Chapter 151: A Perfect Combination of Offense and Defense
The test took several days to prepare, but the whole process lasted only six or seven minutes.
There is no way, limited by the battery and battery life, the drone's stay time in the air is only six or seven minutes.
Sacrificing endurance to increase speed is also a way to balance performance in the field of drones. If you want absolute speed, you must strengthen the power of the motor and reduce the weight of the drone itself.
But in this way, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the battery, but the high-power motor is a large power consumer, not to mention a bunch of other sensors and related equipment.
While greatly reducing the weight of the battery, it can maintain a battery life of six or seven minutes, which is actually very good.
In fact, with such a small volume of UAVs and such a small scale of operations, six or seven minutes is enough.
It's just that in a complex environment, the performance of the drone is limited by the terrain and cannot be played.
Just like this time, the vegetation in the woodland is relatively dense, and it is very inconvenient for drones to travel through it, and it is difficult to search for relevant hidden targets.
In the end, the test 'Moles' won.
There were fifteen people in total, and the drone only found thirteen of them, and two people still did not find them within the endurance.
Of course, these two men are hiding in a tricky position.
The first man, hiding in a huge canopy. The branches are relatively dense, so the drone did not go deep into this branch to investigate, but just swept around and left.
Because of the distance, after the sun rises, the temperature above the trunk is higher than on the ground, which greatly masks the infrared signs of the human body.
Coupled with the gentle breeze sweeping the dense foliage swinging, there was a great deal of information interference in the radar search on the drone, which led to his ability to fool the drone.
The second person was even more ruthless, he directly immersed himself in the cold stream on the hillside, just exposed his face to breathe, and after hearing the sound of the drone, he quickly hid in the water to hold his breath.
The icy stream cut off the man's infrared signs, and the water itself was able to isolate the reflected radar waves, so he evaded the radar search.
Being able to find out the weaknesses of their drone in such a short period of time and make use of it, you can see the solid technical and tactical level of these two veterans.
This is indeed a defect or deficiency of their drone, and it also exists objectively, and such defects will continue to exist until there is no new detection technology.
In fact, these two people can also be found using the current detection technology, but the power of the detection equipment carried by the drone is too low, and the data processing capacity is also very limited, so these two fish will slip through the net.
Of course, this does not mean that their drone and the 'battlefield sweeper' have failed. There are a total of fifteen people, and thirteen can be found within six or seven minutes, which is enough to show the advanced nature of this weapon and equipment.
The test work will last for several days, and the R&D technical team must have enough test data to facilitate their subsequent research and related optimization improvements.
It's just that the time given to them won't be too long, because the exhibition of civil-military integration achievements in the capital is about to open. The company's advance personnel have set off to prepare for the relevant exhibition arrangement.
Regarding this drone or the battlefield sweeper in the process of research and development, Wu Hao has been thinking about how much room for improvement this system and drone has, and what fields can be used in addition to the battlefield.
This is a technical consideration. Because technology is the result of the combined action of knowledge in multiple domains, it can be applied to multiple fields. Nuclear energy, for example, can be used as a weapon, but also in the field of power and power generation to serve mankind.
It's also a business need. After all, the research and development of a technology is too time-consuming and laborious, and as a company, they must tap the maximum value of this technology.
So in the same way, what does this 'Battlefield Sweeper' drone do in addition to the battlefield? This is not only a problem for Wu Hao and other technical personnel, but also a headache for business operators.
At present, there are two main aspects that everyone thinks about the most and has the most consensus.
The first is the logistics delivery drone system that they are currently developing with Albatross Logistics Technology Co., Ltd., which they are establishing in A. The 'Battlefield Sweeper' UAV has strong obstacle avoidance and personnel detection and recognition functions. This is an absolutely indispensable feature for this kind of logistics delivery drone flying in areas with complex terrain and people such as cities.
If this technology can be applied to logistics delivery drones, it can not only accelerate the research and development process of this drone and project, but also improve the overall performance of this drone, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The second field of autonomous driving, which is also the hottest research area at present. Although major companies are conducting research in this field, they have also come up with their own unmanned driving technology. However, there are only a handful of driverless technologies that are truly outstanding and accepted by the public, and are also put into practical use.
Most of the unmanned driving technology is still in the theoretical and experimental stage.
The difficulty of this technology is actually that in high-speed driving, the driverless car can detect the surrounding environment and accurately process real-time information.
In this regard, they certainly can't compete in the hardware field with the tech giants who are working on this technology. But there is no doubt that the software processing power, especially in the processing of environmental information and AI technology, is definitely leading.
Although they are unlikely to enter the automotive field with their current capabilities and development directions, it is also a good choice to find a manufacturer for technical cooperation.
In Wu Hao's vision, there are actually many areas of application for this battlefield sweeper system and drones.
For example, unmanned attack vehicles, or unmanned attack speedboats, or even unmanned attack submersibles developed based on the 'Battlefield Sweeper' system, can play an unexpected role in specific fields.
Even in the civilian field, security patrol drones and unmanned patrol vehicles developed by the 'Battlefield Sweeper' system will also play an important role in the field of security defense.
For example, this UAV, removing the attack module, completely improved it into a patrol and reconnaissance drone.
Then this patrol reconnaissance drone forms a multi-plane patrol reconnaissance team or patrol group to patrol and investigate the target area.
And it can also automatically carry out scheduling, marshalling, take-off and landing charging and other functions according to its own endurance, without human intervention.
After discovering a suspicious target, it can not only monitor and track in real time, but also alert the control center and security personnel in time. It can even use the lens sensor on the drone to identify the identity of the personnel, and use the speakers and lights on the drone to warn and drive away the intruders.
