Arlington, Virginia, southwest of Washington, DC, is home to the world's largest single-family building, the Pentagon. It is the heart of the US Army, Air, and Air Forces, and is scheduled to operate at 1,245 military bases around the world.
At this moment, in a spacious office, the Director of the Department of Procurement and Acquisition Policy of the Ministry of Defense, Xie Yide Wesger, faced the two documents in front of the desk and frowned on the table with his fingers.
The new country’s large-scale installation of intelligent individual drones and the performance of hummingbird drones in military exercises have caught the attention of the US Department of Defense. The US Secretary of Defense found him to talk a week ago, hoping that he would contact the arms company that had a cooperative relationship with the military, bid for a soldier weapon similar to a hummingbird drone, and be able to effectively counter the drone. Equipment!
This kind of equipment is best to carry and adapt to all terrain, especially the urban terrain where the drone plays the most space!
Two companies participated in the bidding, one is Raytheon and the other is Lockheed Martin.
The two arms companies are not small, the former is the industry controlled by the Boston consortium, while the latter belongs to the California consortium. One is expensive but the reliability is high, and the other is low cost but there are many uncertainties...
But in the end, whether the Hummingbird drones will lose their function due to radio interference, they still have no way to know.
Just then, his secretary walked over to his desk through a row of desks and placed a newspaper on his desk.
Xie Yide looked at the secretary in confusion and picked up the "Washington Morning Post" and frowned slightly to the report that was marked with a mark.
[...The Russian side chose the beta-3b military supply drone when it negotiated with the future people to carry out the arms trade negotiations, but did not choose the hummingbird drone that could support the infantry frontline operations. According to an informed source who did not want to be named, the reason why the Russian side canceled the Hummingbird UAV purchase plan was because the Hummingbird drone had made a loophole in security. 】
["When we tested the combat performance of the Hummingbird drone, we found that the hummingbird was not as powerful as it was supposed to be, at least in the face of anti-UAV guns, its performance was extremely clumsy..."
Anti-UAV guns are not strictly a kind of firearms, but a single-arm portable weapon. This kind of thing has been studied in various countries. As early as a few years ago, the West Point Military Academy developed a special anti-UAV gun. In the face of the then Minister of Defense, it succeeded in forcing a ********* ***landing.
And the cost is only $150!
In principle, Lockheed Martin's design is similar to this anti-UAV gun! The same is the use of radio wave interference technology, but the latter has a wider interference area and stronger interference effect!
Seeing this report, Sheed immediately jumped up.
"Contact Lockheed Martin! The Department of Defense needs a more detailed design and attach the equipment price! Let them prepare in three days, I need to discuss with other department officials!"
"Yes!" His secretary nodded and immediately turned and left.
Looking at the newspaper, Xie Yide repeatedly rubbed his fingers.
Hummingbird drone, right? Then the name of our military development project is named as the beekeeper! It is a "flying plan"! Look at your hummingbirds, how to be in our anti-UAV equipment, like a headless fly!
......
“...Lockheed Martin successfully bid, the project code is ‘Fly Fly Program’.”
When Aisha told Jiang Chen about this news, Jiang Chen was so happy to stand up from the chair and hold her a kiss.
What Russia cancels the purchase of Hummingbird drones? Star Ring Trading has no plans to sell from the beginning!
As for the so-called "someone who does not want to be named," is also a play by the Russian side in cooperation with the Star Trade. The price of this play is to supply the Russian 5 UAV terminals and the supporting beta-3b UAVs for free.
Only 1.75 million US dollars, this money is still affordable.
Released Aisha, who was cheeky and cheeky, Jiang Chen walked back and forth in the study for several laps and threw his fist in excitement.
"If Lockheed Martin successfully bids, the Philippine Army will most likely become its first buyer. If the Philippine side tears up the ceasefire agreement, our soldiers will be in the war scene of the so-called "anti-UAV equipment" and even Not as good as a water gun!"
It is impossible for Lockheed Martin to obtain samples of hummingbird drones, which can only be based on the beta series of drones that have been circulated to the market as targets for testing weapons. There is no doubt that the beta system will definitely be affected by the weapon based on the development of civilian drones based on modern drones.
However, I am very sorry that the Hummingbird drone is a different technology from the beta series drone!
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen went to Anga Island.
The last time he explained the task of Zhong Wei, the director of the industrial park in Angka, is already being implemented. After the future separation of people's military work from the future, it will help the future people to better participate in the international market, and at the same time make the military production specialization, which can be described as a lot of benefits.
The four square kilometers of land next to it has been included in the park. A hummingbird drone assembly plant and a small vortex engine production plant have been built. According to the production plan that Zhong Wei presented to him, a series of arsenals such as armored vehicles and tank assembly plants will be added here.
The newly established subsidiary, the future military eo, is called Ling Tao, a native of Korro.
Jiang Chen gave him only one task, and strive to do even a button on the soldier's uniform, which must be completed by the factory in the new country! Any project involving the Stars and Trades Army that was once outsourced to overseas companies will have to be recovered from the country!
After inspecting the factory in Angka, Jiang Chen was preparing to return to the future building, but at this time, President Zhang Yaping’s phone was called.
When the phone was connected, Jiang Chen saw the Bluetooth headset hanging on his ear.
"Hey? What?"
"Is it free now? You come... forget it, or let me go to see you there."
"No, I am just outside. I will take a trip to the presidential palace in a while. Is there any trouble?" Jiang Chen noticed that the voice of the president was a little tired.
"It's not a hassle, a little problem... well, I can't say clearly on the phone, wait until you come over and say it." Zhang Yaping said.
"Okay, about half an hour."
Zhang Yaping played Jiang Chen’s personal mobile phone. The two people talked about the ordinary route. It is not convenient to say something important. After understanding this point, Jiang Chen hung up the phone and let Aisha drive the car to the direction of the pier.
Before going to the Futse Mansion, he planned to hear, the president of the new country, what troubles he had encountered. (To be continued.)
