Chapter 1064: This forced pretend has depth
The relationship between the UAE and the Strait of Hormuz, just as Singapore is attached to Malacca, has reached a very close level, and any problems in the Strait of Hormuz will be a huge blow to the oil trade of the UAE and even the entire Gulf countries. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The experience of the Iran-Iraq attack war shows that even civilian ships are all kinds of dangers in the Persian Gulf, not to mention the already poor state relations between the UAE and Iran, coupled with deep-seated reasons such as territorial disputes and sectarian differences, the UAE is definitely in need of medium-altitude long-endurance drones such as sea cruisers.
Yang Hui has not yet discovered this potential market at this time, but the UAE out of the need for its own national defense and security, for the patrol of the UAV with special operations capabilities, at the first time keenly felt that this thing is related to the UAE, and now the UAE needs this aircraft very much.
"Reconnaissance drones? And this thing is also capable of 24-hour uninterrupted area monitoring? So in the Strait of Hormuz, in the waters of the Persian Gulf, it will also be able to achieve these capabilities? ”
Yang Hui didn't think of the UAE's demand for sea cruiser drones before, which is indeed forgivable, but now after the UAE has taken the initiative to put forward relevant requirements, if Yang Hui can't seize the opportunity, then he won't live, and now this situation is obviously the rhythm of another big order!
So for the potential demand of the United Arab Emirates, Yang Hui subconsciously thought of the previous Brazilian Yasun surveillance horse system, the two have almost similar practical needs, but the Brazilian side tends to be more civilian, and the UAE side is relatively more military, but these are not big problems, they can be solved.
"The UAE needs to monitor the entire Persian Gulf waters, this requirement is actually very easy to do, but the patrol UAV alone can not guarantee all the use requirements, in fact, the UAE needs a complete set of surveillance system, in addition to intelligence surveillance, the need for overall scheduling and data processing, but also need special emergency response capabilities, and in view of the UAE's labor costs, the whole system also needs a high degree of automation and unmanned."
The UAE's demand for monitoring the Persian Gulf is definitely not a whim of a day or two, but it is definitely not a simple matter to have this complete set of capabilities, which needs to involve the entire environmental monitoring, data analysis, command and processing, etc., at least the current UAE is unlikely to have this ability to complete the construction and integration of the entire system, and now after Yang raised this question, it is finally the first time to have the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds.
This group of camels also nodded violently, and after thinking about it, they almost said in unison: "That's right, that's what it means!" ”
"What we want is this ability to monitor the entire Persian Gulf waters, which will be of great help to us in maintaining the security of the Persian Gulf, the world's busiest maritime area.
In these years, if you are not careful, you can get a big project, Yang Hui doesn't even have to think much to know that the money to be spent on the completion of this system will definitely not be less, and this is another multi-billion super dual-use project, this time must not be missed.
"We do have a certain amount of research in this area, if the UAE needs, we can come up with a surveillance/rapid response system construction plan for the Persian Gulf waters within two months, which will be a system that involves 24-hour uninterrupted patrol of drones, and a highly automated system for drone data processing by the ground processing center, and once there is a problem, the system requires that the law enforcement force can arrive at the scene within 20 minutes."
For the rapid response system, the requirement of 20 minutes is not a high index, anyway, as long as you are willing to invest enough money, there is nothing that cannot be done, the question is just how much money AVIC can make in this complete set of system construction, and how much hardware can be provided for system construction.
Needless to say, the software first, the hardware design, this whole system is absolutely indispensable for the procurement of sea patrol UAVs, and to realize the monitoring of the entire Persian Gulf waters, if there are no dozens of aircraft, it is definitely not enough, and then the data processing and command center, that thing can be directly enlarged and modified by the early warning command system of the air police 100.
But others, such as the large helicopter needed for accident emergency treatment, although AVIC Southwest has a straight 18 helicopter under development can be used, but on the current reputation of the straight 18, presumably the local tyrant will not be willing to spend money on procurement, which is not to say that Yang Hui dislikes his own children, but to say that the current fact is that the helicopter design, procurement, and logistics support level of Western European and American countries are too competitive, and the UAE wants the reliability of the entire system. It's not just to be a guinea pig for AVIC Southwest.
After all, the military shipbuilding industry of the republic is not all mixed with the low-end industrial chain, and there is still no big problem in designing and building some high-speed patrol boats of hundreds or thousands of tons.
"Twenty minutes? This is indeed a very good data, but we hope that this system can continue to be upgraded to improve the efficiency and speed of emergency response, if it can shorten the time to the single digits, it should be the best, the most ideal situation, the current twenty minutes, this is only a temporary indicator. ”
Hearing this, Yang Hui understood that this situation should be a drama: "Please rest assured, the follow-up upgrade and development potential of the whole system must be guaranteed, we can't just do a one-rod deal, in the future, we hope to continue to expand the scope in all aspects, and now we will go all out to do a good job in every project." ”
As he spoke, the Cruiser drone in the distance had successfully landed, and there was no relevant ground crew at the landing site to assist in retrieving the drone, and the drone was autonomously taxiing back to the hangar under the control of a remote-controlled pilot a few kilometers away.
Therefore, the most likely item tested now is the take-off and landing ability of the aircraft in the front-line drone field, which actually does not have much combat significance, but inadvertently as a pretending project, the effect is definitely a full score. (To be continued.) )
