Chapter 2141 Electric military vehicles are the future development trend
【Revision】
Wu Hao knew about their participation in the development project of a new generation of military vehicles. However, he only knew about it. He didn't know what the new generation of military vehicles looked like, and he had never seen it.
So when this car appeared in front of him, he was very surprised, especially when he heard that this generation of military vehicles actually abandoned the traditional high-horsepower diesel engine and instead used a high-power electric motor, which surprised him.
You must know that there are actually not many pure electric military vehicles currently equipped in the armies of various countries. An important reason is that the military of various countries generally do not trust electric vehicles.
In their view, the advantages of electric vehicles are useless. The most important thing about military vehicles is reliability, which can be made with solid leather, and other requirements are not required. From this point of view, traditional fuel vehicles have been developed for so many years, and the technology is very
It is mature, so it is the only choice for the armies of various countries. Moreover, many soldiers have this kind of sentiment towards high-horsepower fuel vehicles. They prefer which kind of tough, violent, and durable military vehicles. It is like these people prefer to shoot large-caliber rifles.
Likewise, I feel that small-caliber rifles are not satisfying to shoot.
Similarly, they also find it enjoyable to drive an electric car without fuel and the engine roars when the car is refueled.
However, the international current situation and strategic security have forced the military of various countries to consider electric vehicles, especially as international oil prices remain high. The high-horsepower fuel engines used in traditional military vehicles are all oil-hungry. Even wealthy militaries like Lao Mi have already
We had to cut down on fuel expenditures and began to consider the introduction of electric military vehicles.
Not to mention the armies of other countries, which are not rich in military expenditures, the significant increase in fuel has taken up a lot of valuable military expenditures. Some armies have even had to reduce their daily training due to the increase in fuel.
In addition, there is fuel security. At present, the world's oil basically comes from those regions and countries. Because there have been countless wars caused by oil, the situation in these regions has become increasingly tense. It can be said that oil energy security has
It has become a focus of intense concern for all countries and militaries.
As we all know, our country basically relies on imported oil. This is of course not a big problem in peacetime. Although oil prices continue to rise, shortages rarely occur.
But once a war breaks out or regional tensions arise and oil transportation lines are blocked, we will have a serious oil shortage. This will not only endanger the entire social and economic development, but also seriously threaten military and national security.
This is also the reason why the country has vigorously promoted electric vehicles in recent years. Because electric vehicles can get rid of our dependence on traditional oil, even if the oil disappears, it will not affect the normal driving of these electric vehicles.
As long as there is electricity, it is fine, and our country is one of the countries with the most abundant electric energy in the world, and electricity is also a green renewable resource, so there is no need to worry about shortages.
Similarly, if military vehicles can use electric energy, there will be no need to worry about the thorny problem of fuel shortage. This will also change the current situation in which our military vehicles rely heavily on petroleum energy.
In addition, the current domestic electric vehicle technology field is developing rapidly, and the technology is becoming more and more mature. In particular, it has successfully solved a series of key technologies such as high-power motors and high-density energy storage batteries, which has laid the foundation for the application of electric vehicle technology in military vehicles.
Base.
Therefore, Wu Hao did not find it a big surprise that the new generation of military vehicles were driven by electric power.
While Wu Hao was thinking, Zhou Yonghui continued to introduce: "As for us, as a joint development unit of the new generation of military vehicles, we are responsible for the development of the autonomous driving system of the new generation of military vehicles.
Compared with the simple and direct, even rough and crude driving methods of traditional military vehicles, the new generation of military vehicles is required to be able to meet the needs of autonomous driving and have certain intelligent auxiliary combat capabilities.
The primitive mechanical and manual control methods on traditional military vehicles are increasingly unable to meet the needs of future wars."
"Please see, this is the engineering prototype of the seventh-generation Warrior military vehicle that we participated in the development of. We have installed seven compound eye lenses, four high-definition lenses, four laser radars and four millimeter wave radars on it.
.”
Zhou Yonghui introduced it to everyone.
"Here, here, these are compound eye lenses. We have placed three compound eye lenses in front of the vehicle, where the rearview mirror is in the middle of the windshield, and on the A-pillars on both sides of the windshield, to take care of the road conditions in front.
detection work.
The reason for setting up three is mainly to achieve cross-viewing and avoid blind spots in observation and detection, so as to be able to calmly deal with various complex environments.
In addition to the three in the front, we have arranged two compound-eye lenses on the rearview mirrors on both sides of the vehicle, which are specifically responsible for environmental observation and detection on the sides of the vehicle. There are also two compound-eye lenses on the back of the vehicle, which are specifically responsible for the environmental observation and detection on the rear side of the vehicle.
Environmental observation and detection.
In addition to the seven conventional compound eye lenses, we also installed four high-definition lenses under the vehicle's chassis. Their function is to achieve perspective observation of the vehicle's chassis and to sense the relevant conditions below the vehicle's chassis in real time. Especially in special environments.
, through these four compound eye lenses under the ground, it can help the vehicle avoid some threats below, such as traps, landmines, etc.
As for the 4D millimeter-wave radar and the new generation lidar, we install them on the vehicle frame to achieve 360-degree foreground environment detection around the vehicle."
"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Zhang Jun asked aloud.
"Here, the A-pillars on both sides above the windshield are here. The reason why it is installed here is for safety reasons. Military vehicles may often collide with some obstacles. If it is installed at the front of the car below, this kind of
Precision instruments can easily be damaged by impact.
So we put them on the frame above the windshield so that they are not easily damaged by collisions. And because they are placed at a higher height, they can detect more environmental data from farther away, which is conducive to automatic
The driving system is informed in advance and responds in advance.”
The rear ones are also in this position, with divisions on both sides, also to form a certain angle so that they can take into account the side environment. Of course, if the vehicle is too long, such divisions will have certain blind spots.
This can be supplemented by lenses arranged on the side of the vehicle. If necessary, millimeter wave radar and lidar can also be installed in the side blind spots.
Of course, these are usually not needed. Compound eye lenses and visual capture and recognition systems can make up for this very well. Unless an active defense system is installed on the vehicle, then millimeter wave radar and lidar need to be installed in the blind area.
