After glancing at Wu Hao, Lin Jiaming continued: "Of course, these three plug-in points are preset and are not used under normal circumstances. Other functional modules or weapons and equipment will only be installed under special circumstances.
For example, we can attach an external auxiliary fuel tank to this smart drone, which will greatly increase its range. It can be used to perform some long-range strike missions, as well as long-distance penetration and attack missions behind enemy lines.
Secondly, we can also mount a stealth weapon magazine for this smart drone. Each magazine can hold one or two ammunition. And because it is wrapped in a stealth magazine, it is not easily detected by radar and can also
It serves the purpose of invisibility.
In addition to the stealth weapon magazine, other equipment can also be mounted, such as electronic reconnaissance pods, electronic warfare pods, etc."
“In addition, this smart drone also has a strong learning ability and can autonomously correct its flight posture and movements based on environmental changes and past data to adapt to the current environment.
The takeoff and landing of this smart fighter can be controlled by the intelligent system carried by the drone and completed by itself.
Although generally the autonomous take-off and landing of drones rely on relevant data input by technicians to carry out fixed pattern take-off and landing.
But this is in a fixed mode. If the airport environment changes suddenly during takeoff and landing, the drone may not be able to take off and land autonomously normally.
For example, the wind speed at the airport suddenly increases, crosswinds appear, or rain or snow suddenly occurs, etc. In addition, if the airport where you land changes, is attacked, or becomes a field airport or even a dirt road, the drone's
Autonomous takeoff and landing will be completely ineffective.
Intelligence relies on manual control and take-off, and in this environment, there are also high requirements for manual control.
As for our drone, it has a strong learning ability in this regard. We have also encountered such problems during previous test flights, and each time was recorded by the drone.
After encountering similar situations in the future, the drone will adjust its attitude based on past flight records, thereby automatically controlling the drone to take off and land, as well as perform daily patrol flights.
In our test today, the smart drone took off and landed all by itself, we just gave instructions."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then turned their attention to the various equipment screens and busy staff in the tower command center.
These technicians are making final preparations for the drone to take off. In fact, the drone can take off at any time, so there is no problem.
The reason why we need to do such complicated preparation work is mainly to prepare some test items for test flight content, which is relatively cumbersome.
If these tasks are not prepared, today's test flight will be in vain.
Soon, a technician wearing glasses nodded to Lin Jiaming. Lin Jiaming understood, and then smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Mr. Wu, everything is ready, and the test flight can start at any time."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, then picked up the telescope and pointed it at the drone on the runway and said: "Let's start!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaming waved to the technicians in the tower command center and said: "The 63rd flight test of the B2XX37 intelligent unmanned fighter prototype No. 3 has officially begun, and the drone has taken off!"
"Yes, the drone takes off!" as the controller issued the order.
I saw the drone parked on the runway increasing its tail spray and emitting the distinctive harsh roar of its engine.
Immediately after the drone started, it began to taxi slowly on the runway, gradually increasing its speed. After taxiing for three to four hundred meters, the drone's nose was raised, quickly lifted off the ground, and flew smoothly into the air.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded when he saw this, and then focused his attention on the images from various angles captured by cameras at various locations in the airport and several drones in the air on the quadruple TV screen next to him.
These monitoring pictures are not to make it easier for Wu Hao and others to watch the takeoff. They are for the technical experts of the project team to collect various data on the drone's takeoff, organize and analyze it, and then continue to optimize the takeoff action.
"Switch the perspective of the smart drone!" As Lin Jiaming issued the order, the quadruple TV screen began to display the perspective of the integrated photoelectric surveillance system on the drone and the detection screen of the synthetic aperture radar. At the same time,
Displays radar detection information on the drone and satellite map location information.
"Speed 400, height 3000, direction southwest!"
"Enter the test project, increase the speed to 800, the altitude to 5,000, and fly according to the predetermined route."
"clear!"
…
After issuing some trivial and responsible orders, Lin Jiaming had time to explain to Wu Hao: "Today's test projects are relatively simple. One is a super-high-speed flight experiment, and the other is an aerial bomb-dropping experiment."
"Are there any bomb-dropping experiments today?" Zou Xiaodong asked with some confusion.
Lin Jiaming nodded and said: "The main purpose is to test the impact of opening the magazine on the aerodynamic shape of the entire drone, as well as the changes in the aerodynamic shape including the flight center of the drone after the bomb is dropped, etc."
Of course, the bombs mounted today are all simulated bombs, which are unloaded training bombs. The location where the bombs were dropped is also deep in the desert and there are no human settlements, so there is no danger."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then asked with a smile: "Has today's test project been submitted to the military for approval? The sky above our base is an unopened no-fly zone designated by the military."
"Don't worry, it has been submitted for light review and approval." Lin Jiaming nodded and replied.
"That's good." Wu Hao nodded and stopped talking.
…
At the same time, there is a large airport of our army in the desert about six or seven hundred kilometers away from them. There are various fighter planes parked on the apron. Over the airport, there are two fighter planes hovering above, preparing for today's attack.
Routine training.
On the airport tower, two middle-aged men wearing military green short-sleeves were sitting in the command position, wearing sunglasses and watching the fighter planes in the sky.
"The weather is really nice today, Lao Zheng. I think we can extend the training time appropriately and add a few more subjects."
The middle-aged man on the side glanced at him when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "I said, Lao He, what's the matter? Are you feeling itchy again when you look at the fighter planes in the sky?"
"If we don't allow flying in such good weather, wouldn't it cost me the life of an old pilot?" The middle-aged man named He couldn't help complaining.
Haha, the middle-aged man named Zheng put his shoulder on the old man next to him, and now comforted him: "There will always be a time when pilots say goodbye to the blue sky. You are the last one in our group to say goodbye to the blue sky. You should be content.
Besides, the command position is equally important as it is the central brain of the entire fleet and even our entire division."
