It's really more and more joyful, the more I listen, the more happy I am, it turns out that the drone is a toy-like little thing can also be used in this way, this AVIC Southwest is simply playing in the aviation industry, if the so-called inspection and combat drone can really be developed, the problems faced by Nanhai can be effectively solved, and the problems from then on will not be a problem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And when I thought that the problem complained about by Nanhai before could be solved, I finally couldn't help it, it was simply a typical example of drowsy to send pillows.

"Are you sure this design indicator can be accomplished? Now if it can really be determined, then I will ask the Navy to immediately organize personnel to conduct relevant research, as soon as possible to determine the technical and tactical indicators and other requirements of the aircraft, and this project I think is also promising, Nanhai just needs it now, now you have to immediately start the pre-research work of related technologies, as long as the project here is decided, you have to come up with the design as soon as possible, and this is really a big problem for our Navy. ”

Although Yang Hui also knew that the UAV must be of great use in the Nanhai area, but he really didn't expect that the reaction of the Navy after hearing about this thing would be so intense, it seems that this time it is really the right one, at least the UAV in the Republic already has the three elements of time, place, people and people, and it will depend on the comprehensive design and integration capabilities of the project department in the future.

As for how many drones will be purchased by the navy in the future, Yang Hui doesn't even have to think about it to know that the number of purchases by the navy will definitely not be less than 50, after all, as long as the performance in Nanhai is good, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, which also need to often brush up their presence, will definitely need this reconnaissance and combat integrated UAV.

At least before 2000, before the U.S. military made the Predator UAV famous, let the Chada UAV be deployed to the coast of the Republic for regular patrols, and the surrounding countries at this time naturally did not expect the Chada UAV to be so awesome.

And once the republic's drone patrols become normalized, even if the U.S. military in Iraq after 2000 played with the integrated drones, the countries around the republic could not say much.

Yang Hui, who knows this well, promised: "Of course there is no problem, we have not accumulated enough technology to pre-research before will not rush to start the project, now our UAV all aspects of the subsystem are in the final test, at most one year can be fully finalized, and the UAV development cycle is relatively short, about two years or so we can be finalized and delivered." ”

You want to say that it is an airplane, but the aerodynamic design of this thing is too simple, and its low thrust-to-weight ratio means that it is completely impossible to do too much maneuvering, so the flight test project of the aircraft is actually very simple.

In addition, this aircraft does not need to consider the problem of pilots, and the entire environmental control system designed around the pilot's life support directly says goodbye, and the development cycle of natural drones can be short, and the development cycle of propeller fighters in World War II is probably like this.

What's more, the MQ-1 Predator UAV is an example, the main project is that in January 1994, General Atomics received a "proof of concept" production contract from the "Defense Aerial Reconnaissance Office" to produce 10 "Predator" unmanned aerial vehicles that were still numbered RQ-1 at the time.

In July 1994, the first prototypes took to the skies, and at the beginning of the following year, they went straight into active service with the U.S. Air Force.

In July 1995, the U.S. Air Force sent three Predators to Albania to replace the CIA's Gnat-750 over Yugoslavia, and in March 1996, a group of aircraft flew from Hungary to Bosnia, which meant that the deployment of the second batch of RQ-1 Predators also began.

That's right, General Atomics got the project contract in January 94, half a year to let the first aircraft successfully fly into the sky, the whole time can be directly put into service in a year and a half, and this is the strength of the UAV in the design and manufacturing, as long as you aim at the needs of the project, there is no big problem in the subsystem technology, and the aircraft can be put into active service in about two years.

As soon as I heard that it would take less than two years to deliver the aircraft directly, and that it would also be able to form an initial combat capability in the army, this kind of good thing could not be better.

Then wait for two years, when the Nanhai side can have drones put into service, and then see how these small countries around are ready to move!

In fact, you can also cooperate with the government's land and resources survey, agriculture, forestry, and maritime departments, and your UAV platform should have great potential, and you only need to install different sensor loads to be able to do different things. For example, remote sensing detection systems, synthetic aperture radar, weather radar, etc., anyway, drones do not need pilots in the traditional sense, they should be acceptable, and they should be able to get the airworthiness certificate of the Civil Aviation Administration if they operate well. ”

I didn't expect Commander Zhang of the Navy to be so enthusiastic, and really helped AVIC Southwest think of so many UAVs to expand the scope of use, it seems that in the future, the Republic will really want to turn agriculture, forestry, maritime and other departments into paramilitary institutions, thinking about it is really exciting.

He responded with a smile on the other side of the phone: "Of course, we have also studied what the commander said, and soon contacted the relevant departments in China, as long as they have a basic order, I will develop the UAV for the application department." Even I believe that the Air Force and the Army will have some ideas about this drone, and we will export this aircraft in the future, which will definitely be able to replace the low-end trainer attack aircraft in operations similar to Sri Lanka's suppression of the rebels. ”

As soon as I heard that this aircraft was going to be ready for export, the navy subconsciously wanted to say no at first, but soon held back, at least AVIC Southwest wanted to sell this aircraft to the outside world, which definitely means that the development funds for this aircraft should be paid by AVIC Southwest itself, so the navy is naturally happy to spend its limited military spending on more needed places.

"This is a problem that you need to consider, and it should be okay to sell this kind of drone to the outside world, after all, there was no ban on the sale of drones in China before, and there is no such case even in the world, this is mainly because you need to look at it yourself!"

After notifying the navy in place, the rest is naturally the air force and the army, although it is not clear whether these two branches of the military are interested in the UAV, but this does not prevent Yang Hui from making a phone call to notify both sides, in case of this grass and rabbit, it is not impossible to really have an order, especially the army should be the most likely.
