Chapter 1878: Flying drone

Qin Guan inexplicably remembered the parallel space-time Global Hawk, that kind of large drone, which is about the size of an ordinary fighter jet, and can autonomously take off and land on the runway, and when it flies, It can cruise in the sky for a long time, and even its wing can mount missiles and attack the ground when needed.
The current UAV can only detect, but after the Global Hawk has detected the target, it no longer needs to call the air patrol fighter, and it can solve it by itself.
UAVs are the future direction. The next generation of fighters after the stealth aircraft will be mainly UAVs. After all, after the cancellation of people, the overload of the aircraft can be further increased, and people can withstand the overload of 9G. That's the limit, and in the case of drones, they are often overloaded above 20G, which is no problem.
Of course, for drones to be able to fight, it requires an extremely complex flight control system, which is definitely not possible now, and neither software nor hardware supports it.
Even aircraft carriers have begun to engage in electromagnetic catapults, which are prepared for drones. You must know that the ejection power required by drones is not large. If you use a steam catapult, it is not appropriate to adjust it to the minimum. This kind of electromagnetic catapult can be as big as you want to be able to easily eject the drone.
These are all for the future. Now, let's start with the ordinary ASN-206 in front of you!
Today's weather is pretty good. There is no northwesterly wind, and the sun shines in the snow. It looks so magnificent. The vast white grassland has a special flavor.
Qin Guan stood outside the launch vehicle and watched the launch procedure started. The drone's engine was started first, and the propeller was whirring, but with this little power, it couldn’t fly directly. of.
Then, a flame burst out from the abdomen of the drone, and the snowfield behind the launch vehicle was grilled by the hot air. The white snow melted quickly, exposing the yellow grass below.
In the autumn, the grasslands have withered and turned into yellow grasslands. These snow-covered grasslands will become green again in the second year.
Now, the fiery air current is scorching the earth, and under the thrust of the rocket, the drone swishes out, and this scene is similar to hitting a bazooka. When there is a flower in front of you, the drone jumps. It's tens of meters.
Then, the booster landed and the drone began to enter normal flight.
"The height is two kilometers, the speed is 150." In front of the console, Mr. Zhang has already begun to give orders.
The program of the drone is still very imperfect, so more often, manual control on the ground is required. Of course, this is not to control the flight of the drone with a joystick. In many cases, they input instructions and then After the drone receives the instruction, it adjusts its flight.
If the Beidou navigation system is added in the future, it is enough to design its flight route directly on the operation interface. With the digital map, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Mr. Zhang thought of Qin Guan’s new plan, which is interest. exuberant.
At this moment, there were several screens in front of the console, and Qin Guan knew that this was the activation of the surveillance equipment on the drone.
Han is still relatively poor, so it is impossible to specialize in various dedicated drones. The drone in front of us is small and comprehensive.
This unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with a large number of reconnaissance and surveillance equipment, including vertical cameras and panoramic cameras, infrared detection equipment, TV cameras, positioning calibration equipment and so on.
"We have equipped this drone with a large number of optical equipment, including monochrome and color CCD cameras, 3-color CCD cameras, and 8 to 12 micron infrared and 3 to 5 mm focal plane array infrared cameras. These are all of this era. The most advanced technology." Mr. Zhang, seeing that Qin Guan was interested in the images on the screen, immediately introduced him to Qin Guan.
In the old days, photography could only be carried out using film. During investigations, real-time transmission was not possible. Only after returning, the film was processed to find out, even for artificial satellites. It had a lot of returnable small boxes for shooting. After that, send the film back.
This method is of course inconvenient. Fortunately, technology is constantly improving, and new materials are emerging in endlessly. Bell Labs soon discovered a new material that can be photosensitive, that is, CCD technology.
It became practical quickly. In 1969, the CCD chip was used as the photosensitive material of the camera in the camera mounted on the Apollo moon landing spacecraft. After more than ten years, in 1981, Sony Corporation produced The world's first video camera using CCD electronic sensors as photosensitive materials, soon, a large number of manufacturers began to research, and digital cameras were born.
Later generations of mobile phones are so small and can take various photos because the CMOS chip inside is made of photosensitive material.
Now, this kind of drone of our own side also uses this most advanced technology. Of course, there are also sayings that the development of these equipment has received technical support from the Kingdom of David. As for the specifics, Qin Guan does not want to go. Go deep, regardless of whether the cat is white or black, the one who catches the mouse is a good cat. No matter what method is used, as long as it can improve its own technology and obtain scientific research results, it can be used.
Qin Guan looked at the image above curiously. The image at the beginning was still very blurry. After several focusing, the image became clearer and clearer.
"Fly to the west." Qin Guan said, "Look at our mining area."
After Qin Guan got off the plane, he saw the magnificent construction of the coal-to-oil plant on the way here, bringing the grassland city to life. The coal mine still didn’t see it. Now, it’s freezing in this cold day, and Qin Guan Don't just go over and take a look, let your drone's eyes show it.
"Of course there is no problem." Mr. Zhang said: "Plan the route and head to the mining area."
They are not familiar with it either. First find the location of the mining area on the map, and then design the instructions and input them to the drone. If there is a digital map, it will definitely be faster.
The drone in the sky has long been invisible, only the image it sends back is still so clearly visible.
"This UAV also needs to be equipped with our C3I module and integrated into our integrated combat system." Qin Guan remembered something and continued to say to Mr. Zhang.
