Chapter 289 Shadow
When Yang Lin and his friends arrived in Zhaonan City, Han Rushan had been waiting for a long time. Standing with him to greet Yang Lin, there was also a lieutenant general of the 6th Army, a major general of the 6th Army and the heads of two other Baicheng bases.
Han Rushan introduced each other, and Yang Lin learned that the 6th Army Lieutenant General named Jiao Jiuming was the deputy director of the Army Equipment Exhibition, and the major general was Weijie, the newly established Chief of Staff of the 6th Army. The remaining two were Fan Qichen, director of the Baicheng Experimental Center, and Yang Jiaming, chief engineer.
Yang Lin did not expect the military to attach so much importance to it. The Chief of Staff of the 6th Army and the Deputy Ministers of the Equipment Exhibition Department of the Military Commission appeared at the same time.
However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the "Dark Sword" project can be regarded as the cutting-edge combat power of China's ** side's future conventional operations, and its importance is undoubtedly.
Moreover, through cooperation with Starring Technology on Winglong drones, they have already tasted the sweetness. If DJI's tactical drone can really be equipped with a large-scale assembly of the 6th Army, there is no doubt about the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the 6th Army in the future.
Even in the internal discussions of the military, some people have suggested applying artificial intelligence technology to the Changjian series of cruise missiles.
Imagine how strategic significance is behind a cruise missile that can actively avoid enemy air defense missiles intercept or even automatically find high-value targets.
If these cruise missiles are loaded with nuclear warheads, they can even achieve the combat effectiveness of medium-range ballistic missiles, and the strike accuracy will be far away.
But there is no other way now. Starring Technology is a private capital after all. Let it penetrate into the process of strategic weapons such as the Changjian Cruise Missile. The cooperation between the two sides has not reached that level, and the resistance within the high-level is too great.
China is not the United States, and no one dares to hand over such a project to a private enterprise. Even in the cooperation of "Dark Sword" drone, the senior management has many oppositions.
At least Han Rushan knew that the reason why the military agreed to cooperate with Star Ring Technology this time was because the Great Elder made a voice, which made it so smooth.
Of course, the military has another layer of thought in cooperation with Starring Technology.
With the artificial intelligence technology currently mastered by the military, it is difficult to launch cruise missiles that can actively avoid enemy interception. Because the method is to improve the level of AVIC and Aerospace Science and Technology Group in artificial intelligence technology through cooperation on the "Dark Sword" drone. When the artificial intelligence technology of these military enterprises meets the requirements of the military, it will not be of great significance to cooperate with Starring Technology at that time.
"Mr. Yang, thank you for your hard work!"
"What's this? Minister Jiao and Chief of Staff Liu can come here in person. Yang is flattered!"
"Haha, if you can see the performance of the 'Shadow' drone, you won't need to go this trip!"
Everyone laughed immediately.
The "Shadow" drone is the platoon-level tactical drone provided by DJI to the military.
Although DJI’s drones are civilian products, they are one of the few weapons in China that have ever experienced actual combat.
Just at the beginning of this year, the Syrian opposition claimed that it intercepted a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft through radio interference and exposed photos of the aircraft. Later, netizens found that the drone was actually developed by DJI and was publicly launched at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany. The price of such a drone that is similar to a toy on Taobao is 4,000 yuan.
After the news came out, it immediately attracted heated discussions among netizens, and netizens expressed their pride!
China's toys have become high-tech products in the eyes of small countries, which shows that our real military products will be even more powerful. The future of the world must be our Chinese. The creativity and imitation power of our Chinese people are the best in the world. The United States and its lackeys, you can do some useful things for peaceful coexistence. Don't think of any wrong ideas to surround our Chinese dragons. Comments like ba1aba1a can be found in the future.
But to be precise, this d-stimulus drone used by the Syrian government forces for battlefield reconnaissance can indeed be regarded as a toy. Its cruise flight time is only 1015 minutes, and its effective remote control control distance is only 0 meters. Its survivability is limited on the real battlefield.
But the "Shadow" drone is completely different.
The "Shadow" drone adopts an eight-axis linkage lift mechanism, and the full-electric cruise flight time has also been increased to about one and a half hours, which can meet the reconnaissance needs of combat troops within a radius of ten kilometers.
In addition, this drone is equipped with a multimode camera that can rotate freely at 36o°. It has conventional and infrared modes to meet the needs of night combat.
Moreover, due to the installation of an artificial intelligence flight system, it can actively avoid obstacles and not be intercepted by enemy electronic operations. The intelligent power management system can allow it to return to the takeoff point and merge with the manual remote control device before power is exhausted.
This manual remote control device is equipped with a Beidou satellite navigation system, which can start the self-destruction device on the drone when necessary.
Even if there is no such situation, if the remote control device is captured by the enemy, the "Shadow" drone will be judged by the artificial intelligence system to start self-destruction when it returns.
Yang Lin had long given Han Rushan and the others the technical information about the "Shadow" drone, so they didn't ask much. After a few greetings, the group entered the internal guesthouse of Baicheng Base.
Baicheng Base is located near the Korqin Grassland at the junction of Jilin, Inner Mongolia. However, in recent years, with the deterioration of the grassland environment, the sandstorm near Baicheng Base has become more and more serious. Sometimes when sandstorms come, it covers the sky and the sun, and weapons testing is impossible at all.
Unfortunately, Yang Lin and the others encountered this kind of weather. The day after they arrived at the Baicheng Base, a twelve-level strong wind blew on the grassland, and sand and dust covered the sky. In desperation, Fan Qichen and Yang Jiaming, directors of the Baicheng Experimental Base, had to cancel the original experimental plan.
It was not until the third day that the weather improved.
However, this improvement is only compared to the previous few days, and the real weather is still bad.
The low temperature of minus 18 degrees plus the strong wind of level 7 is still a big challenge for the "shadow" weighing less than 30 kilograms.
Fortunately, the sandstorm was not as serious as the previous few days, at least Yang Lin would not have to walk outside with a mask.
At 3:30 p.m. that day, the sun in the north had already set west, and in another half an hour the weather would completely dim.
The "Shadow" drone ushered in its first test mission to find an armored force hidden deep in the grassland within a radius of ten kilometers. (To be continued.)
