Of course, the civilian standards are not as harsh as the military, at least in terms of durability and confidentiality, so the components of the network are based on the simplified version of the data link, the data link communication system.

As for the communication between UAV platforms, the ultraviolet optical communication system with strong anti-jamming ability has been replaced by a laser communication system with slightly inferior performance.

Although the overall performance is several notches lower than that of the military version, the Ascendas Group has not reduced the performance of the civilian version, but is more advanced than the military version in some aspects.

For example, integrated circuits, military requirements are strong and durable, and can be used in water, sand, plateaus, and mountains, so the selection of integrated circuits is mainly durable, so that in some key parts of the integrated circuit, slightly backward transistors are still used.

Just because this kind of product is strong enough and stable enough.

However, these problems are not involved in civil use, because civilian products only pursue the ultimate performance, because the selection of large-scale integrated circuits is naturally focused on the most cutting-edge products.

This is just like the smartphone decades later, the demand for chips for various high-end flagship machines is called an extreme, and there are 1 nanometers made of 3 nanometers, which will never be eliminated by 3 nanometers, and the outstanding thing is performance.

The same is true for Ascendas' civilian swarm drone system.

Therefore, the five ZB-MAXpro helicopters sent out by the Xiangzhou factory this time are equipped with integrated circuits for the swarm control system, all of which use high-end chips made of 248 nanometers produced by Toshiba Corporation of Japan.

The equipment is produced using Nikon's latest DUV lithography machine, and thanks to Japan's dominant position in the semiconductor industry in the 90s, the civilian version of the Swarm UAV system of the Ascendas Group has been greatly improved.

The most significant is that the volume of the entire control module is reduced by 50% compared with the military, although it is still difficult to assemble into small and medium-sized UAVs such as "Harpy", but it is no longer a problem to apply it to medium-sized UAV platforms such as TY-2.

As for the quasi-military unmanned aerial machine such as the Target 5 cruise missile target missile, it can naturally be integrated, but it will be difficult to define the attributes of the Target 5 at that time, because the Target 5 that integrates the swarm UAV system already has all the functions and strike capabilities of cruise navigation at the same time, it has extremely strong independent judgment and saturation strike capabilities.

However, in terms of confidential communication and network stability, it is inferior to a pure military cruise missile, and its adaptability to the complex battlefield environment is relatively poor, so the real combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than that of the traditional cruise missile, so the Tengfei Group did not call the target 5 of the civilian version of the swarm UAV system a cruise missile, but gave it a more appropriate name, called a cruise missile.

That is, low-cost, to be independently and controllably formed, flying attack munitions.

As a result, as soon as this kind of improvised cruising missile was launched, it was favored by the military, especially the airborne troops of the Air Force and the Marine Corps of the Navy, who were very interested in this multi-mission cruise missile, and purchased a batch of them from the Tengfei Group for training and research on new tactics.

It is with the strong investment and support of the military behind the scenes, Tengfei Group's swarm UAV system will quickly mature, but there is still a considerable distance from the goal of grabbing excess profits, making small money, and driving industrial development.

Of course, in addition to the temptation of profits, Zhuang Jianye is determined to promote the civilian market, and the pull of the industry is also another important reason.

As for what industry, of course, it will be the most critical semiconductor manufacturing industry in the future.

In this regard, Zhuang Jianye's idea is very simple, since the future of drones, manned aircraft and spacecraft in outer space need the support of the modern semiconductor industry, in order to play the greatest potential, of course, in their own hands.

In this way, you don't have to look at other people's faces, nor do you have to bear the high price, if someone is playing tricks and getting stuck in the neck, you can deal with it calmly.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to reduce the cost of its own products.

You must know that the target 5 using the swarm UAV system is almost 800,000 yuan more expensive than the original ordinary version, and the main reason is that the price of Toshiba's 248nm chips is really high, which is a bit outrageous.

But there is no way, in 1994, the entire world's semiconductor industry is still the world of the Japanese, as for Samsung, TSMC is not even a younger brother, the United States Intel, Texas Instruments are only struggling to support, are trying to stab the Japanese.

In this case, Tengfei Group has not many options, and if it wants to achieve the ultimate performance, it can only purchase from Japan, and the price is high.

After all, the price of civilian products can be high, but it cannot be as high as luxury goods, otherwise how to popularize and how to make a lot of money.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhuang Jianye decentralizes the source of chips, except for the most high-end flagship chips purchased from Japan, other products from Samsung or TSMC are used as much as possible, and even some of Intel's semiconductor integrated circuits are used.

So as to reduce the cost to a certain extent, but this is not the ultimate goal of Zhuang Jianye, only by grasping the entire industrial chain in his own hands, Zhuang Jianye can feel at ease, otherwise he will not feel solid to sleep.

Because of this, while purchasing chips from abroad, under the leadership of Zhuang Jianye, a venture capital fund was established with Chenggong Factory, Aerospace No. 2 Factory, China Merchants Bank and China Development Bank to inject 650 million yuan into Luan Heping's Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. to support its business in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Luan Heping began to create an electronic equipment factory at the end of the eighties, to carry out three to one supplement of electronic processing trade, in the business is getting bigger and bigger at the same time, but also to touch the low-end technology of semiconductors, on their own situation in the entire industry that is called a door, naturally understand that relying on low labor, high density, overload of hard money can not be made for a long time.

What's more, the profits of this kind of hard-earned money are too thin, and if you want to make a lot of money for a long time, you have to aim at the high-tech part of the top of the industrial chain.

Therefore, Luan Heping has long been arching towards the middle and upper reaches of the industrial chain of electronic equipment, the problem is that he wants to do it, but the conditions do not allow it.

First, he has no technology, secondly, there is no talent, of course, the most important thing is that he does not have so much capital to invest, you must know that the semiconductor industry in the middle and upper reaches, each item is smashed out with real money, and the amount of investment is not the usual millions, tens of millions, but hundreds of millions, more than a billion smashing, so insist on five to ten years, before you can see underwriting.

There is no way to put Moore's law of semiconductors there, every 18 months, the technology of semiconductors will make the process overturned, in other words, your plant, equipment has just been completed, the whole line has become a backward product because of Moore's law, so you can only continue to spend money until it is consistent with the amplitude of Moore's law.

Think about this process, what can be used for a small amount of money?

As a result, at this juncture, Ning Xiaodong, who was partnering with him, suddenly withdrew funds to engage in an air transport company, and now Luan Heping was even less capable of upgrading the industry, so he could only continue to silently make up for it and make hard-earned money.

It wasn't until Zhuang Jianye's 650 million funds were smashed down that Luan Heping regained the confidence to complete the industrial upgrading, and his confidence soon brought him a harvest, not long after Luan Heping announced that his electronic equipment factory was ready to enter the upstream semiconductor integrated circuit, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region of Asmael Company in the Netherlands came to the door and told Luan Heping very eagerly that as long as he wanted, Asmael Company would provide it with the latest PAS5500-type DUV lithography that can produce 198 nanometers at a price of 30 million yuan[ ] machine.
