"Why did it choose this route instead of a closer route?" Luo Kai, who had rarely spoken, took the initiative to ask at this time.
"Because this is the optimal route." Wu Hao replied with a smile.
Luo Kai heard his answer and asked: "The best route?"
Wu Hao nodded, then pointed at the big screen and said: "Look, the drone cluster has planned a total of six flight paths, including the shortest and the longest.
The route chosen by the UAV cluster is not the shortest of the two options, but this one has many twists and turns.
We carefully compared the terrain map and we can see that the two shortest routes are flying along the valley, which is really good and can avoid radar detection.
But have you noticed that there are several consecutive sharp bends less than 90°C in the valley that these two routes pass through. If a huge fleet of aircraft passes through these sharp bends, it will easily cause a large number of drones to crash, so for safety reasons
It abandoned this nearest route.
As for the farthest route, there is no doubt that it is too far."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone looked at the big screen and nodded. Indeed, compared to other routes, the flight route chosen by the cluster is the most suitable.
"Wait a minute, why are so many drones crashing?" While everyone was discussing, Yang Xuehai suddenly shouted.
After hearing this, everyone looked over and saw that there were some red dots on the trajectory of the drone cluster on the screen, which meant that a drone had crashed. If it turned into a black dot, it meant that the drone had crashed.
Contact was lost after the crash, and the black spot is the last positioning point where the system received signals.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hongzhe frowned and asked: "Have you found anything in the high-altitude drone reconnaissance images?"
"Nothing special has been discovered yet." A technician reported.
Wu Hao looked at the screen and then raised his voice: "Bring over the video recorded by the drone equipped with a camera at the front of the fleet."
"Report, the drone No. 021,078 is at the forefront of the fleet, and the video image has been transmitted to the big screen."
At the same time, surveillance video images from the perspective of these two drones appeared on the large TV screen.
When everyone saw this, they also stared at the big screen, but they didn't notice anything unusual for a while.
Zhao Hongzhe asked: "Have you noticed any abnormalities at the observation points along the way?"
"Reported that the drone passed through the valley area and was out of the field of view of most observation points. Only a few observation points can still track the flight status of the drone cluster, but the distance is too far and no abnormalities have been found for the time being."<
/p>
"The number of downed drones is still increasing, and there are currently more than one hundred." Gao Feihang anxiously reported while staring at the data on the screen.
"Xiao Wu, is there something wrong with the cluster autonomous control system?" Yang Xuehai worriedly asked him.
Wu Hao was a little unsure when he heard this, but turned to look at Yang Fan and the others who had been staring at the data on the other side.
Yang Fan shook his head slightly at him, indicating that no abnormalities were found in the system control program.
So where is the problem?
Wu Hao stared at the video image on the big screen and thought about it. He had never seen a plane crash for no reason before.
"Mr. Zhao, if it doesn't work, just stop. We have achieved great success, there is no need to take this risk again." Yang Xuehai suggested to Zhao Hongzhe at this time.
After hearing Professor Yang's words, everyone suddenly focused their attention on Zhao Hongzhe.
At this time, Luo Kai on the side also said: "I think Mr. Yang is right, let's stop for the time being. We will wait until we find the problem and solve it before testing. Anyway, there is no shortage of time."
Zhao Hongzhe hesitated after hearing what the two said. He turned his eyes to Wu Hao who was still thinking and asked: "Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
After hearing Zhao Hongzhe's words, everyone turned their attention to him again. But now Wu Hao is still immersed in his own thoughts.
"Xiao Wu?"
"Ah?" Wu Hao was awakened and said, "What's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Hongzhe asked him.
Wu Hao felt everyone's eyes focused on him, then smiled and shook his head: "Maybe, I already know the reason."
Zhao Hongzhe suddenly became interested when he heard what he said, and quickly asked: "Oh, what's the problem?"
"Have you noticed the dense vegetation and trees in the valley?" Wu Hao replied with a smile.
"You mean?" Zhao Hongzhe's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.
Wu Hao nodded and said: "This is not a problem with our system program and the drone at all, but the data is inaccurate.
The data we obtained, especially the terrain data, are all based on mountain topographic mapping records, and these tall and dense trees are rarely noticed.
So I analyzed that our fallen drones were probably blocked by these tall trees and vegetation, which caused the crash failure."
"Yes, that must be the reason. The terrain and landform data we have are all from the database collected and mapped before, not what we measured in real time.
During this period, a tree may suddenly grow taller in these mountains, or there may be an additional building, wires, or landslides and other obstacles. This can cause a mismatch between the data and reality, resulting in inaccuracies.
Man-machine crashed."
Hearing Wu Hao's explanation, Yang Xuehai looked excited and agreed very much.
Luo Kai was slightly disappointed when he heard the introductions of the two men and said: "So, our technology needs to be optimized and improved."
Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and comforted: "It's actually not as complicated as everyone thinks. Normally we won't encounter this kind of situation.
The content tested today was only conducted under the set extreme environment.
It is very simple to solve this problem. I already have two solutions here. The first drone and existing system technology do not need to be changed. You only need to import the latest topography and landform mapping data to solve this problem.
The second is to upgrade the drone hardware and system software. The drone can be equipped with detection radar, distance sensor or other detection equipment.
In this way, the surrounding ground information can be detected in real time when the fleet is flying. It can not only avoid these obstacles, but also accurately search, detect and attack the target location."
Zhao Hongzhe nodded and smiled: "Xiao Wu is right, it is indeed not as complicated as you think. Our drone does lack these sensors, which is why problems occur in such unfamiliar areas."
"Compared to the first option, I am more optimistic about the second improvement option. In this way, our drone cluster can perform tasks in unfamiliar areas at any time, greatly increasing its use environment and scope, and also
It can increase its power." Yang Xuehai nodded, looked at Wu Hao and said with a smile on his face.
