Lub dav hlau soj ntsuam huab cua U-2 Dragon Lady, uas nyob rau qhov siab thiab txhua huab cua, tau ya nws lub koob yees duab kawg ntawm Bill Air Force Base.
Raws li tus thib 2 piav qhia. Lieutenant Hailey M. Toledo, 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs, hauv tsab xov xwm "End of an Era: U-2s on Last OBC Mission," lub luag haujlwm OBC yuav thaij duab siab thaum nruab hnub thiab yuav hloov mus rau pem hauv ntej ntawm kev txhawb nqa. Qhov chaw sib ntaus sib tua tau muab los ntawm National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Qhov kev txav no tso cai rau tus processor los koom ua ke zaj duab xis ze rau qhov kev sau reconnaissance uas xav tau rau lub luag haujlwm.
Adam Marigliani, Collins Aerospace Engineering Support Specialist, tau hais tias: "Qhov kev tshwm sim no kaw ib tshooj uas ntev kaum xyoo hauv Bill Air Force Base thiab kev ua yeeb yaj kiab thiab qhib ib tshooj tshiab hauv lub ntiaj teb digital."
Collins Aerospace tau ua haujlwm nrog 9th Intelligence Squadron ntawm Beale Air Force Base los rub tawm cov duab OBC los ntawm U-2 lub luag haujlwm thoob ntiaj teb los txhawb nqa lub hom phiaj ntawm Air Force.
Lub luag haujlwm OBC tau ua haujlwm ntawm Bill AFB yuav luag 52 xyoo, nrog rau thawj U-2 OBC xa tawm ntawm Beale AFB hauv xyoo 1974. Coj los ntawm SR-71, OBC tau hloov kho thiab sim ya los txhawb nqa U-2 platform, hloov lub sensor IRIS uas tau siv ntev. Thaum IRIS qhov ntev focal 24-nti muab kev npog dav, OBC qhov ntev focal 30-nti tso cai rau kev nce ntxiv ntawm kev daws teeb meem.
"Lub dav hlau U-2 tseem muaj peev xwm ua tiav cov haujlwm OBC thoob ntiaj teb thiab muaj peev xwm xa cov tub rog mus rau lwm qhov chaw thaum xav tau," Lt. Col. James Gayser, tus thawj coj ntawm 99th Reconnaissance Squadron tau hais.
OBC raug xa mus txhawb nqa ntau yam haujlwm, suav nrog kev pab cuam Hurricane Katrina, qhov xwm txheej ntawm Fukushima Daiichi nuclear fais fab nroj tsuag, thiab Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, thiab Joint Task Force Horn of Africa.
Thaum ua haujlwm hla Afghanistan, U-2 tau thaij duab thoob plaws lub tebchaws txhua 90 hnub, thiab cov chav nyob thoob plaws Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Tiv Thaiv tau siv OBC cov duab los npaj kev ua haujlwm.
"Txhua tus kws tsav dav hlau U-2 yuav khaws cov kev paub thiab kev txawj ntse los siv cov sensors thoob plaws ntau yam haujlwm thiab qhov chaw ua haujlwm kom tau raws li tus thawj coj ntawm thaj chaw sib ntaus sib tua qhov xav tau kev sau cov ntaub ntawv tseem ceeb," Geiser hais. "Raws li qhov xav tau ntau yam kev xav tau sau ntau yam txuas ntxiv mus, qhov kev pab cuam U-2 yuav hloov pauv kom tswj tau qhov cuam tshuam ntawm kev sib ntaus sib tua rau ntau yam peev xwm C5ISR-T thiab kev sib koom ua ke ntawm Tub Rog Huab Cua."
Kev kaw ntawm OBC ntawm Bill AFB tso cai rau cov chav haujlwm thiab cov neeg koom tes los tsom mus rau lub zog ntau dua rau kev muaj peev xwm thaum muaj xwm txheej ceev, cov tswv yim, cov txheej txheem thiab cov txheej txheem, thiab cov tswv yim ua haujlwm uas txhawb nqa ncaj qha rau qhov teeb meem kev hem thawj uas tau teeb tsa los txhawb nqa tag nrho lub luag haujlwm 9th Reconnaissance Wing.
Lub dav hlau U-2 muab kev saib xyuas thiab kev soj ntsuam hauv qhov siab, txhua lub caij nyoog, nruab hnub lossis hmo ntuj, los txhawb nqa Asmeskas thiab cov tub rog sib koom siab. Nws muab cov duab tseem ceeb thiab cov cim qhia kev txawj ntse rau cov neeg txiav txim siab thaum txhua theem ntawm kev tsis sib haum xeeb, suav nrog cov cim qhia thiab cov lus ceeb toom thaum muaj kev thaj yeeb, kev tsis sib haum xeeb tsawg thiab kev ua tsov rog loj.
Lub U-2 muaj peev xwm sau ntau yam duab, suav nrog ntau lub teeb hluav taws xob, infrared thiab cov khoom siv radar uas tuaj yeem khaws cia lossis xa mus rau cov chaw tsim kho hauv av. Tsis tas li ntawd, nws txhawb nqa qhov kev daws teeb meem siab, dav dav huab cua uas muab los ntawm cov koob yees duab optical strip uas tsim cov khoom siv zaj duab xis ib txwm muaj, tsim thiab tshuaj xyuas tom qab lawv tsaws.
