Chapter 282 A new era of drones

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Landon and Mike were both stunned. Miracle?  What miracle?  Isn't it supposed to be the first test conducted by Particle Company? Why did Colonel Moore get into Company H's operating cabin?

    Until the bullet drone on the runway started gliding, then accelerated, and then jumped into the air. If the two of them didn't know that the bullet drone was the latest product of H Company, they would really have been killed.

    "Mike, tell me, why didn't they use Discovery series drones? Tell me!" Langdon grabbed Mike's collar and roared.

    The coffee in Mike¡¯s hand spilled all over, but he didn¡¯t care about it at all now, because at this moment he also wanted to know how Company H could come up with a new type of drone that was different from the Discovery series.

    There is no way, if this matter is not clear, once Company H's products crush the "Sports God" of Particle Company into scum, then he will be tantamount to using false business intelligence to deceive General Company, let alone the two hundred dollars in hand.  Thousands of dollars will go down the drain, and all the wealth he has accumulated in half his life may be lost.

    Let¡¯s not talk about how Langdon got angry, nor how Mike defended himself. In the operating cabin, Colonel Moore was sitting in the operating position. He was holding a joystick that was exactly the same as the one on the aircraft, and he was looking at what was displayed on the screen in front of him.  The flight attitude and various data are as exciting as a child.

    Especially on the screen next to it, the real-time picture of the "Eagle Eye" 2 integrated viewpoint detection system improved by the Apache armed helicopter's integrated optoelectronic system made people even more shocked.

    It¡¯s not that the real-time picture is real, but that it¡¯s clearly identifiable and smooth. It¡¯s not like you¡¯re watching a live broadcast, but it¡¯s not that bad.

    "How did you do it?"

    When the bullet drone entered level flight, Colonel Moore pointed to the screen in the middle and asked Lister.

    "The C-band data link is used within two hundred kilometers. That is, senior executives of major companies often use video and telephone conferencing terminals. It is a short-distance data transmission system that converts various data signals on the aircraft into analog signals.  , is transmitted back to the ground control station, and then the ground control station controls it based on the signal, with a delay of about ten to twenty seconds."

    Hearing this, Moore nodded. There were indeed lags on the middle screen, but it was much better than the real-time transmission of the Discovery-1 drone he had seen in the Ministry of Justice. Wherever there was a lag, there was a pause.  , since the highest latency there reaches two minutes.

    It was obvious that Company H had made improvements in the communication system. Moore couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, but the next moment he remembered that General James had flown more than 300 kilometers with the drone just now, and it could land accurately at the base. This distance had long been exceeded.  Beyond the scope of the c-band data link, he continued to ask: "How does General James achieve long-distance flight?"

    "Satellite!" Liszt answered simply.

    "Satellite?" Moore frowned in confusion.

    "Yes, Colonel, we are using satellites." As he spoke, Lister pointed to the side: "In the cabin on the car next to you is a complete set of 'Trojan Spirit' satellite communication system terminals, using the Army's 'Trojan Spirit'  Communication satellites relay communications for our bullet drones to complete the two-way transmission of flight attitude and reconnaissance data.

    Of course, the Army has only four "Trojan Spirit" communication satellites. Not only does it have certain blind spots, but the Army's communication channels are also insufficient. At this time, our bullet drones will use the high-frequency data communication channels of commercial communication satellites.  In other words, as long as the communication satellites in the sky are still operating normally, our bullet drones will roam the sky without being restricted by traditional communication distances.  "

    As soon as these words came out, all the base officers, including Moore, looked surprised. They never expected that communication satellite technology could be applied to drones, thus allowing drones to escape from the problems that they could not get rid of before.  The kite becomes a truly free-flying bird that can soar in the sky.

    You must know that the reason why drones are not widely used by various countries is not that drones are bad, or that countries do not know that drones have a bright future, but that under existing conditions, the limitation of communication distance makes drones  The range of action of the machine is very awkward.

    Taking the United States as an example, even the most powerful ground control station can only control a distance of 500 kilometers at most. It cannot be affected by signal failure, earth curvature, etc. This distance is already the limit.

    If you want to control a drone to fly farther, you need to set up multiple ground stations to perform relay control similar to aerospace measurement and control.

    In this way, the cost of using drones is too high, because such a ground station can become a satellite ground receiving station with a slight modification. The satellite can conduct uninterrupted reconnaissance 24 hours a day, so why not use a more efficient satellite?

    What?What should I do if I can¡¯t see the satellite clearly?

    With so many manned reconnaissance aircraft built, shouldn¡¯t they be left to rust?  As for the drone let's save it for short-range tactical reconnaissance.

    But now, H company not only uses military communication satellites to solve the problem of confidential communication, but also creatively integrates commercial communication satellites. This is equivalent to saying that long-distance drone control has completely got rid of the shackles of the ground control station and will  Putting it from the ground to space not only eliminates the problem of long-distance control of drones, but also greatly reduces the cost of use to an extremely low level.

    Because whether it is for military or commercial use, the service fees for communication satellites are much cheaper than those for ground stations.

    As for the technical feasibility of this model, Moore and others did not even bother to think about it. Let alone military communication satellites. Even commercial communication satellites have very good communication transmission effects. If nothing else, American TV programs can  For the whole world to watch, it is not transmitted by communication satellites in the sky.

    Even TV signals can be transmitted, but flight data, reconnaissance pictures and even simple factual images that are much smaller than the signal cannot be transmitted?

    ¡°In short, these knowledgeable officers of the Advanced Research Projects Office of the Ministry of National Defense are very aware of the value of this long-distance control system, because H Company is not just a simple innovation, but has truly opened a new era of drones.

    "Captain Carlos, write this important performance into the test report. Remember, it must be written in detail. I believe the generals of the Air Force will be very interested." Colonel Moore, who was still operating the bullet drone, thought  He didn't want to just give orders to an officer behind him who was holding a folder.

    The captain named Carlos nodded quickly: "Yes, sir." He immediately picked up the folder and started writing on it.

    Moore turned back and focused his attention back on the control of the bullet drone. Just as he was holding the joystick and preparing to circle around the hills, a string of red characters suddenly flashed on the screen in front of him: "There is a target.  Can be attacked!"

    Moore was startled and quickly asked Liszt: "Can your drone really use weapons?"
