Sure enough, Jiang Chen had already expected that after Starring Trading demonstrated the Hummingbird drone in the Singapore-Malaysia joint military exercise, someone would definitely be interested in this flexible support equipment.
Flexible mobility and highly intelligent combat capabilities are simply a nightmare for all soft targets.
In fact, not only the new country, but also the US Navy SEALs and the Russian Alpha Special Forces are all equipped with similar individual drones. UAVs with a four-rotor structure are obviously unable to compete with the hummingbirds with aerodynamic engines. Comparable.
"The Hummingbird drone is not for sale." Jiang Chen said without hesitation, "It is impossible to sell it. In the future, the People's Military Industry will only complete orders from Star Ring Trade. I'm afraid this matter will disappoint you."
"I expected you to say that." Natasha shrugged, "So I didn't plan to ask about the Hummingbird drone."
"What are you referring to?" Jiang Chen looked at her and asked with a smile.
"We are very interested in the drone logistics network you have laid out in Xiangjiang City," Natasha said.
"Russia's logistics market is not developed."
"We don't plan to use it for logistics," Natasha stared at Jiang Chen with sharp eyes. "It's not just express delivery that needs logistics. Its all-terrain transportation capabilities can fully demonstrate its value on the front line. For example, transporting ammunition and Supplies are delivered to soldiers deployed on the front lines.”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen sighed sincerely.
"Whoever came up with this idea is a genius."
To be honest, Jiang Chen felt quite puzzled sometimes. Every time he brought out n's black technology, there was always someone who would take the trouble to dig deeper into its military value for him and use the drone logistics network for frontline supplies. He had never considered this idea.
But then again, using drones for supplies really doesn't mean much to the soldiers of the Star Ring Trade. Because of the existence of mechanical exoskeletons, each soldier can carry more than three to five times the load of other countries' military forces. And with the breakthrough speed of the Star Ring Trade Soldiers, they can basically finish the first battle without replenishment.
"Make a price." Natasha said cheerfully.
"Install the drone terminal on the infantry vehicle, and use the drone to resupply the dispersed soldiers. If necessary, you can also tie explosives to the opponent's face. This method is indeed feasible." Jiang Chen touched his chin. , thinking about this issue seriously.
The load capacity is about 2-3 kg. Through technological upgrades, there should be no problem in increasing its load capacity to 5 kilograms at the expense of the radius of movement. As for the large eta drone control terminals deployed in express delivery outlets in Xiangjiang City, it is technically feasible to shrink them into a vehicle-mounted terminal that can also serve as a drone!
"USD 500,000, 20 drones and supporting vehicle-mounted drone terminals." Jiang Chen said.
After hearing Jiang Chen's quotation, Natasha's eyebrows jumped immediately, she coughed and smiled.
"This quote is a bit too expensive. I remember that the cost of laying out the drone logistics network in Xiangjiang City was more than 200 million US dollars. A total of 50,000 drones were invested, and the average drone was only 4,000 US dollars. 500,000 US dollars and 20 aircraft, why don’t you grab it!”
"It's US$500,000 for 20 drones and supporting terminals." Jiang Chen emphasized the word "terminal", looked at Natasha calmly, and continued, "The price of the terminal is less than the price of the drone itself." It’s much more expensive, after all, you can’t just bring a computer and provide data processing services for drones.”
"Can't it be cheaper?"
Natasha pretended to be pitiful, but Jiang Chen remained unmoved and insisted on the price he offered.
"No! We have to design a portable eta drone terminal specifically for you. We really can't get any cheaper." Jiang Chen kept asking.
Of course it's cheap, but if it's cheap, how can I make money with it
The cost of 20 drones and terminal pairs is only 100,000 US dollars, but since it is export and it is a monopoly business, how can I justify it without killing you
After some haggling, Jiang Chen finally "reluctantly" agreed to a 10% discount and set the price of the device at US$450,000 for a set. Natasha would bring it back after work and go there. Before going to work, she kept nagging Jiang Chen, so don't suddenly change her tune then.
Jiang Chen suppressed his smile and sent her out the door. After she left, he finally couldn't help but make a sound.
Less than a month after the establishment of the future military industry, it has received overseas orders.
A set of 450,000 yuan, after excluding the cost, he can earn 350,000 yuan. Even if one-tenth of the Maozi tanks, infantry vehicles, and military off-road vehicles were replaced with advanced drone supply systems, there would be a profit of more than 3.5 billion. How could Jiang Chen be unhappy
In total, this arms business was so profitable that Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind to contact the Liu family in China and ask them if they were interested in the eta drone supply system. Compared to the impoverished furry bear, the rabbit is the rich benefactor!
Anyway, the international influence of the Future Man Group now makes him no longer need to worry about the arms business.
After confirming the matter, Jiang Chen accompanied Ayesha to clean up the dishes, and then went out to the Future Man Building.
After returning from get off work, Natasha placed an arms purchase contract in front of him and watched with interest as he signed his name. She helped the Russian Ministry of Defense with a large amount of expenses, and she was praised by her superiors.
But the caring tone of her boss made her a little angry, as if she had betrayed her lust to persuade Jiang Chen to give him a 10% discount.
After signing the contract, Jiang Chen came to the study room as usual and dialed Liu Zhai's phone number.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Liu Xiangguo immediately expressed his great interest. After all, he was not from the military system and could not make a hasty decision on this matter. After telling Jiang Chen that he would study the matter, the old fox hung up the phone.
Throughout the day today, drones brought him a lot of good news.
However, at this time, the ghost agent brought him bad news.
"The United States is currently developing a vehicle-mounted anti-UAV equipment, which is currently being bid by two arms companies. Among them, Raytheon's design is to use directed energy weapons to lock and eliminate approaching UAV targets, similar to the laser anti-drone in the experiment. A simplified version of the guidance system. Lockheed Martin's design plan is to use directional all-channel jamming technology to block the communication between drones and terminals in the target area, and set up a no-fly zone for drones." Aisha reported to Jiang Chen The intelligence collected by agents in the United States was used.
After hearing this information, Jiang Chen was not surprised.
After the birth of any weapon, someone will inevitably think about how to restrain it.
Raytheon's solution is expensive, but it is undoubtedly the most effective, because the anti-drone equipment in the apocalypse basically relies on faster and more accurate directed energy weapons, as well as area EMP weapons that are not currently available in the world. As for the latter, Lockheed Martin uses anti-UAV methods commonly used in the world. However, it is not effective against Hummingbird and eta series UAVs.
Although they rely on the terminal for data processing and remote control, both Hummingbird and eta drones have built-in AI programs. Even when offline, you can complete preset tasks and return home according to the preset route.
Lockheed Martin's all-channel jamming technology is nothing more than a flash bomb. Although it can cause certain troubles to the drones of Star Circle Trade, it cannot completely make them lose their combat effectiveness.
And if you are causing radio interference, can’t we just do something to counter radio interference
In front of the station in the apocalypse, counter-radio interference is the basic equipment of electronic warfare.
Personally, Jiang Chen still very much hopes that Lockheed Martin can successfully bid.
So Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder, should he help them
