美国海军成功开发了可以从运输船起飞和降落的无人机

我们一直在谈论科学技术。爱游戏ayx体育像其他技术领域一样，武装部队也从科学中受爱游戏ayx体育益匪浅。从新武器到完善较老的武器，军事项目已经很多努力。国防部的基金研究可能对武装部队有益。我们已经谈论过英国共享领空中的无人机汽车。这次，我们将谈论一架名为X-47B的新型海军无人机。

仅仅两年前，它的发展始于两个主要目标。从海军承运人起飞并降落。在短短两年内，X-47B A喷气式战斗机尺寸无人机是从乔治H.W.的甲板上发射的。衬套。示威活动包括一架无人驾驶的海军飞机X-47B，从甲板上起飞并在航母周围飞行了几次，然后飞回帕克斯河。示威是成功的。用海军空军司令大卫·巴斯（David Buss）的话说，示威和起飞是海军航空史上的“分水岭事件”。他还说。‘Today we saw a small but significant pixel in the future picture of our Navy as we begin integration of unmanned systems into arguably the most complex war-fighting environment that exists today: the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.’ Taking off from a carrier, while still being a milestone, proves only that this new drone is capable of taking the steam catapult launch, which is, by the way, same gear as used by the warplanes which Navy owns. What scientists were more eager to test was the question of how it would react around the carrier with so many different radio frequencies out there and rendering it a difficult zone for air traffic control.

海军说；‘Testers have demonstrated the ability to precisely navigate the X-47B within the controlled airspace around an aircraft carrier at sea and seamlessly pass control of the air vehicle from a ‘mission operator’ aboard the carrier.’ In this particular case the control was transferred to one located in NAS Patuxent River. The course of action for the next few weeks shall be for the X-47B aircraft to fly and try out different approaches to the ship, all leading to the big event; landing it on the carrier. Beware; landing on a carrier is considered one of the most difficult feats any pilot has to pull-off. Bringing an UAV doesn’t change the fact that it’s still going to be difficult. The Navy shall be employing Precision Approach Landing System (PALS) along with precise GPS system to ensure that X-47B lands as smoothly as it took off from the carrier. The success of this project will open up new roads for UAVs and their uses. If successful, X-47B will prove quite useful in gathering information and for other providing help to troops on ground.
