Xu Li and two professors worked together to re-modify and improve the autonomous combat system of the drone.
This UAV combat system is nothing more than a modified algorithm and a slight upgrade of the program.
After the preliminary system test, there were no major problems along the way. Xu Li then discussed with the two professors to start the twelfth flight test.
"Xiao Xu, should we improve it a little more? I still feel a little uneasy."
Tian Yi looked at the busy staff and said to Xu Li beside him.
"Professor Tian, you don't have to worry. I believe there will be no problem this time. Haven't we discovered the problem before? It has also been tested by system operation. Now is the time to test it."
He is 100% sure that this flight test will definitely succeed.
The test mainly tests whether the drone can accurately identify and avoid obstacles when moving at high speed.
According to the information he learned, many current obstacle avoidance technologies are based on infrared and other sensing technologies for obstacle avoidance.
However, infrared sensing has an obvious flaw, that is, the ability of infrared to resist ambient light interference is poor, and the identification of black objects is poor, and it is basically undetectable!
Once you encounter a black object obstacle, it is very likely that it will not be recognized, which will eventually cause the aircraft to crash.
However, based on this defect, scientists have also combined ultrasonic sensing technology, which is relatively low-cost, but is also susceptible to interference.
The most accurate identification sensor is still the laser scanning sensor, but the sensor here requires a large battery capacity.
However, the larger the battery capacity, the greater its size and weight, the higher the load of the drone, and the higher the chance of being discovered and intercepted by the enemy.
At present, the world's laser induction drones still solve the battery problem.
The lighthouse country has also increased its investment in the battery field, which will then be able to solve the battery life problem of military drones.
After debugging for about twenty minutes, the technicians saw that all the data were normal, and then they began to prepare for the flight test.
This time the test is no longer the original experimental site, but a newly constructed obstacle flight test channel.
This is because considering that it will be relatively troublesome to recycle when testing in the mountains and forests, the test channel was moved for this reason.
Of course, after this obstacle course test, it will be transferred to the original test site for outdoor testing.
The entire passage is about two hundred meters long and surrounds the experimental building. The entrance of the passage is oval and nine meters high. There are various obstacles arranged inside, such as formwork lying horizontally and vertically, suspended rope nets, etc.<
/p>
At the same time, various dynamic surveillance cameras and cameras on drones are also arranged in the channel to ensure monitoring and recording of the test status of the drone.
The three found a suitable viewing position and began to issue instructions to the testers.
"It's ready for formal testing!"
The tester pressed the start switch, and with a buzz, the drone instantly flew off the platform.
Then he quickly flew towards the obstacle course.
A reclining wooden board was placed at the entrance of the obstacle passage. This incident tested the first step of the drone's autonomous obstacle avoidance.
I saw the drone body tilted slightly and got in through a relatively large gap.
In the passage, when the high-speed flying drone encountered the hanging net, it immediately lowered its altitude to avoid it.
Everyone clapped when they saw this.
Tian Yi and Liu Zhongchang stared at the screen and smiled.
After all, the test failed several times before, and it’s not like I haven’t tested it on this obstacle course before, but it got stuck on the suspension net.
But they did not dare to be careless at this time because the drone did not completely pass through the passage.
Suddenly the screen went black.
Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
What happened?
Did you hit something?
"What happened?" Liu Zhongchang asked hurriedly.
He was also very anxious, but before he could continue to worry, the technician next to him shouted excitedly:
"Fly out!"
This time everyone saw from the screen that the drone had flown out of the passage.
The scene suddenly burst into cheers.
The test finally succeeded.
The two elders finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two professors, we have to go to a larger test site to test next. This is the final test result."
Xu Li reminds me a little.
Next, there is a field test, where you avoid trees and hit the target at the same time. This is the most difficult thing.
"Yes! We can't relax because of this! Let everyone go back and take a rest first! The field combat and obstacle avoidance test will be officially launched tomorrow!"
Tian Yi's face turned serious.
After all, after testing for so many days, everyone is very nervous and needs a good rest.
Otherwise, high mental stress may cause some operational errors.
Xu Li and the two professors came to the cafeteria to eat.
It is now 6 o'clock in the afternoon, which is the official time for dinner.
In the canteen, the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner to get meals, and there was no such thing as gobbling up food during the meal, which made them feel much more comfortable.
"How is it? Do the food here suit your taste?" Liu Zhongchang laughed.
"It's okay. The plain-cut chicken prepared by the chef is not greasy or greasy." Xu Li replied.
"This is how it is in the army. Even meat cannot be overly oily. This is the rule above, because too much oil is not very good for the health of soldiers, so we made it like this, but it can suit you.
The taste is quite good."
"By the way, Xiao Xu, your company has been making a lot of noise recently in semiconductors and artificial intelligence! All my old guys admire you very much!"
At this time, Liu Zhongchang interrupted.
Xu Li knew what he was talking about, and it was nothing more than the matter of the Feixing No. 1 nanoimprint machine and Xiao Hei's assistant.
Needless to say, Flying Star No. 1 has been inspected by experts before, and the little black assistant surprised these military experts the most.
Especially Liu Zhongchang, he didn't expect Suiren Technology's artificial intelligence to be so powerful.
I don’t know how many times higher than the Lighthouse Country.
He is also an expert in information engineering, so he naturally knows what artificial intelligence means.
If artificial intelligence can be applied to military weapons, it will definitely improve efficiency, carry out precise strikes against enemies, and deter those scoundrels.
This time, in addition to looking for Xu Li to solve the problem of drones, he also had more issues that he wanted to discuss with Xu Li in depth about artificial intelligence.
"Thank you. Nanoimprinting technology was developed on a whim. Of course, it is not my fault alone. As for artificial intelligence, I had the idea a long time ago. I was quite surprised to be able to complete the little black assistant.
I didn’t expect the market response to be so good.”
When he said this, Xu Li's face was very calm.
But the two professors felt the slight breath of Versailles in these words, and they were just stunned for a moment.
"Then what are your thoughts on the development of artificial intelligence? What corrections need to be made?"
