of military , is indeed this is a new era. Today’s generals need is more compact, can have a remote control and intelligent weapons.
In short, they want more UAVs. They can be firmly locked terrorists, can carry more payload storage, and so far the best produced in the United States spy – even occasionally intercepted in Iran, or crash landing in a secret base.
UAV in 2011 to show their talents, their growing popularity, because another buzzword is sustainability, that is a UAV or satellite has been pegged to the target, until there are important things happen.
expanding U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle team skeleton staff is MQ-1 “predator” and the MQ-9 “death.” Although these weapons requires a 180-member team to work on the ground flight control and manipulate their sensors, analysis of collected data and is responsible for maintenance, but the UAV Unlike humans, these weapons themselves do not need sleep.
the United States about 7000 UAVs, flight time beyond the manned attack aircraft, pilots now have more control of unmanned aerial vehicles in an airplane continent rather than practice.
U.S. weapons and equipment become so small and lethal, so that did not need the U.S. Army – in fact without any arms – you can put them to the battlefield or to use them. CIA in the past limited the use of large-caliber pistols and explosive cigars; today they are using unmanned aerial vehicles, but not this particular secret. Almost unknown in the case of the public, at least in Congress, under the supervision of these stealth fighters since the September 11 attacks has been killed around the world about hiding in 2000 was recognized as a terrorist. This year that figure should rise further.
But if the relative jet fighter, the unmanned aerial vehicles more economical, then, on the other hand they are also more vulnerable to attack. Latest of the “death” UAV cost $ 8 million per aircraft, but a decent air defense network can be shot down, or by interference, the invasion of the computer control system allowed to fail. Advantage of this technology in the United States is weakening.
Therefore, scientific research institutions across the country are busy scientists and engineers to create version 2.0 UAV technology, thereby increasing their payload, and enhance their stealth, etc.:
more effective radar-absorbing coatings and improved electronic defense capabilities, will enable the next generation of unmanned aircraft flying over enemy airspace greater chance of success.
more sophisticated UAV engine will fly faster, higher payload. The next generation of “predators” UAV – jet “Avenger” – the flight speeds of up to 500 miles per hour, than the current turbo propeller “Death” unmanned aerial vehicles by about 50% faster.
In addition, the UAV’s sensors will be able to more clearly captured the image, and can return the necessary information before data on mass screening.
wider bandwidth will strengthen and between aircraft and ground control personnel more effective and safer links, more conducive to decision-making.
“Avenger” unmanned aerial vehicles capable of carrying 2,000-pound bombs, is the “death” four times the carrying capacity.
new missile will be equipped with inertial measurement unit, the UAV can attack the goal behind it. The new UAV will use radar and laser imaging device, in order to improve accuracy.
