Chapter 290: Assessment
Yang Lin was wrapped in a thick military coat and a military cotton hat on his head, and Han Rushan, Wang Tao, Jiao Jiuming, Liu Weijie, Fan Qichen, Yang Jiaming and others were also dressed in the same attire as him, and the group stood on the roof of the monitoring center of the Baicheng base.
Not far away, you can see a dull desert, the withered yellow weeds are covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and a trace of snow can be faintly seen.
DJI engineers, who are also wrapped in thick cotton coats, are on the rooftop to do the final inspection of the twelve Shadow drones before they take off.
With a radius of ten kilometers and a total area of 314 square kilometers, it is a challenge to find an armored combat detachment in such a vast area, even for tactical drones equipped with brigade-level units of the army, not to mention that the endurance of the "Shadow" is only one and a half hours.
Therefore, DJI engineers responded by using multiple simultaneous searches.
This is the unique skill of the "Shadow" drone.
In fact, the current intelligence level of human military UAVs is quite low, even if the UAV is flying in formation like a manned aircraft, it cannot be done.
Neuron drones, which have been developed in cooperation with European countries for many years, can only fly in formation with manned aircraft, which is one of the reasons why drones can only be referred to on trucks during military parades in various countries.
But the "Shadow" drone is different.
Due to the use of an intelligent control system, these twelve UAVs can be divided and carried out at the same time during the search, ensuring that every corner of the mission area is not missed while not repeating the search, and its difficulty is even higher than that of formation flight.
Of course, this is also the same as the small size of the "Shadow" drone. It is also lightweight, and Yang Lin provides a highly efficient intelligent control system.
The twelve Shadow drones quickly completed all preparations before takeoff, and the rotors of the Shadow began to spin at high speed. A low "buzzing" sound is emitted.
Soon, the first, the second, the third, the fourth...... Drones took off one after another.
In the eyes of everyone, the twelve drones completed the lift-off and flew towards the designated mission area.
It wasn't until the twelve drones all disappeared from people's field of vision that Fan Qichen smiled and said, "Chiefs, let's go back to the monitoring center to see!" ”
"It's good!" Yang Lin, Han Rushan and the others nodded with a smile, and left the rooftop while laughing.
The twelve drones do not require human control while flying. Everything is controlled by an artificial intelligence program on the aircraft.
All they have to do is send the footage they capture back to the ground control center in real time, even if the data transmission is interrupted by electromagnetic interference. Intelligencers can also wait for the drone to return to the aircraft and obtain information by reading the footage recorded on the SD card.
Of course, these drones can also determine suspected targets on their own for intelligence interpreters.
Yang Lin: When they returned to the command and control center. Staff at the Baicheng base are monitoring the footage transmitted by the drone in real time.
Yang Lin: They sat down in the observation seats. Wait for the next hour and a half of search results.
The minutes passed, and the half hour passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.
There is no special discovery in the pictures sent back by these twelve drones, and the monitoring personnel at the scene talk to each other from time to time.
In their opinion, the military's assessment of how many times they love you this time is too strict.
In such a large area, use micro-UAVs to find hidden armored detachments. It's almost an impossible task.
And it's about to get dark, even if the Shadow drone is equipped with an infrared camera. But if the armored car does not turn on the engine and does not have a heat source, the difficulty rises to a higher level than during the day.
Han Rushan, Jiao Jiuming and Liu Weijie, who know the inside story, are silent, in fact, the assessment criteria for the "Shadow" drone were put forward by DJI itself, and they were a little surprised when they saw such assessment indicators.
If the "Shadow" UAV can really reach this level, it can almost be regarded as a multiplier of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army, and large-scale deployment of troops is not a problem at all.
Of course, they also had a trace of doubt in their hearts about whether the Shadow Drone could meet the design indicators, but seeing Yang Lin and Wang Tao looking confident, they couldn't help but look forward to it a little more.
Just when everyone was thinking about it, the monitoring center suddenly issued a ticking warning sound, and then an electronic sound sounded: "No. 7 drone found a suspected target!" ”
A red coordinate point is quickly marked on the map.
But this discovery was just the beginning, and in the following twenty minutes, Didi's warning sound sounded in the monitoring hall from time to time.
"Drone No. 5 found a suspected target!"
"Drone No. 10 found a suspected target!"
"Drone No. 3 found a suspected target!"
"Six, regardless of the suspected target he finds!"
……
As the goals were marked one after another, the tense atmosphere at the scene gradually relaxed.
Although Fan Qichen, the director of the test center, knew the coordinates of these armored targets, he did not immediately announce the answer and compare it with the coordinates found by the drone.
All this will have to wait until the twelve drones have successfully returned home.
An hour and twenty minutes passed imperceptibly, and the battery consumption of each drone reached its last moment.
It didn't take long for the DJI engineers left behind on the rooftop to hear the news that all the drones had returned smoothly, and everyone in the monitoring hall breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, everything is not over yet, Fan Qichen, director of the Baicheng Test Base, walked to the speaker of the monitoring center with a sealed envelope, and said with a smile: "Leaders, comrades, hello everyone! The test assessment of the Shadow Drone has been basically completed today, and the answer is in this envelope in my hand furnace, and I will announce the test results below......"
Fan Qichen opened the envelope, compared the answer with the coordinate point of the drone on the big screen, and couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face, he said: "In this reconnaissance assessment, the base has set up a total of fifteen armored targets in the mission area, of which twelve are true targets and three are false targets, and the shadow drone formation has found a total of thirteen targets, of which eleven are true targets and two are false targets, and the success rate of target discovery is more than 90 percent, which has basically met the needs of our army's company-level flight reconnaissance. It is of great significance to the reform of the military system of China's army and the construction of information technology. ”
As soon as Fan Qichen's words fell, the scene was suddenly quiet, and then, a burst of warm applause suddenly rang out. (To be continued.) )
