ASN-209 UAV has a direct line of sight data link and ground-based and airborne data relay device for performing the task horizon .

According to the U.S. Defense News 14, reported that China successfully developed a product called “Silver Hawk” UAV, unmanned aerial vehicles for the PLA Navy, which provide remote communications support. “Silver Hawk” unmanned aerial vehicles on June 1 in the first test flight in northeast China coastal region. According to an unconfirmed report said the Chinese, in the last 3.5 hours of flight testing, “Silver Hawk” unmanned aerial vehicle conducted a series of flight tests transit. Some analysts said the future of the PLA Navy will use unmanned aerial vehicles interfere with Japan Maritime Self Defense Force ships, such interference can transmit information at the same time, to avoid triggering a major event.

report quoted the Washington think tank the International Assessment and Strategy Center, Senior Fellow Richard Fisher as saying: “The new UAV communications relay information in line with the general principles of the PLA, with no one to strengthen the same machine vision system applications, although its performance has not been fully known, but this UAV is likely to cause division or brigade-level headquarters to better ensure the integrity of communications, he also pointed out that there is no evidence of previous revealed the existence of this UAV, China may also develop more versions of the UAV, for example, electronic warfare and electronic intelligence of the UAV. “

reported from China military net posted a picture point of view, “Silver Hawk” unmanned aerial vehicles to ASN-209 UAV is developed based on the fuselage and wings in the latter is installed on the four vertical antenna. ASN-209 UAV developed by the West An Aisheng company made its configuration is widely used in China’s other UAV programs. This machine has a direct line of sight UAV data links and ground-based and airborne data relay device for performing the task horizon.

UK risk consultancy Exclusive Analysis Chinese naval analyst Gary? Lee (Gary Li), said: “In recent years, the PLA has been experimenting with a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, but so far ASN-209 is still the most popular tactical deployment of UAVs.” Gary said, the PLA reconnaissance battalions, artillery forces and other ground forces are equipped with the drone. As opposed to direct control by the PLA General Staff Headquarters of altitude long-endurance UAV, the UAV is the company level or battalions assets.

Gary believes that the future of the PLA Navy will use the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force ships UAV interference, such interference can transmit information at the same time, to avoid triggering a major event. Although the UAV flight is limited, but can foresee the future, China will deploy the aircraft on naval vessels. The Chinese launch of the “Silver Hawk” UAV maximum life time of 10 hours, a combat radius of 200 km.

“Silver Hawk” unmanned aerial vehicles using two-tailed forward structure, the installation of a rocket launcher and parachute recovery system. Many of China’s unmanned aerial vehicles are using the same structure, including the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation manufactured SL-200 system and the Nanjing Institute of simulation technology and manufacturing W-50 PW-1/2 UAV. “Silver Hawk” unmanned aerial vehicles are most likely to use manufactured by the love life of 22 kg HS-700 engine. ASN-206, 207,208 UAVs are using the engine. (Compiled: Spring)
