Chapter 24: Saturation Attack
Without giving everyone much time to think, Wu Hao continued: "In fact, our technology can be used in more fields, and theoretically all cluster devices can use our technology.
For example, when the farming equipment of a large farm is equipped with our technology, the entire farm can be managed and operated independently, from sowing seeds, to spraying pesticides, irrigation, fertilization, harvesting, and transportation.
For example, if the information interconnection and data sharing of all driverless cars are realized, what kind of scenario will it be?
In fact, in the civilian field, such technology is still used in many scenarios, so I won't list them all here. ”
After saying this, Wu Hao gave the people below a little time to think and discuss, and he himself sorted out his thoughts before continuing.
"Next, I would like to talk about the development prospects of this technology and another important application area."
I saw two words displayed on the big screen behind Wu Hao - military.
"As you know, UAV swarm technology has always been a key area of quantitative research in various countries."
"According to the public information we know, our country has successfully carried out 112 drone swarm flight experiments. The current world record is a cluster release experiment of 169 aircraft conducted by the United States Air Force.
The reason why countries and science and technology companies have invested heavily in research is entirely because they see its lofty development prospects.
Not to mention anything else, the application of this technology in military affairs will also bring about a technological and tactical revolution in military equipment and even in current operations.
Referring to this, we have to say a term that is very hot in the military field. Saturation rescue, no, should be a saturation attack. ”
Wu Hao played a trick and continued to preach.
"The so-called saturation attack actually refers to the use of high-density, continuous attack penetration mode, and at the same time, in a short period of time, to the same target to output firepower beyond its ability to resist strikes. The ability to counter-resist is in an unmanageable saturation state in a short period of time, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the probability of penetrating the defense and destroying the target.
In fact, the saturation attack is not new, it was introduced during the Cold War. It's just that for a long time, there have been too many criticisms of saturation attacks and they have not been taken seriously.
Normally, the military forces of some developed countries or large countries believe that a saturation attack is actually a backward strike method that a small country or a small armed force has no choice but to adopt when dealing with the enemy's super-powerful interception force.
To put it bluntly, it is actually to make up for quality with quantity and accuracy with high probability. Counter defensive interception capabilities with scale.
Although it is more practical, it is inefficient and time-consuming. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it will not be used to attack in this way.
For example, at the beginning of this century, in order to deal with the provocation of a certain country's powerful naval forces and the increasing provocation of the coast. A large number of shore-based mobile missile launchers, as well as a missile boat characterized by high-speed stealth penetration, have been equipped and deployed along the coast.
In order to adopt this method in the event of a conflict, the method of "wolf pack tactics" and "saturation attack" is adopted against the enemy's advanced ships, so as to strike at and destroy the enemy's provocative forces.
As our military forces, especially our navy, become more and more powerful, this mode of warfare has gradually been abandoned. The original high-speed missile boats were gradually retired or converted into offshore patrol boats.
However, this concept or operational thinking of saturation attack has been retained. Not only has it been regarded as a magic weapon for defeating advanced military forces by the weak military forces of some countries, but it has also been re-studied by many advanced countries.
On the one hand, it is necessary to study how to deal with and counter this kind of saturation attack, and on the other hand, it is to study how to carry out new technological innovations under the theory of saturation attack and make it re-invigorated.
Therefore, a kind of swarm attack and swarm tactics based on the theory of saturation attack have become a hot topic of research in various countries.
The so-called swarm attack can actually be regarded as an evolution or a copy of the saturation attack, but compared with the simple saturation attack, the swarm attack is more complex and more flexible.
To put it simply, swarm attacks and the swarm tactics derived from them are more flexible and intelligent. It's not a simple set of numbers, but an optimized strike system based on a large number of attacking units.
Under the command of this system, numerous attacking units can flexibly change formations, combine them at will, update their battle plans in a timely manner, change their targets, and so on.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, especially UAV swarm array technology, is regarded as the closest practical technology to this set of swarm attacks.
After all, in some areas, both missiles and UAVs have a lot of similarities. Even now there are missiles developed based on drones, or even more crudely the technology to install missiles on drones.
Even in hot-spot war zones, militants use simple drones to carry out reconnaissance attacks. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at the interested people in the audience, and then eased his tone.
"Of course, there is a big difference between drone technology or the technology currently used for the light and shadow display of drone swarm arrays and the military drone swarm flight control technology, that is, swarm attack technology.
At present, the aircraft cluster array technology used for unmanned light and shadow performances is only in a fixed three-dimensional space to change, combine, fly and control.
The UAV swarm flight control technology that the military is looking at is in real-time three-dimensional space, that is, in different times, different terrains, and different environments, the combination of UAV or missile formations and flight control.
The two are only changes in time and space, but the technical difficulty is very different. So far, it is still being studied and experimented by various countries, and it has not been equipped and used.
Even the seemingly simple unmanned light and shadow performance of the machine cluster array technology, the current development is still in the basic stage.
Numerous drone array light and shadow shows are only some simple image combinations and light and shadow flashes, and cannot be flexibly combined and changed, and flight control. There is still a long way to go before real drone arrays and swarm flight control technology. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, and then looked at the crowd: "What I want to say is that our system will change all this. ”
"Huh?"
Everyone in the audience suddenly became a sensation, and even the white-haired old man with sideburns who had been listening to his speech and introduction stood up directly after hearing Wu Hao's words.
