After explaining the work, Wu Hao's main purpose of coming to the Northwest Research Center this time was completed. But his work here is far from complete, and there is still a lot of work waiting for him. The Institute of Aeronautical Technology and UAV is the earliest scientific research team, laboratory and research institute established by Haoyu Technology. It can be said that Wu Hao and Zhang Jun both came out of this scientific research team.

Therefore, this research institute is also one of the most important and core key research institutes in the company.

Their research direction is in aviation technology, unmanned aerial vehicles, and swarm array control technology.

Previously, a series of the company's drone products came from this research institute, including the previous 'Wai Lai' large intelligent attack drone.

The institute itself is located in Anxi, but there are some projects that can't be experimented or carried out in Anxi, so it's put here, like an intelligent attack drone.

One of the purposes of Wu Hao's visit this time is to come here to inspect the progress of relevant research projects.

The person who came to receive him this time was Zhou Yonghui, the head of the research institute that Wu Hao was very familiar with, but relatively rare.

This is the old man of the company, and he also grew up with Wu Hao and them all the way. So the two were not polite when they met, and immediately put themselves into work after greeting each other.

How is the intelligent attack drone going, Wu Hao asked directly.

Zhou Yonghui nodded and said: "The progress is good, the Air Force likes it very much, and has urged it several times to let us speed up the progress." It is expected that we will be able to deliver several prototypes to the Air Force for trial as soon as summer.

In addition, the navy is also very interested in this drone, and has already sent people to contact us. However, the Navy's mission and use environment are very different from those of the Air Force, so it needs to be adapted to a greater extent.

In addition, the Navy also hopes that our intelligent attack drone can take off and land aircraft carriers and even amphibious assault ships autonomously. ”

Wu Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "They thought it was a helicopter, and they also took off and landed amphibious assault ships, what is it like?"

Even if it is an aircraft carrier, it is very difficult to achieve completely autonomous take-off and landing, which requires the perfect cooperation between the aircraft carrier's take-off and landing facilities and the aircraft.

It is necessary to improve not only the UAV, but also the entire take-off and landing command and control system of the aircraft carrier. ”

That's what I told them, but this time the navy was very determined, and it was directly led by the general. Zhou Yonghui said with a wry smile.

Wu Hao was out of luck when he heard this, and then nodded helplessly: "Let the project team communicate with them, and we will fully cooperate." In terms of drones, it's good to say that aircraft carriers are not something we can play with. ”

You're right, that's what I said to them. Zhou Yonghui nodded.

That's good. Wu Hao sighed, and then asked him: "I heard that the second-generation battlefield sweeper miniature unmanned attack aircraft project is progressing gratifyingly, and it has been put into the experimental testing stage. ”

That's right, that's right. Zhou Yonghui immediately made a gesture of please: "Please, we have conducted several tests at the test site of the base, and we have achieved good results." Knowing you're here today, we're all set. ”

Oh yes, then I'll see. Wu Hao smiled when he heard this, sure enough, the old man was still intimate.

The test site of the base, just on the edge of the base, is not too far away, and the area is still relatively large, located in the sand between three sand dunes, the area is about the size of seven or eight football fields.

It may seem like a lot, but in the depths of the vast desert, it's nothing.

In fact, they have a much bigger range, but it's still some distance from the base.

In the afternoon, the weather at the test site was still relatively warm, and the wind was lighter, and after a little sunbath, it was still slightly hot.

With sunglasses, Wu Hao and the others came to the test site. In front of the test site, on a raised platform made of concrete, several tables were placed on which various equipment were placed.

Zhou Yonghui held a thing about 40 mm thick and 200 mm long, that is, four centimeters thick and 20 centimeters long, similar to the shape of a missile, and said to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, this is the second-generation battlefield sweeper miniature unmanned attack aircraft we have developed. ”

So small? Wu Hao looked at the things Zhou Yonghui was holding in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zhou Yonghui said with a smile: "In fact, we can make it smaller, but considering the range, flight time, and the weight of the ammunition carried, we have made the current 40 mm caliber, 200 mm long similar to the shape of a missile." ”

40 mm thick, this caliber seems to be the same caliber as the grenade launcher we commonly use. Wu Hao asked with a smile.

Hahahaha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Make, that is, the same caliber as our grenade launchers. The reason why it is designed like this is mainly to facilitate soldiers to fire grenade launchers through guns or special grenade launchers during daily use.

This design is good, taking into account the convenience and versatility of use by the troops. Wu Hao praised with a smile.

Zhou Yonghui smiled and nodded: "That's right, at the beginning of research and development, we carefully visited the grassroots units that used our first-generation battlefield sweeper miniature unmanned attack aircraft, and collected a lot of good suggestions and opinions on the first-generation battlefield sweeper miniature unmanned attack aircraft from the grassroots officers and soldiers.

The officers and men generally reported that although this thing is very good and practical, it is very inconvenient to carry and it is too easy to occupy space.

After combining so many opinions, as well as our own research results, and after repeated trials, we chose this intelligent unmanned attack aircraft with a launchable mode. ”

Very good, so what about its range and airtime, as well as its power, has it been reduced. Wu Hao raised a question that he was more concerned about.

Zhou Yonghui smiled and shook his head: "No, it has not decreased, but has increased relatively, and we have also improved on this basis."

In this regard, we still need to rely on the help of the army and the military industrial system, which has solved many of our problems.

Of course, it also depends on the improvement of our own battery technology, which allows us to get plenty of power even with smaller batteries. ”
