What kind of drone is a good drone?
Answer the question, first from the drone war and combat to see its initial performance. UAV is no stranger to the Chinese army, adversarial combat of world's first unmanned, actually took place in the United States and China.
The mid 60, about 64 to 66 and, when the Chinese air force has a very distinctive set of operations, that is, counter-UAV. At that time is the time into the peak of the Vietnam war, United States movements in China's interest, you need to obtain China in military and other areas, also need surveillance. Technical areas for American troops, their most directly the equipment available was aerial reconnaissance.
However, at the time wanted to enter China's airspace for aerial reconnaissance is not so easy. Because from 50 generation began, China army has been in with United States and us of various air reconnaissance aircraft do struggle, everyone impression is deep of including playing RB57, playing U2, so at pendulum in United States before has a problem: was reconnaissance into to China airspace, I'm afraid hard finished full whole to back, may was shot down has led to pilots death, or pilots fell to China hand in, United States will bear political risk, and diplomatic risk, and and domestic of some problem. At that time, the Americans are thought to use unmanned aerial vehicles to detect, the Americans used fire bee high altitude reconnaissance UAV, unmanned bomber and transport aircraft in the Air launch, its altitude to 17000 and 20000 meter, and it can be such a reconnaissance mission.
This poses a problem for Chinese troops because the 17000 and 20000 m, the height is the ultimate altitude when a Chinese fighter jet, and at such a height of flight, to knock down unmanned aerial vehicle will undoubtedly be difficult. Dang United States unmanned reconnaissance plane entered China's airspace at an altitude of when China started using f-6 block, but the original operation is not smooth, because f-6 Service ceiling reached limit when 17000 meter, has been difficult to lock and attack targets, and f-6 in a height can not stay for a long time. There was a pilot, fired 3 times in a row, all polished shells, still lay the drone. Even the pilots wanted to hit it down, unfortunately, in the process of climbing, impact, the aircraft entered a spiral, resulting in a crash of the results.
Can said, China army is a is has creative of army, after forces and research units series efforts zhihou, found has a basic of approach: increased engine thrust, to high rushed, rushed to a height, close to no machine tail 300 to 400 meters of such of a distance, combat of opportunities quite short, may only more than 10 seconds, up dozens of seconds, but caught this Flash that died of opportunities, on can effective of shot down no machine.
After a series of trial and training, we laid the United States fires bee drone. And with this tactical master more and more skilled, bee was shot down after another fire on the ground in China. This can be said, is human history of unmanned combat and is also the largest gains of the first combat. Until 1966, with the changes in international relations, United States eventually stop using unmanned aerial surveillance of China. Talk about early history combat drones, another impressed everyone should be the Middle East's Bekaa Valley war, World War I, leading into Israel and Syria. The Bekaa Valley is one of the local strategic Syria deployed in the Bekaa Valley has a considerable amount of air defense weapons, including once at the Fourth Middle East war play hehe Wal-Sam-6 missiles, and deploy extremely dense.
Israel's air force, it should be said to be a nightmare, in the Fourth Middle East war, when Israel's air force had in Egypt before the Sam-6 missiles of heavy losses. Now Israel facing this problem again, to win the Bekaa Valley, to break Syria's air defense network in the region, must work out countermeasures to overcome Sam-6 missiles, Israel eventually think is the drone. At that time, Israel primarily using Scout UAV. FOSSIL iPhone 5
One day, Syria air defense radars detected the target into the Bekaa Valley after a boot immediately manipulate fire control radar and fired Sam-6 missiles, the target was shot down, a small unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down. However, in the course of Israel through electronic surveillance equipment on the drones, have each other's fire-control radar operating frequency and feature complete was acquired, that is such a process, get the Sam-6 missiles and Syria radio characteristics of air defense systems. Then, Israel according to these electronic reconnaissance and intelligence, has developed appropriate measures, using a powerful electronic interference and repression, destroy the Sam-6 missile positions in the Bekaa Valley.
Or a fight, gave people a fairly deep and impressive record, entire air war, was said to be more than 100:0 of loss ratio. At that time, the drones really attracted the attention of countries around the world. Above the two unmanned combat history makes us understand that first UAV is what the context of war and battle. Two battles, have one thing in common, is the traditional way of manned aircraft, were unable to overcome the obstacles faced by, there are casualties, losses, because they face the intense anti-aircraft fire, high risk, unmanned aerial vehicle played a role. Secondly, especially from China and the process of fire fighting bee drone can be found, although bee drone shot down a number of fire, but have not been able to prevent the United States use of reconnaissance aircraft to China, when changes in the international situation, international relations, United States did not stop the surveillance operations.
Drone war of origin to two points: one is in a high risk environment manned aircraft cannot afford to work under. One loss does not matter, or even to use drones as a consumable. Today's UAVs, especially on the huge drones, have advanced technology. Stealth, speed and high altitude long endurance, for example, actually when we focus on those words, don't overlook the drones on the other hand.
If you ask "what kind of drone is a good drone? "Can answer in three sentences: one is made up, and the other is affordable, third is to afford to lose. In fact in the history of aerial combat, air vehicle has been faced with a difficult problem, is how each other survive under anti-aircraft fire, the penetration. Aviation technology development process we had a lot of idea, originally of existence and penetration of high speed to address this problem, such as the U2 reconnaissance aircraft, the SR71 Blackbird.
But then found in the actual combat, high speed or a good solution to this problem, because air defense weapons and defense technology development, high speed as follows. There ideas of three generations, the very low altitude penetration coupled with electronic interference, through the very low altitude penetration using the blind area of radar to achieve penetration and strong electrical interference, in the midst of some of the war, it achieved good results.
Whether it be war in the Middle East or the United States that year attacked Libya combat, are the typical pattern, but the very low altitude penetration and electronic interference, still cannot guarantee absolute security for aircraft and pilots.
A stage further, United States the way is invisible, that's four generations of technology, but stealth is not able to solve the problem. The Kosovo war, shot down by Yugoslav F117, we find the original stealth machine will not fully solve the problem. Meanwhile, from high up in high speed, low altitude electronic jamming or stealth of a development process brings a terrible byproduct is made increasingly expensive modern fighter, when it comes to four generations, there has been a general feeling that can't afford it, can't afford to buy. Most typical of the United States of B-2, only stealth strategic bombers in the world, but even as backers of the United States, created after 20 hours and, ultimately, cannot afford to play.
Drones provided us is actually another idea: to lose.
First, because no one loss does not bring in injury and personnel were taken prisoner. Second, the UAV low cost, from the perspective of loss, loss, control costs, and can even be used as an expendable use of drones, which features in the initial fighting, sparking both battle of the bees or the Bekaa Valley have been reflected most vividly.
So, if you ask "what kind of drone is a good drone? "Good drone first to build up, affordable, more important is to afford to lose. Today the development of UAVs has appeared on many of the big technology, can by no means solve the many technical problems that cannot be solved.
But UAV development, the key is still to hold on to the three points: making affordable, affordable, can afford to lose.
Also don't take toys and models for drone! They can't compete with the real drone!
