Chapter 1067 Calculation II
In the current time and space, only Wu Chen understands the prospects of UAVs in military and civilian use, so he continuously provides the cutting-edge UAV technology of the United States to his scientific research team.
At first, it was the national treasure experts of the former Soviet Union who carried out research and development, and later joined the younger generation of talents, forming a terrifying professional team.
The United States ranks first in the world in scientific research and technological capabilities, and its years of experience have created brilliance, which cannot be surpassed in a short period of time.
It is indeed very difficult for experts in the former Soviet Union to develop a top-level UAV that surpasses the United States alone, but with the cutting-edge technology of the United States as the basis, continue to dig deeper, and the success rate is very amazing.
The mercenaries see the use of drones as a killer weapon, and the data is top secret, and although it can be sold to allies, it is definitely not their own cutting-edge equipment. According to Wu Chen, it is called the market version, which is used to make money, even if it is simplified a lot, but it is currently the most advanced type of drone in the world.
The first thing to talk about is the Assassin-A drone, the first type to be developed, which is a close-range multi-purpose drone, derived from the American Predator drone technology. The length of the aircraft is 12.6 meters, the wingspan is 18.6 meters, the maximum radius of activity is 5,000 kilometers, the maximum flight speed is 460 kilometers per hour, the time spent in the air above the target is 24 hours, and the maximum endurance time is 48 hours.
The full-load altitude is 12,000 kilometers, the no-load surveillance is 21,000 kilometers, it can carry two laser-guided missiles and four Hellfire anti-tank missiles, and can also be equipped with small joint direct attack ammunition, which is a copy of the Predator drone, and this type can be sold externally.
The Assassin A-1 attack drone is basically a copy of the Global Hawk drone, if the weapon is removed, its performance is much superior to the Global Hawk drone, it belongs to the type of dual-purpose aircraft, but the power is even greater.
Eight weapon pylons under the wings are equipped with four American-made Paveway laser-guided bombs and four quadruple Hellfire anti-tank missile nests, as well as mercenary-developed laser-guided bombs, air-to-surface missiles, and satellite-guided bombs.
Both UAVs are equipped with optoelectronic and infrared reconnaissance equipment, Atlantis satellite navigation equipment, and synthetic aperture radar with all-weather reconnaissance capabilities, which can easily carry out precision strikes, and also represent the pinnacle of today's UAV technology.
"Irina, with the approval of the boss, I need to mobilize six drones from you to carry out special tasks, but the US troops stationed there have radar surveillance and Avenger anti-aircraft missiles, and they want to drop bombs on their material storage sites, which is not an easy thing, the cost of drones is too high, and I am a little reluctant." Thompson called Irina and said.
UAVs are really not cheaper than a manned fighter, take the American Predator drone as an example, the price reaches 20 million US dollars a piece, and the loss of one is really distressing, and the value is made of gold.
"If you want to deal with the radar of the US military, there are many ways to use it, one way is to launch anti-radiation missiles to destroy their radar, the second is to release electromagnetic pulse bombs to interfere with the signal in the entire area, and the third is to use stealth combat aircraft to directly drop bombs or missiles, what is there to worry about?" Irina said with a smile.
"It's more difficult, of course I know the methods you mentioned, but the first method needs to be executed by fighter jets, the target is too big and easy to show its feet, and the United States has been staring at us. The second kind is not good, the electromagnetic pulse bomb is a cutting-edge equipment, and it is also a campaign-level weapon, which is very expensive to build, and it cannot be used until the critical time, so it is not worth it for this group of devils. ”
"At present, only our mercenary corps of stealth fighters have been put into active service, and the number is not very large, and it is estimated that several airports have long been targeted by the CIA, and the US government will know that it is still too dangerous if it moves a little. The boss spent so much effort to create a big scam, and we can't hold him back. Thompson said.
"I'm talking about stealth drones, you may not know for a long time outside, the drone project team of the scientific research base in Celenta Town has developed the latest generation of killer drones, attack drones with stealth capabilities, and technology is improving after all." Irina said.
"Drones can also be invisible? You're not kidding me, are you? Thompson said in surprise.
"What's so strange about this, the B-2 stealth strategic bomber and the H-1B stealth strategic bomber are examples, the difference is that there are people and no one, we have three drones that meet the requirements of the boss, this is the drone that the R&D team took six years to secretly research successfully, and it is also the main type of mercenary corps."
"One is called the Aerospace Helicarrier UAV, which belongs to the ultra-large UAV matrix, which can carry eight medium-sized UAVs or 16 small UAVs, the second is an attack UAV, which can even launch cruise missiles, and the third is an electronic warfare UAV, which can launch anti-radiation missiles." Irina said.
With the continuous progress of science and technology around the world, Wu Chen's idea has gradually become a reality, and dual-use UAVs for attack and reconnaissance have begun to become the mainstream.
These two attack UAVs are powered by the latest CNC three-rotor afterburner turbofan engine of the power research and development team, and the whole body is made of titanium alloy, so the weight is relatively lighter, not only the range is long, but the weight is also particularly amazing.
Assassin C-1 Aerospace Helicarrier stealth UAV, the pride of the R&D team, stealth technology comes from the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, with a wingspan length of 54 meters, a fuselage length of 22 meters, a height of 4.8 meters, a maximum flight speed of Mach 1 per hour, and a maximum take-off weight of 66 tons.
The drone is powered by two CNC three-rotor afterburner turbofan engines with 25 tons of fuel on board. The maximum range for reconnaissance purposes can reach as much as 27,000 kilometers, the autonomous flight time is 45 hours, and it is capable of intercontinental flight, and can stay at an altitude of 20,000 meters above the target area for 28 hours.
The most critical thing is that the ventral part of the UAV is equipped with two large weapon rotating pylons, which are not used to place bombs or missiles, but to launch small UAVs, so they are called helicarrier stealth UAVs.
The Assassin C-2 stealth attack drone, the stealth technology comes from the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, and uses the Rolls-Royce engine modified version of the Global Hawk UAV as the power, which has long-range strike capabilities. It can carry more than three tons of fuel and can fly more than 12,000 kilometers when fully loaded with ammunition, and can fly for up to 26 hours.
The belly magazine can carry two large rotating weapon pylons and be equipped with 12 air-to-surface missiles or two air-launched cruise missiles, and can also be replaced with two large 900-kilogram joint direct attack munitions or four 450-kilogram joint direct attack munitions.
Assassin C-3 stealth attack drone, stealth technology comes from the B-2 stealth strategic bomber, using the Rolls-Royce engine modification version of the Global Hawk UAV as power, the main purpose is to implement electronic suppression, and use anti-radiation missiles to destroy the opponent's radar system.
