In the afternoon of the second day, the department reported back that Working Group 715's request was approved after discussion. Qu Sen was required to list the technologies involved. The department would take the list and coordinate with Station 109 and Station 51-1.
Before Qu Sen returned home from school, apart from some military functions that were still being perfected, the external design and power parts had basically been finalized. Therefore, Qu Sen quickly listed the parts that needed to be learned from, and filled in the form of the software parts that needed to be used, as well as the technology that needed to be used.
When the list was handed to the department, the last member of the drone team, Liu Zhiquan, was finally in place.
Liu Zhiquan had been working for two years. Like Qu Sen, he also had the rank of Level 3 Superintendent and was very proficient in electronic circuits. However, he was a typical science and engineering geek. He was usually quiet, but when he discussed the integrated circuit board of the drone with Qu Sen, he would talk non-stop and ask questions one after another.
When Qu Sen told him some of the design ideas, he was immediately able to understand them very well. Some of the local circuit diagrams would be casually sketched out by his pen.
In addition, Sun Miao was worthy of being a top student in mechanical and power engineering. When Qu Sen explained to him the power principle and mechanical structure of the drone, he could use the computer to create a 3D model without any effort. Together with Liu Zhiquan, the two of them worked on it for a long time before they deduced the general structure of the "Qin Crossbow."
Compared to Liu Zhiquan and Sun Miao, Feng Yanhui was a little worse. Although she graduated from network engineering, she had been in the Internet Surveillance Bureau for more than a year. Now, she was familiar with the database, but when it came to software development, especially driver coding, she couldn't even catch up to Qu Sen. She couldn't even compare to Zhou Li and Li Ying.
However, Qu Sen wasn't in a hurry. He already had an idea in mind. In the development of the police drone, he planned to apply to "outsource" all the difficult parts of the software to Station 51-1.
Qu Sen had this idea because he felt that with his and Feng Yanhui's strength in software, they could not independently develop a complete control platform for police drones.
The basic design of the software was alright, but the programming of the driver for the OMAP1710 chip and other possible components was definitely not up to par.
Moreover, if the police were to apply for permission to use the software at the House of Five One, they probably wouldn't have the nerve to charge for permission. It was very likely that they would provide it for free like Qu Sen. However, if the police needed software development, they would have to pay for it if they wanted to use it.
Of course, there were many places in China that could do software engineering, but in the area of small drones, 51 and 109 were already at the forefront in terms of software and hardware, respectively.
In addition, the Wuyi Institute belonged to the military after all, and its confidentiality was far stronger than similar local units, so the fees were much cheaper. Therefore, for the police, finding them was definitely the best choice.
After knowing the abilities of the three members of his team, Qu Sen began to discuss with everyone what else could be developed for police use of small drones in addition to the basic requirements of the working group.
The four people in the team, including Qu Sen, didn't have much experience in police work, but they had watched a lot of police-themed movies and TV works. Although some of the plot content in some works was basically "bullshit". But they could still summarize the situations that the police had to face in their actual work.
After some discussion, the four of them came up with a few possible functions.
The first was to divide the general reconnaissance drone into two models. One was larger, and they considered installing a loudspeaker. When necessary, the drone could do guidance work similar to evacuating the crowd.
The second model was smaller, and with a telephoto lens, it could perform relatively covert reconnaissance, search, and tracking work. In addition, it could install a stun grenade launcher.
In a situation similar to a hostage being taken, it could secretly approach and use the stun grenade to make the suspect lose the ability to take further action. If this function could be implemented, it would be much more reliable than long-distance sniping or launching a surprise attack after the combatants approached.
In terms of technical surveillance drones, the modified version of the "Nightingale" was already very perfect. Whether it was stealth, surveillance images, or sound pickup ability, it could be used almost anywhere.
In addition, after the team discussion, they thought of adding a comparison plug-in into the control platform that could connect to the police database. After the drone captured the suspect's image, it could immediately be compared with the database. This way, the identity of the suspect could be confirmed in the fastest way.
Qu Sen also prepared to take advantage of the situation where mobile phones were becoming more and more popular. He prepared a simplified version of the tactical interference model designed by Professor Wu. With the flexibility of the drone, it could block mobile phone signals and civilian short-wave channels. It could cut off the communication between criminals, especially when they were committing crimes.
There were many good ideas, but there was still a big problem. When the police used drones, most of the time, it was in urban environments. Because there were many buildings and many sources of wireless interference, no matter the model, the control range would be greatly affected.
The effective control range of the "Qin Crossbow" was more than two kilometers in a battlefield environment, but in a city, it was reduced to about 1.3 kilometers. In the most complicated environment, the digital image transmission of the high-speed camera would be delayed even if the distance was less than one kilometer.
If they used a high-power composite antenna similar to the "Nightingale", the situation would definitely be improved, but the effect would also be greatly reduced. As for the specific effective range, they still needed to test it before they could get the exact data.
Two days later, Qu Sen's technology list was approved by the military. At the same time, Qu Sen wrote down his team's research direction for the police drones. After Huang An read it, he submitted it to the evaluation team.
After the evaluation team's comprehensive research and review, they successfully approved the experimental research and development application for four types of drones.
The related component procurement and customization began. At the same time, they also contacted Professor Wu from the University of Information Engineering and asked for assistance in designing the core component of the interfering drone.
After Qu Sen's explanation, the leadership team understood that the development of the drone control platform was fundamentally different from the common police database program.
It was a large project that integrated many components, especially the development of the core driver, which directly affected the usage parameters of the small drone.
Although Qu Sen and Feng Yanhui could complete most of the design and production of the platform, the core part was better left to the professional software development unit.
Qu Sen didn't need to deliberately mention it. The leadership team thought of the 51I Research Institute, which was the leading research institute in the country in terms of drone software engineering.
After some negotiation, the 51I Research Institute took over the development of the core driver of the small drone for the police.
After the drone team's design work was coordinated and began to get on track, the tactical organization innovation team also found Qu Sen.
They had set up a development team for the mobile communication and command platform. As soon as the team was established, the development team leader, An Yue, took over and the first thing she did was to ask Cheng Wanqi for Qu Sen.
The reason was that she had seen Qu Sen's file and knew that Qu Sen was not only deeply involved in the development of various versions of the 51I Research Institute's military command platform, but he also majored in communication command.
This communication command major was not unique to the military school. The police school also had the same major. The names of the two majors were the same, and the basic subjects were the same.
In terms of application, the students of the military school mainly worked on radar and digital command. The graduates of the police school would mainly participate in the communication command of the police and the border police force.
An Yue presided over the police mobile command platform, which would assume the function of communication command in the future.
This work platform was mainly designed to take into account police operations, especially large-scale operations. If it was only remotely commanded by the command center, it would definitely lack flexibility.
Most of the existing on-site commands of the police were still limited to a walkie-talkie in their hands. They relied on their experience and the constant verbal reports of the execution teams to judge the progress of the operation.
This was obviously no longer suitable for the increasingly complex criminal means and the ability of criminal organizations.
Last year, in a first-tier city, there was even a criminal organization leader who used perfect network monitoring and wireless communication means to deploy his men in the middle to deal with the police. In terms of on-site monitoring and command efficiency, he was better than the police.
After the criminal gang's chief criminal was arrested, he mocked the police in the interrogation room and threatened that if he was given the same ability to deploy resources as the police. In his eyes, the police were a group of scum.
His attitude could be said to be extremely arrogant.
In order to avoid similar "embarrassing" situations, the working group was prepared to refer to the police command system of advanced countries after discussion. The second-level command platform, which was the mobile command vehicle, was added to the on-site command.
In the future, the command center would only be responsible for controlling the direction of the police's large-scale operations. The specific command responsibility would be handed over to the second-level platform for on-site command. The command of small and medium-sized operations would be completely handed over to the mobile command platform.
Compared to the military's combat command platform, the functional requirements of this police-use command platform were still very different.
First of all, the police-use command platform's requirements for channel security and database encryption level were relatively weaker. After all, the platform's work was faced with criminals, and the other party's technical means were limited.
It could not be compared to the military's combat command platform, which had to be prepared to face the enemy's advanced electronic warfare means at all times.
However, the police platform, with the support of the Skynet system and the wide area network, needed more efficient and direct real-time multimedia communication means, as well as other platform support that could help with the operation command.
Although the focus of the two work platforms was different, it was undeniable that the military's command platform was already ahead of the police platform in terms of functions and the application of related technology.
For the police mobile command vehicle, especially the research and development of the software platform, it had a lot of reference and guiding significance.
If An Yue wanted to understand the technical characteristics of the military platform, other than personally making a trip to the 51st Police Station, the more direct way was to ask Qu Sen for advice. She even wanted Qu Sen to directly participate in the research and development of the police-use platform.
Regarding An Yue's reasonable request, Cheng Wanqi agreed without much consideration. Qu Sen did not have the right to refuse the leader's work arrangements. Very quickly, the days of the investigation technology innovation group and the tactical organization innovation group working on both sides began.
At this time, a new problem appeared. The offices of the two groups were more than ten kilometers apart. Taking a taxi was a waste of money, and public transportation was inefficient. With the financial ability of Huacheng City, it was not a problem to get him a car, but Qu Sen did not have a driver's license.
Because of the needs of work, it was reasonable to give a third-level superintendent an official car, but it would be a joke to give him a driver. Many of the leaders at the level of superintendent did not receive such treatment.
