Chapter 2376 Intelligent cluster attack drone

Shen Ning noticed that Wu Hao was browsing the comments of netizens and then smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Everyone is very concerned about our core-stage two-stage rocket return and landing experiment, and the evaluation is very high."

Haha, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head, then looked at Shen Ning and said, "That's good, at least Haoyu Aerospace's stock price can rise a little more."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, and then started to smile.

Wu Hao took a sip of coffee, then closed the transparent folding tablet and stood up and said to Shen Ning: "It's almost time, let's get ready to go."

OK Shen Ning smiled and nodded when he heard this.

After making some preparations, Wu Hao immediately set off and drove to the outdoor comprehensive experimental range more than ten kilometers away. Zhou Yonghui and Lin Jiaming were already waiting for him here. When they saw Wu Hao getting out of the car, they immediately came up to greet him.

Zhou Yonghui directly handed a military camouflage coat to Wu Hao and said: "Mr. Wu, it's too windy outside. You should wear thicker clothes and be careful not to freeze."

I'm alright. Although Wu Hao said this, he ended up wearing this military camouflage coat. Not to mention, it's indeed a lot warmer, at least there won't be any wind.

How are you preparing? Wu Hao adjusted his coat and asked the two of them.

Zhou Yonghui and Lin Jiaming smiled and nodded, then pointed to the observation command center over there and said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for you to come."

Okay, time is limited, let’s get started. Wu Hao waved his hand, and then, under the guidance of Zhou Yonghui and others, they came to the range observation command and control center on the cliff of the comprehensive experimental range.

Outside the control center, there was a piece of equipment on display. It was wrapped tightly in a desert camouflage tarpaulin, and it was difficult to see what was inside.

When Wu Hao and the others came to the front, Zhou Yonghui waved his hand and said: "Open the tarpaulin!"

yes! Several technicians responded, then ran to the equipment and pulled away the camouflage tarp covering it, revealing the lineup of equipment inside.

This is a set of weapons and equipment, arranged from large to small on a special iron frame. Its shape is a bit like a missile, but not exactly like a missile. The smallest are one hundred millimeters in diameter, while the largest are over six hundred millimeters in diameter.

The whole body is light gray, and the front of the entire projectile is shaped like a pumpkin petal, and the back is a smooth projectile. It is worth noting that there is a pair of flying wings on its missile body, which is currently in a folded and stowed state.

As for the tail, Wu Hao saw that in addition to the normal propeller, there was also a rocket engine nozzle. It seemed that there should be several power configurations, including pure propeller as power, propeller and rocket as both power, and pure propeller. Using rocket engines as power.

After a while, Wu Hao looked at the two of them who were looking at them with smiles and said with a smile: "Okay, stop blabbing and introduce us."

Okay, Zhou Yonghui nodded with a smile, then walked to Wu Hao and introduced: "The weapon and equipment you see in front of you is the latest developed intelligent cluster attack drone, or it can become an intelligent cluster attack drone. Drones.

Its principle is similar to cluster bombs and submunitions, but it is also very different. To put it simply, we hit multiple UAVs together, using the same parent missile body for loading and initial and mid-flight stages. When this smart cluster attack drone enters the war zone, or approaches the target, the missile body part in front of this smart cluster attack drone will separate, releasing multiple small attack drones for reconnaissance and patrolling. Attack the target. "

After hearing Zhou Yonghui's introduction, the people who followed Wu Hao basically understood it. These missile-like things are also drones, but they are just a mother-and-child drone. According to Zhou Yonghui's words, this is a mother drone carrying many child drones. When it approaches the target, the mother drone releases the child drones to attack.

However, this also caused many people to wonder whether this kind of attack drone is really necessary. Just let them fly in swarms. Why gather them together? If they are shot down, they will all crash.

It is better to use swarm tactics, which can greatly reduce the rate of drones being shot down by enemy air defense firepower, and maximize the ability of drone swarms to break through the enemy's air defense firepower network and reach the target area to launch attacks.

Lin Jiaming naturally noticed the doubts in everyone's expressions, and then explained with a smile: "Compared with ordinary drones, our intelligent cluster attack drone has many advantages.

Just like what Zhou just introduced, this intelligent cluster attack drone can separate multiple drones at one time and attack multiple targets at the same time, or it can control these drones to attack a single The target launches multiple rounds of attacks.

And this also means that an intelligent cluster attack drone like ours can attack multiple targets on the battlefield simultaneously. For example, use it to attack enemy armored vehicle assault groups, convoys, or effective forces distributed in multiple bunkers.

If ordinary drones or missiles are used to attack, they can often only choose one target to attack. Therefore, at this time, the operator will generally choose the target with the highest value to attack, while leaving other targets alone.

For example, if it attacks some enemy soldiers hiding in a bunker, the lethality of a single drone is very limited. Because these enemy troops will not be crowded into one trench and surrounded by us, but will be dispersed into multiple trenches and bunkers, dispersed and concealed.

When our drone happens to discover this position, due to time constraints, we can only choose to attack one target. But once the attack is launched, other enemy soldiers will know that their positions have been exposed, so they will immediately evacuate, not giving us a chance to strike again.

If our intelligent cluster attack drone is performing the mission, it will disperse multiple drones to attack multiple bunkers and fortifications in this position at the same time according to the on-site situation. In this way, even if Even when the enemy reacts, they cannot avoid the attacks of these drones, thereby maximizing the damage to the enemy and weakening the enemy's vocal targets.

Similarly, when our drone patrolling the battlefield discovers a secret local convoy, it can also disperse multiple drones to attack the vehicles and important targets in the convoy simultaneously.

This does not mean that waiting for other support to arrive will delay the fighter plane, or that the damage caused by the attack is limited, allowing other targets such as vehicles and personnel in the enemy convoy to escape. "
