At the same time, in the airspace 176 kilometers northeast of the East Zhejiang Sea, the hu-25d "Guardian" command patrol aircraft belonging to the coast guard of a large country outside the region also encountered the same problem as the ty-6, that is, the GPS signal suddenly became abnormal.
However, unlike the ty-6 satellite navigation signal that completely disappeared, the signal on the hu-25d "Guardian" command patrol aircraft only weakened.
In layman¡¯s terms, the accuracy of GPS navigation has suddenly dropped a lot.
It dropped from the original 15 meters to 85 meters. Such a large drop is not a big deal for the hu-25d, which relies on satellite navigation. So as the commander, Cole quickly contacted the USS Rush patrol ship that was sailing at sea and asked what happened. What's going on.
In fact, without Cole asking, the commander on the Rush had already contacted the headquarters using a satellite phone, because the GPS signal on their ship dropped even more ridiculously, reaching 200 meters.
Of course you have to ask what¡¯s going on, otherwise you¡¯ll be in trouble if you bump into someone on the sea.
I didn¡¯t know until I asked, but I was really shocked when I asked. It turned out that it was not the GPS satellite that had a problem, but that the ground monitoring station in Hawaii responsible for GPS timing in the Asia-Pacific region was hit by a typhoon, and the timing signal was not transmitted smoothly, resulting in GPS navigation signals in the Asia-Pacific region are affected.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, GPS only opened satellite navigation services to the world last month. The business volume has increased nearly a hundred times compared with pure military services. It is normal for sudden force majeure factors to cause timing failures and signal weakening.
Fortunately, the company responsible for operating GPS promptly activated backup monitoring stations in Guam and Australia, so that the GPS signal can be continued.
It¡¯s just that the accuracy is slightly worse. After all, it is a backup station. The key hardware facilities have not had time to be updated, so they rushed to the shelves and acted as the so-called Mr. Key.
The result can be imagined.
But this is not something that everyone can enjoy, because GPS is clearly said to be free, but in fact GPS has already made money at the source.
In this way, the world's major navigation manufacturers can use GPS authorization to produce chips, receivers and precision navigation devices containing satellite navigation.
"It's just that authorization belongs to authorization, but there is a huge difference between authorization and authorization. It's like the phone bill on a mobile phone is called a phone bill, but the package inside has a lot to say.
The same goes for GPS, so the satellite navigation devices of various manufacturers look similar, but the authorization levels inside vary widely.
The highest priority is of course the military or the powerful departments of the country. Their GPS navigation signals are not only highly accurate, but can also ensure that the navigation signals are not interrupted at any time.
?The second is the top version of the GPS navigation package, which is mainly used in aviation giants such as Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus. The accuracy is naturally not as high as that of the military, but the signal can be guaranteed to be uninterrupted.
The worst thing is that the navigation accuracy is not high, and the signal is easily interrupted in case of emergencies.
Ascendas Group's ty-6 drone uses the worst GPS components. It's not that Ascendas Group is reluctant to spend money to buy the best. The key is that they won't sell it to you. The reason is the same as Ascendas Group's philosophy, which is to maintain world peace. , to promote human development, so what is the use of the weapon-grade high-precision GPS components that your Ascendas Group wants? Entry-level civilian products can fully meet any of your needs.
With the idea that something is better than nothing, Zhuang Jianye endured his nausea and approved the import business. As a result there was something wrong with the ground monitoring station in Hawaii, and the ty-6 drone flying in the sky directly The gps signal was cut off.
It¡¯s completely like a stepmother.
In contrast, the hu-25d "Guardian" command patrol aircraft commanded by Cole is really closer than his own son. The accuracy dropped from 15 meters to 85 meters. It seems that the drop is astonishing, but it can be said that these two groups It¡¯s really hard to say how much influence the numerical value will have on a patrol aircraft converted from a business jet.
You must know that the hu-25d has entered the air traffic control range. Even if there is no navigation information, it can still land smoothly by relying on ground guidance.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back and there is no air traffic control, the hu-25d will not be able to fly to the destination? Of course, there is no problem. The range of 85 meters is considered to be highly accurate in the world, which is enough to ensure that the hu-25d can safely arrive at the designated landing airport.
Because of this, Cole was surprised at first, but then he was very calm and did what he was doing. Even if the rear commander reported an abnormality in the GPS, Cole didn't care. His navigation accuracy was within a safe range, so there was nothing to worry about. Yes, just fly according to the established route.
Compared to the GPS signal anomaly, Cole was more concerned about the news just returned from the rear USS Rush. There was actually an aircraft in the airspace 60 kilometers southwest of the hu-25d "patroller" command patrol aircraft under his command at an altitude of 15,000 meters. An out-of-control drone.Previously, Cole was still wondering how the aps-143b multi-purpose radar equipped with his hu-25d "Guardian" command and patrol aircraft was not said to have the best performance, but it was also among the best among similar products. How could it be released? Was the electronic decoy signal discovered by the air traffic control of a large Eastern country?
Could it be that the electronic level of a certain big country in the East has surpassed that of the Soviet Union before its disintegration?
It turned out that where the electronic technology explosion of a large eastern country was, it was clearly an eye stuck in one's head. It's no wonder that the other party's air traffic control was able to catch him tightly. It turned out that their unmanned reconnaissance plane had already been up high in the sky. Circle back.
Knowing this situation, Cole could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Who would have thought that the other party would use a drone to detect their whereabouts.
Of course, Cole¡¯s hindsighted smile only lasted for a moment, and more often than not, he was watching the fun with malicious intent.
Because he learned from the Rush behind him that the reason why the drone of a certain big country in the East went out of control was probably due to abnormal GPS signal, which caused the satellite navigation to be interrupted. Therefore, this shining eye in the sky has a big impact. There is a chance that he will get lost in the vast sea space, and then fall headfirst into ruins.
Of course, Cole is eager to realize this as soon as possible. He actually dares to peek above his head. Now, okay, the GPS signal is slightly abnormal and his original shape is revealed. He dares to play cat and mouse game between the sea and the air. , and I don¡¯t even see if I have that ability.
"It's a pity that we have been caught by the other side's air traffic control, otherwise we really want to fly over and see how their drones circle in the sky."
Staring at the strange trajectory of the drone detected by airborne radar, Cole crossed his arms over his chest, with a little regret on his proud face.
Huffington Post reporter Dawn from the side also nodded regretfully: "I am the same, that floating feeling of falling has a different kind of tragic beauty. If it could be recorded with a camera, it would definitely be a Pulitzer News Award to the most favorable competitor.¡±
"Yeahit's a pityum? What's going on? Why did the signal disappear?"
Cole sighed in agreement, as if he could win the Pulitzer Prize for journalism, but just when he was about to continue talking about this topic, the small black dot that was drawing strange circles on the screen suddenly disappeared. Cole, who had been staring at the screen, immediately stopped talking, straightened up, and typed on the keyboard for a long time, but saw no movement on the screen.
At this time, Dawn said: "Could it have crashed?"
Cole did not answer immediately, but thought for a while and then nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled outbut"
"Sir, look, outside the cabin" In the middle of Cole's words, the pilot in the cab suddenly roared. Cole quickly turned his seat and pulled up the curtains of the porthole behind him, and then he seemed to be under a spell. He was frozen there like a curse, and outside the cabin, he saw a sci-fi-looking drone the size of a light fighter jet flying side by side against the side of the hu-25d
