Chapter 609: Drone Project!
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
Last time, in order to rescue Alice, the border guards relied on the tenacious will of both heels to kill this group of robbers, and they also caused a lot of casualties, but if the border guards had helicopters and advanced reconnaissance planes, these casualties could be reduced to a minimum, and the officers and soldiers would not have to work so hard.
This also made Yang Jie more determined to enter the military market with the most direct motivation.
Now the performance of the products trial-produced by Zhongyuan Automobile Company is very reliable, and the Sichuan-Tibet Military Region is very satisfied, which is the biggest praise for Yang Jie.
The next day, Yang Jie also personally operated the electric shock on the Bobcat terrain vehicle on the shooting range, and Gatling fired hundreds of bullets.
The multi-tube Gatling made a sound like a cloth being torn, and the sprayed bullets shattered the wooden target hundreds of meters away, and the bullets splashed clouds of smoke and dust on the ground next to them, and Yang Jie also cheered.
Compared with the traditional machine gun, the structure of the rotary tube machine gun is more complex, the assembly accuracy and manufacturing process requirements are also higher, each barrel of the rotary tube machine gun is equivalent to an independent machine gun, they work independently at the same time, but also cooperate with each other, take turns into the firing position.
In addition to the coordination between the barrels, the reliability of the ammunition feeding mechanism was also a major challenge in order to ensure a rate of fire of several thousand rounds per minute.
To this end, after obtaining the design drawings, the Machine Tool Research Institute also relied on the strength of materials and machining for many years, processed most of the parts and assembled prototypes.
Huaxing Group Co., Ltd. is first-class in the world in terms of precision machining, and the assembled Gatling is naturally very reliable.
The prototype was also sent to the North Group Company for rigorous testing, and successfully passed various tests, proving that this domestic version of Gatling has excellent performance, reliability and stability.
This Gatling is also certified by the military.
Although the Machine Tool Research Institute has made a lightweight treatment, the weight of this Gatling named Vulcan is still 19 kilograms, and it is still too heavy for individual carrying, and this guy consumes bullets too quickly, manpower can not support and has to carry a large amount of ammunition, and it can only be mounted on a light high-mobility platform, such as a light all-terrain vehicle like a Bobcat, a non-professional armed helicopter, and a high-speed maneuverable speedboat are very suitable platforms.
In the past, the army lacked such a weapon for fire suppression, so there was no choice, but now with such a weapon and equipment, it will naturally be used on many weapon platforms.
The Changhe Aviation Group Company ordered more than 50 sets of such weapons from the Zhongyuan Automobile Company to be installed on helicopters, and the price of each set was more than 150,000 yuan.
For example, the price of the Marauder of the Zhongyuan Automobile Company is more than 1.2 million yuan, and the price of the Bobcat all-terrain vehicle is more than 300,000 yuan, and the price is not particularly expensive, because there is no need for advertising and marketing expenses, and the profit earned by the Zhongyuan Automobile Company on this is maintained at 20 percent, and this price is also within the acceptable range of the troops.
Although it is said that the military's profits on armaments are limited to 10 percent when procuring, Huaxing Group has made use of a lot of mature technologies, especially the use of super steel, and the cost has been reduced by a large margin, and the profits are still considerable.
Yang Jie has never thought of making a fortune by relying on this to provide all kinds of reliable weapons and equipment to the domestic army and police force, and his goal is still in the overseas market, especially in those troubled areas, where the demand for this kind of weapons and equipment is very large.
Yang Jie's purpose has always been what customers need, what kind of products the company provides, and to dig out some potential markets in advance and lay out in advance.
Yang Jie is actually most interested in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and this multi-functional platform for non-contact combat with high efficiency is what he is most interested in, and building all-terrain armored vehicles is the normal operation of Zhongyuan Automobile Company to enter a market segment.
A few days later, Yang Jie appeared in a research and development center in Hongdu County, Hongdu, which was not far from Hongdu Aviation Group Company.
This UAV R&D center is a joint venture between Huaxing Group and Hongdu Aviation Group Co., Ltd., and there are more than 30 R&D personnel in the R&D center who are transferred from Hongdu Airlines to the technical backbone, Shiping Chief Engineer also served as the technical consultant of the R&D center, and Zhang Hong, the deputy chief designer, became the chief designer of the R&D center.
Shiping's energy is mainly focused on the research and development of new training aircraft, and he can't spare more time to design UAVs, and Zhang Hong, the deputy chief designer who has been assisting him, has been transferred to the R&D center to be responsible for the development of UAV projects.
Yang Jie wants to go on the UAV project, found Hongdu Aviation Group Company, Song Fuxiang is naturally unwanted, Huaxing Group Company gives a lot of R & D funds, although the management of R & D funds is very strict, but Hongdu Aviation Group Company is not short of technology, what is lacking is the funds.
Moreover, Huaxing Group is very good at market operations, R & D projects rarely miss, Hongdu Aviation Group can also take this opportunity to enter a new field in the field of UAVs, anyway, basically Huaxing Group Company pays, Hongdu Aviation Group will not lose anything.
In the R&D center, Yang Jie also saw a drone model that has been blown through the wind tunnel, this drone has very long wings, a slender fuselage, a drooping tail design, and two propellers under the wings.
According to the design, this Eagle UAV can be mounted with eight small missiles, guided bombs, integrated detection and fighting, using fuel cells and motor rotor systems, hanging bomb radius of 5,000 kilometers, maximum flight speed of 700 kilometers per hour, 36 hours of time in the air over the target, and a maximum endurance of 120 hours.
At the same time, the UAV will be equipped with optoelectronics, infrared, laser equipment, GPS navigation equipment, and synthetic aperture radar for all-weather reconnaissance and strike, which can automatically return home and land autonomously after the signal is contacted.
Yang Jie has very high requirements for the intelligence of this drone, and also requires the ground base station to be very easy to operate.
Hongdu Aviation Group is very powerful in aviation, pneumatics, machinery, and control systems, but Yang Jie's requirements are so high, and he has specially transferred a group of engineers in automation, machinery and electronics, information engineering, and microelectronics from various subsidiaries of Huaxing Group Company, and has gathered more than 200 technical elites for development.
After looking at the model, Yang Jie also came to the R&D department of the flight control system accompanied by Zhang Hong and others, and the R&D department also showed Yang Jie the flight controller module being designed.
The flight control system is the brain of the aircraft, and the flight, attitude change, take-off and landing and other functions of the aircraft are transmitted back to the flight control by a variety of sensors, and then the flight controller issues instructions through calculation and judgment, and the actuator completes the action and flight attitude adjustment.
This flight control system is developed on the basis of the mature avionics system of Hongdu Aviation Group Company, because the UAV has added the function of autonomous flight and remote control, so it is necessary to add the communication unit and autonomous flight program in the hardware part of the system, and there are still very few programmers proficient in this area in China, and the workload of the R & D department is still very large.
The R&D center is divided into more than 10 departments, which are responsible for the detection module, execution module and power supply module composition, power module, navigation module, weapon module, etc. of the Golden Eagle UAV.
The detection module realizes the measurement of the current attitude, which includes an inertial measurement unit, which is composed of a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis geomagnetic sensor and a barometer.
These high-precision electronic gyroscopes are provided by the Norwegian company Saint Snow, which has been developing micromechanical products and has extensive experience in research and development.
More than a year ago, Huaxing Group also acquired this company, and began to provide MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes and tire pressure sensors for Zhongyuan Automobile Company, a subsidiary of Huaxing Group, and is also developing optical image stabilization technology and mobile game sensors for Huaxing Communication Equipment Company's mobile phones and Aihua Technology Company's digital cameras.
Huaxing communication equipment company has now made the image sensor very small, and the company must also make the gyroscope smaller and stuff it into the camera module, and at the same time stick the gyroscope on the back of the sensor, detect the slight movement of the camera and transmit the signal to the microprocessor, calculate the displacement that needs to be compensated, and then adjust the position of the image sensor according to the direction and displacement of the lens to get a clear image.
Shengsino is still under research and development, and no samples have yet come out, but the gyroscope needed by the drone does not need to be so small, and the previously mature products can naturally be used.
