When natural disasters occur, they can cause damage to communication equipment in a short period of time. The affected areas often experience widespread communication disruptions, which seriously impairs the rescue and handling efforts. Therefore, ensuring smooth communication is the top priority.

       At 14:22 on July 21st, the Yulong-2H emergency disaster relief type unmanned aircraft took off from Anshun Airport and conducted reconnaissance and relay missions over Henan Province for about five hours.

       The "Wing Dragon" - 2H emergency rescue unmanned aircraft system is an emergency communication national force specially developed by the aviation industry for the Ministry of Emergency Management. It features long endurance, rapid maneuverability and wide coverage, and can restore mobile public network communication in a targeted manner over an area of 50 square kilometers, and establish a video communication network covering an area of 15,000 square kilometers.

       In response to the "three disruptions" situation in the affected areas, the "Wing Dragon" - 2H emergency disaster relief unmanned aerial vehicle, by integrating technologies such as air networking and high-altitude relay, has achieved seamless vertical and horizontal connectivity for image, voice and data transmission.

       According to previous reports, the aerial communication platform of the Wuxiong unmanned aircraft integrates reconnaissance payloads such as electro-optical pods and synthetic aperture radars, as well as communication payloads such as onboard satellite stations, public network mobile communication base stations, broadband ad hoc networks, and PDT cluster base stations.

       As a key hub node for air communication, the Wing Dragon unmanned aerial vehicle can work in conjunction with ground 370M cluster equipment, broadband self-organizing network equipment, scatter communication equipment, etc., to establish an integrated air-ground-space emergency communication network. It can quickly achieve wide-area intercommunication of narrowband voice and long-distance transmission of broadband video, etc. Transforming into an airborne base station, it can open up the lifeline for disaster relief in extreme conditions such as "broken roads, disconnected networks, and power outages", providing strong support for on-site command and dispatch, and video conference.
