“Cloud Shadow” Amid Several Drones

: Nov 5, 2018 - : 5:28 pm

The “Cloud Shadow,” an independently developed drone made by Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), besides several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from various Chinese military industrial enterprises are being showcased at the Airshow China 2018.

 

This UAV has a cruising altitude higher than the range of most surface-to-air missiles and are much faster than first generation UAVs.

 

“In a battle of medium intensity, Cloud Shadow can safely conduct fast and extensive intelligence gathering and long-distance precise attacks against targets on the ground and sea,” AVIC said in a statement sent to the Global Times on Sunday.

 

While satisfying the domestic market, Cloud Shadow is also vigorously exploring the international market and is receiving continuous attention from overseas buyers, the statement read.

China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (CAAA) announced that it has already realized a combat system which can allow one control station to control two different types of UAVs at the same time.

 

Lan Wenbo, chief engineer of CH-5 UAV, told the Global Times on Sunday that CAAA successfully developed the technology at the request of overseas clients.

 

“Currently, there is no precedent around the globe that could allow one control station to control two or more large-scale reconnaissance and attack UAVs. This will reduce the cost to our clients and improve the cooperative combat capability of our UAVs,” Lan said.
