Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1272 It's all about drones and precision-guided munitions

Of course, with so many units vying for it, Jiang Chen is naturally much more comfortable handling it.Based on his previous cooperation experience in aviation research, he selected some elite soldiers from these institutes, and organized a project research and development team with Jiang Chen and his company's scientific research personnel to jointly be responsible for the research and development of this project.For this reason, Jiang Chen and the others have to pay a joint research and development fee, or rental fee, for the scientific research ranks that these experts and researchers come to.Moreover, after the success of this project, the relevant scientific research results, of course, mainly in terms of technology, will be jointly owned by both parties.

The reason why Jiang Chen put so much effort into getting this satellite is actually to pave the way for his next plan and related projects.First of all, the first one is in the field of mobile communications and Internet construction.Although it is said that this aspect is led by the post and telecommunications department, as a company that wants to make a difference in the Internet and mobile communication fields, how can it not have its own satellite communication system.In addition, that is to communicate with their branches and related offices or representative offices all over the world.In particular, their company is getting bigger and bigger, and it also involves a lot of sensitive information, so they attach great importance to communication security. This is also an important reason why Jiang Chen wants to have his own satellite communication system.

On the other hand, it is for their products.The future is a highly developed information society, and neither civilian products nor military products can be separated from information technology.The information-based combat style is also a benchmark for future combat modes.Therefore, having their own satellite communication system is intuitively important for the development of their future products.

For example, the aviation manufacturing industry that Jiang Chen and the others are vigorously developing now cannot do without satellite communication services.Although radio communication technology is the main technology in this area, communication over long distances still requires satellites for relay transmission.In addition, Jiang Chen has also been focusing on the research of drones, and an important core of drone technology is the ability to operate remotely.For a range of hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers, direct communication between the ground and space must not be used, and satellites are needed for relay transmission.

Although Jiang Chen and the others have achieved some results in the research and development of drones, to be honest, they are still far from Jiang Chen and his team.Two of the most important reasons are related to satellites.The first is remote timely operation technology and fast data transmission technology. These two technologies are difficult to achieve with the current domestic satellite communication technology. This is the main reason why Jiang Chen is so eager to develop his own digital communication satellite.

Everyone knows that in remote communication, there is a communication delay between the two parties, and this communication delay can be regarded as the speed at which data travels between the two parties.However, the current satellite communication technology is too slow to process and transmit data, and cannot support the transmission of this remote and timely operation data, as well as the transmission of data captured by various sensors of drones.Under normal circumstances, if we want to operate a drone thousands of miles away, we need to operate it based on the data it sends back, and these operations also need to pass through, and the drone will be trimmed accordingly.

Under normal cruising conditions, there is no problem, and it is okay to slow down. After all, the airspace is not like the ground, and the airspace is still very wide.However, once a combat mission is carried out, there are high requirements on the speed of information and data transmission between the two parties. Otherwise, it will be difficult to support drone air strike operations.

In the future, this kind of UAV combat technology will also have the problem of information transmission delay.And there are only two ways to solve it.First of all, the first is to increase the speed of information transmission and reduce this delay. So far, we have done a very good job in this regard.On the other hand, precision-guided weapons are used to attack. This type of precision-guided weapons mainly includes air-to-ground missiles and guided bombs.

It is also because of the delay between this kind of information transmission, so the drones developed now are mainly aimed at the ground.Air combat drones that pay more attention to quick response, maneuverability, and flexible operation, that is, the X47_B, neuron, and dark arrows, which are very popular in later generations, are one of the most important reasons for the slow development of unmanned attack aircraft technology. one.

Another satellite-related technology is satellite navigation technology, to be precise, the global satellite navigation system.What has been put into use at present, and the most famous one is of course the old American GPS global satellite navigation technology.It is also relying on this technology that Lao Mei played so well with precision-guided weapons in the previous Gulf War.It is precisely because of such a fancy display that many people have realized the power of this technology.

The so-called Global Navigation Satellite System, also known as GNSS.It is a space-based radio navigation and positioning system that can provide users with all-weather three-dimensional coordinates, speed and time information at any place on the earth's surface or in near-earth space.It is widely used in precision agriculture, scientific research, field biology, meteorology, earth science =, environmental monitoring, emergency and disaster assessment, security, celestial body and construction engineering and natural resource analysis positioning.The satellite navigation system has brought huge social and economic benefits to human beings. In later generations, relatively complete satellite navigation systems already include the American and old GPS and the Russian GLONASS system. Europe plans to launch its own Galileo satellite navigation system, as well as our Beidou satellite navigation system. .

During this period, the main one is the old American GPS, and the other three navigation systems have not yet come out or are still in the groping stage.In order to study a set of our own satellite navigation system, we have been very difficult along the way.Initially, we pinned our hopes on cooperation with Europe, hoping to jointly create a global satellite navigation and positioning system comparable to GPS.As a show of sincerity, we first remitted 2.7 million US dollars as funds to participate in the European-led Galileo navigation system.But later, Europe suddenly excluded us from the core members of the Galileo navigation system. The reason is that intellectual property issues and other issues no longer allow us to participate in the core design.This took away all our enthusiasm for working together to develop the Galileo system.It was originally a good cooperation, but after the successful research and development in Europe, we will buy it again.Even the core cannot be touched, so one day the Galileo system will also shut down the service in China, wouldn't it be the same result as the old American GPS.

So after that, we also began to devote ourselves to building our own Beidou navigation system.Since the Beidou system had a foundation before, we soon successfully launched three experimental satellites and turned it into an area navigation system.After that, we continued to work hard, and finally made this navigation system independently developed by us become one of the four major navigation systems in the world.Moreover, it is far ahead of the Russian and European navigation systems, and has become an existence that can challenge the old American GPS.

It is precisely because of a system that our related technologies will develop by leaps and bounds at an astonishing speed.Two of the most representative examples are our precision-guided munitions and our drone equipment.Relying on our independent Beidou navigation system, our military scientific research workers turned the weapons and equipment that looked so tall before, and the weapons and equipment that the old beauty was proud of everywhere, into Chinese cabbage, and everyone Affordable and affordable equipment.In this regard, Lao Mei expressed her helplessness and resentment towards us.In terms of its inner monologue, I spent so much money to build the super equipment, I just wanted to show off and earn some money, but my good guy, you knocked me down from the altar in a flash, who changed it? I can stand it.
