Since it is a surveillance system for the entire Amazon basin, if it is only to use early warning aircraft to direct toucans and helicopters to patrol, this will certainly not be enough, and perhaps if the information processing capability of the early warning aircraft is strong enough, it will also have a good monitoring capability for cars on the ground and inland river ships in the waters.

However, these capabilities are far from sufficient, and the monitoring requirements for the entire Amazon basin are not only required to monitor various human crimes and smuggling activities, but also to take into account that the entire Amazon basin is the world's largest tropical rainforest area, and the annual hydrological changes of the Amazon rainforest, which has the title of the lungs of the earth, are definitely the focus of the entire Amazon surveillance system.

The follow-up is not only the monitoring of hydrological changes, the monitoring of rainforest coverage area, and even the temperature changes in different regions, etc., it is necessary to monitor and summarize the data, and in order to achieve the above functions, it is necessary to come up with another big killer weapon in the southwest of AVIC: the patrol drone installed with remote sensing system payload.

As the fastest reconnaissance type in the initial planned UAV project, the Navy's Cruiser has already achieved the first flight of the aircraft a long time ago, and it is expected to be finalized and delivered in 95 years.

Now the entire remote sensing system of the sea patrol has been developed by the domestic aerospace system, and the flight test work is also being carried out, and the land and resources department in the Republic has given the order to AVIC Southwest, and Yang Hui never expected that this trip to Brazil will have the opportunity to pull orders from Brazil, and I believe that relying on the ability of the unmanned remote sensing system, there is no doubt that it will win the order from Brazil.

....

The person in charge of the Brazilian army is nominally responsible for the construction of the entire project system, but as a dual-use project cooperated by the Brazilian government and the army, and now the Brazilian army is sending a person in charge to promote the project, this guy's ass must be biased towards the Brazilian army, so there is no need to worry.

So when I heard Yang Hui talk about the aerial remote sensing tracking and control aircraft that is not too much to do with the military, he also subconsciously showed impatience: "This demand is indeed there, but before that, we have roughly set a plan to modify the EMB-145 platform, and the aircraft is still very good after installing the remote sensing system, so we should not need to continue to talk about this aspect, the entire Amazon surveillance system has limited funds for construction, and I am not willing to spend too much energy and resources on it." ”

At this time, the entire project is only a little funded, and the Brazilian army must find a way to tilt as many resources as possible to the military side, which should be the fundamental reason why the airborne remote sensing system mentioned by Yang Hui is not very interested.

But now! The whole situation is different, since the project leader from the Brazilian army is trying his best to use the project funds for the construction of military capabilities, then the plan brought by Yang Hui is what he must pay attention to, you must know that a piston powered UAV of more than one ton is compared with a turbofan-powered manned aircraft of more than ten tons, in terms of purchase price, life cycle use cost, personnel logistics and maintenance, I am afraid it is a world of difference.

In this case, the UAV from AVIC Southwest is fully capable of ensuring that the previously planned EMB-145 remote sensing and control aircraft will be squeezed out, as for where some of the funds saved for Brazil will be used after the EMB-145 is squeezed out, there is no doubt about this.

"It is precisely because I understand the current situation that I brought the remote sensing and control aircraft of AVIC Southwest, and the aircraft model I brought compared to the previous EMB145 improvement plan, it can greatly save costs, and the saved funds can at least ensure the purchase of another AWACS aircraft, so I think this should be very necessary to hear, right?"

Before, it was because I didn't think it was necessary, so I rejected Yang Hui's proposal to see if it was a plan brought by AVIC Southwest, but now it's different, the plan from AVIC Southwest can actually ensure a significant reduction in procurement and manufacturing costs, and the attitude before and after must be a 180-degree change!

"According to what you say, it is very necessary to listen to your plan now, as long as we can ensure that we can meet the most basic requirements for remote sensing and control, and the saved funds are enough to buy another early warning aircraft, I will do it according to your plan, and now I will talk about your plan, and I will listen to whether it is feasible."

Being able to accept this proposal, Yang Hui knows that this is entirely because it can save a lot of money, so as long as the price of this remote sensing tracking and control aircraft is not too high, in fact, there will be no problems, and it can even be regarded as nine out of ten.

Only then did he come up with an unfathomable plan: "It's actually quite simple to say, this is an improved UAV, we have developed a medium-altitude long-endurance UAV in AVIC Southwest, its load capacity is enough to install airborne remote sensing measurement and control equipment, the purchase cost of the UAV is not even 30% of EMB-145, and the maintenance cost will be cheaper in the later stage, plus there is no hard requirement for pilots, we can guarantee that we can greatly reduce the procurement cost in this regard, So it is not a problem at all to squeeze out an AWACS aircraft in it. ”

Yang Hui has roughly calculated, the last face Brazil purchased a total of three EMB-145 modified remote sensing and control aircraft, this plane is probably the same, as for the question of whether it will be necessary to purchase a few more after replacing with UAVs, this Yang Hui feels that it is completely unnecessary, and it is enough to ensure the scale of three UAVs, which does not need to maintain a huge fleet.

Although this is only a civilian model, and the number of purchases is still amazing, I believe that this will be a very good start, and there may be other countries that need to purchase this kind of civilian aircraft that seems to have no military potential in the future.

As for why Yang Hui didn't sell more, such as using this Chada integrated drone to top off the status of the toucan's patrol aircraft, this needs to involve some other issues and, for example, this needs to take into account that it is now a local battle in Brazil, and it is still the meat that Embraer has already sandwiched into the bowl.

The EMB-145 is almost the same as being pushed out of the Amazon surveillance system project, and it can't be too greedy, and this time the reconnaissance and combat integrated UAV can only quickly complete the development of the reconnaissance type, and the ground attack type may have to wait for a few more years, and the Brazilian government and army may not be able to have this patience.
