"Uh old chief, it's the belly multi-function cabin, not the belly bomb bay. After all, our ty-22 drone is a civilian project. Its current main application is for the long-endurance patrol drones of the State Electric Power and Forestry Administration. Humans and machines provide relay communication services.¡±
Zhuang Jianye quickly explained so as not to misunderstand the military chiefs and leaders present.
The ty-22 UAV has unparalleled potential in the military field. It should be included in the development plan of the headquarters. As a result, it was rejected by the headquarters by mistake. Logically, this project should be stopped, but China took off very hard. You have been engaged in secret research and development for several years. What do you want to do?
Strictly speaking, this matter can be big or small. Zhuang Jianye would rather be careful than rush into it, so he insists that his ty-22 drone is a civilian product. Even if it has unlimited potential in the military field, it is still appropriate. of civilian products.
After hearing this, the top military leaders couldn't help but laugh: "Okay~~ Let's see what your civilian product is like and whether it can play an important role in the construction of the national economy."
After saying that, he handed the telescope in his hand to the guard beside him, stood up, turned around and stepped onto the shuttle bus. Naturally, the others hurried to follow, but before the bus could leave, an airport staff member hurried over. , whispered a few words in Zhuang Jianye's ear. Zhuang Jianye frowned slightly when he heard this, and then quickly came to the military leader and reported in a low voice: "Old chief, there will be an overseas reconnaissance satellite passing over the top in five minutes. Ty ¡ª22 UAV needs to be moved to the hangar, so"
"It seems that you have applied the anti-missile and anti-satellite system related technologies well. It's okay. You are the host and we are the guests. How do you arrange for us guests to listen to your host!"
The big leader in the army did not embarrass Zhuang Jianye, and still nodded kindly. However, when the people around him heard these words, they were like thunder in their ears, and they were shocked physically and mentally!
"Overseas satellites are over the top!"
¡°Technology related to anti-missile and anti-satellite systems!¡±
These two sensitive words are short in words, but they contain a huge amount of information. Those who can accompany military leaders for investigation and inspection are not free of charge. Naturally, they understand the profound meaning of these two sentences, which is the basis for China's take-off. With the development of anti-missile and anti-satellite systems, certain key technologies have been applied in actual activities.
What kind of existence is a satellite that can monitor outer space overhead?
It must be a high-performance surveillance radar.
How can we accurately determine whether it is an overseas satellite?
At the very least, it has an extremely precise grasp of satellite operations in outer space.
Without one of the two, it is impossible to grasp the satellite overhead in outer space so well, but China Takeoff has managed to do it. Is it surprising?
¡°Perhaps it¡¯s a little surprising to people who don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but those who are familiar with China¡¯s rapid development will be surprised if they think about it for a moment.
But don¡¯t forget the name of the place where everyone is at this moment. China Takeoff Aerospace Manufacturing and Production Base at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. The big word ¡°aerospace¡± is right there.
Therefore, China Tengfei has never been a simple aviation company, but also a powerful aerospace company.
Just look at how impressive China's aerospace business is, including the R&D and manufacturing of high-performance launch vehicles, the R&D and manufacturing of high-performance spacecraft, a package of spacecraft launch services, spacecraft on-orbit maintenance and system upgrades, Data services for commercial spacecraft.
These are China Tengfei¡¯s five major businesses in the aerospace field.
??Except for the first two pure R&D and pre-production, the remaining three all belong to the aerospace service category, which is the high-end service industry with the largest profits and the strongest categories. It is also the most important source of income in China's take-off aerospace field.
Because so far, apart from the Tianlian constellation satellites used for testing, China Ascendas has a total of three commercial satellites operating in orbit, two of which are commercial communication satellites, mainly providing high-quality satellite calls and TV signal transmission for the Asia-Pacific region. services, and at the same time provide long-distance information transmission services for UAVs produced by China Tengfei. This is also an important guarantee for China Tengfei¡¯s UAVs to have been proud of the world in recent years. After all, they can truly be called long-endurance UAVs. There are not many in the world today, and no one can afford such expensive things as space-based satellites.
Because of this, except for the U.S. military, in the field of commercial drones, there is really no company that can compete with China Tengfei. Even though China Tengfei¡¯s satellite signal is very average, it often loses contact in places where some satellites cannot cover it. , but long-distance control and basic real-time transmission are possible.
This alone is enough to defeat you99% of the world¡¯s commercial drones.
Because of this, China's drone business has not shrunk in recent years, but has continued to expand, especially in some countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Because the signals of communication satellites are better, combined with other commercial communication satellites, it is enough for these countries and The region can ensure the needs of long-distance control and real-time monitoring of drones.
Therefore, it is favored by the military and governments of these countries.
In this regard, China Tengfei also turned a blind eye. Anyway, all drones are civilian products. They are as pure as a little white rabbit from top to bottom. As for how others use them after buying them, that is not what China Tengfei can control. After all, they are just a company, not the parents of other countries.
As for the sales strategy, it is also very favorable. China Tengfei¡¯s in-orbit communication satellite channels are open to users free of charge in the first year, half price in the second year, and a communication maintenance fee of US$30 per hour starting from the third year.
This price doesn¡¯t seem like much, but it can¡¯t support the long flight time of China¡¯s drones, which have a large base.
The so-called large equipment, durability, and good performance are nothing more than that, so the added cost is still very objective.
Take the ty-2promax-plus long-endurance UAV purchased by the Pakistan Air Force as an example. A patrol on the plateau in Kashmir takes at least 18 hours, which is US$540, or US$16,200 for a month.
This is still a normal situation. If New Delhi acts as a monster and the border is tense, the Pakistan Air Force will divide the eight ty-2promax-plus long-endurance drones into two groups to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted reconnaissance and patrolling. If the bandwidth is insufficient, an additional bandwidth usage fee of US$70 will be added to increase data transmission. If the number of satellites is expanded, an additional basic usage fee of US$100,000 will be paid.
In the first half of this year, a new border conflict broke out between Pakistan and New Delhi. Within six months, Pakistan paid US$500,000 to China Ascendas for the fixed cost of satellite use.
The problem is that Pakistan¡¯s drones are not only deployed in Kashmir, but also in the eastern desert areas and the mountains bordering Afghanistan. In addition, some maritime patrol drones are deployed. Therefore, in the past year alone, Pakistan has paid China to take off on various aerospace projects. The service fee alone is as high as $4.5 million.
If you include the fees from Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other countries, China Tengfei¡¯s revenue from aerospace services alone will exceed US$180 million, a huge profit!
