Chinese UAV's & Robots

I really don't have any information on Chinese UAV's and Robots. However in another "photo based" military forum I found many pictures of alledged Chinese UAV's and robots. If any of the members would care to comment or post about the PLA Robot/UAV programme I would really be intrested to read that information. Perhaps some of our members that can read Chinese can read what is on some of the pictures I will be posting. If anything is PS, fake or is the project of a nation other thn the PRC please point it out.

Enjoy the pictures...

More pictures..anybody know what these objects are???

Wait!! There's still more!! That's all folks! How about some knowledgeable comments guys? Thanks!!

Just about every one of these are taken from Chinese defense expos. Sorry other than the fact the stuff are really Chinese, there is not much information beyond the short marketing literature. There is also a copy of the Global Hawk that you forgot to post.

China UAV Technology
October 23, 2008


An internal Chinese government document says China is working to develop an advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as part of a strategy to combine civilian and military technology in weapons and nonmilitary equipment.

The document, which was obtained by The Washington Times, is a feasibility report dated July 8 and labeled "National Defense Science and Technology Industry Military and Civilian Dual-Use Research and Development Special Project."

A U.S. official, who spoke on condition he not be named, said the document appears genuine. Chinese Embassy spokesman Wang Baodong had no immediate comment on the document.

It states that the goal of the project is to produce a high-altitude, low-speed, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle in two years. The state-run company in charge of the program is a major Chinese weapons manufacturer, the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp. (CASIC).

According to the document, civilian uses will include aerial exploration, air-to-ground monitoring and other scientific work. Military applications for the UAV are outlined as "military aerial inspection and detection, electronic warfare and other missions."

"We hope to be able to provide quality, practical products for military and civilian clients in a speedy manner," the document says.

"At present, the United States and Israel have mastered the technology central to this type of aerial vehicle, and they have imposed a technology blockage to other countries and have exerted especially strict control with regard to our country," the document says.

It also states that China needs to "break through the core technologies of this type of aerial vehicle" by using existing technology and international cooperation to boost domestic research efforts to "enhance the military's combat capability."

The UAV program will boost scientific and technical capabilities. "The economic and social benefits will be transformed directly into actual results that reflect the doctrine of 'combining military and civilian and placing military into civilian,'" the report says.

China has purchased Israeli Harpy anti-radar drones that home in on enemy radar with an explosive charge. The drone missiles were first detected by U.S. intelligence agencies deployed near Taiwan in the 1990s.

China also has displayed scale models of planned UAVs at arms shows, including a drone that looks similar to the U.S. jet-powered long-range Global Hawk.

One of them is from Beijing Polytechnic University(they also have a pro-soccer team in the Chinese B-league for some reasons), it is a tear-gas launcher. First one on the post number 3 is the one I am talking about. It is also supported by
project 863(what is that?).

TY-1 seem to be a multi-purpose UMAV(unmanned micro air vehicle), speaking of which, the border patrol in SD will be arming will UMAV soon.

second one in post number 3 seems to be a small-medium size, general purpose UAV. The payload will have to fit into that cube in the middle. another interesting thing about it's the amount of graphite used. I thought UCSD was the one of the few "composites" schools, as the UAV I am building right now will be mainly consist of composites, but I guess I am wrong.

The remaining UAVs in post number 3 seem to be medium size general purpose UAVs.
