On May 17, 2022, in the "2022 Flood Control Practical Drill of the Telecommunications Industry in Anyang City", the participating units included important principals from companies such as Anyang Radio and Television, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Tower. Wang Xinting, the vice mayor of Anyang City, delivered an opening speech, and Honeycomb Aerospace carried HC-540 and HC-342 UAVs to participate in the event. Honeycomb Aerospace carried out aerial emergency support work such as high-altitude monitoring, video back-transmission, equipment delivery, and river-crossing cable laying, etc., and successfully completed the air drill task, which was highly affirmed by the telecommunications industry of Anyang City.
When the communication base station is affected by the disaster and becomes inoperable, the HC-540 UAV with heavy load capacity and long endurance serves as the lifting platform, carrying wireless base station equipment and transmitting antennas. It can quickly take off and replace the ground fixed base station, thus rapidly restoring the 4G/5G mobile communication in the disaster area. The HC-540 UAV achieves real-time scheduling and efficient command, fully demonstrating the practical combat support capability of the airborne unmanned communication platform. It also solves the practical problems of being unable to send in rescue forces and transmit information in extreme situations where there are interruptions in roads, power supply and network.
The HC-342E UAV also participated in this live combat drill. It is powered by pure electricity, with a maximum flight distance of 12.5 kilometers and a maximum mission load of 15 kilograms. Equipped with a loudspeaker, it can conduct real-time command of the on-site situation. When transporting small items, it is more time-saving, cost-saving and labor-saving compared with dispatching ships. In a disaster scene that personnel cannot access, controlled by ground personnel, the UAV can complete tasks such as high-altitude monitoring and river-crossing cable laying. The high-altitude monitoring images of the UAV are transmitted to the command center, which provides a guarantee for the dispatching of the command and control center and offers a new solution for emergency rescue in the first place.
The representatives of Anyang's communication industry expressed their full affirmation of this exercise and their ardent hope for the emergency communication team of the city's communication industry. Fengchao Aerospace has the ability and confidence to complete the emergency communication support task of the communication industry.
