"The field depot was blown up by the enemy, and the supplies are in a hurry. Please ask for support!" In late July, a practical logistic support drill started in the mountain city of Chongqing. Not long after the start of the exercise, the field command post received a request for help from the front line.
In the smoke of gunpowder, following orders issued, the "future fighters" wearing exoskeleton devices easily placed hundreds of kilograms of supplies on the drones, and the drone swarms full of supplies quickly lifted off. , The unmanned vehicle "ant colony" formation that received airdropped materials at the front of the battlefield immediately crossed the artillery fire to reach the designated location... The logistics supply line quickly penetrated, and the training ground seemed to become a science fiction world.
A reporter from the Science and Technology Daily learned on July 24 that the exercise was led by the Military Service Procurement Department of the Army Service Academy. The purpose was to carry out pilot trials of a new model of unmanned intelligent replenishment, and to enhance the military's ability to support military supplies under complex conditions.
Duty support directly affects the combat effectiveness of troops. However, the future battlefield has many high-tech weapons, high intensity, serious threats from the enemy, and many damages to the forward roads, which will inevitably bring major difficulties to material security, especially supplies. In order to open up the "last mile" for military supplies, the Military Supplies Procurement Department of the academy creatively integrated modern drones (vehicles), satellite positioning, image recognition processing, mechanical exoskeleton and other technologies, and explored the development of unmanned intelligent material supply systems , To realize the unmanned supply of field supplies, and to build a field fast-food support system with new army characteristics.
Gong Zhansheng, the person in charge of the unmanned intelligent replenishment subject of the academy’s comprehensive exercise, said, “Human exoskeleton support can increase the load capacity of individual soldiers by 50-80kg, effectively solving the problem of limited human endurance; drone swarm support, each aircraft It can carry 30kg of materials and can deliver all-weather, all-terrain delivery; the unmanned vehicle ant colony guarantees, each can carry 350kg of materials, which can realize the coordinated protection of air and ground."
Gong Zhansheng pointed out, “This is a beneficial exploration of incorporating the new model of unmanned intelligent material supply into the comprehensive exercise of the college in accordance with the idea of “leading the front and the rear and integrating the combat support” in order to achieve the goal of'integrated command and integrated application.'
