a car capable of throwing a drone without us knowing very well why

Since childhood, I feel a curious obsession with cinema cars and small screen. Kitt –The fantastic car– I don’t seem so science fiction anymore if we consider that we already have cars that are controlled with the voicebut the Aston Martin by James Bond They keep hallucinating. Not so much for the beauty of the different models that we have seen over the years, but for the amount of gadgets they incorporate, as well as the gates that open to launch something or show a weapon. Like the car that tells us, that of deploying a gadget from the car ceases to be fiction because Byd has just presented something, as little, curious: a line of cars that are capable of transporting and displaying a drone. One of DJI, to be more concrete. We have already seen some Chinese cars who are betting on crazy ideas that combine cars and dronesbut what Byd has just presented is something much more tangible. The big question is … What do we want to throw a drone from the car? Shuttle car Lingyuan We are going to start with what the company has presented. In a releaseByd has presented Lingyuan, a system designed to achieve a total integration of drone into the vehicle. The system is like a ceiling chest that has location and guidance sensors, as well as a gate that opens and from which drone can deploy. Don’t tell me it’s not movie. This “heliport” can be in that kind of ceiling chest, but in larger vehicles the company comments that it can be integrated directly into the upper part of the vehicle, which, we assume, would compromise somewhat less the aerodynamics of it. The system has been designed so that the height of the vehicle does not exceed 2.05 meters and, for the moment, there are two versions. On the one hand, Lingyuan Battery Swap Edition for Yangwang models, byd’s luxury brand. This pack equips the DJI Mavic 3 And it is the highest range option. For denza and byd cars, the name is Lingyuan Fast Charging Edition that incorporates a DJI Air 3s. Wang Chuanfu, president of Byd, commented that “the collaboration between Byd and DJI goes far beyond the simple placement of a drone in a car. Instead, we have developed the entire integration system from scratch, designing and developing it to achieve a perfect fusion between the vehicle and drone. This advance offers a synergy in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. ” These drones They can take off with the car in progress At a speed of up to 25 km/Hy we can order that the vehicle follow at a speed of up to 54 km/h. On the other hand, they also load at the station, being able to recover from 20% to 80% in half an hour. I recreate and … anything else? The goal of ByD is that this movement is a first step to boost the industrialization and large -scale adoption of intelligent drone systems in cars, but as we said some paragraphs ago, the big question is why we would want something like that. In the statement, everything focuses on creativity. The arch in which the drone goes has a wide angle camera with 4K resolution that can record next to the drone camera to have a double perspective and the Lingyuan application has a tool to edit those videos with algorithms that automate the process if we want it and a repertoire of 30 templates. The brand wants us to record “our vehicle adventures” with a stupid ease. However, I can think of two more interesting and everyday uses. If we go on an adventure on roads that we do not know, stop and launch the drone can be great to explore the area. And, if it were a lighter drone or could fly in the city, it seems to me a tremendous function to look for parking. Of course, for now, this technology is only available in Continental China and the brand has not spoken about the launch of the platform in other countries.

There are drones throwing drones to attack other drones

In arms key, the war in Ukraine has become the stage of An unprecedented military transformationwith The battle of drones redefining modern combat. If in the first months there by 2022 the clashes were fought with rifles and machine guns in the trees lines, today the battlefield is dominated by Kamikaze drone swarms and precision attacks. In the last dates, these attacks are, if possible, more and more deranged. A new form of war. Guardian counted earlier this year In an extensive report that along the front line, the Russian and Ukrainian troops They are now attacked from kilometers away with those swarms of first -person drones (FPV). We have told it before. They are small but lethal devicesequipped with up to a kilogram of explosives, which have changed the nature of combat. “It’s like the work of a sniper”, explained to the British environment Dimaanother Ukrainian soldier, while showing him a video on his phone of an FPV chasing patiently to a Russian soldier before impacting it with lethal precision. The democratization of air attack. The result is that in the conflict there are no safe sites. The accessibility and effectiveness of these flying devices have democratized air power, allowing any unit, even without support from the Air Force, can execute precision attacks. In this regard, Samuel Bendett, drone expert at the Naval Analysis Centerhe said that the FPV went from being a novelty in 2022 to become the main offensive tool in 2023 and Today they completely dominate tactical space. Speed, capacity to operate at night, reach up to 20 km or extremely low operating costs make them the perfect weapon between guerrillas. Nothing on the battlefield is completely safe. Drones force armored vehicles to move quicklylimit the time that troops can remain in one place and have become obsolete many conventional tactics. From there The erratic tactical of North Korean troops. “Mother” drones throwing drones against other drones. One of the most recent strategies on the battlefield has been The use of “mother” drones. We talk about large unmanned aerial vehicles capable of transporting and deploying small kamikaze drones in full flight. This tactic allows to extend the attack range of FPV dronesletting them fall behind enemy lines without exhausting their limited battery before reaching the goal. In fact, in a recently documented case, a Ukrainian mother drone was Capture on video by launching a small explosive drone against a Russian recognition dronedemonstrating that unmanned air war is no longer only between combat and missile aircraft, but between drone swarms of different categories. Armed drones: rifles shotguns. Since the beginning of the conflict, the Ukrainians have experienced with “Vitamin” drones, either with explosives, grenades or even missiles. However, in recent months they have made significant advances in the use of firearms mounted directly in aerial and terrestrial drones. For example, They have developed FPV drones capable of firing double cannon shotgunsdirectly facing Russian drones in air combat. Despite the recoil problem, engineers have improved drone stability, allowing him to shoot multiple times without losing control (a video recently showed one of these drones Broving three Russian drones before shooting an enemy soldier on land). Or with assault rifles. Despite the difficulty in maintaining precision in flight, tests have been carried out with AK-74 mounted on drones, able to shoot bursts against Russian trenches. Apparently, This type of drones has not yet been displayed by massbut it is part of a growing trend of using them as combat platforms with conventional firearms. Armed terrestrial drones. They counted in Arstechnica This week that one of the most outstanding innovations is El Burya, a land drone of caterpillars equipped with a launching turret able to shoot up to 64 grenades at a distance of 100 meters. Its characteristics: A gyroscopic shooting and stabilization control software to improve aim, mass production and currently in first -line use. Plus: In the future it is expected to be integrated with air recognition drones, allowing to receive coordinates of real -time objectives. New tactics for electronic warfare. Even Drones have developed with retractable claw species or magnetsdesigned to capture and steal enemy drones in full flight, a concept that reminds the hook machines of the Arcade Games, of course, in a war context where Drones can disarm their adversaries in the air. Another recent development is The Pliushch, an unintended land drone but equipped with a 10 -meter communications mast. Its function is to serve as a radio repeater on the battlefield, extending the communication signal to advanced units. In addition, it can operate as a mobile electronic war station, interfering with the enemy’s signs. And drones with optical fiber. The last of the applications We count it recently. The electronic war has become so intense in the front line that many drones have been useless by signal blockages and Russian interference systems. To counteract this, Ukraine has begun to use drones with optical fibera formula that prevents detection by not emitting electromagnetic signals.
