097 Chapter 97 Drone Commando

"First of all, the whole aircraft, including the cantilever and propeller, ammunition box, etc., is painted black," Huang said. Because we do not have precision-guided bombs, in order to ensure a hit rate, we can only drop bombs at low altitudes. Although it is difficult for radar to detect such a small aircraft, if it flies over the enemy's position in broad daylight and has to descend to more than 100 meters to drop bombs, the enemy can shoot it down with a rifle, let alone anti-aircraft weapons, so it will not work at all. Only by using the cover of night can the night operation be successful. Therefore, the metal reflection and white charge boxes of these spiral arms are easy to expose the target at night and become the target of the enemy. Therefore, it is necessary to paint it black and blend in with the night to improve the chances of survival. Of course, after approaching the enemy, the flashing navigation lights had to be turned off, and it goes without saying. ”

General Xiao Hong nodded and said, "Very good, this suggestion is very practical." After speaking, he turned to the two female soldiers and said, "Xiaohong and Xiaolan, you record this, and change it when you go back." And to take it as a regulation, all miniature bombers will be painted black in the future! ”

"Yes", the two female soldiers replied crisply.

General Xiao Hong said: "Xiao Huang, you still have a lot of research on civilian drones, did you learn them from the Internet?" ”

Huang Jiahao said embarrassedly: "I did learn a lot on the Internet, but in the past two days with the little girl, the conversation between the girl and her master also gave me a lot of inspiration." ”

General Xiao Hong said: "What is the little girl's ability? Can it inspire you? ”

Huang Jiahao said: "The little girl's master is a master, that is, the person named Wang Xiaoyu, who has a lot of professional knowledge, and I have asked him some questions, which I think is very referential." ”

General Xiao Hong gestured: "You give me an example."

Huang Jiahao said: "I once discussed the issue of remote distance control with him. Wang Xiaoyu once said that a certain UAV of Xiaoyu Company, its remote control distance is claimed to be 5000 meters, which is the ideal distance without any interference and obstacles, and it is impossible to have no interference and obstacles on the battlefield, in order to avoid the enemy's radar, terrain matching flight between the mountains and mountains is a common thing, so the remote control distance will be greatly reduced. He said that the most important thing is that the remote control frequency of civilian drones is 2.4G, and the radio waves of this frequency are propagating in a straight line, and any obstacle may affect the control of the machine. So if you are separated by a mountain, there is no way to control it, let alone enter the battle. ”

General Xiao Hong said: "I also know what you said, but how can I increase the remote control distance?" And how to realize the control of drones across the mountain? Did Wang Xiaoyu mention these questions? ”

Huang Jiahao scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed: "Wang Xiaoyu has talked about it, but I haven't specifically operated the modification to increase the remote control distance, and I also have some understanding of this on the Internet, I don't know if it's right." ”

General Xiao Hong said: "It's okay, let's hear it!" ”

Huang Jiahao said: "Wang Xiaoyu said that the quickest way to increase the remote control distance is to replace the transmitting and receiving antennas, and change the ordinary antenna to a directional antenna, which can effectively increase the remote control distance by more than two times. There are more complicated, the establishment of a ground station, increasing the power of the transmitter can increase the remote control distance dozens of times, but I can't do it, the control across the mountain is more complicated, as far as I know, they can't do it. According to the little girl, her two drones have the function of transmitting maps across the mountain, and it seems that Wang Xiaoyu should be able to get it. ”

General Xiao Hong sighed and said: "Hey, everyone knows the importance of establishing a ground station, but not only will you not be able to build a ground station, but our army, and even the entire East African people, are seriously lacking in talents in this area. Therefore, if Wang Xiaoyu is a master in this area, we must find a way to pull him in, and at least ask him to help us train a group of talents! ”

"Yes!" Huang Jiahao replied.

General Xiaohong waved his hand and said, "This problem will not be solved for a while, so let's put it aside for a while, and you can continue to talk about it."

Huang Jiahao continued: "Second, it is necessary to increase the range and endurance. THE SPEED OF THE PLANT PROTECTION MACHINE IS ABOUT 50KM/H. The endurance time is 30 minutes, that is, its maximum combat radius is only about 12KM, less when fully loaded, there are mountains everywhere, and it is not enough to climb two mountains at this point, not to mention terrain matching, tactical maneuvers such as ultra-low-altitude flight, which will consume more energy. Therefore, it is necessary to have a endurance of at least two hours and a combat radius of about 50 kilometers before it has actual combat value. ”

General Xiaohong said: "What you said is also what troubles me. According to the technicians, to achieve a greater range, it is better to switch to fuel engines, and to use larger aircraft. However, the increase in the size of the aircraft not only loses its stealth performance, but also increases the difficulty of logistics support, and will also increase the requirements for take-off and landing sites. The cost of use and maintenance will rise countless times, and it is impossible for our army, which is short of funds, to equip it in large quantities. What's more, the large UAV also needs to run fixedly, which gives the enemy an eye-catching target and can easily become the prey of the enemy's helicopter gunships and fighters. Even if you return to the base, hiding is a problem, and you will become a naked target for the enemy. Therefore, due to the lack of air supremacy, small size, low cost, and no restrictions on site requirements, these are the three basic principles of our army's use of UAVs. So now, without changing the volume of the plant protection aircraft, how to increase its range and endurance at a low cost, do you have any way? ”

Huang Jiahao blushed and said: "I really don't know much about the very professional issues. ”

General Xiaohong said: "It doesn't matter, just say as much as you know." ”

Huang Jiahao said: "I only know two points about the range, first, simply increasing the number of battery packs can not effectively improve the range, because the weight of the battery pack itself is not light, usually accounting for 30% to 40% of the weight of the whole aircraft, so the battery pack has to consume a lot of energy to fight gravity for itself, and the contribution to the range is not large." Unless the weight of the battery pack does not change, the storage capacity is greatly increased. Therefore, the use of high-quality batteries can help to increase the range. Second, the right design can help increase the range. In particular, the quantity and quality of the propeller blades, the twisting and chamfering angles of the blades have a particularly large impact on range and lift. The specific design scheme requires a lot of experimental data and calculations, which requires professionals to do, and I only know a little about it. ”

General Xiao Hong asked, "Do you know any relevant professionals?" ”？

Huang Jiahao said: "I don't know this, but the little girl said that they used a helicopter model toy, and they conducted a live broadcast in the afternoon, and the battery life must be more than three hours. ”

General Xiaohong's heart is bright, and the little girl refuses to say it, it must be a secret between her and that Wang Xiaoyu. As long as the person is based in his own base, everything is easy to do. He smiled and said, "Hehe, you are still young, it is already good to know so much." What is your third point? Let's talk about it. ”

"Third, increase the distance and speed of real-time image transmission. This is very important, if you fly over the enemy, but do not transmit the image back in time, there is no way to carry out a series of actions such as aiming and dropping bombs. Therefore, in order to militarize civilian UAVs, it is necessary to have supporting equipment that can carry out remote real-time map transmission, as well as infrared equipment and low-light equipment for night search. However, long-range real-time image wireless transmission technology, even for the government armies of large countries, is still a high-precision technology, and often relies on the help of artificial satellites or early warning aircraft. For those of us who are nationals, it is an almost impossible task. ”

General Xiao Hong asked unhappily: "According to you, can't we do it?" ”。

Huang Jiahao said: "This is not, in recent years, the drone industry has flourished, and there are many private masters." So to solve this problem, we first need to have skilled talents. The second is the strong support of the armed forces, giving priority support in terms of funds, ensuring the supply of equipment, allowing failures in the course of experiments, and providing the necessary conditions for scientific researchers, so that it will be much easier to solve this problem. ”

When General Xiaohong heard this, it was another time-consuming and labor-intensive process, and he couldn't count on it in a short time, and he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart. However, the use of UAVs is the trend of the times, no matter how difficult it is, it is rare for Huang Jiahao to have so much understanding of UAVs, it is better to let his spy company cooperate with scientific and technological personnel to carry out modification tests in advance, young people are active in thinking, and there may be unexpected gains when the time comes. And listening to him, that Wang Xiaoyu seems to be very powerful, so he should be allowed to try.

The decision has been made, General Xiaohong pointed to the two female soldiers and said to Huang Jiahao: "These two are Xiaohong and Xiaolan, they are college students in the Department of Electronics, and they are more familiar with electronic circuits. From now on, the two of them will be temporarily transferred to the special service company, led by you, and the two of them will be specifically responsible, you will jointly set up a drone commando team, and the special service company will fully cooperate to strive to get a drone with actual combat capability as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Huang Jiahao and the two female soldiers stood up and saluted and replied in unison.

General Xiao Hong also said: "You are in the experimental stage, and you need to do three things at the same time. First, it is necessary to keep it secret, and not to make the city full of storms before the machine comes out. Second, select the right personnel and conduct training in advance. The content of the training includes the specific operation, maintenance, aiming, bomb dropping and other technical actions related to actual combat of the drone. Personnel training takes time, don't get the machine out by then, but there is no man to operate it, it will be a big joke. Therefore, it is necessary to take the lead in setting up a drone commando team within the special service company, and the number of people in the initial stage is about 20 people, and after gaining experience and having combat capability, it will be increased as needed. Third, the three of you, as the backbone, should work together to solve the problem. If you don't understand, you can go to China to learn from experience, and you can also hire suitable high-quality talents to work together. Well, just now you repeatedly mentioned that Wang Xiaoyu, to know more about him, close to him, it is best to pull him into our team, at least to put his skills out, and let him assist us in training a qualified team. Well, the follow-up work on this matter will be followed up by Chief of Staff Hong, and he will also be in charge, and you can also put forward any requests to him, and the chief of staff will try his best to meet your requirements. ”

After saying this, General Xiao Hong waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's all for today, you guys go and do it, and the meeting is dismissed!" ”

Xiaohong and Xiaolan were disassembling the drone and packing it, the office door opened a crack, and a little head with four braids came in, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was packing up their things and preparing to leave, knowing that the meeting was over, they squeezed out a smile at General Xiaohong and asked, "Second uncle, is your meeting over?" Can we come in? ”
