Chapter 219

The young man shook his head, not very clear.

When Linderman saw this, he couldn't go on asking even if he had a lot of words in his heart. What's more, there were strange eyes around him. Linderman was not easy to lose his manners. After all, he attended a fund-raising dinner hosted by a congressman.

Even if there is a big thing, I can't show my feet. So I smile apologetically at the people around me and pat the young man on the shoulder: "OK, I know."

He wheeled his wheelchair and turned into the hall.

The middle-aged man who had been waiting at the dinner table asked casually when Linderman came back: "what's the matter? Mr. Linderman, it seems surprising to see you just now. "

"Oh, it's a little trouble. Some villains scraped off the paint of my car. Damn, it's the new car I just bought last month." Linderman's face was a bit self mocking and a little unlucky.

The middle-aged people also sympathized. Linderman's new car, which he had seen before, was a customized version of the kedelac. It is said that many technologies of the US presidential special vehicle "army one" were applied. More importantly, the disabled like Linderman can get in and out of the car barrier free, which is of great value. The car's paint has been scratched, which is really distressing.

So it's hard to sigh: "Oh, my God, it's really unfortunate news..."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something else. A blonde suddenly knocked her glass, and the slightly noisy hall suddenly quieted down. Then the beautiful woman laughed at the crowd: "now let's invite our handsome congressman, Albert, to say something to us."

When the applause rang out, Albert raised his hands and gave a warm signal to everyone. Then he began his speech on the political platform.

……

Compared with Linderman's sophistication, Liszt in New York is in a bit of a mess.

Thanks to the great victory of the Ministry of justice, the Discovery-1 UAV of H airlines, which was replaced by the ty-2 of the take-off factory, has become famous.

In particular, after the use of access to the Department of justice's praise, it finally attracted the attention of the U.S. military.

The army, in particular, is in urgent need of a kind of reconnaissance equipment that can carry out tactical reconnaissance, target damage assessment in depth, and correct the impact point for artillery troops when necessary.

In the past, similar tasks were undertaken by the special reconnaissance unit and the light aircraft of the army aviation.

However, after the Vietnam War, the U.S. military found that this multi line combination method not only caused great casualties, but also had many inconveniences in command, and even changed the nature of the mission due to emergencies, which could not achieve the expected effect.

Therefore, we have long wanted to find a more efficient way of investigation and avoid casualties.

UAV is a good thing. The U.S. Army has noticed it for a long time, and has invested and studied it. However, when it submitted it to Congress, it was blocked by the U.S. air force. The reason is very simple. The army wants UAV, but it can. What kind of UAV does the air force have? Why does the army have to do anything else? Is the U.S. taxpayer's money coming from strong winds?

As soon as the budget lords heard this, they beat back the army's plan and asked them to cooperate with the air force to get an army version of the air force UAV.

The army had no choice but to go to the air force. As a result, if the air force's UAV is too tall, it will be able to compete with the reconnaissance satellite. Or it will be low, with a metal tube and wings, and an engine installed, and then it will be sent to the sky as a target plane.

Of course, it's not without the army's interest. For example, the "amber" UAV developed by an Israeli company named IAA funded by the air force, in addition to its slow flight speed, real-time image transmission and ultra long flight time are urgently needed by the army.

However, although the amber UAV is good, it is still in the stage of theoretical design. Except for an equal scale model, not even a wheel of the aircraft has been built.

For this reason, the army consulted Israel's IAA company and asked them when they could be put into practice. IAA's answer was very conservative, six to 10 years.

In a word, it's up to the 1990s. The army wants to wait a long time. What should we do in the empty window period of 6 to 10 years?

After thinking about it, I finally figured out that the air force is a hole in TM, and it's still a big hole. If you want a UAV, you'd better do it yourself. So I decided to break up with the air force and start a new business.

Just at this time, the H company's Discovery-1 UAV won the bidding of the Department of justice, the media coverage did not say, and the Senate Armed Services Committee Vice Chairman Jefferson's strong recommendation.

So the army organized a group of experts to go to the Ministry of justice to investigate the Discovery-1 UAV, which was delivered for use. As a result, the army experts immediately became excited. They not only transmitted signals in real time smoothly, but also had extremely flexible ground control devices.

We should know that the army is no better than the air force, and their battle front is often close to the forefront of combat, so flexible deployment mode is the basic requirement of the army. Because the air force is mostly located in the deep rear, and undertakes more strategic reconnaissance tasks, the control station is large and complex.

The control stations of Discovery-1 UAV are all integrated into one truck, which is a real scratch for the army. Coupled with the flexible take-off mode of Discovery-1, it is a tactical reconnaissance equipment tailored for the army.What's more important is that company H, the manufacturer of Discovery-1 UAV, can integrate the existing communication and reconnaissance technologies of the United States, and it only takes half a year to build a set of reconnaissance UAV that can be used for military purposes.

This is simply too important for the army,

as for the mission radius of more than 200 kilometers, the army has not really paid attention to it. Now the farthest firepower delivery of the US Army is only 150 kilometers of tactical missiles. The mission radius of more than 200 kilometers is far beyond the firepower delivery range of the army, which is enough for the army.

After a series of comprehensive evaluations of the Discovery-1 UAV, the U.S. Army proposed several avionics improvements and basic technical parameters, and H company signed a US $30 million development contract to develop six UAV prototypes and three ground control stations.

The Discovery-1 UAV has been transformed into the XR-1 experimental UAV, code named "pioneer".

The $30 million R & D Contract and the $200 million priority procurement contract will surely fall into its own pocket. H Airlines is very happy.

So I feel like I should go a step further and turn into a real aviation manufacturer.

Just at this time, the Israeli IAA company, which had contact with the US Army at the beginning, came to the door and was willing to cooperate with H company to develop "pioneer" UAV at the cost of several patented technologies and a complete UAV production line.

It's too tempting for H company. You know, H company has talked to Tengfei factory about similar proposals more than once, but it has been beaten in the face by Tengfei factory every time. Now H company has the detailed information of ty-2 UAV platform, and recently it has got the complete flight control program.

Why do you want to look at the face of Tengfei factory? If you don't give it, someone will give it to you in vain. So without saying a word, you kick it away, open your arms, and embrace Israel's IAA girl.
