China's drone air charging into reality, the endurance increased from 2 hours to 48 hours

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, drones have achieved a qualitative leap in military and civilian use, playing an important role in military strikes, detection, weather forecasting, disaster relief, agricultural spraying and so on. Most drones are faced with limited endurance levels and cannot meet the requirements of high-intensity tasks. Therefore, improving the endurance of drones while ensuring the performance of drones has become the focus of research!

Ordinary fuel-powered aircraft can increase their battery life by increasing their range during the flight. Therefore, some people think that it is possible to charge the drone in the same way to enhance the endurance of the drone.

China's recent breakthrough in a new technology that can refuel the drone in the air - "short-range laser charging technology", makes this conjecture a reality; let low-cost heavy load, high speed, and long battery life Combat drones have become possible.

According to media reports, China has been able to use the fiber-optic power system to launch a free-electron laser beam system to implement long-range laser energy transmission. In the test, a certain type of laser charging system successfully upgraded the life time of a small type of UAV of our military from two hours to 48 hours, a total increase of 24 times.

Through experiments, the researchers also found that the laser charging system can not only wirelessly transmit energy under the day and night conditions, but also is not affected by strong winds and high temperatures. In addition, because the accuracy of the beam positioning receiver of this remote laser charging system reaches the centimeter level, it means that the drone can not only charge in the level flight, but also can stably receive the laser in high maneuvering flight. The energy of the beam. The drone will have the ability to fight while charging, as long as it can stabilize the power supply, it can last a long time.

Therefore, as long as the future drone is equipped with a reliable remote laser charging system, there is no need to install a huge fuel tank or a battery compartment, thereby reducing a large amount of weight and making it more flexible at low cost. More continuous combat capability.

Strengthen my national defense, rejuvenate the country through science and technology, and praise these silent scientists!
