“So this Fujia intelligent attack drone is equipped with a high-speed obstacle avoidance system, which can detect obstacles around the drone in real time and adjust the drone’s flight attitude in real time while flying at high speed.
In fact, this technology is not new. It has been used before on our 'Battlefield Sweeper' small high-speed attack drone.
However, we have improved this technology when using this Fujia intelligent attack drone. Its 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 is professionals and practitioners, how could they not know the importance and advancement of this technology.
How to achieve accurate and rapid obstacle avoidance at high speeds is also a cutting-edge technology field that major technology giants around the world are competing to study.
This technology has very important applications in many fields. For example, it is widely used in autonomous driving, which is currently the most popular.
Its main function is to assist the car in autonomous driving on the one hand, and on the other hand to enable emergency braking when it suddenly encounters an obstacle, which is the anti-collision function.
In addition to cars, high-speed trains are also widely used in high-speed railways. Just like the self-driving technology of cars, one of the development directions of high-speed trains is unmanned driving.
And the more important role of this technology is to prevent high-speed trains from suddenly encountering obstacles while driving, thereby decelerating and braking.
You know, no matter what kind of vehicle, the faster the speed, the longer the braking distance.
If a car traveling at 80 kilometers per hour wants to brake completely, it needs a distance of 20 to 25 meters. Shorter than this distance, it will directly hit the obstacle.
For a car with a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, it takes about 40 to 45 meters to completely brake. If a car traveling at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour wants to brake completely, it needs a distance of about 100 to 120 meters.
As for the emergency braking distance of high-speed trains, the speed of the train is faster, and its mass is very heavy, so it is very difficult to completely brake it. According to my country's current "Railway Technical Management Regulations", 'the emergency braking distance of a train on any railway ramp is 800 meters'.
And this standard is still limited, it must not exceed 120 kilometers, which means that if this speed limit is exceeded, the braking distance will be far more than that.
In addition to trains, there are also ships. Although the speed of ships is very slow, it is far inferior to cars and trains. However, the tonnage of ships is too heavy, often tens of thousands of tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons. It is very difficult to make it emergency brake.
Because of the properties of water, ships have poor braking capabilities. Therefore, we often see many ship collision accidents. The reason is that the distance is too close and there is no time to brake.
Similarly, there are aircrafts, especially the drone market, which has been relatively active in recent years, and is also studying this technology.
But the plane is too fast and its braking ability is even worse, almost non-existent. The only way is to swerve to avoid it. Therefore, there are still great limitations in using this technology on aircraft, especially in terms of high-speed and ultra-long-distance detection.
Previously, Wu Hao and others successfully used this technology on the 'Battlefield Sweeper' small high-speed attack drone.
Later, this technology was also widely used in Wu Hao’s drones, as well as some autonomous driving and anti-collision technologies for cars on the market.
This time, Wu Hao and the others took out this technology again and successfully used it on their Fujia intelligent attack drone, and demonstrated amazing, no, it should be said to be breathtaking performance.
The low-altitude and high-speed crossing of the canyon being displayed is enough to prove the uniqueness of this technology. In a canyon with a narrowest distance of thirty meters and multiple sharp bends of less than 110 degrees, the two Fujia intelligent attack drones were like fish swimming in the water, swimming through it very nimbly and lightly.
Just when everyone was concentrating on watching the picture on the big screen, Tao Guangcheng on the side suddenly asked a question, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
"Can this high-speed obstacle avoidance technology be applied to our fighters?"
As a division commander, he always considers how to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops. From this technology, he saw related possibilities.
This kind of ultra-low-altitude, high-speed obstacle-crossing flight is indeed dangerous, and even many experienced pilots do not dare to try it easily. But if this technology is applied to fighter aircraft, it means that all fighter aircraft have this excellent high-speed obstacle avoidance capability. In that case, the combat effectiveness of current fighter aircraft will be greatly improved.
Faced with this question and the fiery gazes of everyone, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head.
“This technology is used in conjunction with the autonomous flight control technology of our drones. If only a single technology is applied to fighter aircraft, it will not bring much help to pilots.
To put it bluntly, when a manned fighter plane flies this kind of canyon route, it tests the pilot's quick reaction ability and precise control ability. Obviously, this technology does not have this capability. "
"What if this autonomous flight control technology is also installed on fighter planes?" The question this time was Xiao Yunfei. Obviously, he also saw the broad application prospects of this technology.
Wu Hao glanced at him when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "It's still very difficult. First of all, the manned aircraft has its own flight control system. So if you want to install this autonomous flight control system, you need to control the two System transformation and integration.
Even if they are not integrated together, the two systems must cooperate with each other and not affect each other.
Secondly, when flying over such a dangerous canyon route, you need to switch to the autonomous flight mode of the fighter aircraft, so that the performance of this high-speed obstacle avoidance system can be exerted.
At this time, the pilot needs to completely trust the fighter aircraft and this system, and cannot interfere with the autonomous flight of the fighter aircraft.
Often at this time, the pilot will be under great psychological pressure, making it difficult for the pilot to fully trust the pilot and unconsciously influence or control the aircraft. "
"You are right, this habit is indeed difficult to correct. But this system can indeed greatly improve the combat effectiveness of fighter aircraft, and it must be worthy of attention." Xiao Yunfei nodded.
Hearing Xiao Yunfei's words, Li Weihua on the side immediately responded: "Yes, we will organize relevant technical experts when we get back to study the possibility of using this technology and this system on fighter aircraft, and submit a feasibility report as soon as possible."
