Chapter 285 Dark Sword Drone 2
Han Rushan nodded and said, "The 'Dark Sword' project was indeed frozen for various reasons, but now the situation is different. Due to the breakthrough of matrix digital in artificial intelligence technology, we decided to restart the 'Dark Sword' drone project..."
"Restart the Dark Sword Project?"
Yang Lin was slightly stunned.∷∷,
Everyone in the conference room did not feel much surprised at Han Rushan’s speech, and obviously they had known it in advance.
Han Rushan nodded and briefly introduced the implementation of the "Dark Sword" drone project to Yang Lin.
One of the many high-tech projects proposed by the "Dark Sword" drone in the development of China's aviation industry in recent years is the concept of the fifth-generation (the sixth-generation Russian standard) fighter jet, and is still in the pre-research stage.
At the end of October 2006, the "Dark Sword" unmanned combat aircraft made its first public debut at the Zhuhai Air Show, causing a sensation.
You should know that even now, most drones in the world choose subsonic aerodynamic layout, but the "Dark Sword" drone adopts an arrow-shaped wing body fusion layout similar to the B-2 and F117 hybrid in aerodynamic design. The fuselage part presents an arrow-shaped triangle in the vertical direction, and the flat streamlined fuselage and wings sleekly transition into an overall lift surface. The fuselage design can form an overall layout suitable for high-speed and large overload maneuvering flights.
Because of this, the Dark Sword UAV has supersonic speed, ultra-high maneuverability and low detectability. In addition, it also has powerful long-range detection and comprehensive electronic combat capabilities, mainly used for future air-to-ground combat, and is regarded as a concept aircraft of the next generation of fighter jets.
Due to the unique design of the Dark Sword UAV, it is completely different from the current drone development trend and is also different from the popular B-2 stealth bomber flying wing drones (including x47 and European neurons). It has drone air combat capabilities, making the research and development of the Dark Sword much more difficult than that of ordinary drones.
Whether it is a variable cycle engine, a brand new airborne phased array radar or an optical flight control system, it needs to be redeveloped, which is a great challenge for China's aviation industry.
Fortunately, Cheng Fei has accumulated strong technical strength in the J-20 project, which gives them the confidence to challenge the "Dark Sword" drone.
Of course. What’s more important is that the breakthrough of matrix digital in artificial intelligence technology has provided a little possibility for the development of Dark Sword UAVs.
If there is no matrix digital, I am afraid that the "Dark Sword" drone will have to remain silent for another ten years before it can be launched. But now, due to the outstanding performance of Mix instruction set chips and matrix language in military drone projects, the military has seen the possibility of the "Dark Sword" project being launched in advance.
Yang Lin nodded thoughtfully and said, "Minister Han, so you hope Starring Technology will also join the research and development of the Dark Sword UAV?"
Han Rushan nodded and smiled, "This is natural. But we hope that Mr. Yang can personally provide technical support for the Dark Sword project!"
Yang Lin's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Han Rushan meant.
In fact, the Mix instruction set chip and matrix language development tools provided by Matrix Digital to the outside world are all castrated versions. At most, the personification of an intelligent system can be increased to about 90%, and it will be difficult to go up further.
This kind of anthropomorphism is OK for civilian projects, but it has many shortcomings if it is applied to military projects.
This is also the reason why the Chinese government allows Mix instruction set chips and matrix language development tools to export to foreign countries.
In the Winglong 2 project, the matrix language development tool provided by Yang Lin to Feilong Aviation Industry Corporation is an optimized version, which can increase the system's anthropomorphism to about 98%. Such an intelligent control system is enough for a drone for ground attacks and reconnaissance missions, but it seems to be a bit insufficient for a drone for free air combat.
According to Yang Lin's estimate, if the drone wants to really invest in free air combat, the personification of its flight control system must reach at least 99.9%. This is the reason why Han Rushan and the others came to Yang Lin, because they all know that Yang Lin is very likely to have more advanced artificial intelligence technology in his hands.
Yang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Minister Han, the Dark Sword UAV should be a confidential project. I just joined in this way, it doesn't seem suitable for it. And you also know that I also need to take into account the development of Matrix Digital and Starring Technology Co., Ltd. and often go abroad. I don't have much time to develop intelligent combat systems for drones, so it may be difficult for me to join the Dark Sword project."
Han Rushan seemed not surprised to Yang Lin's answer, and smiled at Yu Chen and said, "Mr. Yang, please don't worry about this. We will not force you to join the research and development of Dark Sword. We only hope that you can provide technical support for the research and development of Dark Sword. As for the leak issue, we don't have to worry about it. You are holding the world's most advanced artificial intelligence technology. If you want to leak information, the value of this technology is countless times greater than that of Dark Sword drones..."
Yang Lin couldn't help but hesitate and said, "This..."
Han Rushan saw that Yang Lin was already a little moved, so he immediately added weights and said: "Mr. Yang, if you are willing to join the Dark Sword project, we can hand over the dominance of the Dark Sword project to Feilong Aviation Industry Corporation for research and development, and the R&D funds will be allocated by the military. In addition, if Starring Technology is willing to increase its capital for Feilong Aviation Industry Corporation, we will allow Starring Technology to hold no more than 50% of Feilong Aviation Industry Corporation's shares."
Yang Lin was shocked. He never expected that Han Rushan would have offered this condition.
You should know that the Dark Sword UAV is different from the Winglong UAV. As the next generation of China's next generation combat aircraft after the J-20, the R&D cost of the Dark Sword UAV is dozens of times higher than that of the Winglong UAV. If it is handed over to Feilong Aviation Industry Corporation to dominate, its profits are simply unimaginable.
More importantly, Han Rushan actually agreed to break the convention and hand over an important national defense and military enterprise to his private hands. If Yang Lin owns 50% of Feilong Aviation Industries, it means that he will have the real dominance of the company, and the meaning behind it is self-evident.
Yang Lin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, looked up at Han Rushan and said, "Minister Han, it is of great importance. I need to think carefully about this matter before I can give you a reply. I hope you can understand!"
Han Rushan and Yu Chen looked at each other and smiled and said, "This is no problem. We can give Mr. Yang a month. I hope Mr. Yang can give us an accurate reply in a month. Regardless of whether Mr. Yang agrees or not, we will not force Mr. Yang to do things." (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
