"Because of its small size and light weight, it means that it does not need to occupy the establishment. Ordinary soldiers can carry additional ones, and they can choose the number to carry according to mission needs.
If the establishment is occupied, theoretically speaking, a warrior with basic self-defense capabilities can carry about twenty to twenty-five aircraft at most. In this way, the firepower strike capability and sustained combat capability of the infantry basic combat unit will be greatly improved.
.”
After hearing Wu Hao's introduction, the leaders and military representatives shook their heads. The number Wu Hao mentioned was too idealistic. In fact, there is far less need for so many. Generally, basic combat units can be equipped with five to ten of these.
Precision strike weapons will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of infantry squads fighting at the grassroots level.
"How to use it and how powerful it is?" the leader asked immediately.
Wu Hao smiled and pointed to the information played on the big screen and continued to introduce: "There are three specific ways to use it. The first one is for the soldier to control the attack directly through the remote control, which is a TV-guided remote control attack.
The second type is to let the drone fly and leave it alone. The drone will autonomously detect and identify the target and carry out selective attacks.
The third method is to connect to the battlefield support management system and have a dedicated person from the rear conduct remote control attacks.
As for its power, it contains 150 grams of high-energy ammunition, and its killing radius can reach six to eight meters. It can accurately attack a single target, or it can kill enemy troops in large groups."
"In other words, it is specially designed and developed for enemy infantry." The leader said thoughtfully.
Wu Hao nodded and said: "That's right, we have studied some real battle cases that have occurred in recent years and found that the ones with the highest casualties are always close contact battles in complex terrain environments.
Within such a distance, long-range fire support is not available, and the infantry can only rely on the relevant weapons equipped by the infantry to fight.
However, in complex and small areas such as city ruins, jungles, and mountainous areas, if infantry alone enters the battle, it will easily be ambushed, surrounded, and raided by the enemy, resulting in a bitter battle.
In such battles, both sides often adopt layer-by-layer attacks, advancing step by step to seize and control relevant areas, driving the enemy out or compressing their scope of activities, and ultimately annihilating them.
Such tactics can be effective, but they often cause huge casualties.
Our battlefield sweeper is designed and developed for such a combat environment. Because it is small and lightweight, it can be carried by infantry.
Because it is small and light, it is flexible in flight and can fly at high speeds in complex terrain."
As he spoke, Wu Hao motioned to the technicians to play a test video of a drone flying over obstacles at high speed.
The picture shows that the drone is crossing some obstacles at high speed, including trees, houses, and crowds, and is very flexible.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhao Hongzhe couldn't help but said: "These are drones that fly autonomously to avoid obstacles, or are they manually controlled by you."
"It flies completely autonomously, without any control from us," Wu Hao replied with a smile.
"How fast can it reach?" Mr. Zhao then asked.
Wu Hao looked at everyone and said: "In the open airspace, its ultimate flight speed can reach 400 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to 110 meters per second.
In a complex environment, its flight speed can reach 40 to 80 meters per second. Of course, the more complex the environment and the more obstacles, the slower its flight speed will be."
After hearing his introduction, everyone nodded. As a small drone, this speed is already very good.
What surprises everyone is that this drone actually has the ability to fly autonomously and avoid obstacles. And judging from the test footage in the video, the drone flies very smoothly inside obstacles, and it doesn’t look like a drone at all.
Flying autonomously.
"What about the battery life and range?" the leader couldn't help but ask. It could be seen that he was more interested in this drone.
"The battery life is six to seven minutes. As for the range, if it is left alone, it can theoretically cover a radius of five kilometers. If it is manually controlled, it will be about five hundred meters.
Of course, its optimal combat range is still within a radius of about three hundred meters, which is also an area that is difficult to cover with long-range firepower."
"The battery life is a bit short." A military representative raised doubts, and everyone nodded after hearing this. Indeed, such a short battery life seemed to everyone to be insufficient.
Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this and said: "No, I think it is enough. From taking off, to finding and capturing the target, to the final attack, theoretically it only takes a few seconds.
The reason why it is given a battery life of six or seven minutes is to allow it to fly in complex environments and have sufficient time to find and identify hidden targets for selective attacks.
From this we can assume two combat scenarios. Scenario 1: When we attack the enemy and occupy the city, we encounter strong resistance from the enemy.
The enemy relied on urban building bunkers and defended themselves layer by layer, causing great casualties to our offensive.
Faced with such a complex environment, support firepower is generally ineffective and cannot eliminate enemy troops hiding in building ruins.
The only other way is to carry out carpet saturation bombing on the ruins of buildings occupied by the enemy to eliminate the enemy. Although this can avoid casualties of our troops, it will cost a lot of money in terms of bombing ammunition and the cleaning and reconstruction of the ruins.
Second, send infantry deep in to clear the enemy, but this will cause the attacker and the attacking infantry to suffer heavy casualties.
At this time, our battlefield sweeper can come in handy. Our soldiers can fly drones outside the ruins to search and inspect the interior of the city ruins, find the enemy's hiding targets, attack and eliminate them, and eliminate the enemy effortlessly.
, capture the ruins.”
Having said this, Wu Hao glanced at everyone. After hearing his assumptions about the scenario, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
This is indeed the most common combat operation encountered in modern wars, and it is also the combat operation with the highest casualties. Generally, with a huge advantage in military strength, large-scale wars will end quickly and the casualties will not be too large.
But the ensuing operation to clear out the enemy's remnants is a difficult problem that every army must encounter, and it is also the combat operation with the highest casualties.
The enemy often relies on this kind of hiding in the terrain environment to harass the attackers and attack them coldly, making it impossible to carry out effective defense.
The clearing operations against these targets often have little effect and will cost a lot of casualties.
If there is such a weapon and equipment that can replace soldiers to conduct reconnaissance and clearance of these complex terrains, it will be very beneficial not only to the soldiers but also to the entire war situation.
