Chapter 849; Drones to crack down on bandits
If AVIC Southwest wants to vigorously develop UAVs in the 90s, the route taken will definitely not be the Global Hawk route, that thing is too high-end, and in addition to the US imperialism in the world, you have no other countries that need this kind of high-altitude strategic unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, including the Republic.

Since there is no customer who needs such a thing as Global Hawk, then if this kind of thing is developed now, it will definitely only be a loss, then this kind of thing must not be done, in this case, it is necessary to change the development thinking, in-depth development and implementation of the environment-friendly green economy, and take another development path may be better.
Leaning on the big bed at home, this should be the first time Yang Hui tried to talk about work problems in this environment: "We have accumulated a lot of experience in the "Artillery Reconnaissance-1" UAV project, and the remote control of the UAV, ground target reconnaissance, and situational perception have been studied, but we should not need to continue to develop UAVs with better reconnaissance capabilities. ”
Add ground attack capabilities to UAVs, which is almost a bad idea after 2000, but in the 90s, Yang Hui is now in 94 years, except for the United States at this time began the development of the MQ-1 Predator reconnaissance and combat UAV predecessor, there is no UAV project with the same combat requirements in the world.
And even at this time, the MQ-1 UAV is still an extremely vague concept in the idea of armed ground attack, and even the number of the MQ-1 UAV at this time is still hung with the RQ name of the reconnaissance UAV, which will not be until 2002, when the US imperialists will give the RQ-1 armed ground attack capability, so the Chada UAV in the nineties can even be said to be in the embryonic state.
The last time the Republic of the Republic of the UAV development, that is also to see the United States in the MQ-1 Predator in Iraq, Afghanistan two wars shine, at this time the major OEMs began to carry out research and development work for the UAV, Pterodactyl, Rainbow two series of UAVs are typical.
And now after Yang Hui directly put forward the request to inspect and fight together, Yang Yue on the side was surprisingly not surprised, but still responded with vigor.
The whole person sat up on the ground and shook his messy hair: "Are you also optimistic about increasing the ground attack capability of the drone?" That's the best, I don't need to give you too much to explain, as early as two years ago, our UAV research team also conducted a lot of conceptual research on this aspect, thinking that UAVs will increase their ground attack capabilities in the future, and will definitely become the main equipment of the existence of the air force of small countries. ”
Fortunately, Yang Hui at this time is also well-informed enough, if you want to change to someone else, I am afraid that it will explode directly, the UAV of this year is definitely a symbol of high technology, only the real big countries will develop and equip this kind of aircraft, small countries are using toucan turbo training aircraft to maintain the regular existence of the Air Force and ground attack, and a little further is to equip some second-generation aircraft, which can be regarded as having a certain sense of existence.
But when it comes to drones, if you put this kind of thing in front of the air force of a small country these days, they will subconsciously think that this thing is too high-end, and it is not that they can play around, and this idea is mainly due to the fact that drones have become quite mysterious under the rendering of major powers.
Yang Hui from after 2010 is different, this guy has seen with his own eyes how the Republic has made this drone market a cabbage price, and since then the mystery created by the United States for many years has been stripped of his underwear, and the drone has been sold all over the world in one step.
Especially the rainbow series of UAVs, which are from Myanmar in Southeast Asia, to Pakistan in South Asia, to xxx stan in Central Asia, Iraq, Qatar, and finally to the black uncles in Africa, this guy can definitely be regarded as a generation of famous aircraft in the UAV, and the same level of pterosaur UAV, which is also exported to Saudi Arabia, XX Stan and other countries.
What's even more shameless is that the republic can not only sell finished drones, but as long as you have the money, you can also sell them together with the production line, and the degree of madness makes drone manufacturers all over the world cry without tears. Therefore, it is normal for drones to fly into ordinary small and poor countries.
"Is it sold to small countries for use in ground attacks? How did you think of this, let me hear it, if the plan is feasible, our company needs to start the development of the system in advance. ”
Although Yang Hui knows that the future of UAVs is indeed a combination of investigation and fighting, at this time, AVIC Southwest is ready to dare to be the first in the world in the 90s, and even to carry out research in this area before the United States, so Yang Hui's golden finger is absolutely not enough.
As an original design, this is certainly not as convenient as when AVIC Southwest was developing aircraft in the past, and the fighter aircraft industry in the field of manned aircraft has the United States to explore in front and determine the design benchmark, so the Republic can naturally design purposefully.
But as Yang Wei, the previous chief engineer of the J-20, said: "In the era of the J-20, the Republic basically equaled the same level with the United States in the design of military fighters, and this also means that the follow-up fighter development needs the Republic itself to carry out research on new technologies and new concepts, which is the biggest obstacle in the development of new weapons, and it should be known that the F-22 project has spent a full decade in this stage for research and demonstration." ”
There are countless cases of equipment research and development failures caused by the wrong definition of technical and tactical indicators and combat missions for the next generation of equipment, and the most typical ones are still the MiG-1.44 and Su-47 aircraft, which failed miserably.
In view of this situation, I heard that the company's UAV project department has carried out long-term conceptual design and research on the UAV, which makes Yang Hui happy at the same time some last worries, it is for this reason that it is more necessary to listen to the design positioning of the UAV project department.
Yang Hui put on a look of listening very carefully, and the two of them entered the state: "This inspection and combat integrated drone, but also to talk about the inspiration we got from an exchange with Hongdu a few years ago, when Hongdu complained that Embraer's toucan trainer has excellent multi-purpose ground attack capabilities, so it snatched a lot of aircraft orders that originally belonged to the L-8 level." At that time, we came to the conclusion that the small country increasingly needed a very low-end ground attack aircraft, but Hongdu did not have the energy to develop such a turbo ground attack aircraft. ”
Seeing Yang Yue slowly recount the most important point of the commercialization project in her memories: discovering the market. At this time, Yang Hui absolutely agreed with this point of view, and the success of toucano and the rapid development and growth of the follow-up super toucan are enough to show that the market has great potential and is also worthy of the attention of aircraft manufacturers.
