Although our country lags behind other advanced countries in many fields, it can keep up with the trend of the times in some emerging projects.

This is the case with the application and activation of drones.

The idea of ​​military drones was actually proposed by the British during World War I. In some years after the end of World War I, Britain and the United States completed the design and test flight of the first generation of products.

After World War II, with the rapid development of the aviation industry, the development of drones has also made great progress. It was not until the 1990s that miniaturized and functionalized drones ushered in a blowout exhibition. Various countries have officially installed them in the army and have even been used in actual combat.

In the late 1950s, our country began to study related technologies of drones and officially began to develop military-purpose drones in the mid-to-late 1960s. More than 30 years later, in the 1990s, several series of drones with target aircraft, reconnaissance and support as the main functions, and various models of drones were developed.

Starting from two thousand years, experimental installations have begun with thermal induction originals, high-definition surveillance lenses and other high-tech and functional drones.

At the same time, most foreign military forces in advanced countries already have professional drone troops. Satellite-guided attack drones and reconnaissance drones are now flying around the world, and they even break into our country's airspace from time to time.

Considering that drones will become more and more widely used in modern warfare, the General Equipment Department and the General Staff jointly organized this prize-winning design solicitation for drones.

On the one hand, I want to use this event to brainstorm our country’s future development of drones. On the other hand, I hope that all relevant universities and scientific research institutions will pay attention to the development and application of this technology in the future.

If ordinary people saw the collection activities on the military website, the first thing they thought of was the medium and large drone flying high or high altitude. After Qu Sen saw the news, his mind was full of Zhou Li's "little toy".

In Qu Sen's view, the medium and large drones that can detect high altitudes, even provide precise strikes and long-range fast tactical support are drones, and the little guy with four propellers of Zhou Li is also drones.

Medium- and large drones have the uses of medium- and large drones, and small drones also have the advantages and application range of small drones.

Legend has it that the Americans have launched many small and micro wireless detection equipment in quasi-biomorphic forms.

Although the machine flies and mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, it seems to be a bit sci-fi now. But a small drone with a small body and versatile function also has great potential for military use.

"What are you doing? Are you busy?" After the phone was connected, the sound of Zhou Li pressing her throat out of the receiver.

"I just saw the General Assembly and General Staff on the Military Network, jointly organizing a prize-winning collection of drone design plans, targeting various universities in the military." Qu Sen said quickly and urgently.

"That refers to medium and large drones." Zhou Li replied in a low voice.

"The event introduction is not marked. Medium and large ones are drones, while small ones are not drones." Qu Sen immediately answered.

After Zhou Li was silent for a few seconds, she replied: "Wait, I'll call to ask." After saying that, she hung up without waiting for Qu Sen to answer.

After about ten minutes, the phone started to vibrate. Qu Sen looked at the number and immediately picked it up, and asked anxiously: "How is it."

"You go now and summarize our previous ideas. We will have about one week, and the first phase of the test will be almost finished. We will sign up when Yingying and I go back!" Zhou Li said quickly and excitedly assigned Qu Sen the task.

The transition from idle to busy is so sudden. During the day, Qu Sen felt that there was plenty of time and had nowhere to put it in. He even had time to go to the computer room with Gao Bo and a few to play games online. But at night, it was already past eleven o'clock, and he was still typing at ord.

When Zhou Li's "little toy" was modified before, the three of them had many functional ideas. However, due to the inherent shortcomings of the carrier, all of these ideas remained in the design stage.

Qu Sen will first summarize these ideas in the week before Zhou Li comes back, and then eliminate those ideas that are jokes and science fiction. Then systematically list the directions that can be worked on.

After two days of statistics and removal, Qu Sen found that the ideas of him, Zhou Li and Li Ying were completely impossible to integrate them into the design of a drone.

Even if it can be done, it will greatly outweigh the ability of the three of them. After all, this solicitation activity is not just about solicitation ideas, but also about the participants.

No matter how good Qu Sen’s idea is, he can’t be able to participate in the competition, and others will remotely control their own entries to display them. They will stand aside and talk about the design plan to ppT.

After some straightening, Qu Sen roughly summarized three participation plans.

The first is a long-range drone equipped with originals such as thermal sensing. In Qusen's idea, this type of drone is mainly used to perform battlefield monitoring and reverse osmosis tasks under complex terrain and in small areas.

The second type is somewhat similar to Zhou Li's current "little toy", equipped with a high-definition camera and sound pickup component. However, the fuselage will be designed as thin and light as possible, and the propeller will also adopt a silent design. This kind of drone is mainly used in the operations of scouts and special teams, conducting secret reconnaissance and intelligence collection.

The third type is purely a thought of Qu Sen, inspired by some war blockbusters. In this design, the most important component of the drone becomes a high-definition zoom camera, which is controlled by a portable visual remote control. It is mainly used to detect enemy snipers in combat environments.

Imagine if the observer is equipped with such a drone, it can minimize the probability of being sniped. It can even be equipped with a warhead for the drone.

It may be a bit nonsense to install a recoilless gun or a small-scale missile, but it is still completely feasible to use a piece of explosive that can be remotely controlled and detonated.

Even if you can't kill the enemy sniper and interfere with the opponent, it can also effectively reduce the probability of casualties of your own personnel. Using a drone to exchange for the lives of one or even several of your own comrades is worth it no matter how you calculate it.

Expand this idea and replace the explosives in the warhead with smoke explosion components, so that smoke can be accurately dropped when necessary to cover up the actions of our own personnel.

After Zhou Li and Li Ying came back, they immediately found Qu Sen. After reading his three design presets, both girls were very satisfied.

After the three of them got together and made some improvements and supplements, they added an expansion plan similar to the launch of tactical communication jamming instruments to the design. Zhou Li started writing the application form, and Professor Wu helped him to hand it directly to the school.

Although this prize-winning collection is aimed at students from various military universities, military drones are not simple remote control toys, and they cannot be made by students themselves.

Not to mention the production costs involved, a series of assembly parts is not something you can buy with money.

To transform ideas and ideas from graphic design into physical objects, financial support and coordinated endorsement from schools are indispensable.

Professor Wu is a very heavy doctoral supervisor on campus, and Qu Sen and the three-person competition plan are practical. After contacting the organizer, the school leaders confirmed the qualifications for the three-person design plan and directly brought this matter to the weekly meeting.

After the meeting was approved, while the three people's willingness to participate was approved, they also received a special design fund of 100,000 yuan from the school, a laboratory operation room, and several equipment and instrument support.

One hundred thousand yuan sounds like a lot of money. Not to mention buying ordinary remote control toys, even if you buy Zhou Li’s toy drone, you can buy more than a dozen or twenty.

The things you can buy are all mass-produced products, but what Qu Sen and the other two have to do is entries from scratch.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about how they designed the drone shell and then used it to open the mold, it would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy various induction components and main control chips used inside the drone.

By this calculation, the 100,000 yuan approved by the school is enough to start a project, and even the shells of the three drones in the preliminary plan are difficult to build.
Chapter completed!
