Chapter 1126 Remote Control Technology and Autonomous Control Technology [Modified Version]

Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone nodded in approval. Indeed, the examples mentioned by Wu Hao are also the most likely to occur in reality. With this system, these accidents can be avoided.

On this point, Director Song of the Flight Test Center had no opinion and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone did not intend to speak, Deputy Director Qi of the Aeronautical Technology and Aircraft Design Research Institute, who was the host of the meeting, said to everyone.

"There is no need to question this project, and there is no need to question it. Don't say anything else, just say that this project has been officially approved. Now that the project has been approved, then we will not question it, but put all our thoughts on this project. under development."

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Qi glanced at Director Song, and then continued: "What we are doing is large aircraft, that is, research and development of unmanned technology for medium and large aircraft.

The biggest difference between manned and unmanned technology, I think, should be whether the aircraft is controlled by humans or controlled by the system.

In unmanned driving technology, it can also be subdivided into two fields: autonomous control flight or remote control flight.

Most of the drones we are currently familiar with are basically remote-controlled flights.

That is, through the ground remote control, the UAV is controlled to take off and land, and perform a series of tasks.

In this remote control flight technology, there are also differences. The general traditional remote control technology is to set up a remote control station on the ground, or a command and control center. The driving control is carried out by specially trained drone pilots, or old pilots who have been transferred and retired.

This is equivalent to driving a drone remotely. All actions of the drone need to be controlled by the driver.

The more advanced ones are more automated and intelligent, such as drones with the ability to take off and land autonomously. The drone does not need a ground driver to control the driving. It only needs to issue instructions, and the UAV will autonomously complete the scheduled actions such as taxi takeoff or landing taxi.

For another example, the UAV does not require the intervention of the ground driver, can fly according to the predetermined route, and can also adjust the attitude and corresponding data of the aircraft according to the weather conditions.

In this way, the driver can concentrate on other tasks, such as concentrating on ground reconnaissance or strike missions.

And autonomous control technology,

That is to say, drones have the ability to think for themselves. It can complete a series of actions and tasks autonomously, such as autonomous take-off and landing, autonomous execution of some reconnaissance and strike missions, autonomous handling of some emergencies, and so on.

Highly intelligent, autonomous, and unmanned. Humans do not need to intervene directly, but only need to issue relevant instructions or orders.

For example, fly from airport A to airport B to scout the target area, or strike related targets, etc.

Only need to give instructions, the drone will autonomously think about the target, capture, confirm, lock, attack and a series of actions. "

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Qi took a sip of water, then took a look at Wu Hao, and then continued: "So which direction is our project going to develop, whether it is autonomous control technology or remote control technology.

Remote control technology is relatively mature for us at this stage, and the technical threshold is relatively low.

At present, a large number of our drones are using this technology, and the related technology has also developed relatively mature.

We only need to transfer and install it on medium and large aircraft. Of course, this does not mean that this technology is simple.

In fact, just this kind of transfer installation also involves many problems, especially for medium and heavy aircraft, the technical difficulty is even greater.

As for autonomous control technology, it is necessary to rely solely on the aircraft itself for flight control, without outside intervention.

To be honest, R\u0026D is very difficult and risky. However, the advantages of this technology are incomparable to remote control driving technology, both in terms of technical achievements and economic benefits are very huge. "

After speaking, Deputy Director Qi looked at the crowd and smiled slightly: "Actually, you don't have to make a choice, because the leaders above have already set the direction for us.

That is the combination of remote control driving and autonomous control driving, and the development of relatively less difficult remote control driving technology is carried out first. After the remote control driving technology has achieved good results, the research on autonomous driving technology will be carried out.

In this way, we can say that the advantages of these two technologies are taken into account, and the results can be seen in a short period of time.

In addition, it can not only take into account military needs, but also meet economic benefits, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results for multiple parties.

And there is another advantage in this way, that is, we can attract more funds to invest in the research and development process.

Although we are not short of research funds at present, this project is extremely difficult, not only requires massive research funds and resources, but also requires a long research cycle time.

In this way, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the investment of Haoyu Technology Company and our Aviation Industry Group, or the funding support from the military and the aviation department.

But if we include other airlines and even some aviation logistics companies, then we don't have to worry about funding. And with the continuous investment of these funds, it can also reduce the burden for several of us. "

Hearing Deputy Director Qi's words, everyone turned their attention to Wu Hao. Deputy director Qi represented the airline's attitude, and the rest were the military and aviation departments, so they naturally had no problem with this. It would even be nice to see these airlines join in, which could save them a ton of money.

Then only Haoyu Technology or Wu Hao is left. The joining of these airlines can indeed share a large part of their scientific research funding.

But at the same time, it also means that these airlines and aviation logistics companies will also divide up the huge economic interests that originally belonged to them.

So for Wu Hao and the others, this proposal has advantages and disadvantages.

Facing everyone's eyes, Wu Hao thought quickly in his mind for a while, then glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "It can save us a lot of scientific research funding, of course I like to hear it, but in terms of some cooperation details, I don't know." Hope to have a good discussion.

As a private commercial company, we certainly have our social responsibilities, but our most important task is to make profits.

It may seem that I am a little snobbish, or even ignorant of the general situation, but we also have our own difficulties. After all, a huge company needs me to support it, and tens of thousands of people need to eat. "
