Chapter 526 Building a UAV Management System: The platform is more important than the aircraft
"This plane can fly 12000 kilometers?"
In Sichuan Province, at the test flight base of Huaxia Electronic Technology Group, a group of researchers could not help but study the two-tailed scorpion brought by Xu Huasheng.
This thing is big, but it looks weird. Anyway, they have never seen such an airplane before.
"Everyone, the reason why this aircraft can have such a long endurance is that, in addition to its exquisite design, the most important thing is that it uses our latest turboprop engine. This engine has very low fuel consumption and uses many of our New technology. However, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is a bit slow, and the flying speed of this aircraft is only 320 kilometers per hour..."
Xu Huasheng introduces the Two-tailed Scorpion to everyone.
The secret to the Twin-tailed Scorpion's long range is its light weight, large wing area, and fuel-efficient engine. Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. The double-tailed scorpion flies slowly and at a low altitude. The maximum ceiling is only 8000 meters, the speed is only 320 kilometers per hour, and the most economical cruising speed is 300 kilometers per hour.
This speed is completely incomparable to the flying speed of a supersonic fighter jet. But slow speed also has the advantage of being slow. Slow speed means long time in the air.
A ton of cargo can stay in the air for 40 hours. In many cases, the staying time of a drone is very important. Once you have gained control of the air, you can send a drone over and keep circling and searching a certain area.
Xu Huasheng’s introduction made many people praise him.
This aircraft is indeed excellent. As a drone, this drone has great uses according to the future combat model.
With a cargo capacity of 3.5 tons, this drone has great modification potential. Not only can it be used as an unmanned bomber, but it can also be used as an unmanned transport aircraft, an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, an unmanned early warning aircraft, etc.
It not only has great uses in the military field, but also has many civilian uses. Normally used as a cargo aircraft, it can also be converted into a fire-fighting aircraft and an emergency communications aircraft.
For example, when a disaster occurs and communication facilities in a certain area are damaged, the aircraft can fly to a designated area with an aerial base station and then stay in the air for forty hours to restore communications in a certain area and make rescue more convenient.
A group of people were studying the Two-tailed Scorpion at the airport, but Xu Huasheng and several senior executives of the Electronic Technology Group came to the conference room.
"Mr. Lin, I came here because I thought of something very important. I think we need to build an unmanned aerial vehicle management system and use this system to manage unmanned aerial vehicles. The biggest use of this system is to manage all unmanned aerial vehicles. Human aircraft can be used for both military and civilian purposes. Through this system, we can collect a large amount of flight data of unmanned aircraft, which can be used to train our AI intelligent combat system..."
In the conference room, Xu Huasheng stated his suggestions in detail.
Building a management system is actually a comprehensive platform. Just like the current management platform for manned aircraft, all unmanned aerial vehicles need to join this system and obey the management of this system.
After joining this system, all data of your aircraft will be known by the entire system. Flight weight, flight altitude, flight attitude, flight speed, flight position, etc.
At the same time, this system will also manage aircraft well, allowing many aircraft to fly better, and can even automatically command the takeoff and landing of these aircraft and various operating instructions. At the same time, it also facilitates regulatory authorities to supervise these aircraft and protect national security.
"We can collect a large amount of data through the civilian market to help us improve the database and train intelligent combat capabilities. Through civilian drones, we can train large-scale drone formation, drone honeycomb mode, and unified drone command capabilities. Wait. Not to mention anything else, if the country issues an airworthiness certificate and allows the use of the Twin-tailed Scorpion in the civilian market, my express company will need to order many of them. If necessary, these aircraft can be used in the future. Convert civilians to the army in the shortest possible time..."
Xu Huasheng said directly.
The potential of the civilian market is too great, especially after the online shopping and logistics industries develop in the future, air cargo will usher in the spring.
Don't think that transporting goods by plane is expensive. In fact, based on the load capacity and operating costs of the Twin-tailed Scorpion, the freight per kilometer of this thing is even cheaper than truck freight.
Aircraft are cheap to build and consume low fuel consumption. The most important thing is to save labor costs. This thing will be able to take off and land automatically in the future, without the need for a pilot at all.
For example, if you transport 3.5 tons of goods from Shenzhen to Yanjing, a distance of more than kilometers, if you drive a truck, even if it is non-stop for hours, it will take you at least more than hours.
For these more than twenty hours, you should at least find two drivers. The salary of a truck driver is not low. Add in gas expenses, tolls, the driver's meal expenses, etc., and the cost is not low.
If you use a double-tailed scorpion, it will be much easier. Departing from Shenzhen with loaded goods, the flight speed is 300 kilometers per hour, more than kilometers, which is only seven or eight hours. Not only is the speed fast, but there is no need to pay tolls or a driver. You only need to pay a parking fee at the airport.
It's two-thirds faster than trucking and can take off at any time. You can fly in the early morning and arrive just in time in the morning. It will be shipped today and delivered the next day.
Based on China's future cargo flow, how many such aircraft will be needed.
To put it bluntly, as long as the cost can be controlled within a reasonable range, China alone will need tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them.
If a war breaks out, this thing can be put into the factory at any time to complete the modification. In a few days, China will have hundreds of thousands of unmanned combat aircraft. By then, even if they are used as cannon fodder, it will be enough to consume a lot of the enemy's strength.
If China gains air superiority, these hundreds of thousands of drones can carry millions of tons of ammunition at a time, which will directly overwhelm the enemy.
Even if ten U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups come over, it will be useless. How many anti-aircraft missiles can all the warships combined have? By then, after your anti-aircraft missiles have stopped, the rest will be beaten. Even if one missile is mounted on each of these aircraft, it is enough to destroy ten of your aircraft carrier battle groups.
And this thing can not only transport goods, but can also be used to fire and extinguish fires. Fire bombs were hung directly above and thrown from the air.
An aircraft may be less effective, but if fire bombs are thrown on a large scale, it will be like carpet bombing, and the effect will definitely be good.
Fires are a common occurrence in a country, especially large fires, such as large wildfires. It is very dangerous to control the fire.
If there is a large-scale two-tailed scorpion, just hang fire-extinguishing bombs and carpet bomb the mountain fire from the air, and the mountain fire can be controlled quickly and the losses can be reduced.
When Xu Huasheng finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the conference room were all bright.
