"Mr. Yang, I hope to be able to provide you with more simulation training business in China, I don't know what your opinion is?"

During the inspection of Huaxing Thales Avionics Company, Patrice Kane said to Yang Jie.

"We also want to grow with the Thales group of companies. ”

Yang Jie said: "I hope that we can also cooperate in helicopter simulation training in the future, and can provide us with an advanced intelligent simulation cockpit platform in China." ”

With the boom of the domestic aviation industry, the country needs almost hundreds of thousands of pilots in ten years, and now the country can train only a few thousand pilots every year.

The Civil Aviation Administration's training institutions can only train 100 pilots a year, and there are almost a dozen flight schools in China that train very few pilots every year, and foreign institutions are also working with domestic aviation companies to prepare to provide new courses for trainees that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At present, the tuition fee for training a pilot in China is more than 500,000 yuan, but there are still more and more young people who also want to learn to fly an airplane in order to get a position in a general aviation company.

At present, the salary of pilots in China is very good, but the number of people receiving flight training has increased significantly, and many companies are also eager to try, thinking that they will profit from it, and flight students are also convinced that they will be able to pursue their dream careers.

Such a huge gap also makes the flight training market very hot.

Nowadays, the training of pilots is basically a simulated flight training, and many of them need to accumulate 2,700 hours from entering the airline after graduating from aviation school to the captain, which basically takes 5 years or even longer.

It is a very large expense to train 90 pilots to integrate fuel, aviation materials, and technical support, and if all of them are trained by airplanes, it will almost consume several planes and dozens of engines, and it is impossible to really let the planes simulate major failures.

A pilot may have flown for several years without encountering a single tail rotor failure, and when the failure does occur, the decision is often in the minutes and seconds, and the slightest panic in response can cause serious consequences.

Difficult piloting, coupled with the challenge of environmental factors, requires pilots to practice a variety of exquisite techniques and accumulate rich experience in their usual training, so that they can easily and deal with them in steep plateaus and difficult mountainous areas.

If real aircraft are used for training, it is obviously impossible to cover so many scenarios, and it is not in line with the principle of cost saving for managers to make passenger planes that often cost hundreds of millions of passengers easily involved in danger when they are not on mission.

It is precisely because of the various limitations of real aircraft drills that in the field of civil aviation passenger aircraft, Boeing, Airbus and other companies have long included simulators in routine training.

Yang Jie also hopes that domestic pilots can and can enjoy a highly realistic simulation environment, which greatly saves the cost of domestic flight training, and at the same time allows pilots to train longer and shorten the entire training time.

Foreign simulators can be produced including CAE, L-3, FSI, Thales Group of Companies, these simulator manufacturers need to pay Boeing, Airbus and other foundries high intellectual property fees, mainly data packages and manufacturer licensing fees, each built will charge a fee, the more new models of simulators this part of the cost of the total cost of the simulator accounted for the higher the proportion of the total cost of the simulator.

In fact, Thales Group accounts for a small proportion of the world's simulator market, and now Patles Kane values the rabbit domestic market, and domestic local aircraft manufacturers are also rising rapidly, so they want to have deeper cooperation with Huaxing Group.

These domestic aircraft manufacturers will not be as high as Boeing and Airbus to collect such high intellectual property fees, and the relationship between Huaxing Group and these manufacturers is very close, and Thales Group is also very clear about this.

Within the simulator family, there are different levels depending on the technology used and the degree of realism in operation.

According to ICAO regulations, the highest level is D, which is the closest to real flight, and can basically completely replace real aircraft for pilot training.

Yang Jie also hopes to cooperate with Thales to develop this level of simulator simulation training, Airbus is good at flight training for most domestic models.

Patles Kane naturally agreed with Huaxing Group's proposal for such a research and development project, and he also expressed his appreciation for the joint venture's marketing plan to lease business to training institutions and airlines.

The next day, representatives of the Thales Group also visited the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company, and Patles Kane specially inspected the production workshops of civilian submersibles and deep-water submersibles.

Now civil submersibles have become an important business of Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company, many wealthy people have regarded civilian submersibles as new toys, and many tourism companies are purchasing different types of submersibles as a diving project.

Patles Kane also sincerely admires Yang Jie's ability to use mature technology to open up new markets, and Honghu Shipbuilding Group is the best company in civil submersibles at this stage.

"Mr. Kane, I know that Thales Group has deep experience in sonar system technology, and Honghu Shipbuilding Group is now also developing deeper submersibles that require high-precision sonar detection and imaging systems, and if I can, I also hope that the two parties will establish a joint venture to develop this system. ”

Yang Jie looked at Patles Kane and said.

"Mr. Yang, we can provide you with a sonar detection imaging system. ”

Patrice Kane said.

"Mr. Kane, the sonar system is very similar to the radar system, I believe you also know the technical strength of our Huaxing Group in communication radar, I believe that if we cooperate, we can develop a very advanced sonar detection system. ”

Yang Jie said.

In fact, there is no problem in developing a sonar system according to the hardware technical capabilities of Huaxing Group, but the key is that Huaxing Group lacks research experience in underwater acoustic waveform design and algorithm design.

The domestic sonar technology comes from Da Mao, and Da Mao's technology is originally weaker than these Western countries, and now China is also closely following the international cutting-edge technology in this area to carry out technical research, and the West is also out of a blockade of this technology.

In the early 90s of the last century, Eagle Sauce put forward the plan of "rapid embedding of commercial acoustic technology", and gradually applied open architecture and commercialized products and technologies on the Navy sonar system, Eagle Sauce Navy used various products and technologies on the market to integrate the required sonar system, and adopted the "multi-function processor middleware" technology to separate the application software from the underlying hardware to ensure the "plug and play" of the hardware and software portability, and submarine forces can regularly update hardware and software without affecting daily training and combat readiness operations.

That is to say, the hardware of the current sonar system can be bought, but how to maximize the efficiency of these integrated hardware devices depends on which sonar signal processing algorithm in the application software is better.

This model is now being adopted in Western countries.

The Thales Group of Companies has developed a "map of the seabed" system that provides a high-resolution sustained map of the sea through towed synthetic aperture sonar on a vessel operating at sea.

The synthesis system includes an offshore vessel that uses towed sonar to provide a high-quality map of the seafloor and unfold a real-time imaging chain to continuously monitor the underwater environment.

The offshore vessel is also equipped with a fully automated system for activating and resuming towing sonar, as well as a mission plan analysis system. The system can cover 3 square kilometers per hour at 8 nautical miles and can operate in wave class 4 environments.

The system helps the maritime sector to monitor vulnerable areas: shipping routes, straits, sea lanes, access to ports and naval bases, and near offshore loading equipment.

This is mainly the leading enterprise of the European naval system jointly established by the Thales Group and the state-owned shipbuilding enterprises in Gaul Chicken, in which Thales holds a 25% stake, and naturally has a very deep foundation in sonar systems.

"Mr. Yang, if you can agree to cooperate in the research and development of unmanned aerial systems, I believe that the board of directors of the group company should agree to your request. ”

Patles Kane looked at Yang Jie deeply at this time and said.
