Chapter 253 ‘Hive’ drone cluster! The debut of the J-15!
(modified)
Looking at the launch vehicle exuding an "aggressive" aura in the distance, the "drone" hidden in the mouth of the tube seems to be able to take everyone's life at any time.
In an instant, the originally very noisy environment turned into 'dead silence' at this time. The scene in front of me made people feel a little scared.
"'Hive' cluster drones?" Ahmed Hassan frowned and asked with some confusion: "Is it possible to send so many drones at once?"
You know, they have never tried to use multiple drones at one time for coordination, which is a simple version of the 'hive drone swarm' in front of them.
After all, everyone is not stupid. Everyone has a brain in their head. There is no reason why they can't think of this thing.
On the contrary, Persia's research on weapons such as 'drone' is quite profound, such as various modifications of 'small drones', turning them into elusive shadows, or performing sneak assassination missions, or even acting as Self-explosion devices are all 'use methods' they came up with
Various development methods are used by Persia, Hamas, and the Slipper Army with great proficiency. After all, actual combat is the truth that tests the results. They are engaged in actual combat every day.
If one drone is so easy to use, how about using dozens of them together? This is everyone's subconscious thought.
"Have you solved the communication and serial connection technology?" Ahmed Hassan's eyes flashed with shock.
They in Persia have been trying this technical route for a long time, but the result every time is failure again and again.
The problem is that even if the communication bridges of the drones are connected in series, the controller cannot control multiple drones at one time, and behaviors such as bombing the drones will often occur.
Another point is that no matter how good the communication between drones is in series, as long as the number exceeds a few and the distance is slightly farther, there will be considerable delay and error in the remote sensing signal, and the drone will look like Headless flies generally fly everywhere.
If dozens of operators are sent to control it at the same time, although most problems can be solved, the advantages of the drone such as its small size and flexibility are lost, and it becomes a burden.
Therefore, Ahmed Hassan is not optimistic about the ‘honeycomb drone cluster’ developed by Daxia 732 Military Factory.
After hearing this.
"No, our cluster drone is not that troublesome." Li Yunshan chuckled and pointed to the launch vehicle in front of him: "This launch vehicle acts as a communication base station and serves as a hub for drones for remote synchronization of the network. Remote control.”
"With only one operator to control, more than 40 drones can work together at the same time and perform precise tasks."
Compared with the stupid method adopted by Persia, Daxia's technical route is too advanced.
This is where the launch vehicle is used as a base station for remote control, and difficult tasks such as data calculation and simulation recognition are also handed over to the ground command base station. The drone only needs to execute the commands issued by the base station, while the operator provides instructions to the base station. Just give the exact instructions.
And each hive drone can act independently. Some are responsible for reconnaissance, some are responsible for vigilance, and some are responsible for concentrated fire attacks.
Only one soldier is needed to exert the same power as a well-trained small force.
Even if all the drones are destroyed, the crew members can directly drive the launch vehicle and leave the place quickly, and the loss will only be the dozens of unrecovered 'drone', which is not worth a lot of money at all.
"It's so magical?" Abdul's eyes lit up: "How much does it cost?"
It only needs one soldier to control it, and it can exert such a powerful power, and the difficulty of getting started with the 'drone' has never been too high.
Isn’t this the equipment that Saudi Arabia dreams of?
Although they are vulnerable in research and development, they can't help but have money!
Li Yunshan shook his head, and then the smile on his face became even wider: "The formal research and development has not been completed yet. This is just a pilot test product and cannot be sold yet."
"If you want to 'cooperate' in advance."
Hearing this, how could Abdul not understand what Li Yunshan meant: "We in Saudi Arabia have money. Please join this project in Daxia. What should we do??"
"We don't talk about money." Li Yunshan waved his hand and said with an indifferent expression: "What Daxia pays attention to is 'fate', Mr. Ambassador."
"How much luck does it cost?" Abdul said with bright eyes.
After working with Daxia for so many years, who still doesn’t know what kind of ‘Little Jiujiu’ is being fought?
When the money is in place, fate will naturally come as well.
If we really want to provide Daxia with 100 billion US dollars in funds, there will be no problem even if we take Saudi Arabia to the moon.
Seeing the two people looking joyful, the Persian ambassador Ahmed Hassan next to him had a face full of frustration.
I was the one who asked first, so why are you two chatting so enthusiastically?
Suddenly I couldn't help but ask: "Director Li, we in Persia can also have a 'fate'. We can also talk about it."
It’s just that his fate is the source of resources!
At worst, if we sell some oil and natural gas from Daxia, we won't be short of tens of billions of dollars in resources anyway.
at the same time.
Standing not far away from the two of them, in the most crowded place in the exhibition hall, I listened to the various compliments coming from my ears.
And on the upper LCD screen, various demonstration images and information are displayed.
Lu Ze controlled the 'Puppet' and stared at the 'Hive Unmanned Cluster System' in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh again: "I didn't expect Daxia to be able to build it so many years in advance."
“It’s really beyond my expectation”
Although this kind of swarm drones is compared with the highly intelligent "drone swarm system" of later generations, there is still a big gap between the two.
But being able to achieve preliminary identification and tracking in the 2009-10 time period is quite an achievement in intelligent technology.
This is because at this point, Daxia has only completed the navigation satellite network of the Beidou-2 system, which can provide full-time coverage navigation in the Asia-Pacific region.
It has just started the layout and construction of the 'Beidou System 3'. If the global networking of the 'Beidou System 3' is completed in a few years.
This set of 'hive drone swarms' will play its greatest role.
"Is this the technology I submitted to inspire Daxia?" Lu Ze began to mutter in his heart.
Not only the earliest small drone technology provided, but also functions such as automatic return to home use intelligent technology routes, which is roughly equivalent to the technical level of "small drones" in the next 16-18 years.
At the same time, the OS system he submitted also comes from 14 years of intelligent technology. With the combination of the two, it is surprising to be able to achieve this level, but it is not surprising.
After all, Yingjiang was able to achieve swarming flights of fifty fixed-wing UAVs in 2014/15, and in 2017 Daxia achieved 120 simultaneous coordinated gatherings, multi-target groupings, formation sieges, etc. Command, I don't know how advanced it is compared to the 'drone swarm' technology at this stage.
"The next step for Daxia should be to solve communication technology." Lu Ze touched his chin.
For the "swarm UAV system", which can easily carry out hundreds of sorties, communication network technology is a top priority, such as the development of ultra-bandwidth and low-latency technology routes, followed by the development of intelligent technology.
If we just want to reach the level after 2020, it is estimated that there is still a long way to go. At least communication technology and AI recognition technology are not so easy to solve. It is not only a software problem, but also a problem of hardware technology and equipment.
"However, it's not too difficult." Lu Ze felt that these techniques should not be difficult to acquire.
If that doesn't work, he can still rely on the system lottery to get it.
Nighttime, 8pm.
The first day of the International Arms Expo has come to an end, but the entire event will last for several days, and it can only be regarded as a 'warm-up phase' now.
In Yanjing, the office of the president of Xia Ke Academy is still brightly lit at this moment.
After a document was transferred, Zhang Yuli was even more overjoyed. He pointed out the numbers in the document to his old friend next to him, his face turned red with excitement: "Old Zheng, look at what our foreign trade order numbers are today?"
Zheng Lixing took it and took a look, his eyes widened as well: "Good guy, 20 billion U.S. dollars?" The 'Scorpion long-range UAV' alone has sold 14 billion U.S. dollars in pre-orders, including Saudi Arabia and Persia. It accounted for 10 billion US dollars.
A lot of other remaining weapons and equipment have also been sold, especially light weapons. Daxia has always been well received by buyers in the international market and has always been known for its cost-effectiveness.
Except for the 'Scorpion UAV', the others were all small arms. Not to mention the large orders for fighter planes, not even a few armored vehicles were sold. ”
"This gap is too big." Looking at the numbers above, Zheng Lixing felt a little uncomfortable.
Although the Scorpion UAV is also very profitable, other than that it cannot sell any high-priced military and foreign trade weapons.
For things like small arms, even if you sell 100,000 rifles, so what if the total income is hundreds of millions of dollars? The profit earned is estimated to be lower than that of several Scorpion UAVs.
After all, this thing not only has to be compared with countries like Ermao and Damao where light weapons are rampant, but you even have to compare with countries like Eagle Sauce and France. You can't make much money at all.
"Why haven't you even sold a few J-10-Cs?"
After saying this, Zheng Lixing sighed deeply.
This time, the J-10C, which they had high hopes for, was the J-10 version that was overhauled by Song Qinyi's 611 Research Institute, but there were not many intended orders.
The few that exist are custom-made models from Pakistan.
This is not to say that Daxia’s J-10C has poor performance. On the contrary, although this fighter has not sold a few, it has been well received by representatives from all participating countries.
Both in terms of performance and price, they are much higher than competitors such as Rafale and Su-30.
"We have to think of a way." Zhang Yuli said with a frown.
The most critical issue in this is that the air forces of many countries have become accustomed to French and American specifications of fighters, and it is a bit awkward to switch to Daxia specifications.
Even if the price of the French Rafale is higher, due to the coordination of the overall air force, others are more inclined to buy the Rafale rather than switch to Daxia's J-10C!
A strong dose of medicine is necessary, otherwise these people will not have much intention to buy it.
"Can we use RMB-resources for swap settlement?" Zheng Lixing thought of a good method.
Most of these countries don't want to buy, but they don't have much money on hand. You can't just buy one or two, right? If you want to change, you need to change a formation. At least order 6 or 10 aircraft or something.
No matter how cheap the J-10C is, it costs close to 40 to 50 million U.S. dollars, which is a one-time expenditure of several hundred million U.S. dollars.
For a country like Persia, which has neither US dollars nor RMB, its resources can be directly used as RMB to purchase Daxia's weapons.
"Inappropriate." Although it was a good idea, Zhang Yuli decisively rejected it: "Now is not the time."
Today's large-scale resource local currency settlement system is a great challenge to Yingjiang.
Persia, for example, will also use oil for RMB settlement, but Saudi Arabia does not have the courage at all, and Eagle Sauce cannot tolerate it.
The future is feasible. Daxia has actually already made preliminary plans, otherwise Zheng Lixing would not have mentioned this.
But not now. At present, they do not have the absolute strength to protect their allies from threats.
"Then let's do some important things." Zheng Lixing didn't think much and said directly: "Xifei has achieved some results and can disclose some news to the outside world."
"Yeah." Zhang Yuli nodded.
Since it is a weapons and equipment expo, displaying new equipment is the best solution. It can also fully demonstrate the strength of Daxia and reassure all countries that purchase Daxia equipment.
The first day has only just begun, and the real show has not yet begun.
The next day.
It is still Zhu City, Guangnan Province, the International Arms Expo Pavilion.
Compared to the opening day on the first day, today seems to be even more lively.
After all, yesterday was just business between representatives from various countries, but today there were real performances to watch.
The exhibition area this time is divided into two, one is indoor display of weapons and equipment, and aerospace components. For example, Pratt & Whitney brought the F119 engine of the F22 fighter jet.
The outdoor exhibition area is used to place large objects that cannot be parked in the exhibition hall.
For example, physical fighters, transport aircraft and even bombers will be on display today. Products such as Damao’s Su-30 and Su-27 are still on display, which is also the main reason for attracting general audiences to the exhibition.
A variety of aircraft are placed in the peripheral exhibition area, which is dazzling.
Exhibition area ticket inspection office.
Zhang Heng and his old friend Zhu Xiaopeng were lining up nervously, waiting to enter.
"Old pig, do you have enough film tape?" Zhang Heng glanced at the others and continued: "If you don't have one, don't borrow it from me later."
"Don't worry, I brought ten rolls of film, I don't believe I can use it all." Zhu Xiaopeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
It is said that new gadgets were revealed this time. How could he enter the venue without bringing enough film? There are ten volumes, enough for him to take more than 300 photos.
"That's good, I brought twenty volumes." Zhang Heng replied casually.
I just entered the exhibition area and walked a few steps without taking any photos.
Suddenly, they heard exclamations coming from the distance. They didn't need to think too much. There must be something good to see over there, and they all headed towards the same place in advance.
The two of them finally squeezed into the crowd, their pupils dilated instantly and their eyes became dull and hot.
In front of you, a fighter plane with a streamlined body, a long nose, and sharp vertical edges on the wings is showing its mighty "body", which is impressive at first glance.
And its size is much larger than the F/A18 next to it. Compared with it, this Hornet is simply the size of a baby.
When Zhang Heng and Zhu Xiaopeng had just stood firm and carefully observed this 'huge' fighter jet.
A dark and thin young man couldn't help but mutter: "Is this the new J-10 fighter??"
"Young man, what's that look in your eyes? No matter how new the J-10 is, it can have two engines?" Zhang Heng's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.
He even doubted whether this young man had become blind at a young age.
With such a large twin-engine engine placed in front of you, how can you tell that it belongs to the J-10?
No matter how much the J-10 is modified, you can't change the single-engine to dual-engine, right? This is not a modification of the J-10, it has been directly changed to the J-20!
"This is the J-15 that just made its first flight a few months ago." Another person next to him, who was obviously a military fan, gave a decisive answer.
"Is this the carrier-based aircraft that is about to board our aircraft carrier?"
Zhu Xiaopeng paused in his heart and murmured to himself: "If the J-15 is unveiled now, does it mean that it is not far away from being put on the ship?"
Thinking of this, everyone looked at it with strong surprise.
If the J-15 makes its maiden flight, it will be just around the corner for the Daxia aircraft carrier to become combat effective. In this case, is it still far away from the next dual-carrier formation?
In other words, isn’t it easy to get the next-generation J-35 carrier-based aircraft on board?
So if you think about it again, isn't their next-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier just around the corner?
How could this not make all military fans including Zhang Heng extremely excited? ?
