"A mountain torrent broke out near our station and the road was destroyed by mudslides. Food, medicine and other supplies are urgently needed. Request support!" Following the commander's order, 4 drones loaded with more than 30 kilograms of supplies and plunged into the mountains. The dense fog quickly flew to the designated area.
This is a new way for a viewing and communication brigade of the southern theater of the Navy to organize drone crew formations to deliver real-life exercises to deliver materials to the mountain and island troops.
It is reported that most of the stations of the brigade are located in high mountain islands, geographically remote, and transportation is inconvenient. Special circumstances such as geological disasters, bad weather, suspension of navigation and transportation, or destruction of transportation lines by the enemy during war will lead to material transportation. Obstruction is the veritable "last mile" of logistical support.
Jiang Daozhong, the driver of a Gaoshan Guantong Station, felt deeply about this. The station has high altitude, bad weather, rockfalls and landslides, and visibility is less than ten meters in foggy weather. In this situation, drivers often need to shake off the car. Window, stick your head out of the car window to observe the road conditions.
Even so, driving on rugged mountain roads clinging to cliffs is still frightening.
"Deepening the exploration of the construction of the unmanned material transportation system and the establishment of an intelligent logistics support model are a powerful means to break through the logistic support problem of the alpine island army. It is also a means to meet the innovative needs of the future battlefield." It is reported that this year, the The brigade party committee set up a special leading group, taking the practical application of the unmanned platform transportation delivery empowerment system as the research direction, and combining its own reality, went to mountains and islands to organize drone transportation and delivery trials; invited military and civilian academies to demonstrate mission aircraft Models, routes and safety, and at the same time, combined with a number of local logistics enterprises and drone manufacturers, combined with the environmental characteristics of the high mountain island troops stationed, and determined the mission models involved in the delivery of materials in the mountain island area.
Prior to this, the brigade has completed a series of unmanned platform transportation and enabling system test verification tasks such as "mainland to island" and "island to island".
At the drill site, the management and control system quickly performed satellite positioning on the delivery area based on demand.
On the screen, the drone delivery dynamics are clear at a glance, and the flight data is returned in real time.
According to members of the special team of the Ministry, the command and control of UAVs through the unmanned platform transportation and delivery enablement system is not only fast and accurate, but also can preset routes and change delivery destinations in advance according to mission requirements.
In this actual flight and delivery exercise, more than 20 drone sorties were taken off and successfully supplied a large amount of urgently needed supplies to the peak duty station.
At the same time, the security department relies on the dispatch system to conduct training and verification of subjects such as multi-batch orders, multi-model mixed formation delivery, and night delivery in complex weather. Issues such as performance and the construction of an intelligent transportation delivery system have been mastered in more detail, and the next step is to transform the unmanned platform transportation delivery system from pilot demonstration to normalized guarantee, and from guaranteeing normal material transportation to participating in battlefield delivery. Solid foundation.
Unmanned aerial vehicle crews broke through the clouds and delivered the materials accurately to designated areas. Officers and soldiers quickly unloaded incubators and distributed field fast food and medical supplies.
Holding the steaming food in their hands, the officers and soldiers could not hide their excitement: "This time our high mountain sailors received the'air express'!"
