Chapter 144 The First Obstacle Test
Although there have been many differences in the technology development of the "Battlefield Sweeper" high-speed attack drone, Yang Fan and Pang Yifei jointly launched the first engineering prototype of the high-speed attack drone.
There are many reasons. In addition to the tight time, it is also too difficult to accurately identify and avoid obstacles during high-speed flights.
In Pang Yifei's words, this is more than ten times more difficult than current autonomous driving technology.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. But this technology is really difficult, and the difficulty is the speed.
First of all, the limited volume and load limits the equipment that can be carried on the drone is very limited. The more equipment, the larger the size of the drone, which means it is more inconvenient to carry, and the higher the probability of being discovered and intercepted by the enemy.
Similarly, the more equipment, the heavier the weight of the drone. With limited power, the slower the drone's speed will be. This also means that this drone will lose its suddenness in attacks against the enemy and increase the probability of enemy discovery and interception.
But if the volume and load are controlled, the equipment installed on it is very limited. This also means that the number of various sensors cannot be too large, the size cannot be too large, and the power cannot be greater.
The low power restricts the detection distance, reduces the reaction time, and increases the difficulty of the drone avoiding obstacles.
Therefore, after the two teams fiddled with each other for more than ten days, Yang Fan finally spoke up and immediately received a response from Pang Yifei.
Then the two teams merged together to draw on each other's advantages, which led to a phased progress in technical research in this area.
"Is this the high-speed attack drone you developed?" Wu Hao frowned and frowned at the black drone in front of him, which was as big as two adult palms.
As the limited days approached, Wu Hao has been paying close attention to the research progress of this project. After hearing that the project has made phased progress and the first complex terrain test is about to be conducted, Wu Hao hurried over.
But the drone in front of me was a little disappointed, with a diameter of more than 40 cm, almost the same size as the civilian "elves" on the market.
Because it is a test engineering machine, it is relatively rough. There is no shell on the body, and there are various components and messy lines inside.
Seeing the disappointment on Wu Hao's face, Yang Fan smiled and said, "This is just our engineering prototype. If the test is successful, further optimization will be carried out. The volume will continue to shrink, and it will not be as large as it is now."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and while looking at the prototype of the project in front of him, he asked, "How to test it?"
Pang Yifei smiled at him and explained: "We have laid a barrier passage with a total length of more than 100 meters around the experimental building in our company's park.
We let the drone fly over this obstacle line to see if it can successfully cross it and how long it will take in total.”
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. When he came, he did see relevant facilities outside the laboratory building. At first, he didn't know what it was, but now he finally understands its real purpose.
Tak, Tak, Tak!
The three consecutive sounds raised his heart to his throat.
This is the sound of a drone hitting an obstacle. Although the drone is still flying, its speed has been significantly reduced.
"What's going on?" Yang Fanlai asked.
Pang Yifei stared at the screen and his face became solemn: "It's not clear yet. I can only find the reason when the test is over and the study of the flight trajectory and surveillance screen."
"Flying out!"
The technician next to him said excitedly!
Papapapapapapapa... Everyone who was watching the test also burst into warm applause.
