Summit Forum: Enhancing UAV Mission Capabilities
On May 25, the “2024 Summit Forum on Improving UAV Mission Capability” themed “Mission Accomplishment, Real-World Validation” was successfully held. Honeycomb Aerospace presented the significance of enhancing UAV mission-execution capabilities. Moreover, it demonstrated the emergency-response capabilities of its UAVs in various aspects, including disaster reconnaissance, communication networking, collaborative rescue, and comprehensive support.
In the roundtable dialogue on "How to Promote the Integration and Extension of the Unmanned Systems Industry Chain with the Help of UAV Systems", Liu Tiejun, executive deputy general manager of Honeycomb Aerospace, joined several experts in a discussion. They used real-world examples to expound on the key components of the UAV systems industry chain. Additionally, they put forward measures and suggestions for extending the industry chain along the upstream and downstream.
On-Site Product Close-Up
The HC-542 Composite-wing Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is a new type of UAS that combines the vertical take-off and landing characteristics of a rotorcraft with the efficient cruising characteristics of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. The platform is developed based on the modular design concept, fully taking into account its expandability for multiple purposes and in various fields. It has the characteristics of vertical take-off and landing, large payload capacity, long endurance, and multiple task modes, and can perform take-off and landing tasks without constraints in complex terrains. It can simultaneously carry optoelectronic cameras, communication equipment, navigation equipment, small synthetic aperture radars, reconnaissance cameras, and other mission payloads, and can execute tasks such as communication relay and target search and positioning.
The HC-526 UAV, as a small vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV flight platform, features an excellent aerodynamic design. The entire aircraft is constructed from aviation composite materials, giving it high strength and a lightweight nature. It is suitable for a variety of application scenarios, such as those that require long working hours and a relatively large payload.
The system is capable of carrying electro-optical cameras, communication equipment, mapping cameras, gamma radionuclide monitors, and other types of detection devices. It can perform tasks like high-definition video collection and real-time transmission, emergency communication, two-dimensional and three-dimensional mapping, etc. It is widely applied in fields such as emergency surveying and mapping, agricultural and forestry environmental protection, traffic inspection, and border patrol.
HC-342 adopts a hybrid power system. It is a six-rotor UAV platform with universal mounting capability. It can carry different mission loads to complete normal inspection, 2D / 3D aerial survey, special equipment transport and other tasks. By carrying reconnaissance pods, aerial photography equipment and emergency disposal devices, it can be widely used in patrol, reconnaissance and other fields.
At this exhibition, Honeycomb Aerospace not only displayed the latest products and technologies, but also reached cooperation intentions with a number of well-known enterprises and research institutions. In the future, Honeycomb Aerospace will continue to uphold the concept of technological innovation, increase investment in intelligence, systematization and customization, and provide customers with the best solutions in various application fields.
