New target drone to mimic 5th gen fighter is ready from Henri K
2nd LARK-1 drone test flight that mimics 5G fighter aircraft

According to the new weekly report from the Academy of Aerospace Propulsion Technology (AAPT), a subsidiary of the Chinese aerospace group CASC and specialized in liquid propellant engines, a "high maneuverability" target drone has recently completed its second flight. test in an air-base transformation.
Qualified as successful, the test tested all subsystems of the drone as well as its performance in flight, such as altitude, speed and load factor.
Although no further detail has been provided in the text, it is in fact the target drone LARK-1 (百灵 一号), which, according to the description made public at the last Zhuhai Air Show, allows to simulate the flight characteristics of 4th and 5th generation air superiority fighters, and will be used to , as well as to train air defense units .
The drone measuring 1.2 × 3.95 × 0.33 meters is able to perform constant maneuvers ≤ 6g for 30 seconds or instantaneously ≤ 9g, and this at least twice during the same flight. To be able to better imitate the flight characteristics of the latest generation fighter aircraft, the craft can cruise up to Mach 1.6 speed and reach the 14,000 meter ceiling.
The LARK-1 radar cross-over area (SER) has also been worked to reflect some real combat situations, namely 0.3 m² in X-band, 3 m² in Ku-band and 5 m² in Ka-band.
In addition to an airborne version, which can be dropped at altitude by a JH-7A fighter bomber , the Chinese target drone can also be launched from a mobile platform on the ground, in which case a solid propellant booster of 2.24 × 6.37 × 0.33 meters will send it at altitude and the desired initial speed.

The development project for this LARK-1 target drone is being conducted by the team of Professor YU Yun Feng (于 云峰) of Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), and in collaboration with several Chinese manufacturers, including the 4th, 6th (AAPT) and the 9th academy of the Chinese aerospace group CASC, as well as the Institute 618 AVIC aeronautical group.
. Experts from other Chinese defense industry entities, such as those from the AVIC Air-Air Missile Institute, CAAA, CALT, and NUDT Military University also attended the test, testifying to the importance of the project for the Chinese army.
Indeed, having introduced this year the J-20 as the new generation fighter, the Chinese Air Force, which also deals with the anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense of the country, wants also provide an effective means to counteract this kind of vector effectively.
While surveillance has increased in recent years to detect and track targets such as the US F-22 or F-35 , Chinese anti-aircraft units still lack tools for "hands-on" training. .
Chinese manufacturers offer a large number of target drones each year for the various Chinese army corps, but none are actually designed to simulate supersonic flying targets capable of maneuvering. There are many who only allow to imitate the subsonic cruise missiles, which the Chinese army consumes by the hundreds every year, such as the II-250and S-200 family developed by the State Institute 60 (NRIST) Major of the Chinese Army, or the target drones BW (北 威) of the company Beijing Symbol of Power Technology Development Co., Ltd. (北京 威 标志 远 科技 发展 发展 有限公司), who also develop targets simulating ballistic missiles.
It should be noted that the Chinese army is not only interested in a target drone maneuvering like the LARK-1, but also pushes their needs much further. For example, we recently discovered that a new target drone to simulate the characteristics of a stealth cruise missile is currently in production, and , the CH-805 , which looks like an American B-2 bomber but much smaller.

CAAA Institute CH-805 Stealth Target Drone
Developing both the spear and the shield corresponds well to the current practices of the Chinese army, we see it through the J-20 and the many projects of target drone to simulate similar gear, and it is probably for the the same reason that after developing several different weapons to attack aircraft carriers - such as anti-ship missiles, anti-ship ballistic missiles, or the Boost-Glide hypersonic missile currently under study - China continues to build these same buildings.

Seem like PLAAF increase the tempo and difficulty of their training . From Henri K blog
What must be seen in the "Red Sword 2017" exercise of the Chinese Air Force, currently held in the Gobi Desert, is the integration of the different types of aircraft and a doctrine that is more offensive.

Airborne assault on the beaches training
Chinese academician Ben De from Department 14 (which develops radars and avionics) claims that China started using AESA radars on J-10s and J-11s. While it is possible that he was referring to J-10B/Cs, no J-11 variant other than the J-11D is known to use AESA radar. Is it possible that they are replacing mechanically scanned radars on newer J-11Bs?
