A drone does not require external control and can fly independently, but there are other restrictions. For example, if the oil is consumed, it will also fall off. After capturing the drone, the first step is to cut off power and oil.

When all this is done, the next step is to find a tow truck and drag it into the hangar to avoid being discovered by reconnaissance satellites flying overhead.

When the RQ-170 drone entered the hangar, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally got it!

Half an hour later, some people realized something was wrong.

"The RQ170 drone we took off from the Empire Cemetery suddenly lost contact!"

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, it was still good when I flew past Isfahan base. I sent us the data back once, but it disappeared afterwards."

"Is it shot down? Impossible, that's our most advanced stealth drone!"

"Now, the advantages of stealth aircraft are no longer as good as before. Various anti-stealth technologies will allow our aircraft to be discovered or even shot down."

Everyone was talking, and Tenet frowned: "The first thing to do now is to find where the plane is. If it really falls on the land of the Padma, it will be necessary to find a way to destroy it."

It must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the restoration man, which has advanced American technology on it!

"How to destroy it?"

"Try all kinds of ways to destroy it!" Bennett said: "If the Padmasters obtain that drone, it means that the Orientals also obtained the technology above! We cannot tolerate this situation!"

"Boss, I think we should think about it now. If they really get it, how should we explain it. As for the destruction, there is no need to destroy it. If the plane is knocked down, it will definitely have crashed and only the wreckage is left."

"Yes, we just say that the plane lost control, how did we get in by ourselves?"

"Those are not important, we need to determine where the plane is."

They did not let them wait for a long time, and a few days later, the rest Kingdom took the initiative to make the news public.

"Not long ago, near Isfahan, our brave soldiers captured a U.S. drone reconnaissance aircraft, and we once again seriously protested this violation of our airspace!"

When Bennett saw this news, he didn't take it seriously.

"It seems that they have indeed shot down. They may have advanced anti-stealth radar on hand. Damn, the spread of this technology is not good for us. We must solve this hidden danger... Hey, why is that plane complete?"

Bennett looked at the TV, where videos of the captured drone appeared. From all angles, it was a complete drone with no trace of being hit.

"Yeah, how did they do it?"

"Is this a model they made?" At this time, the crowd was full of incredible.

What does the complete drone mean? Did this plane land on its own initiative?

"It's not a model, it should be our real aircraft. Look at its landing gear, its unique metal texture, is not fake."

"Is it because our plane failed and it fell down on its own initiative?"

At this moment, the host's words came from the TV again.

"In order to capture this drone, we used the latest satellite navigation jammer. This jammer can not only interfere with the signal of the GPS satellite, but also inject false data. After the drone flew near our base, it was believed that it had returned to the takeoff point, so it landed independently according to the built-in procedure."

Interfere with GPS signal!

Everyone understands it.

"Damn, they don't have the right to interfere with our GPS satellites!"

"This is simply provoking us! We should attack them!"

Everyone was a little angry.

However, they were only angry. They had no temper toward the enemy of Anxu Kingdom. After all, they had used all means, Anxu Kingdom never gave in.

"Issued an announcement to the outside world that we have a drone that has entered the airspace of the Rest Country due to a program failure. We hope that they will return the drone to us. It is our property of the United States." Bennett said powerlessly.

He knew that he could no longer use such drones to cross-border reconnaissance in the future. He used to be unable to use Global Hawk, but now he can't use RQ-170. What else can they do?

In the future, we can only use reconnaissance satellites!

"The Rest Kingdom is provoking us. They want to tell us that the GPS that our army relies most will be disturbed by them at any time!" Another cursed: "Damn it, we must solve this hidden danger! What do you think we should do?"

"I think we should install the Beidou navigation system on all the equipment."

"What did you say? This is the stupidest plan I have heard!"

"This is the best, after all, they can't interfere with the satellite navigation system they use!"

East, Huanglou.

"The only shell left in RQ-170 is there, and the electronic equipment inside has been dismantled and sent back. Our relevant personnel are studying it." Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao: "Taozi, you have made great contributions."

"Dad, I did nothing, it was all done by technicians." Qin Tao said: "But this time, it's enough for the Americans to have a drink. Especially their satellite navigation system, I don't know if they need to be updated."

This time, we not only need to get the American reconnaissance plane, but also release false information to the public.

It can't be said that they have deciphered their data link. When they change a new password, they have to re-decipher it. Moreover, they are developing a more advanced Link22 data link. It will be more difficult to decipher it at that time. It is best to use this first.

If they don’t tell the reason, they will definitely guess. Maybe they will think of the data link problem and simply tell them directly that we are using the vulnerability of satellite navigation!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The Americans were the first to be practical in satellite navigation and were still used in large quantities on the battlefield. Now they are unable to do without this thing, just let the Americans know how fragile this thing they rely heavily on!

In fact, in the past, there were jammers for GPS, but they could only interfere with signals. Now, we can go further and use other signals directly to allow the terminal to receive false signals and get the wrong address.

When this technology develops, the US military will face terrible problems in the future: fighter jets lose their correctness by throwing bombs, and even fighter jets don’t know how to fly!

Maybe, according to the instructions of GPS, they will fly over their own people's heads and throw bombs!

After more than 20 years of exploration, the Americans launched the first formal GPS working satellite on February 4, 1989. By June 1993, the 24th satellite was launched, officially realizing global networking.

After that, the world began to rely on this advanced satellite navigation system. No one thought about what the world would look like after this system failed. Not to mention, just one timer service will affect the power grid, financial transactions, etc. In 2016, the United States retired a GPS satellite, which caused a 13-microsecond error to occur in the entire satellite system. Just such a trivial error caused the world to be confused for 12 hours.

Now, everyone knows that GPS is unreliable, what will they do next?

"In this way, we have more users of Beidou." Qin Tao said: "After all, there are no jammers for our Beidou navigation yet, and if one more navigation, there will be more insurance."

This time, the American drone captured and announced it directly to the public has many benefits, such as asking the Americans to turn their attention to the satellite navigation system. The Americans dare not send drones to the Retirement Country to investigate, and will also expand the user group of Beidou navigation system.

Beidou navigation is like GPS civil signals, both are open, as if even if the user group expands, it will not get more benefits. In fact, this is just a one-sided view.

Beidou navigation system is free, but this module costs money! If you want to use this navigation system, you must have a built-in receiving module, and the manufacturer of this module will also make more money.

Who is the manufacturer? Of course it is Mingzhou Group. In order to promote Beidou navigation, Qin Tao helped and contracted the production of these receivers.

Of course, making money is a small matter, and it is more strategic considerations. Once these users choose Beidou, they will definitely hope that the Beidou system will be more stable and support them more firmly. If Beidou navigation can squeeze out GPS and become the world's largest navigation system, that would be even better.

After all, these two navigation systems are now in the world.

The Russians' system has always been paralyzed and is not easy to use. As for the Galileo system in Europe, the networking is still far away. Since GPS is unreliable, you can only use Beidou!

"Americans are updating their GPS satellites. Now this is the case. Do they have to throw away the second generation satellites and continue to develop advanced satellites?" Wu Shengli said.

Satellites have lifespans, and the Russians' navigation satellites have a lifespan of only half a year, so their network has not been established. After all, they have to continuously launch satellites and burn money.

In contrast, the lifespan of GPS in the United States is much longer, and the lifespan of the first generation satellite is ten years. Therefore, after the successful networking in 1993, a batch of them have been replaced one after another in recent years. With the development of technology, they have also been replaced by the second generation navigation satellites. The lifespan of these navigation satellites has been increased to 12 years, but overall, there have not been much change.

"Yes, we must throw away the second-generation navigation satellite and develop the third-generation satellite. Moreover, this third-generation satellite has to solve the problem of being disturbed now." Qin Tao said: "But it will be a huge expense. How did the Americans drag the Soviet Union to death to death now?"

Before Qin Tao was reborn, the Americans had already created the third generation of GPS satellites. This satellite has many characteristics, such as three times the accuracy and eight times the anti-interference ability. These are all improved on the original basis, and there is nothing to say. Among them, the revolutionary progress is that this satellite uses a brand new L1C civilian signal, which allows it to interoperate with other satellite systems.

What does this mean?

To get your position information, you need three navigation satellites above your head. If you add a height, you need four. In the past, this required the same model, such as GPS, either Beidou, or Galileo. This brand new GPS navigation satellite can not only use its own, but also other ones.

For example, one GPS and three Beidou can solve the navigation problem, or one GPS, two Beidou, and one Galileo, and then use it in this way. All signals cannot be interfered with, right?

This solves the problem to the greatest extent.

It sounds very advanced, but this advanced navigation satellite is naturally very expensive. In later generations, the Americans only launched this project in 2016 and brought all their big shots, including Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Each company received $6 million in funding to start bidding.

After choosing a supplier, it cost $1.4 billion to launch only the first two satellites. The entire project is worth tens of billions of dollars.

It was only when the second-generation navigation satellite reached its lifespan. Now, the second-generation navigation satellite has just been launched and has to be scrapped. This is a huge expense!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, the ball is played to the Americans, it depends on how they take it!

Wu Shengli shook his head: "No, I think they have another way, such as deciphering our Beidou navigation and then doing it in the same way."

Qin Tao suddenly reacted: "Yes! You have to investigate the R&D personnel to see if anyone in the Beidou team was instigated, or left the team to the United States halfway, especially a woman..."

Pentagon, USA.

"The attack on our navigation satellites is too much!"

"Yes, navigation satellites are so important, they are related to the battles and even safety of our navy, army, air and air forces. Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem!"

Although the Americans have long been aware of this problem and have even practiced combat without the support of satellite navigation systems, it was just an exercise after all. If the satellite navigation system cannot be used in daily operations, it would be too inconvenient.

"Very good, I remember that we didn't have navigation satellites back then, so we still fought. Now, can't we do without navigation satellites?"

After hearing this complaint, countless people present smiled bitterly.

That's right, there was no need for navigation satellites back then, so when we flew over and bombed, we could only rely on inertial navigation and terrain matching. Although we could fly to the destination, the accuracy was at a hundred meters level! After flying, the pilot still needed to determine the target and launch an attack. What about now? The Jadam bomb modified from a simple GPS kit can reach the meter-level accuracy.

Can this be compared?

With navigation satellites, it is much more convenient.

Besides, were there so many drones in the past? In the era of drones, if you want to know your position coordinates accurately, you have to rely on satellite navigation! No matter how accurate the inertial navigation system is, it will continue to increase cumulative errors as you fly, similar to the Global Hawk, which can fly in the sky for thirty or forty hours. If you only use inertial missiles, you will definitely not be able to find the airport when you come back!

"We must develop a new generation of navigation satellites," said Mel Burnbaum. "Only a new generation of satellite navigation systems can help us avoid these problems. This is an urgent matter."
