Chapter 218: See Takeoff Aviation Again

Originally, all this went well, and the technical strength of the Israeli IAA company is generally much stronger than that of the Ascendas plant, after all, in addition to the UAV business, IAA has also made great achievements in avionics systems, and the capacity of the Ascendas plant in this regard is almost zero.

Therefore, the cooperation between Company H and IAA is not only a complementary advantage, but also a strong alliance.

As for Tengfei thought that it could protect its product patents, Company H did not pay attention to it at all, IAA's level of aerodynamics is not bad, according to the TY-2 UAV platform with slight changes, not only can perfectly avoid the patent restrictions of Tengfei factory, maybe the performance is better than TY-2.

Coupled with the ability to integrate the avionics system that Company H has trained through the bidding of the Ministry of Justice, a tactical reconnaissance aircraft of the Army is really not a problem.

However, just when Company H was holding the new horse boy and preparing to make a big move, the Army Equipment Procurement Bureau suddenly sent a new product project specification to Company H.

It is hoped that Company H can increase the mission radius and endurance time on the basis of the original "Pioneer" UAV, and greatly improve the technical level of the avionics system, so that it can be connected with the latest C3I joint combat command system of the US military, so as to share front-line reconnaissance information with the joint combat forces of the Air Force, Marine Corps, and even naval support ships on the future battlefield.

Improving the technical level of the avionics system, Company H is not worried, after all, this part is what they are best at, coupled with the fact that advanced computer and communication equipment abound in the United States, Company H's methods are really not too much.

The problem is that increasing the mission radius and endurance time can make Company H a little blind, you must know that the new parameters of the US Army require the "Pioneer" UAV to have a mission radius of 1,200 kilometers, and the endurance time should be no less than 15 hours.

The Discovery-1 UAV has a endurance of only 5 hours and a mission radius of more than 240 kilometers, and the new requirements of the army are equivalent to increasing the indicators of the Discovery-1 UAV several times.

This is difficult for Company H, although they have the detailed data of the take-off factory drone platform in their hands, but the aircraft is by no means a simple zoom or zoom can solve the problem.

If it were so simple, there would be no need for the United States to spend a lot of money to build the Boeing 747, and it would be nice to find a few people to make an enlarged version of the C47.

Because of this, Liszt, who got the news, contacted the army procurement department as soon as possible, and told him about the difficulties encountered by Company H, hoping that the army could give him more time.

But the army didn't buy it at all, and directly told Liszt that if Company H couldn't do it, they would transfer it to other contractors, after all, the C3I joint operations command system was not the only one involved in the army, but the air force, navy, and marines all had a part.

Under the mutual communication of several companies, the army's tactical reconnaissance drones are really not a problem, and there are not too many arms giants in charge of contracting, and any one can get a good drone platform, the only trouble is that the army needs to wait for a while.

Once this advantage is gone, Company H is nothing in front of other arms giants, and there is no need for the Army to continue to cooperate, because the Army and giants like General Motors, Chrysler, and Lockheed are long-term communities of interest.

Although Company H is excellent, there are simply not too many such small ants in the United States, and if there are no unique advantages, the army really doesn't bother to take a look.

Liszt naturally knows this about himself, in front of other giants, Company H really can't even count as a mosquito leg, and because of this, they attach great importance to the army's orders.

This is not only because Company H can gain a firm foothold in the aviation industry with many giants in the United States, but also because it can also sit on the throne of the first brother in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles in the United States, which is too important for the future development of Company H.

You must know that several major aviation manufacturing giants in the United States are still staring at manned aircraft, pinching each other and causing a life, but there is no special attention in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, which makes Company H see an opportunity to develop and grow in the cracks.

The Army's order also proves the correctness of this path, and at the same time, it also makes other giants slightly reminisce, if Company H loses its first-mover advantage, loses the Army's order, and realizes that the drone cake is delicious, the giants will be able to turn Company H into scum.

So Liszt, who got the attitude of the army, didn't care about anything else, flew to Israel overnight, went to the IAA company in the name of signing the transfer of the UAV production line, and inadvertently asked them if there was a way to extend the mission radius and endurance of the "Pioneer" UAV.

The IAA's response was the same as the previous statement to the U.S. Army, which was 6 to 10 years.

Liszt was not reconciled, and used other methods to privately ask the core technical staff of IAA, and the answer was still 6 to 10 years.

Liszt's mood is the same as that of the original U.S. Army, it is similar to a Japanese dog, 6 to 10 years, the fruit salad is TM cold, and you still want your drone to dry the hair?

Of course, Liszt didn't tell the Israelis in his heart, after all, the drone production line is about to be shipped, and several patented technologies are also being delivered.

So Liszt returned to China quietly, waving a lot of money, hoping to buy time with money, and on the other hand, he hurriedly reported the situation to Lindemann, the boss behind the scenes, so that the well-connected old man could come up with ideas.

The problem is that some things can't be bought by money at all, money Liszt has, but even he doesn't know how much it can do, but at this time Lindemann was still in Chicago to participate in the fundraising activities of several councilors, Liszt didn't even have a person to consult, so the cunning Liszt finally had no curse this time, and sat in the office biting his tie and grabbing his hair.

"Knock~~Knock~~"

Just as Liszt was sitting in his office chair, biting his tie and grasping his hair, looking at the street scene outside through the blinds, thinking about whether he should expand into the international market if he couldn't get through this difficulty, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Liszt came in without a good voice, and saw Owen walking in with two books in his hand, and immediately walked opposite Liszt, and said to Liszt very solemnly: "Sir, is the $10,000 clue bounty you offered real?"

Liszt's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Owen, do you have a clue?"

"Yes, sir, look at this, Zhuang gave me the "Takeoff Aviation"!" Owen said and handed two beautifully printed English editions of the "Takeoff Aviation" magazine to Liszt, who was sitting opposite Liszt, looked at the two magazines in front of him, and his face twitched a few times unconsciously, only feeling how stiff and stiff he was.
