Vol 2 Chapter 853: Fighter autopilot technology
"So this smart attack drone is equipped with a high-speed obstacle avoidance system, which can detect obstacles around the drone in real time under high-speed flight conditions and adjust the drone's flight attitude in real time.
Actually, this technology is not new. It was previously used on our "Battlefield Sweeper" small high-speed attack drone.
However, we have made improvements to this technology when using this 凫徯 smart attack drone. The detection range, response speed, and detection accuracy have been greatly improved to adapt to faster flight speeds and larger drone bodies. "
Although Wu Hao just gave a brief introduction, everyone belongs to professionals and practitioners, so I don’t know the importance and advancement of this technology.
How to achieve accurate and fast obstacle avoidance at high speeds is also a cutting-edge technology field that is being researched by major technology giants around the world.
This technology has very important applications in many fields. For example, it is widely used in the most popular second automatic driving.
Its main function is to assist the car in auto-driving on the one hand, and on the other hand it can make emergency braking when encountering an obstacle suddenly, which is the anti-collision function.
In addition to automobiles, high-speed trains like high-speed railways are also widely used. Like the autopilot technology of automobiles, one of the development directions of high-speed trains is also driverless.
And the more important role of this technology is to prevent high-speed trains from suddenly obstructing in the course of traveling, thereby decelerating and braking.
You must know that no matter what the vehicle is, the faster the speed, the longer the braking distance.
For a car with a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, if you want to fully brake, you need a distance of 20 to 25 meters. Shorter than this distance, it will hit the obstacle directly.
For a car with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, it takes about 40 to 45 meters to brake completely. For a car with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, it needs a distance of about 100 meters to 120 meters to fully brake.
As for the emergency braking distance of high-speed trains, the distance is farther, the speed of the train is faster, and the mass itself is very heavy, so it is very difficult to brake it completely. According to my country's current "Railway Technical Management Regulations", the emergency braking distance of trains on any railway ramp is set at 800 meters.
And this standard is still limited, it must not exceed 120 kilometers, that is to say, if the speed limit is exceeded, then the braking distance is far more than that.
In addition to trains, there are ships. Although the speed of ships is very slow, they are far inferior to cars and trains. However, the tonnage of ships is too heavy, and they are often giants of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons. It is very difficult to make it brake urgently.
Because of the characteristics of water, the braking ability of ships is very poor. Therefore, we often see a lot of accidents where ships collide. The reason is that the distance is too close to brake.
Similarly, there is also airplanes, especially the drone market, which has been relatively active in recent years, is also studying this technology.
But the speed of the aircraft is too fast and the braking ability is worse. It can hardly be said that there is no. The only way is to steer and avoid. Therefore, the application of this technology on airplanes still has great limitations, especially in high-speed and ultra-long-distance detection.
Before, Wu Hao and the others successfully used this technology on the small high-speed attack drone of the "Battlefield Sweeper".
Subsequently, this technology was also widely used in Wu Hao and their drones, as well as some auto-driving and anti-collision technologies on the market.
This time, Wu Hao and the others took out this technology again, and successfully applied it to their 凫徯 smart attack drone, and showed amazing, no, it should be said that it is suffocating excellent performance.
The low-altitude and high-speed traversal of the canyon being displayed is enough to prove the opposite **** of this technology. In the narrowest distance of 30 meters, there are many sharp bends less than 110 degrees in the canyon, the two 凫徯 smart attack drones are like swimming fish in the water, very flexible and light to swim in the past.
Just when everyone was attentively watching the pictures on the big screen, Tao Guangcheng on the side suddenly raised a question, which successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"Can this high-speed obstacle avoidance technology be applied to our fighters?"
As a division commander, what he always considers is how to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops. From this technology, he saw the relevant possibility.
This kind of ultra-low-altitude and high-speed obstacle-crossing flight is indeed dangerous, even many veteran pilots dare not try it easily. But if this technology is applied to fighters, it means that all fighters have such excellent high-speed obstacle avoidance capabilities. In that case, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of current fighters.
Faced with this problem, and everyone's fiery eyes, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head.
"This technology is used in conjunction with our drone's autonomous flight control technology. If only a single technology is applied to the fighter, it will not bring much help to the pilot.
To put it bluntly, if a fighter plane is flying this canyon route, the test is the pilot's ability to react quickly and accurately. Obviously, this technology does not have this capability. "
"What if this set of autonomous flight control technology is also added to the fighter?" Xiao Yunfei asked this time~www.readwn.com~ Obviously he also took a fancy to the broad application prospects of this technology.
Wu Hao took a look at him when he heard the words, and then shook his head and said: "It is still very difficult. First of all, the manned aircraft has its own set of flight control system. So if you want to install this set of autonomous flight control system, you need to control these two The system undergoes transformation and integration.
Even if they are not integrated, the two systems must work together without affecting each other.
Secondly, when flying over this dangerous canyon route, it is necessary to switch to the autonomous flight mode of fighters, so as to give full play to the performance of this high-speed obstacle avoidance system.
At this time, it is necessary for the pilot to completely trust the fighter and this system and not interfere with the autonomous flight of the fighter.
And often at this time, the pilot will be under super psychological pressure, making it difficult for the pilot to fully trust, and will unconsciously influence or control the aircraft. "
"You are right, this habit is really difficult to correct. This system can indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the fighter, and it must be worth paying attention to." Xiao Yunfei nodded and said.
Hearing Xiao Yunfei's words, Li Weihua on the side responded immediately: "Yes, we will organize relevant technical experts to conduct research on the possibility of using this technology and this system on fighter aircraft, and submit a feasibility report as soon as possible."
