Hearing Luo Kai's words, Wu Hao nodded, and then said to everyone present: "It is understandable that the military has such concerns. After all, the flight data of an aircraft contains a lot of data information.
For example, the route the aircraft flies, as well as the aircraft's various performances, as well as some of the pilot's flying habits, etc. Once this data information is leaked, it will be extremely harmful. "
His words made everyone present nodded. Indeed, the flight data of an aircraft contains too much data and information. Not to mention the military, even ordinary airlines will not leak this data information easily.
Wu Hao continued: "Of course, the flight data of Air Force military aircraft has its own particularity, which will greatly promote our intelligent unmanned driving training of large aviation aircraft. Especially in some Flights in complex sites and weather environments, as well as some large maneuvers, are very lacking in our civil aviation flight data.
Therefore, if our intelligent unmanned technology for large aviation aircraft is only satisfied with ordinary civil aviation aircraft, such as medium-sized or large regional trunk airliners, then there will be no problem, and it will be relatively simple.
All we need to do is to fly from this airport to the target airport steadily. During this period, we only need to take off, land, fly smoothly, and then perform some corresponding actions according to some ground instructions.
In the civilian field, whether it is a passenger aircraft or a cargo aircraft, it is only used for general transportation tasks. This only requires patrolling the intelligent unmanned systems of large aviation aircraft, and it does not need to be that complicated at all.
But if the intelligent unmanned technology of this large aviation aircraft is used for military use, there will be more factors to consider. After all, the operating environments and tasks of military and civilian use are very different.
To give a very simple example, let’s take off and land at complex airports. Civil aviation is basically useless in this regard, because the worst airport facilities for civil aviation are hardened runways.
As for military aircraft, especially military transport aircraft, they need to take off and land in places that are narrow, short, or even in fields.
This data is something we cannot obtain from civil aviation, and it is also crucial for the implementation of autonomous takeoff and landing in such a complex environment. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Academician Tang Shizhen immediately followed Wu Hao's words and said: "Yes, this is indeed a problem.
So now we have to see whether the direction of our project is to follow the military development route, the civilian development route, or the military-civilian integration development route.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer the development path of military-civilian integration. This can not only meet the needs of the military, but also take into account the economic benefits of the civilian market.
However, just like Wu, I will call you Xiao Wu. Tang Shizhen greeted Wu Hao, and then continued: "Military environmental use, mission and civilian use are two different concepts. Therefore, without the support of military data, we cannot meet the military's usage requirements." "
Deputy Director Qi, who was sitting in the first seat, saw Academician Tang Shizhen finish his speech and immediately said with a smile: "I think what Director Luo (Luo Kai) said is also true. We should also take into consideration the military's worries and worries.
At present, this technology has just been launched, and I think there is no urgent need for relevant military aircraft flight data from the military at this stage.
What we need to do now is to first figure out the basic structural framework of the intelligent unmanned driving technology for this large aerospace vehicle.
Then, fill in relevant information and data into this framework according to relevant needs.
As everyone has said, military and civilian needs are different. I think they can be treated differently, which makes it relatively simple. "
At this time, Director Song of the Flight Test Center, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said: "Actually, our project is mainly researching the intelligent unmanned driving technology of large aviation aircraft.
That is to say, large aircraft. So what kind of large aircraft is it? Specifically, it is a medium-sized large passenger aircraft or a cargo aircraft. In the military field, there are some medium and heavy transport aircraft, tankers, patrol and warning aircraft, early warning aircraft and other large aircraft that need to fly for a long time in the air and fly relatively smoothly.
There is no automatic assisted piloting technology for aircraft. This system is now available on large and medium-sized civil aviation aircraft.
Just fly the aircraft to a predetermined altitude, determine the route, and then switch to automatic flight mode. In this way, the aircraft can fly along a predetermined route and at a fixed altitude.
As for the pilot, he can completely ignore it. He only needs to monitor relevant flight data and intervene in time to take over the aircraft when necessary.
The intelligent unmanned driving technology of this large-scale aviation aircraft we developed is more comprehensive and intelligent on this basis. It not only includes the automatic cruise flight of the aircraft, but also includes autonomous takeoff and landing, automatic response to emergencies in the air, and corresponding actions according to ground instructions.
To put it bluntly, the intelligent unmanned driving technology of this large aviation aircraft we are studying does not assist the pilot in flying, but replaces the driver.
In this regard, I think it is unrealistic and probably unacceptable to society to completely replace drivers at this stage.
Especially in the field of civil aviation, I am afraid that the acceptance of the intelligent unmanned technology of our large aviation aircraft will be lower than what everyone thinks.
I think the only feasible thing is that there is still a lot of room for application in medium and large cargo aircraft. In particular, the highly developed field of online shopping logistics in our country has also prompted the rapid development of our aviation logistics.
If this technology is put into use, it will greatly reduce the operating costs of some aeronautical physics companies in this area.
However, in fact, having said that, it also saves the cost of a pilot team. Whether this cost is worth the value of our system is actually hard to say.
After all, for major airlines and aviation logistics companies, what they want and hope most is to control costs. So I am not optimistic that they will spend such a large amount of money to purchase intelligent unmanned systems to equip our large aviation aircraft. "
Speaking of this, Director Song glanced at Luo Kai, and then continued: "Next, let me talk about the military field. Again, I am not too optimistic about it."
"Huh?" After hearing what Director Song said, not only Luo Kai, but also Wu Hao and the others looked at him. Everyone couldn't help but underestimate him. Could it be that Director Song was a professional troublemaker?
