Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Three: Professional Trouble
Hearing Luo Kai's words, Wu Hao nodded, and then said to everyone present: "It is understandable that the military has such concerns. After all, the flight data of an aircraft contains a lot of data information.
For example, the route the aircraft flies, as well as the aircraft's various performances, as well as some of the pilot's flying habits, etc. Once this data information is leaked, it will be extremely harmful."
His words made everyone present nodded. Indeed, the flight data of a plane contains too much data and information. Not to mention the military, even ordinary airlines will not leak this information easily.
Data information.
Wu Hao then continued: "Of course, the flight data of the Air Force's military aircraft has its own particularity, which will greatly promote our intelligent unmanned driving training of large aviation aircraft. Especially in some
Flights in complex sites and meteorological environments, as well as some large maneuvers, are very lacking in our civil aviation flight data.
Therefore, if our intelligent unmanned technology for large aviation aircraft is only satisfied with ordinary civil aviation aircraft, such as medium-sized or large regional trunk airliners, then there will be no problem, and it will be relatively simple.
All we need to do is to fly from this airport to the target airport regularly. During this period, we only need to take off, land, and fly smoothly, and then carry out some corresponding actions according to some ground instructions.
In the civilian field, whether it is a manned passenger aircraft or a cargo aircraft, it is only used for general transportation tasks. This only requires patrolling the intelligent unmanned system of large aviation aircraft, and it does not need to be so complicated at all.
But if the intelligent unmanned technology of this large aviation aircraft is used for military use, there will be many more factors to consider. After all, the operating environments and tasks of military and civilian applications are very different.
To give a very simple example, let’s take off and land at complex airports. Civil aviation is basically useless in this regard, because the worst airport facilities for civil aviation are hardened runways.
As for military aircraft, especially military transport aircraft, they need to take off and land in places that are narrow, short, or even in fields.
This data is something we cannot obtain from civil aviation, and it is also crucial for the implementation of autonomous takeoff and landing in such a complex environment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Academician Tang Shizhen immediately followed Wu Hao's words and said: "Yes, this is indeed a problem.
So now we have to see whether the direction of our project is to follow the military development route, the civilian development route, or the military-civilian integration development route.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer the development path of military-civilian integration. This can not only meet the needs of the military, but also take into account the economic benefits of the civilian market.
However, just like Wu, I will call you Xiao Wu." Tang Shizhen greeted Wu Hao, and then continued: "Military environmental use, mission and civilian use are definitely two concepts, so if there is no support from military data
, we cannot meet the military’s requirements for use.”
Deputy Director Qi, who was sitting in the first seat, saw Academician Tang Shizhen finish his speech and immediately said with a smile: "I think what Director Luo (Luo Kai) said is also true. We should also take into consideration the military's worries and worries.
At present, this technology has just been launched, and I think there is no urgent need at this stage for the military to obtain relevant military aircraft flight data.
What we need to do now is to first figure out the basic structural framework of the intelligent unmanned driving technology for this large aerospace vehicle.
Then, relevant information and data are filled into the framework according to relevant needs.
As everyone has said, military and civilian needs are different, and I think they can be treated differently, which makes it relatively simple."
At this time, Director Song of the Flight Test Center, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said: "Actually, our project is mainly researching the intelligent unmanned driving technology of large aviation aircraft.
That is to say, large aircraft, so what kind of large aircraft are they? Specifically, they are medium-sized large passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft. In the military field, that is, some medium-sized and heavy-duty transport aircraft, tankers, patrol and warning aircraft, and early warning aircraft need to be carried out in the air.
A large aircraft that flies for a long time and flies relatively smoothly.
There is no automatic assisted piloting technology for aircraft. This system is now available on large and medium-sized civil aviation aircraft.
You only need to fly the aircraft to a predetermined altitude, determine the route, and then switch to automatic flight mode. In this way, the aircraft can fly along the predetermined route and at a fixed altitude.
As for the pilot, he can completely ignore it. He only needs to monitor the relevant flight data and intervene in time to take over the aircraft when necessary.
The intelligent unmanned driving technology of this large-scale aviation aircraft we developed is more comprehensive and intelligent on this basis. It not only includes the automatic cruise flight of the aircraft, but also includes autonomous take-off and landing, as well as in-air
Automatic response processing in case of emergency, and functions such as taking corresponding actions according to ground instructions.
To put it bluntly, the intelligent unmanned driving technology of this large aviation aircraft we are studying does not assist the pilot in flying, but replaces the pilot.
In this regard, I think it is unrealistic to completely replace drivers at this stage, and I am afraid it is unacceptable to society.
Especially in the field of civil aviation, I am afraid that the acceptance of intelligent unmanned driving technology of our large aviation aircraft will be lower than what everyone thinks.
I think the only feasible thing is that there is still a lot of room for application in medium and large cargo aircraft. Especially the highly developed field of online shopping logistics in our country has also prompted the rapid development of our aviation logistics.
If this technology is put into use, it will greatly reduce the operating costs of some aeronautical physics companies in this area.
However, having said that, it means saving the cost of a pilot team. Whether this cost is worth the value of our system, it is actually hard to say.
After all, for major airlines and aviation logistics companies, what they want and hope most is to control costs. So I am not optimistic that they will spend such a large amount of money to purchase intelligent drones equipped with our large aviation aircraft.
Human driving system.”
Speaking of this, Director Song glanced at Luo Kai, and then continued: "Next, let me talk about the military field. Again, I am not too optimistic about it."
"Huh?" After hearing Director Song's words, not only Luo Kai, but also Wu Hao and the others looked at him. Everyone couldn't help but underestimate him. Is this Director Song a professional troublemaker?
