China's UAV technology has developed rapidly and its products are rich and complete. Many excellent products have been exported to other countries and have performed brilliantly in many actual battles.
Yunying UAV is one of the few anti-ship UAVs in the world. This kind of UAV can be mounted on amphibious assault ship and play an attack role similar to that of an aircraft carrier.
For example, the Rainbow -4 inspection and combat integrated UAV is a UAV developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation on the basis of Rainbow -3 UAV. The aerodynamic design is updated on the basis of Rainbow -3 UAV, which greatly improves the flight distance and load. The main equipment of Rainbow -4 medium-range UAV system includes: medium-range UAV, ground vehicle telemetry and remote control station and ground support equipment. The longest voyage can reach 3500 kilometers and the cruising time can reach 40 hours, during which there is no need to refuel.
The plane is equipped with a camera, SAR radar and communication equipment. In addition to routine investigation, it can also mount precision-guided weapons to accurately strike fixed and low-altitude moving targets on the ground.
In addition, at the 20 16 Zhuhai Air Show, a variety of new unmanned aerial vehicles from China were displayed, including an unmanned attack aircraft capable of mounting light anti-ship missiles. This is the first time that China has exposed an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of carrying out anti-ship combat missions. It can be said that this has created a new method of maritime warfare.
In fact, the application of drones in the sea-based field has long been precedent in China. In addition to a vertical take-off and landing reconnaissance drone, Rainbow -4 UAV is also used in the field of maritime operations. According to the report of China Aerospace on June 12, 20 15, the 11th Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation successfully implemented the demonstration of "Blue Seagull" Rainbow -4 UAV in the coastal area of Yantai, Shandong Province.
