Milestones! Chinese Large Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Formation Flying, Interpreted by Military Experts

2023-06-30

Recently, CCTV released a video of a domestically produced "Double tailed Scorpion" large drone flying in formation, which has attracted high attention from the outside world and is considered a milestone in the development of Chinese drones. Taiwanese media particularly emphasized that the plane had flown around the island. Chinese military experts believe on the 29th that the implementation of dense formation flying by the "Double tailed Scorpion" is more about demonstrating its technical capabilities, indicating that this drone can fully cooperate and cooperate in limited airspace. ▲ The video screen capture of the formation of three "twin scorpions" has "greatly expanded the attack capability". According to the daily report of Taiwan's Zhongshi News Network 28, the mainland has recently technically verified the formation of three "twin scorpions" UAVs for the first time. This armed reconnaissance UAV has repeatedly appeared in the PLA's missions around Taiwan, and has flown over the First island chain for several times. According to the report, it can be seen from the video that during this formation test flight, three "twin tailed scorpions" reconnaissance and strike integrated drones were fully armed, carrying precision guided bombs, missiles, and smaller drones. They took off from the airport in sequence and then formed formations such as straight lines and triangles. This is the first time mainland China's domestically produced long endurance drones have been fully armed for formation flight. According to the report, it is more challenging for UAV operators to let the "twin scorpions" fly in formation from the ground Command and control station than to let them fly directly in the air, because the speed, altitude and heading of these UAVs must be coordinated. It is reported that in recent years, both Taiwan and Japan have seen "twin tailed scorpions" fly around Taiwan several times and fly across the Miyako Strait into the Pacific Ocean. However, in these situations, the twin tailed scorpion flies alone. On the 28th, the website of the Eurasian Times in India stated that China has reached an important milestone in drone technology by successfully executing the first close range formation flight of the "Double tailed Scorpion" large unmanned aerial vehicle. This test is the first close range formation flight of Chinese domestic long endurance drones equipped with different types of ammunition. According to the report, each "Double tailed Scorpion" drone can carry up to 16 ammunition, and the formation of these three drones can carry 48 various types of ammunition, greatly expanding their firepower strike capability. According to the introduction, the maverick "Double tailed Scorpion A" drone currently has two major series, with the basic "Double tailed Scorpion" being a dual release bureau and the power enhanced "Double tailed Scorpion A" being a three release bureau. It is reported that the two engines of the basic "twin tailed scorpion" greatly improve the system reliability and flight safety of the drone, allowing the drone to maintain significant advantages in terms of deployment capability on high altitudes and seas, adaptability to complex meteorological conditions and geographical environments, etc; The two generators configured ensure that the drone can provide sufficient power supply for various mission loads it is carrying. The dual engine and dual electric configuration, as well as the high aspect ratio, dual tail brace, and 20 style aerodynamic layout design, make the "Double Tailed Scorpion" unmanned aerial vehicle particularly suitable for the commercial field. The "Double tailed Scorpion A" belongs to a power enhanced product, which is a large three engine, modular, multi-purpose, hollow long endurance fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle system. The configuration of three engines and three generators has significantly improved the performance of the drone while maintaining the existing advantages of the "twin tailed scorpion". Chinese military expert Zhang Xuefeng believes that 3-4 ton unmanned aerial vehicles use three
