, and then nodded helplessly and said, "Let the project team communicate with them, we can cooperate with them with all our strength. It's okay to say that the aircraft carrier is not something we can play with."
"You are right, that's what I told them." Zhou Yonghui nodded.
That's good. Wu Hao sighed and asked at him: "I heard that the second-generation battlefield sweeper micro-Unmanned Attack Aircraft Project is progressing well and has been put into the experimental testing stage."
"That's right, that's it." Zhou Yonghui immediately made a gesture of invitation: "Please, please, we have conducted several tests in the testing ground of the base and achieved good results. We are all ready to go when you are here today."
"Oh, is that so, I'll wait and see." Wu Hao smiled when he heard this. Sure enough, the old man was still caring.
The test field of the base is right next to the base and is not too far away. It covers a relatively large area, located in the sand between three sand dunes, with an area of about seven or eight football fields.
It looks quite large, but deep in the vast desert next to this vast desert, this area is nothing at all.
In fact, they have a larger shooting range, but they are still a bit far from the base.
The weather in the test site in the afternoon was still relatively warm, and the wind became lighter. After a while, it was still slightly hot.
With sunglasses, Wu Hao and the others came to the test site. On a high platform poured with concrete in front of the test site, there were several tables on which were placed.
Zhou Yonghui held something about 40 mm thick and 200 mm long, which is four cm thick and 20 cm long, and similar to a missile-like shape, and said to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, this is the second-generation battlefield sweeper micro-unmanned attack aircraft we have developed."
"So small?" Wu Hao looked at the things held in Zhou Yonghui's hand and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Zhou Yonghui smiled and said: "In fact, we can do it smaller, but considering the range, flight time, and the weight of ammunition carrying, etc., it is now made with the current 40mm caliber and 200mm length similar to the shape of a missile."
"40 mm thick, this caliber seems to be consistent with the caliber of the grenade launcher we often use." Wu Hao asked with a smile.
"Hahahaha, I know I can't hide it from you. That's right, it's the caliber of our grenade launcher. The reason why it is designed like this is mainly to facilitate soldiers to launch through gun-mounted grenade launchers or special grenade launchers during their daily use."
"This design is good, taking into account the convenience and versatility of the troops' use." Wu Hao praised with a smile.
Zhou Yonghui smiled and nodded: "At the beginning of R&D, we carefully visited the grassroots troops using our first generation battlefield sweeper micro-Unmanned attack aircraft, and collected a lot of good suggestions and opinions on the first generation battlefield sweeper micro-Unmanned attack aircraft from grassroots officers and soldiers."
The most common problem of portability is the problem. The officers and soldiers generally reported that although this thing is very good and practical, it is very inconvenient to carry and is too easy to occupy a lot of volume. I hope we can carry it all.
After combining so many opinions, our own research results, and after repeated trial and error, we chose this kind of intelligent unmanned attack aircraft that uses a launchable method."
"It's very good, and its range, air stagnation time, and power have been reduced?" Wu Hao asked a question he was more concerned about.
Zhou Yonghui smiled and shook his head: "No, it has not decreased, but has increased relatively, and we have also improved on this basis.
This aspect still requires help from the troops and military systems, which has solved many of our problems.
Of course, it also depends on the improvement of our own battery technology, which allows us to still gain abundant power when using smaller batteries.
Therefore, the air stagnation time has been greatly improved, and the air autonomous cruise attack function of the UAV has also been added.
After the unmanned attack aircraft is launched, it will fly to the target airspace for hovering, search and identify local ground targets. When the detection discovers the target, it will automatically lock and send the target data information to the command and control personnel at the same time.
After the command and control personnel issue an attack order, the unmanned attack aircraft will immediately plan the attack route and conduct an independent attack.
