C2957 Automatic Flight
Now, Elder Soong was already old. Of course, he wouldn't give in to old age. Elder Soong was still fighting on the front line, trying to overcome the technical difficulties of the 5th Generation Machine. As for Engineer Yang, he was pushing forward the existing projects. This UAV naturally fell into his hands.
Currently, Engineer Yang was in his prime. His entire body was emitting vitality as he devoted himself to the development of aviation technology. Engineer Yang also had the stage of being an ambassador.
At this moment, Engineer Yang and the rest were beside the plane, making the final preparations before taking off.
This plane was very large, subverting many people's imaginations.
Generally speaking, the UAV was small and exquisite. After all, it was just a battlefield investigation. But this one was different. This one was more than ten meters long. It was completely a big guy, and its wingspan was even bigger. General Gamal looked at the strange thing with a surprised expression. He knew that this should be a secret project of Han Country. However, the Han Country had always been open to the Sanctity Country. Whatever the Sanctity Country wanted to buy, the Han Country would provide.
Now, a few of them strode towards the UAV. Their eyes were filled with surprise as they looked at this strange-looking airplane.
"President Qin." When he saw Qin Guan, Engineer Yang waved his hand skillfully. This was a technical expert. At this moment, his mind was fully focused on technical skills. After a while, he only turned his head when he noticed that there was someone beside Qin Guan. He looked at them seriously.
"General Gamal?" Yang Gong recognized him. After all, the lightning fighter aircraft of Sanctity Country. Therefore, they had a very good relationship with Sanctity Country. They just didn't pay attention to it just now, but now that they had observed it carefully... They could immediately tell what it was.
"Engineer Yang, what is the background of this huge plane?" Jamal was very interested.
"This is a large-scale battlefield surveillance plane that we specially built." Engineer Yang began to introduce it. "Its most important device is the Aircraft Belly's radar, as well as the infrared and television sensors over there."
When investigating the ground, synthetic aperture radars are always the most important method. It can scan all kinds of terrains on the ground, and it can also detect all targets on the ground. Moreover, they wouldn't be affected by the bad weather.
Under the Aircraft Belly, half of the space was occupied by the Radar Antenna. Behind it were infrared and optical sensors.
Although these devices were inherited and developed from the reconnaissance aircraft, they had all been specially modified to suit the usage of the UAV.
The bulkhead was also the result of a large number of electronic devices installed inside. Of course, this was the design that President Qin had initially given them. Reality proved that this design was quite good.
The two large wings on both sides could store enough fuel. This kind of aircraft's flight distance was 20,000 kilometers. It was not wrong to say that it was a global eagle.
Qin Guan also circled around the plane with great interest. When he came to the back of the plane and looked at the engine at the tail, he could roughly guess the origin of the engine.
There were only a few domestic engines, but for a reconnaissance plane, there was no need to bring power to the combustion room, but it was not easy to deal with. Therefore, the engine of this plane should be the same as the one on the J-14. It was an imitation F404 engine with a low fuel consumption rate. It was only logical that the acceleration combustion room was removed.
At this moment, there was a data interface under the Aircraft Belly. A technician was holding a specially-made military reinforcement notebook. They were here to fill up the data for the reconnaissance aircraft. The characters on the screen were jumping. Qin Guan could not understand it, but he could roughly guess what it was.
As unknown UAV, the most important thing was its ability to fly on its own. In the words of future generations, it was intelligent!
For a plane, the most difficult thing was to land. For this kind of plane, there had to be all kinds of adjusting procedures. There had to be a perfect landing procedure. After all, the UAV was not a model. It did not need to be remotely controlled. It had to be completely autonomous.
Of course, for it, landing and landing on its own was only a small test. After arriving at the battlefield, it would need a long time to hover above the battlefield. Carrying out a round of surveillance, what kind of flight path it took, how to carry out surveillance... Of course, it could control the rear, and it had its own specialized program to deal with it.
It had to have its own judgment ability, this kind of judgment ability, this is the difficulty of development, which is also true intelligence. It wants to find all kinds of targets to determine which target is the highest level of threat. Even if we add missiles to it in the future... It could also launch an attack the moment it discovered the threat.
"This UAV is currently using four Han Xin # 4 Processing Device." Sure enough, as if knowing what Qin Guan was thinking, Engineer Yang introduced, "We have specially carried out anti-electromagnetic pulse and anti-interference shielding measures. As for the specialized military chip, we found that the program we compiled is getting bigger and bigger. The military chip can't handle it. "
Actually, the best part would be to develop an artificial intelligence chip. But in this era, delusions are still impossible, that's impossible. Therefore, they could only use civilian chips. After all, the performance of civilian chips far exceeded that of military chips for several generations. The civilian chip could now reach 2G computing ability.
To let this UAV fly on its own, even the civil chip would need four pieces. It could be imagined how large the data needed to be processed was.
"Two of the chips are used to control the aircraft's flight. The other two are used to compress the data." Engineer Yang continued his introduction.
With this introduction, Qin Guan understood.
Data compression was naturally a big problem.
In the past, the reconnaissance aircraft would fly over and film the film before researching it. Of course, they would not be able to discover the problems on the battlefield in time. With the improvement of technology, synchronous transmission was a must.
However, these data were all rather huge. One had to know that merely transmitting the video was enough to make the severely lacking communication bandwidth insufficient. Therefore, in order to be able to transmit the messages in time, they needed to deploy a few UAV in an area. Then, he would have to compress the data within the UAV in advance. That was necessary.
After compressing the image without any damage, it would not be a problem for the data to be reduced to one-tenth of its original size. It would greatly reduce the requirements for the communication bandwidth. Of course, a new problem followed, which was to have a high enough data processing ability. This was completely real, and there could not be any falsehood. Therefore, he could only use the most advanced processor on the market.2
In fact, this was also a very normal operation. The various equipment in the Y Country Army team were actually using a large number of civil processing equipment. After all, the performance of the military was indeed lacking.
