Military Technology

After explaining the work, Wu Hao's main purpose of coming to the Northwest Research Center this time can be regarded as completed. But his work here is far from finished, there are still many things waiting for him. Aviation Technology and UAV Research Institute is the earliest scientific research team, laboratory and research institute established by Haoyu Technology. It can be said that both Wu Hao and Zhang Jun came out of this scientific research team.

Therefore, this research institute is also one of the most important and core key research institutes in the company.

Their research direction is in aviation technology, unmanned aerial vehicles, and swarm array control technology.

A series of UAV products of the previous company all came from this research institute, including the previous large-scale intelligent attack UAV of "凫徯".

The research institute itself is located in Anxi, but there are some projects that Anxi can't experiment with or carry out, so it's put here, such as smart attack drones.

And one of the purposes of Wu Hao's coming here this time is to come here to inspect the progress of related research projects.

The person who came to receive him this time was Zhou Yonghui, the director of the research institute that Wu Hao was very familiar with but was relatively rare.

This is the old man of the company, and he also grew up with Wu Hao and the others. So the two of them were not polite when they met, exchanged a few pleasantries and then got into work.

How is the smart attack drone going, Wu Hao asked directly.

Zhou Yonghui nodded and said: "The progress is good. The Air Force likes it very much. It has urged us several times to speed up the progress. It is expected that we will be able to deliver several prototypes to the Air Force for trial use as soon as summer.

In addition, the navy is also very interested in this drone, and has already sent people to contact us. It's just that the Navy's mission and use environment are very different from those of the Air Force, so a greater degree of adaptive improvement and optimization is required.

In addition, the Navy also hopes that our smart attack UAV can take off and land aircraft carriers or even amphibious assault ships autonomously. "

Wu Hao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words: "They thought it was a helicopter, and they also took off and landed an amphibious assault ship, what did it look like.

Even if it is an aircraft carrier, it is rare and very high to achieve completely autonomous take-off and landing. This requires the perfect cooperation between the aircraft carrier's take-off and landing facilities and the aircraft.

Not only do drones need to be improved, but the entire take-off and landing command and control system of the aircraft carrier needs to be improved. "

That's what I told them too, but this time the navy is very determined, and the general led the team directly. Zhou Yonghui smiled wryly.

Hearing this, Wu Hao couldn't make a difference, and then nodded helplessly: "Let the project team communicate with them, we just need to cooperate fully.

In terms of drones, it’s okay to say that the aircraft carrier is not something we can play with. "

You're right, that's what I told them too. Zhou Yonghui nodded.

That's good. Wu Hao sighed, and then asked him: "I heard that the project of the second-generation battlefield sweeper micro-unmanned attack aircraft is progressing very well, and it has already entered the stage of experimental testing."

That's right, it is. Zhou Yonghui immediately made a gesture of invitation: "Please, please, we have conducted several tests in the test field of the base and achieved good results. We know that you are coming today, we are all ready."

Oh yeah, then I'll just have to wait and see. Wu Hao smiled when he heard the words. Sure enough, the old man is still caring.

The test field of the base is just beside the base, not too far away, and it covers a relatively large area. It is located in the sand between three sand dunes, and the area is about seven or eight times the size of a football field.

It seems to be quite large, but in the depths of this vast desert, this area is nothing at all.

In fact, they have a bigger shooting range, but it's still some distance from the base.

The weather at the testing site in the afternoon is still relatively warm, and the wind has also eased. After a while in the sun, it is still slightly hot.

Wearing sunglasses, Wu Hao and the others came to the test field. In front of the test field, on a high platform made of concrete, there are several tables with various equipment placed on them.

Zhou Yonghui held something about 40mm thick and 200mm long, that is, 4cm thick and 20cm long, similar to a missile, and said to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, this is the second-generation missile we developed. Battlefield Sweeper Miniature Unmanned Attack Aircraft.”

so small? Wu Hao looked at the things Zhou Yonghui held in his hands, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zhou Yonghui said with a smile: "In fact, we can make it smaller, but considering the range, flight time, and the weight of the ammunition carried, we made the current 40mm caliber and 200mm long similar to a missile. shape."

40 mm thick, this caliber seems to be consistent with the caliber of our commonly used grenade launchers. Wu Hao asked with a smile.

Hahahaha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. So, it is the same caliber as our grenade launcher. The reason why it is designed in this way is mainly to facilitate soldiers to launch it through a grenade launcher on the gun or a special grenade launcher during daily use.

This design is good, taking into account the convenience and versatility of the troops. Wu Hao praised with a smile.

Zhou Yonghui nodded with a smile: "That's right, at the beginning of the research and development, we carefully visited the grassroots units that used our first-generation battlefield sweeper miniature unmanned attack aircraft, and collected information about the first-generation battlefield sweeper from the grassroots officers and soldiers. Lots of good advice and comments on Micro Attack Drones.

Among them, the problem of portability is the most reflected. Officers and soldiers generally reported that although this product is very good and practical, it is very inconvenient to carry and takes up too much space. I hope we can carry it around more often.

After synthesizing so many opinions, as well as our own research results, after trial and error, we chose this intelligent unmanned attack aircraft that can be launched. "

Very good, but has its range, flight time, and power been reduced? Wu Hao raised a question that he was more concerned about.

Zhou Yonghui shook his head with a smile: "No, it has not decreased, but relatively increased, and we have also improved on this basis.

In this regard, we still have to rely on the help of the army and the military industry system, 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 obtain sufficient power even when using a smaller battery. "
