In the past week, ZTE made a big move at Hangzhou Qiandao Lake General Airport, and conducted a drone emergency rescue drill with its partners.
This is not an ordinary drone, but a large unmanned helicopter, and the person in charge said that this thing can show its skills and deal with all kinds of complex rescue scenarios. Not only people within ZTE were watching, but also a bunch of emergency management bigwigs and experts witnessed this scene.
It kicked off on March 25, 2024, and lasted until the 29th, which can be described as an out-and-out long-distance run. The location was selected at the picturesque Qiandao Lake General Airport, and ZTE took great pains to prepare a series of links this time, such as how to manufacture drones, how to discuss roundtable discussions, and on-site demonstrations of test flights and quick disassembly and quick assembly.
It uses a large-load long-endurance unmanned helicopter produced by Huayi Aviation, and the equipment hung on it is also very high-end: ZTE's own communication base station, as well as China Satcom's airborne satellite terminal, Changchun Tongshi's photoelectric reconnaissance load, loudspeaker and multispectral camera, these gadgets are not missing.
The design of this emergency rescue platform is also unique. They don't mess around, they are well planned and the structure is well designed. For example, the communication load is placed at the rear of the cabin, which is designed to be quickly disassembled and assembled, and the communication quality and speed must be ensured.
The satellite communication terminal is placed above the rotor, so that there will be no embarrassment of the rotor blocking the signal, and the problem of signal reception and bandwidth loss can also be effectively solved. And the equipment for optoelectronic reconnaissance is installed in the front of the cabin, so that there is both a view and a space for operation. The most powerful thing is to throw the load, which is placed under the center of gravity, which is not only easy to mount, but also safe to perform the task.
One of the highlights of ZTE's exercise is to demonstrate the parallel capability of the unmanned helicopter emergency rescue platform. It can carry communications and reconnaissance payloads on the one hand, and can also complete the task of dropping 50 kilograms of supplies. The process is fast and stable, which fully validates the efficiency of this platform in emergency situations.
ZTE's team has rigorously tested the unmanned helicopter to ensure that it can work stably in complex environments and extreme weather conditions. No, after five days of drills, regardless of high temperatures or strong winds, this unmanned helicopter performed exceptionally well without any failures.
The drill attracted the attention of nearly 100 leaders and experts, which shows the weight of this activity. They are not only here to see the excitement, but also to seriously evaluate and communicate. Some of them are leaders from the field of aviation emergency response, and some are experts in rescue technology. It can be said that this drill is a gathering of wisdom and strength in the field of domestic emergency rescue.
The exercise was not only a platform for ZTE to show off their technology, but also a place for communication and learning. Experts and leaders from all parties shared their knowledge and experience at the event, discussing the application prospects of drones in emergency rescue, as well as the problems and challenges they may encounter in practical operation. This in-depth discussion has undoubtedly driven the progress of the entire industry.
Whether it is for ZTE engineers or experts in the field of emergency management, these five days have been full and intense. They not only witnessed the powerful capabilities of the unmanned helicopter emergency rescue platform, but also participated in the cutting-edge discussion in this field.
When the drill came to an end on March 29, everyone's faces were filled with satisfaction and pride. The efforts of ZTE and its partners have been recognized, and the unmanned helicopter emergency rescue platform has also proved its worth. For us ordinary people, this is not only a demonstration of science and technology, but also an expectation that our future life may be greatly improved.
When we mention drones, we may think of photography or express delivery, but through this exercise, we can clearly see that the application potential of drones in the field of emergency rescue is huge. With the continuous advancement of technology, drones will play an increasingly important role in the field of rescue.
