Langdon and Mike were stunned, miracles, miracles, miracles, shouldn't they be the first test of the particle company, why did Colonel Moore get on the operation cabin of the H company?

Until the bullet drone on the runway began to glide, then accelerated, and then jumped into the air, if the two didn't know that the bullet drone was the latest product of Company H, they could really be killed head-on.

"Mike, tell me, why aren't they using the Discovery Series drone?" Tell me!" Langdon asked, snarling as he pulled Mike by the collar.

Mike spilled the coffee in his hand, but he didn't care about it now, because at the moment he also wondered how Company H could come up with a new drone that was different from the Discovery series.

There's no way, if you don't figure this out, once Company H's products crush the "competitive god" of the particle company into slag, then he will be tantamount to deceiving General Motors with fake business intelligence, and when the time comes, not to mention that the two million dollars in hand will be wasted, all the wealth he has accumulated in half his life may be put into it.

Let's not talk about how Langdon was angry, and I won't mention how Mike defended it, just talk about the operation cabin, Colonel Moore, who was sitting in the operation position, held the same control stick as the plane in his hand, looking at the flight attitude and various data displayed on the screen in front of him, excited like a child.

In particular, on a screen next to it, the "Hawkeye" 2 integrated viewpoint detection system, which was improved by the integrated optoelectronic system of the Apache helicopter gunship, uploaded a real-time picture, and it was even more shocking.

It's not that the real-time graphics are realistic, but the clarity of the smoothness, not to say that you're watching a live broadcast, but it's not far off.

"How?"

When the bullet drone entered level flight, Colonel Moore pointed to the screen in the middle and asked Liszt.

"In 200 kilometers, the C-band data link is used, that is, the senior management of major companies often use video and telephone conference terminals, a short-distance data transmission system, that is, the data signals on the aircraft are converted into analog signals and transmitted back to the ground control station, and then controlled by the ground control station according to the signal, with a delay of about ten to twenty seconds. ”

Hearing this, Moore nodded, the middle screen was indeed a card by card, but it was much better than the real-time transmission image of the Discovery-1 drone that he had seen in the Ministry of Justice, where it was not a card, but a pause, because the highest delay there was two minutes.

Obviously, Company H has made improvements in the communication system, Moore couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, but the next moment he remembered that General James had just operated the drone and flew more than 300 kilometers, and it could accurately land at the base, which was already beyond the scope of the C-band data link, so he continued to ask: "How did General James fly long distances?"

"Satellite!" replied Liszt, crisply.

"Satellite?" Moore frowned in confusion.

"Yes, Colonel, we use satellites. As he spoke, Liszt pointed to the side: "In the cabin of the car next to him is a complete set of 'Trojan Spirit' satellite communication system terminals, using the army's 'Trojan Spirit' communication satellite to relay communication to our bullet UAV, so as to complete the two-way transmission of flight attitude and reconnaissance data."

Of course, the Army's 'Trojan Spirit' communication satellites are only four, not only there are certain blind spots, but also the Army's communication channels are insufficient, at this time, our bullet UAV will enable the high-frequency data communication channel of commercial communication satellites, that is to say, as long as the communication satellites in the sky are still operating normally, our bullet UAV will swim in the sky, not bound by the traditional communication distance. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officers of the base, including Moore, were surprised, they never expected that communication satellite technology could be applied to drones, and thus make drones from a kite that could not be shaken off before, into a free bird that can truly soar in the sky.

You must know that the reason why UAVs are not widely used by countries is not that UAVs are not good, nor that countries are not clear about the future prospects of UAVs, but that under the existing conditions, the limitation of communication distance makes the distance of UAVs very embarrassing.

Taking the United States as an example, even if the most powerful ground control station is used, it can only control a distance of 500 kilometers at most, and it cannot be affected by signal failure, earth curvature, etc., and this distance is already the limit.

If you want to control the drone to fly farther, you need to set up multiple ground stations to carry out relay control similar to aerospace TT&C.

In this way, the use of UAVs is too high, because such a ground station can become a ground receiving station for satellites with a little modification, and satellites can conduct 24-hour uninterrupted reconnaissance, so why not use more efficient satellites?

What should I do if the satellite can't see clearly?

Do so many manned reconnaissance planes build without leaving them rusty? As for drones...... Let's save it as a supplement for short-range tactical reconnaissance.

But now, company H not only uses military communication satellites to solve the problem of confidential communication, but also creatively carries out the combination of commercial communication satellites, which is equivalent to saying that long-distance UAV control completely gets rid of the shackles of the ground control station, and puts it from the ground to space, which not only gets rid of the problem of long-distance control of UAVs, but also greatly compresses the use of the cost to a very low level.

Because whether it is military or commercial, the service fee for the use of communication satellites is much cheaper than that of ground stations.

As for the technical feasibility of this model, Moore and others don't even bother to think about it, not to mention military communication satellites, even if they are commercial communication satellites, the communication transmission effect is very good, not to mention anything else, the United States can watch TV programs all over the world, and it does not rely on communication satellites in the sky to disseminate them.

Even a television signal can be received and transmitted, and flight data, reconnaissance pictures, or even simple factual images that are much smaller than its signal cannot be transmitted?

All in all, these knowledgeable officers from the Advanced Research Projects Office of the Ministry of Defense know too well the value of this long-range control system, because Company H is not just a simple innovation, but really opens a new era of drones.

"Captain Carlos, put this important performance in the test report, remember, be sure to write in detail, I'm sure the generals of the Air Force will be very interested. Colonel Moore, who was still operating the bullet drone, didn't even think about it, so he told an officer with a folder behind him.

The captain named Carlos nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sir." He picked up the folder and began to write on it.

Moore turned his head and focused his attention back on the control of the bullet drone, and just as he was holding the joystick and preparing to circle around the hills, the screen in front of him suddenly flashed a string of red characters: "There is a target, you can attack!"

Moore was taken aback and hurriedly asked Liszt: "Can your drones really use weapons?"
