Shock American drone X-47B first took off from an aircraft carrier

14 May 2013, the drone X-47B for the first time in stories took off from the deck of the US Navy aircraft carrier "George Bush", which was located in the Atlantic off the east coast of the country in the region of Virginia. The X-47B took off at 15: 18 GMT. The drone was launched from the deck of an aircraft carrier with a catapult, which is designed to launch deck aircraft. In flight, the drone was operated by an operator aboard the ship. In this part of the flight was conducted offline without the participation of the operator. During the test flight, X-47B made several test approaches, and also demonstrated its interaction with the equipment installed on the aircraft carrier, after which he flew over the Chesapeake Bay and sat down at the military airbase Patricknt River, located in Maryland.

During the final stage of the 65-minute flight, control drone was successfully handed over to the ground operator. The drone that took off from the USS George W. Bush is one of two X-2Bs built by Northrop Grumman to demonstrate autonomous operations, including taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier, as well as combat operations at a distance of 47 nautical miles. (50 km). The purpose of this project is to test in practice new technologies that are necessary to create autonomous combat unmanned carrier-based aircraft. After a series of test takeoffs of the X-92,6B, which will last several weeks, it is planned to carry out the first landing of the device on an aircraft carrier.

Work on the creation of the deck UAV for the needs of the US Navy began in the middle of the 2000-s. 2 of the company, Boeing, which in 2002 introduced its drone X-45 and also Northrop Grumman, which introduced X-47A Pegasus, were engaged in the creation of the device. Subsequently, the command of the US Navy signed a contract with Northrop Grumman for the creation of a device - a technology demonstrator, which was named X-47B. Using this project, the US military wanted to assess the capabilities of a machine that would operate from one deck with manned aircraft, and also determine the need for vehicles of this class.

During the implementation of this project, the US Navy plans to formulate requirements for carrier-based attack drones, the first of which is expected to be adopted by the US Army as early as 2018. At the same time, a formal tender for the creation of the X-47B was announced back in March 2010. According to the requirements that were published by the US Navy, attack deck UAVs must be able to stay in the air for at least 11-14 hours and carry a payload in the form of various weapons, sensors and sensors or fuel for refueling other aircraft in the air. The military also wanted to drones various stealth technologies were used. At the same time, there were no special requirements for the layout of the devices.

First of all, promising UAVs are planned to be used for reconnaissance, observation and reconnaissance, as well as for conducting high-precision strikes against various ground targets. At the same time, the capabilities of drones should be expanded through the implementation of a modular design. If necessary, the UAV can be easily supplemented with various signal relay systems, electronic countermeasures or specialized reconnaissance equipment. In March 2013, the US Navy announced that the new drones should use existing technologies for launching, landing, controlling and exchanging information. The military are going to announce the winner of the competition to create a promising UAV before 2016.

According to representatives of the US Navy, the drone X-47В has a range of more than 4 thousand. Km. at an altitude of more than 1200 meters. In this case, the flight can be fully autonomous under the control of the on-board computer equipment, the operator can interfere with the flight of the device only if necessary. This X-47V compares favorably with other UAVs, which are already used by the US military. The X-47B drone has a folding wing and 2-me internal bomb compartments, which can be placed various weapons weighing up to 2-x tons. The UAV can accelerate to 1035 km / h. Currently, the drone is not installed any additional combat systems.

Currently, the cost of the US Navy for the X-47B project is already about 1,4 billion dollars. His first flight demonstrator shock deck drone made 4 February 2011 of the year. In 2012, the Pentagon issued a directive according to which weaponwhich is able to independently select and hit a target automatically (without human intervention) should not be applied by the USA for at least a number of the next few years. Despite this, the American press and human rights activists express their fears that too rapid development of UAVs can lead to just this.

Over the next few months, X-47B will have to take part in a series of tests. In particular, the military are going to check the takeoff of the drone from the deck of a moving aircraft carrier. After this, the drone will have to make a series of landings with the use of aerofinisers at the military base of Patuxent River. A total of at least a dozen landings are planned to be carried out on land using an aero-finisher. After that, the device will move to the key stage of testing - landing on the deck of the ship at rest and in motion, with a nervous and calm sea. It is reported that in the future the range of weather conditions under which flights will be performed from the deck of an aircraft carrier will be expanded.

In general, the test program for the new UAV is nearing completion. According to the developers, it will end completely before the end of 2013. Next year, the U.S. Navy will analyze all the information received during the implementation of this project, and on its basis will draw up a final list of requirements for promising strike deck drones. In total, starting in 2007, Northrop Grumman assembled a total of 2 aircraft prototypes of the X-47B drone. The US military does not intend to pay for the construction of additional X-47B vehicles. After completing a series of tests, the constructed samples will be transferred to aviation museums.

In 2014, the US military plans to conclude a contract for the creation of a deck-mounted drone with all 4 tender participants, but an agreement on the manufacture and supply of UAVs will be signed with only one of the four. So the company Northrop Grumman is going to offer the Navy military drone, built on the basis of X-47B, Lockheed Martin - Sea Ghost, Boeing drone based on Phantom Ray, and General Atomics - Sea Avenger (a continuation of the Predator and Reaper family). At the same time, of all the named devices, only X-47B and Phantom Ray took part in the actual flight tests.

Over the next 30 years, the US Department of Defense expects to increase the number of UAVs in service with the country immediately 4 times - to 26 000 units. At the same time, the military plan to achieve these figures not only by manufacturing the drones themselves, but also by reworking already built aircraft into drones (for example, the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack planes can lose the pilot), as well as by creating optional manned combat aircraft . Each year, the number of new technologies and the tasks they solve increases, so it may well be that in the distant future, deck UAVs will take off already from the deck of crewless ships.

Opinions of Russian experts

Vadim Kozyulin, director of the program of the Center for Political Studies of Russia on Conventional Weapons, in an interview with the publication Vzglyad noted that drones are the aircraft of the future. According to him, in Russia this case was missed a little. The solution by the Americans of a technical task to take off a UAV from the deck of an aircraft carrier is a signal that a person is becoming less and less popular for waging war. The possibility of launching autonomous drones from the deck of aircraft carriers is a new milestone in the development of weapons.

Considering the fact that technologies are continuously improving, and some of them allow airplanes to be in the sky for a long time due to the use of solar energy, there are practically no unattainable territories. Today, the fleet can deliver UAVs anywhere in the world, in the long run, such devices can be in the air indefinitely, and given the fact that this is a drone drone, it can hit targets, transmit information, remaining unobtrusive, since today there are not so many effective means of detecting such devices, said Kozyulin. According to him, computer wars are becoming more and more reality.

Former commander of the Strategic Missile Forces Viktor Yesin notes that Americans today are ahead of everyone in this direction. Although at one time the USSR was a pioneer in the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles, but after the collapse of the Union, a very long pause arose, almost until 2008, there was no active development in this area. According to Esin, the use of UAVs must necessarily be regulated by international treaties. Attack drones are a completely new direction that can be a destabilizing factor in the military-strategic balance in the world. In the event that the world community cannot agree on any restriction on the use of such devices in the future, their destabilizing influence can only increase. The ability of these vehicles to conduct autonomous combat operations represents a great danger to stability in the world.

According to Esin, you need to accept the relevant documents. It is necessary that all states take appropriate measures, develop a legal framework for the use of these weapons. According to Victor Esin, the UAV is difficult to identify. Unlike aircraft, there are no identifying marks on them. If such a device worked against you, then against whom to respond? Yesin noted that as far as he knows, today terrorists are also interested in shock drones.

It is worth noting that in Russia, according to statements by the former Air Force commander Alexander Zelin, the creation of the first drone drone is expected only by 2020 year. Back in 2008, the Ministry of Defense of the country announced the start of a program to create modern samples of reconnaissance UAVs, 5 billion rubles were allocated for this purpose. But to execute this program immediately failed. None of the Russian UAV models presented under this program not only did not correspond to the technical assignment issued by the military, but did not pass the tests themselves. As a result, Russia was forced to purchase the necessary equipment, as well as a license to manufacture it from Israel.

[Sirocco]

At least we have nothing to oppose with the American.

In vain you say so. If you look at this problem from the other side. Turning 180 degrees. Here is some good news. The Ministry of Defense and the Severodvinsk repair shipyard Zvezdochka signed a contract for the repair and modernization of nuclear submarines with a durable titanium hull Karp and Kostroma, project 945 (code Barracuda) built in the 70s, which were already decommissioned a long time ago and 80s of the last century. Once upon a time these boats were called nothing more than "aircraft carrier killers". The main tasks for the boats of this project were to monitor strategic submarines and aircraft carrier strike groups of a potential enemy and ensure their destruction at the beginning of a conflict. So how to look at a glass in which liquid is poured, in half its volume. It’s either half full or empty.

[Joker]

according to him, in Russia this case was missed a little.

I would say already missed, now we are lagging behind, and much more, the Airborne POSSIBLE only in 2015 will have its own drone and then reconnaissance to 2020 will give God a percussion, another year 3 will finish it, and in the US they already rivet a bunch of BPL drums. The Americans, no matter how cool they are, see that the soldiers have nothing in terms of morale (maybe they are better than ours or at the level of skills) and decided to rely on aviation in WWII, and now they have also switched to UAVs. in general, to exclude casualties and possible panic among military personnel due to losses in major collisions. We would take an example from us, because there really is something to be learned, the Americans from each war endure and implement experience, while we act by scientific method.

We 90s will go around for a long time ...
But nothing terribly catastrophic happened for us. This is just a drone, not a death star capable of taking out our entire army in one blow. It becomes sad and a little envious when reading such news, but there is someone to learn from. And the goals and objectives for us and the "pilot" aircraft will be able to fulfill, with the advent of such an aircraft, the United States (I repeat) did not receive much advantage. Those who will now fill in about the fact that they say people are protected and the like, and this UAV is not worth 5 kopecks, in such a good conflict, they will be protected in the same way as the raptor.

I don’t understand, but how did you determine that “the car is good”? X-47 is not even a pre-production product. The exterior is certainly nice, but everything else is premature to judge. DARPA with "Northrop Grumman", X-47 began to saw from the late 90's., And promise to create a serial product only after 7 years (by 2019). And it is not known whether they will meet these deadlines or not ...
And why "we have nothing to oppose"? To date, the combat capabilities of the X-47 are very similar to those taken out of service by the Americans with the F-117, respectively: the maximum take-off weight is 21,2 and 23,8 tons, the maximum weight of the BN is 2,0 and 2,25 tons, the ceiling is 12,2 and 13,7 km ... The speeds of both cars are subsonic ... From the fact that he was unmanned, the X-47 was not vulnerable, he did not become at all. If you are already talking about the prospect of 2020, then why do you think that such UAVs are too tough for Vityaz, S-300PM, S-300V4, S-400, S-500 air defense systems? Su-35S and PAK-FA fighters? Modern EW tools?
And besides, similar work is also being carried out in our country - the well-known R&D “Okhotnik" of the Sukhoi Design Bureau (together with MiG and Tupolev). Of course, we are significantly behind in terms, but given the fact that when creating the Russian UAV, it is planned to use the groundwork “as part of the development of technologies for fifth-generation aircraft” (as Poghosyan said http://www.aex.ru/docs/3/2013/1 / 28/1720 /), then we have a chance to create this LHC in less time than the Americans plan to do.

Have you met, wherever it may be, specific, official figures on the estimated number of purchases of UAVs of the X-47 type? Me not. The device is by no means cheap. So far, subjectively, no one even stutters about any bulk purchases. Moreover, the Americans, until 2035 inclusive, have yet to purchase more than 2000 units. F-35 (in the most optimistic forecast at a price of 90 million apiece). Even the Americans, there is hardly enough money for massive parallel purchases of UAVs such as the X-47 and the F-35 fighter.
Well, in the end, if your “is simply crushed by quantity,” understood as a possible war between Russia and the United States, I strongly doubt that UAVs will be the determining factor in it. I will assume that in the case of such a scenario, towards the X-47, Russian “unmanned” products like 15F173 and 15F175, as well as their more modern counterparts, will fly. Not until the UAV will be there, believe me ...

[bulgurkhan]

And why do not you compare the F117 and X47B key indicator of a military aircraft - the combat radius? Those. can I randomly pull numbers and make crap?

[Canep]

Let him first put him on the deck of the ship, in average statistical weather. (hello to the minus minors!)

[Professor]

He does not need to be planted, he does it himself. The UAV automatic landing system is well-developed.

[JonnyT]

Himself on deck ???? And then what

he flew over the Chesapeake Bay and landed at Patuxent River Military Airbase, located in Maryland.

??

[Canep]

Good professor to you, I have not been waiting for you for long. Now about landing. I already wrote that it is difficult even for an experienced pilot to land a plane on deck in bad weather, and newcomers can generally eject.

Quote: professor

The UAV automatic landing system is well-developed.

If this were so, why the UAV only took off, and did not land immediately on the deck. Then there would be no bazaar. The automatic landing system for the F-18 is still in the experimental stage, it’s too early to talk about its completion, and even more so about adopting it. And in F-18 there is a pilot who can land the plane himself.

[Professor]

Quote: Canep

If this were so, why the UAV only took off, and did not land immediately on the deck.

Because Americans are not Russian or even Israelis and work strictly by the book. According to the test program, only take-off was planned; only take-off was done. The time for landing will do, and they will do it. While automatic landing is practiced on the ground.

Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland (4 on May 2013 of the year), a demonstrator of the Unmanned aerial combat system (UCAS) X-47B makes its first landing as a coastal base. The unmanned aerial vehicle uses a brake hook to engage the MK-7 arrestor. This type of braking is required when boarding an aircraft carrier. (Photo courtesy of Northrop Grumman)

PS
The UAV automatic landing system is already successfully operating and is landing the device in any weather and visibility onto the strip, taking into account the glide path.

(Here is an example of such a laser-based system OPATS - Laser-based UAS Landing System) Will put on the deck.

[Canep]

If they work off landing on the ground in this way, then I guarantee you that the plane will crash the first time you land in the sea, unless of course there is a calm sea. There is no swinging and moving deck on the ground, namely a deck located above the sea.

[Professor]

Quote: Canep

If they will do this landing on the ground

How it is"?

There is no swinging and moving deck on the ground, namely a deck located above the sea.

You accidentally did not confuse an aircraft carrier with a yacht? Read about pitching on irregular excitement, not everything is so bad. The amplitude of the angle of heel when rolling the aircraft carrier on board is quite acceptable for automatic landing, well, and even more so.

[Canep]

In such weather, even the pilots will not land the plane on deck. And such weather is not uncommon in the ocean.


And this UAV so far can only land on deck:


Did you hear anything about the screen effect? The deck is at a decent height above the sea.

[commentor]

Sooner or later, drones will land on the decks of aircraft carriers, it’s stupid to argue with that. It may be difficult for you to imagine the level of development of computational methods, but, believe me, now computational complexes take into account an order of magnitude more input than a person. And they respond faster.

[Canep]

Programs are written by programmers and not pilots. That the drones will begin to land on the deck I have no doubt, the question is how much they will break them until they learn to land. And repair of an aircraft carrier will be required more than once in the process. And to the account

Quote: commentor

I have been working with computer technology since 1986, in my youth I even worked in programming, and I know what software errors can turn out to be. It will be necessary to work out the software either on the ship, or better on the layout of the deck of the aircraft carrier, which should be able to swing. It is not possible to take everything into account on a computer simulator, and he himself may have software errors. Remember how many times your Windows has been updated only this year, and each update is the elimination of software errors. So minus the health.

[commentor]

Now everything is changing in the amount spent on the project.
The more they beat, the more it will cost.
The question will or will not be worth it, the answer is known in advance - "will."

[commentor]

This is the question of UAV link rotation in the near future will not be resolved, it seems to me.

[Professor]

Most likely not links, but UAV networks.

[Roll]

In such weather, the UAV will not only land, but will not fly to the mission, I think the pilots too. Every system has its own parameters of use.

[Professor]

So he was put on deck exclusively for testing, including taxiing. Have you seen the joystick of his control?
Be patient, in a year it will both land and take off from the deck. No one has the experience of using carrier-based aircraft like the Americans.

Quote: Canep

Why did they drag the screen effect?

[Canep]

When landing on the deck, it occurs abruptly when the plane crosses the end of the ship, this can not be worked out at the ground airfield.

I strongly agree with you on this and even more.

They have been coaching each "iron" for 5 months already. In November, the first flight prototype was loaded onto CVN 75 "Harja Tryumont". Only Lincoln does not participate after drowning in Seattle.
There is an opinion that these "flyers" are also available on "Dunya Izyakhauer" located in CVN # 69. as well as on CVN №68 NuMiss ", who studies with Yu. Koreans.

of course it’s not mine, but what kind of helicopter does it cost on this barge on a PP in a storm? :)) Like, we have a lot of them, it’s not bad if it gets washed away, so what? :)) unwise people :))

How would you not like, but this drone has never been planted on the deck of an aircraft carrier. It is about imitation landings. there were no real ones. Although this year the Americans promised to do it, but so far, only an imitation!

Professor you have Winda how often is it updated?

[commentor]

You as a person "about the topic" confuse categories.
"Windows" is an open software system, where the factor causing errors is, first of all, third-party software products that use the system architecture, and some of its errors. The second motivating factor is the user. The third is compatibility.

A closed system, with a closed development cycle, with a strictly oriented architecture and tasks, is much better predicted. Entire models and software cover tests are being built, which at the development stage allow us to identify bottlenecks and dangerous places.

Trust my words. Catch a plus for trying to analyze and compare.

Using these third-party programs, these errors are detected, and Microsoft then plugs the holes.

The second driving factor is the user.

Is the user making a change to the program code? Windows was created for the user, and should work without errors under his control.

Quote: commentor

A closed system, with a closed development cycle, with a strictly oriented architecture and tasks, is much better predicted.

This system should not work in the laboratory but in the ocean. And it cannot be 100% closed; most likely, various systems (gyroscopes, radar speed meters, etc.) from various developers and manufacturers (like in Windows) are used in an airplane, and their compatibility will create its own problems.

Professor you have Winda how often is it updated?

Can I answer? For 3, as I have 7, I updated it with 1, when sp1 came out and that's it, the automatic update turned off, because there is no sense in micro updates, besides, these updates didn’t affect how the OS worked , and works, no hang for 3 year. So it copes with its tasks and without upgrades; moreover, after installing c1, no difference in work was noticed. Again, it seems to me incorrect to compare the OS of the computer and the UAV stuffing, on the computer it is sharpened for a huge number of functions, and in fact the UAV doesn’t have one or two flights, shooting and everything, watch movies and play on the UAV as well as on the Internet to climb. So there is no need to update many.

[Canep]

My antivirus starts to swear if there are no fresh updates of Windows. If you use Kasp, Nod, or Avast antivirus then you should regularly receive a message that the Windows has not been updated for a long time.

[viktorR]

not a single hang in 3 years

Oh you and liar my friend ... oh and liar
Have you even turned on your computer for three years after installing sp1?

[Beck]

Yes, it is sad and sad when an economic rival and a potential adversary take such achievements into the air.

And where are those Urashniki who ate me on a page when I said that the Russian military aircraft industry was 20 years behind the American one.

MiG-29 and Su-27 were made after the F-15 and F-16. PakFa is only just being lifted to the wing, after it, while the Raptors have been flying for 20 years.

While they put PakFa on the wing, while they put them in military units, the amers will already have unmanned aerial vehicles in service. And again, have to catch up.

These catch-ups are essentially hopeless; there will always be a 15-20 year lag. The only way out is that in the bowels of the military-industrial complex there must be some kind of scientific and technological breakthrough, so that if you do not have to be ahead, then at least be at the level.

I invite Urashnikov to the red button, since logic will not allow you to say something adequate, you will press the button in your comfort.

Land. I am in a general context. Of course there are, as elsewhere, some flaws, breakdowns, failures, but they are eliminated. And why the amers did not agree to an imitation, and there are a thousand reasons. And imitation of imitation of discord. Roughly speaking, the sports Yak-52 in a maneuverable simulation at medium altitudes will put any fighter in its ears. But in modern combat, without all the accompaniment of electronics, what will it cost.

Something like that.

I agree on one thing, thanks to your Yidomasson euromafia, we are lagging behind, but not by 20 years, but by 7-8 years, and that is because we do not have a printing press to print candy wrappers that are not secured with anything, if "raise" literature and use it in the net, then suddenly someone will reconsider their worldview and go to a monastery, if there is a conscience, most of the Western developments were made in our research institutes ... and people, you will listen to more such scribblers ... you will not respect yourself , all this pours from one watering can ...

At work, I have to deal with machine tools made in the USA. Iron is good, but the software is rare shit, the whole curve and buggy. And with most firms

[Canep]

Do they still make machines in under inches? Our (in Ekibas) bought Caterpillars (dump trucks and bulldozers) mats began in 2 weeks when a bolt broke on the bulldozer - the inch turned out to be. The outer diameter of the thread is 25 mm. They said that they would bring it within a month. Ours naturally changed to M24 and did not wait for the American bolt (let them spin where they should). It is good that all Amerov firms were expelled from Ekibas (and indeed from all of Kazakhstan too).

[Samurai]

Really kicked out? But what about Borusan Makina, the official dealer of caterpillar in Kazakhstan? And why do you have such hatred for everything foreign? For example, I work with Caterpillar technology and I see no problems. Moreover, they produce metric bolts.

[Canep]

The management of the cut developed the same hatred, they did not buy more kats, but they had to buy dies and taps for cutting an inch thread at American prices, in Europe they are produced only by the British, but their prices are even higher. It is difficult for the managers to reach the price of a 1 "die - $ 200, and on the M24 - $ 20. They switched to Komatsu, everything is metric. But the Americans were kicked out: understand - they bought out large enterprises where the owners were Americans (and not only).

And where then to look for that farmer from Kansas who will not send this die.

Are you serious? In your opinion, is an inch (inch) the minimum value and division price? What is tenth you know? Boeing flies all "not in the metric system" and does not cry.

[Canep]

The 767th in the metric system was made, and the fuel gauge in kilograms. Because of this, one almost crashed, the tanker was caught unprepared and poured 22500 pounds on a passenger flight to a place of 22500 kg. The plane managed to land at an abandoned military airfield in the center of the United States. Flight in my opinion from Chicago to Los Angeles, but this film was shown on NG, the series "Air Crash Investigation". And no need to be clever, you perfectly understood that I meant the inch system of measures.

[Professor]

No need to be clever, even 787 bolts and nuts are spoiled, I know this first-hand, so to speak.

[Canep]

There can be any bolts there, and navigation devices have already begun to be placed under the metric system. And about the emergency Boeing - it had a faulty fuel gauge, operation with such a defect is allowed, provided that the 2nd pilot controls the refueling using the refueling device's instrument, and the refueling operator inattentively "checked" it according to the refueling list. In general, if interested, watch the movie.

[Professor]

I can’t say about machines, we work on Swiss CNC, but milstandard leaves a certain imprint on the quality of products.

[Canep]

The CNC quietly switches from inches to meters, but it is good when you need a batch of 10 parts, or a very complex part, 1 screw on the CNC (CNC) to do a lot of trouble, it is easier to pierce from the hexagon, and cut the thread with a die, or with a cutter if the thread is larger M24, on a simple (non-CNC CNC) machine.

[Canep]

The software cannot fail (break down, wear out, grow old) dear professor, it either works or does not work. And in the F-16 and F-117 pilots are sitting who can save them. And what programs according to the milstandard are written by some special programmers who do not make mistakes? And what kind of milstandards are these for programmers. Call at least one.

[Professor]

You surprise me very much today. Neither the F-16 nor the more F-117 without a computer will not fly a mile. And no pilot will save them. Here's an example of milstadart: MIL-STD-498

And what programs according to the milstandard are written by some special programmers who do not make mistakes?

Admit, but much less. If you have been dealing with programming, you need to understand how important standardization is.

[Canep]

MIL-STD-498 - canceled in 1998 and replaced by the civilian standard EIA J-STD-016, it regulates the organization of the software development process. Something like ISO 9001 for programmers only.

[Canep]

About F-117 in Wikipedia:

In the entire history of the operation of F-117 aircraft, according to official data, 7 cars were lost (a little more than 10% of the total number built), including one F-117 was shot down during the fighting. “Nighthawks” flew a total of about 220 hours [000], that is, a raid on one loss amounted to about 10 hours.
April 20, 1982 - F-117A (ser. number 80-0785), Lieutenant Colonel Bob Ridenhauer "Bandit 102." The plane crashed on takeoff due to an incorrectly configured flight control system at the factory. The pilot didn’t have time to eject got serious injuries and was written off from the flight work.
July 11, 1986 - F-117A (ser. number 81-0792), Major Ross Mulhare (The Bandit 198). The plane crashed into the ground in the Bakersfield area of ​​California during a night flight. The reason is disorientation pilot who had a small touch on the F-117. Major Mulhair died.
October 14, 1987 - F-117A (ser. number 83-0815), Major Michael Stewart "Bandit 231". The plane crashed into the ground near Tonopah during a night flight. The reason is disorientation pilot who had a small touch on the F-117. Major Stuart perished.
August 4, 1992 - F-117A (ser. number 85-0801), captain John Mills (John Mills) "Bandit 402". The plane caught fire during a night departure near the Holloman air base and exploded in the air. The reason is ground error technical personnel during maintenance. Captain mills safely catapulted.
May 10, 1995 - F-117A (ser. number 85-0822), captain Kenneth Levens "Bandit 461." The plane crashed into the ground in the Zuni area, New Mexico, during a night flight. The alleged reason is disorientation pilot who had a small touch on the F-117. Captain levens died.
September 14, 1997 - F-117A (ser. number 81-0793), Major Bryan Knight "Bandit 437." The plane crashed in the air and crashed into a building during an air show in Chesapeake, Maryland. The accident occurred for a technical reason that led to loss of pilot control. On earth, 4 people were injured. Major Knight safely catapulted[11].

Do not you think that if the pilot died then the accident is attributed to his disorientation, and if he survived then to technical problems, including the failure of the control system. I think the control system is to blame for most accidents. F-117, as you rightly said, it is impossible to pilot without a computer.

Mr. Professor, you don’t tell me the reason for the Israeli UAV landing on water a few days ago. And then all this hype is incomprehensible.

[Professor]

The engine over the sea in the Netanyi area failed (look at the map where it is) and so that no one on earth could be killed; Last time, the wing collapsed when the device was tested with special load, which one they did not want to talk to.

[Delta]

Quote: Canep

Let him first put him on the deck of the ship, in average statistical weather

For some reason, "Buran" once sat down in automatic mode without any problems. Not on deck, of course, but the difference is not great. Especially if we compare the sizes of these two aircraft (drone and "Buran")

[Canep]

And you heard that when the Buran landed, the leadership was ready to destroy it because at some point it behaved inappropriately. And ask how many spacecraft were lost due to software errors, and not only ours.

[Delta]

Quote: Canep

And you heard that when the Buran landed, the leadership was ready to destroy it because at some point it behaved inappropriately

and yet he sat down. This is a fact. And the fact that drones are used quite actively and not only for reconnaissance is also a fact. And somehow all their program errors (where would they be without them) are a lesser evil than the loss of the crew. This means that there is not much time left before using aircraft carriers.

[Canep]

Not everything is so simple, an accident when landing a drone can damage both an aircraft carrier and aircraft on deck. Loss of one drone here is likely to cost. On the example of Windows, you can clearly see how many mistakes programmers make, each update is a bug fix. In the case of a drone, half of the errors will lead to the loss of the device. An error when landing on an aircraft carrier is a damaged aircraft carrier, and several more aircraft on deck. At one time, the 486 processor had an error at the firmware code level. So minus, wait and see.

[Gregazov]

Access to memory over 1 Mb was obtained as a result of a programmer’s error, not only on a 486 machine, but earlier.

[AK-47]

Vadim Kozyulin - program director ... noted that drones are the aviation of the future. According to him, in Russia this business was missed a bit.
... Russia was forced to purchase the necessary equipment, as well as a license for its manufacture from Israel.
... The solution by the Americans of the technical task of taking off UAVs from the deck of an aircraft carrier is a signal that a person is becoming less and less in demand for warfare.

Amazing strategic myopia of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

[Canep]

In order to have a drone now, it was necessary to start development 10-20 years ago, and at that time, officers were not even paid salaries for drunks and liberals. The enthusiastic designers brought what was started, but there was nothing to say about new developments.

[Professor]

I repeat, the operator does not land the UAV on the deck, the UAV itself lands and the hand does not flinch at the computer and the adrenaline does not go off scale.

[Canep]

Did you hear anything about software bugs?

[Canep]

Software errors for this unit can only be detected during actual operation at sea. At ground ranges it’s not possible to take everything into account.

[Roll]

China and Europe rushed after the amers to catch up; we need to cooperate closely with them otherwise we will be late. As for landing on an aircraft carrier in bad weather, alternative options are also possible, for example, refueling in the air and on the mainland airfield., And then again on the aircraft carrier. In general, this direction in aviation is very scary, the creation of autonomous systems is very controversial. If a drying pilot does not want to attack a superhorn pilot without a reason, then two operators of different drones can easily arrange an air battle. For example, the Chinese operator of a flying sword can easily ram x-47. But how this conflict will be resolved, what legal norms, who is to blame, remains to be established.

A position bordering on criminal idiocy. It is very reminiscent of officials from the Defense Ministry and the military-industrial complex, who, dropping their fat cheeks from the table, argue: "Yes, we have them, but what for is it necessary, it is falling."

Start right away with the perpetual motion machine. Why bother with the little things?

This is certainly great, but hacking the control channel code is not an easy task, and even more so it cannot be done quickly, it’s simpler to develop detection and destruction tools

[Simple]

It is even easier to develop a system of "kickbacks" in the United States.

[mbr0969]

She is already developed there is not weak ...

[Roll]

And why the capture system is only for UAVs? And the rockets, how cool amers launched the rockets, and we Russians took control and were redirected to the Chinese or Amers, and the satellites of the amers do it, they launch them into space, and we Russians took control and take off the cream. Wonderful, but unrealistic.

[Roll]

If you understand the difficulties of landing an UAV on an aircraft carrier and why there should be a big accident. The UAV hit the aircraft carrier is very small. The main issue is the capture of trss. If the UAV missed the cable, it could go to the second round. Damage to the chassis from rolling, of course a nuisance, but not fatal. In addition, there are now self-learning programs and algorithms with the rudiments of Artificial Intelligence, which significantly reduces the complexity of programming. Plus, there are systems such as a thread, and the screening effect can be created under a blow of air from below. Therefore, what I am taught in the near future is landing on aircraft carriers I have no doubt.

I hope that in Russia the brain will not just stupidly stand in line for a deck UAV, but remember what an asymmetric response is. Any UAV is primarily satellite systems, communications and GPS. The proven technologies for the destruction of such facilities are an excellent response to any innovation in the field of UAVs and not only.

[Kuzkin Batyan]

right, knowingly invent weapons based on new physical principles. I aimed the beam at the device, and the electrical circuits in it stopped working. They said that there are electromagnetic bombs in Russia the size of a capacitor from an old Soviet TV. There is almost no current information about this weapon, and the capabilities of this weapon. Maybe in the film "striking force" was exaggerated about the possibility and existence of such bombs.

Colleagues
what are you arguing about, breaking spears, scattering minuses? the tests have just begun. Do you want everything to be done at once on the first flight? The gringos do not think so, they adhere to the principle "they walk along Deribasovskaya gradually, they walk slowly along Deribasovskaya". however, they are doing the right thing.
did you perform a landing test with aerofinisher cables? completed on May 4, 2013.



Did you take the take-off test from the deck of an aircraft carrier? completed on May 14, 2013.



so what? bad pace?
in general ... yes, gringos are confidently developing and using UAVs. even a medal has already been established for operators (by the way, the first medal established after the Second World War!). so what? jerked a cool little sos-sola and slapped someone.



and after honestly "worked shift" in a bar or home to his wife. and there the medal is already in store. and any experiences!

however, while the gringos are learning from the UAV, with the same X-47B, the Iranians are "learning" to intercept and plant them on other models.

Something amers are not using the invisibility as intended, as an interceptor. This is to prevent the intruder from seeing who knocked him down. The F-22 was designed as a strike aircraft. Maybe he is only good for what "bears" to chase? (amendment - conditional interception)

Yes, the plane turned out to be too expensive, especially if you use it to "conditionally intercept" the Bears.


According to sabzh, I think the future for UAVs. The ability to eliminate the weak link (in physical terms, the restriction on maximum overloads) - a pilot who also needs to be trained for a long time and expensively - is already good

[Beck]

Let me mention one thing.

The term "invisible" was put into circulation by journalists and many understand it literally, and some are angry when such planes are spotted.

In KB, such aircraft were developed only as subtle. The calculation was simple. It's rude of me. The plane flies at a speed of 1000 km per hour. An ordinary plane is spotted for 200 km. There are about 12 minutes to issue commands, direct missiles and shoot down an airplane. An inconspicuous aircraft with 200 km is not detected, it is detected from a distance of 100 km and here about 6 minutes may not be enough to make a decision. A stealth aircraft manages to complete its task.

Something like that.
