HONGKE Solution] How does HONGKE GNSS simulator empower drone inspection? The Core Technology Behind Efficient Testing

Based on Hongke's GNSS simulator technology solution and combined with actual application scenarios, this paper demonstrates the core value of this system in the development of new generation of inspection UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), covering a full range of testing capabilities in terms of navigational accuracy, multi-constellation compatibility, interference immunity and multi-sensor fusion performance.

Background

A UAV R&D company needs to complete the testing of a new generation of inspection UAVs, and the testing requirements include:

  • City Canyon: Serious multi-path effect
  • Mountain Environment: Signal Blocking Frequency
  • Farm SceneAlthough open, high-precision positioning is still needed.

The test must validate the UAV in a complex environment:

  • Navigation accuracy
  • Multi-constellation support capability
  • interference resistance
  • Multi-sensor fusion (GNSS + IMU + other sensors)

Limitations of traditional programs

Field testing has long been constrained by the following factors:

  • Uncontrollable weather conditions
  • Airspace application required
  • Safety Risks
  • Test scenes cannot be accurately reproduced

This makes it difficult to meet the high efficiency and consistency of R&D needs.

To avoid these limitations, companies ultimately use Laboratory GNSS Simulation Test SolutionThe test platform is automated by HONGKE for full-scene coverage and high-precision validation.

HONGKE Solution] HONGKE ArangoDB Graph Database - The Power of Graph Data: Financial Anti-Fraud from Rule Gaming to Relationship Insight

ArangoDB plays a key role in the financial anti-fraud space, helping organizations move from traditional rule-based approaches to deep relationship insights. In the face of increasingly complex and insidious fraud networks, traditional risk control systems have been overwhelmed by the lack of a global perspective, lagging rule updates, and challenges in cross-system integration, ArangoDB, through its unique native multi-model (graphs, files, vectors) capabilities, integrates fragmented customer information, transaction behavior, and device fingerprints to achieve an integrated analysis of "Relationships + Behavior + Patterns Identification". This not only significantly improves the speed and accuracy of fraud identification, reduces decision-making delays and maintenance costs, but also empowers financial institutions with the ability to proactively prevent and comprehensively understand risks, opening a new chapter in financial anti-fraud.
