#每日防务热点# Boeing has completed fuselage structural assembly for the first stealth-capable Loyal Wingman drone, and is targeting its first flight for this year. 波音公司已经完成了第一架具有隐形能力的忠诚翼人无人机的机身结构组装,并计划今年进行首次飞行。 The Loyal Wingman (Boeing Airpower Teaming System) is designed to use artificial intelligence (AI) in teaming with other manned and unmanned platforms. 忠诚的僚机(波音空中动力联队系统)旨在使用人工智能(AI)与其他载人和无人平台合作。 The aircraft is one of three prototypes that will be developed as a part of the Loyal Wingman – Advanced Development Program in partnership with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). 这架飞机是与澳大利亚皇家空军(RAAF)合作开发的三款原型飞机之一,将作为忠诚的僚机-高级开发计划的一部分进行开发。 Digital engineering and advanced composite materials have been applied to achieve cost and agility goals for the 38-foot (11.7-meter) aircraft. 数字工程和先进的复合材料已被应用于实现38英尺(11.7米)飞机的成本和敏捷性目标。 The next major milestone will be weight on wheels, when the fuselage structure moves from the assembly jig to the aircraft’s own landing gear to continue systems installation and functional testing. 下一个重要的里程碑将是轮子上的重量,当机身结构从装配夹具移动到飞机自己的起落架以继续系统安装和功能测试时。 The aircraft is expected to complete its first flight this year, Boeing said in a statement Monday. 波音公司周一发表声明称,这架飞机预计将完成今年的首次飞行。 For the Loyal Wingman, BAE Systems delivered hardware kits including flight control computers and navigation equipment; RUAG Australia delivered the landing gear system; Ferra Engineering supplied precision machine components and sub-assemblies to support the program; and AME Systems provided wiring looms to support the vehicle. 对于忠诚的僚机,BAE Systems交付了包括飞行控制计算机和导航设备在内的硬件套件;RUAG Australia交付了起落架系统;Fera Engineering提供了精密机械部件和部件来支持该计划;AME Systems提供了配线织机来支持车辆。 This first Loyal Wingman prototype will provide key lessons toward production of the ATS, which Boeing Australia is developing for the global defense market. 这第一个忠诚的翼人原型将为ATS的生产提供关键的经验教训,波音澳大利亚公司正在为全球国防市场开发ATS。 ATS sensors and systems can be chosen according to requirements. ATS传感器和系统可根据需要进行选择。 |
