MQ-25A Scat

Kana iyo MQ-25A pakupedzisira yapinda sevhisi, ichave iri yepamusoro-soro isina munhu anofamba nendege mota munyika. Kanenge pakati peavo vasina kuvanzika. Dzinenge dzese mota dzemuchadenga dzisina munhu dziri kushandiswa pari zvino dzinodzorwa nemunhu ari kure. MQ-25A inofanira kumiririra chizvarwa chinotevera - motokari dzemuchadenga dzisina munhu dzinogara dziri pasi pekutarisa kwevanhu. Mufananidzo weUS Navy

Mushure memakore gumi ekutsvagisa, kuyedzwa nekunatsiridzwa, US Navy yakazogadzira hurongwa hwekuunza mota dzemuchadenga dzisina kufambiswa basa. Iyi puratifomu, inonzi MQ-25A Stingray, yakarongerwa kupinda sevhisi muna 2022. Nekudaro, iyi haizove ndege inoramwa, uye haidiwi kuve nehunhu husingaonekwe, sezvaimbotarisirwa. Basa rake raive rekuita mabasa ekutakura tanker ndege mumhepo. Basa rechipiri richava rekuongorora, kucherekedza uye kurondwa kwezvinangwa zvepasi (NDP).

Mukutanga kwa2003, iyo US Defence Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) yakatanga zvirongwa zviviri zvekuyedza kugadzira mauto emuchadenga asina kufambisa. Chirongwa cheUS Air Force chakanzi UCAV (Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle) uye chirongwa cheUS Navy chakanzi UCAV-N (UCAV-Naval). Muna XNUMX, Pentagon yakabatanidza zvirongwa zvese zviri zviviri kuita chirongwa chimwe kugadzira "Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems", kana J-UCAS (Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems).

Sechikamu chechirongwa cheUCAV, Boeing yakagadzira prototype X-45A ndege, iyo yakatanga muna Chivabvu 22, 2002. Yechipiri X-45A yakaenda kumhepo munaNovember wegore iroro. Sechikamu chechirongwa cheUCAV-N, Northrop Grumman yakagadzira prototype isina munhu aifamba nendege mota, yakaratidza X-47A Pegasus, iyo yakaedzwa musi wa23 Kukadzi 2003. Ose airatidza kuderera kweradar kuoneka, injini dzakavigwa zvakadzika mufuselage uye injini yemhepo inotora yaive iri kumusoro kumberi fuselage. Ose ari maviri aivewo nedzimba dzemabhomba.

Mushure mekutevedzana kwekuedzwa kwemhepo, Boeing yakagadzira imwe prototype, yakasarudzwa X-45C. Kusiyana neyekuyedza X-45A, yaifanirwa kuve neyakakura uye ine chinangwa dhizaini, inoyeuchidza B-2A Mweya bhomba. Matatu prototypes akarongwa kuvakwa muna 2005, asi hapana akazovakwa. Chinokosha chaive kubviswa kweAir Force kubva kuchirongwa cheJ-UCAS muna Kurume 2006. Mauto eNavy akaisiyawo, akatanga chirongwa chayo.

UCAS-D Chirongwa

Muna 2006, zvakare mukubatana neDARPA, US Navy yakatanga chirongwa cheUCAS-D (Unmanned Combat Air System-Demonstrator), i.e. kuvakwa kwemuratidziri weaerial combat system isina munhu. Northrop Grumman akapinda muchirongwa ichi aine prototype proposal, yakaratidza X-47B, uye Boeing ine mhepo yeX-45C, yakaratidza X-45N.

Pakupedzisira, Navy yakasarudza chirongwa cheNorthrop Grumman, chakapiwa chibvumirano chekuvaka chiratidziro chisina kutakura motokari yemhepo, yakasarudza X-47B. Makambani anotevera akatora chikamu sevashandi vepasi muchirongwa: Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney, GKN Aerospace, General Electric, UTC Aerospace Systems, Dell, Honeywell, Moog, Parker Aerospace uye Rockwell Collins.

Zviratidziro zviviri zvinobhururuka zvakagadzirwa: AV-1 (Air Vehicle) uye AV-2. Yekutanga yakapedzwa muna Zvita 16, 2008, asi haina kuedzwa kusvika Kukadzi 4, 2011 nekuda kwekunonoka kwechirongwa uye kudiwa kwekutevedzana kwebvunzo dzeavionics. Iyo AV-2 prototype yakabhururuka munaNovember 22, 2011. Ndege mbiri idzi dzakaitika paEdward Air Force Base muCalifornia.

Muna Chivabvu 2012, prototype yeAV-1 yakatanga nhevedzano yebvunzo paNAS Patuxent River Naval Base muMaryland. Muna June 2, AB-2012 akabatana naye. Miedzo iyi yaisanganisira, kunyanya, electromagnetic spectrum bvunzo, tekisi, catapult kusimuka uye dhizaini kumhara murabhoritari yepasi inotevedzera dhiza remutakuri wendege. Kutanga kusimuka kwekataput kwakaitika munaNovember 29, 2012. Tambo yekutanga kumhara muRwizi rwePatuxent yakaitika muna Chivabvu 4, 2013.

Pakupera kwaNovember 2012, miedzo yekutanga yakatanga muchikepe chekutakura ndege USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), yakasungirirwa pachiteshi chengarava muNorfolk, Virginia. Musi waZvita 18, 2012, X-47B yakapedza kuyedza yekunze muchikepe chekutakura ndege USS Harry S. Truman. Munguva yemushandirapamwe, kuwirirana kwendege ine hangars, elevator uye on-board masisitimu emutakuri wendege akaongororwa. Yakaongororwawo kuti ndege yacho inoita sei kana ichifamba. Iyo X-47B inodzorwa kubva pasi kana kubva padhishi remutakuri wendege kuburikidza neyakakosha kuremote control terminal CDU (Control Display Unit). "Mutyairi" wendege anoisungirira kuruoko uye, nekuda kwemufaro wakasarudzika, anogona kudzora ndege semotokari neredhiyo. Mumhepo, X-47B inoita mabasa yakazvimirira kana semi-yakazvimirira. Haidzorwe nemutyairi, sezvazvinoita nendege inotyairwa kure kure seMQ-1 Predator kana MQ-9 Reaper. Mutyairi wendege anopa X-47B chete mabasa akajairika, sekubhururuka nenzira yakasarudzwa, kusarudza kwainoenda, kana kusimuka nekumhara. Uyezve, ndege inozvimiririra inoita mabasa akapihwa. Zvisinei, kana zvichidiwa, unogona kutora zvakananga kuzvidzora.

Chivabvu 14, 2013 X-47B yakavhura chitsauko chitsva munhoroondo yeAmerican airborne aviation. Ndege iyi mushure mekubudirira kuburitsa mudhishi remutakuri wendege USS George HW Bush (CVN-77) yakabhururuka maminetsi makumi matanhatu nemashanu ndokumhara paPatuxent River base. Musi waChikunguru 65 wegore rimwe chetero, X-10B yakamhara kaviri mutakuri wendege USS George HW Bush. Iyo X-47B pachayo yakadzima yechitatu yakarongwa kumhara mushure mekuona otomatiki kukanganisa mukushanda kwekombuta yekufambisa. Yakabva yaenda kuWallops Island yeNASA, kuVirginia, kwayakamhara pasina dambudziko.

Pana Mbudzi 9-19, 2013, ese maX-47Bs akaita ongororo yekuwedzera pane inotakura ndege USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). Aya aive ekutanga bvunzo dzeprototypes mbiri. Mushure mekubhururuka kwemaminetsi makumi mana nemashanu, ndege iyi yakabata-bata-uye-kuenda kumhara. Maitiro avo akaongororwa mumhepo ine simba zvakanyanya uye kuvhuvhuta kubva kune mamwe mafambiro kupfuura panguva dzakapfuura miedzo. Mune kumwe kuedzwa, imwe yendege yakabhururuka ichitenderedza mutakuri wendege, nepo imwe yacho ichibhururuka pakati pechikepe nepasi.

Pakazosvika Gunyana 18, 2013, nguva yese yekubhururuka yeX-47B yaive maawa zana. Miedzo yakatevera muUSS Theodore Roosevelt yakaitika munaNovember 100, 10. Vatariri vendege dzekutakura ndege vakabatanidzwa mune dzakasiyana siyana dzekusimuka uye kumhara.
