LoongUAV Brings Loong 3 UAV to Abu Dhabi

Our Bureau - : Feb 21, 2023 - : 6:30 am

Chinese tactical drone manufacturer LoongUAV has brought the Loong 3 Tactical UAV to the ongoing show.

Based on an invitation by a country in the Middle East, the Loong 3 recently took part in live-fire target testing in which it showed its ability to drop bombs to strike with high precision.

During the exercise, Loong 3 carried mortar bombs and flew to a predefined target 10km away, automatically dropping bombs at the designated altitude (300m), hitting the target precisely and returning. Thanks to its stable flight capability and precise software program control, the LOONG 3 can conduct high-precision bomb-delivery missions within a radius of up to 70km and can carry two 81mm or four 60mm mortar rounds to strike the target.

After the bombing mission was completed, the army commander had Loong 3 conduct quiet high altitude reconnaissance. The aircraft climbed to 1500m altitude and flew to the target area 12km away for reconnaissance, through the pods on board, switched to IR mode to scan the depths of the desert, and found the trajectory of the target vehicle within 1 minute, and used the 360x zoom camera to lock and track the target. It then used laser ranging to accurately measure the location of the target vehicle, giving the command center fast real-time target location information.

Unmanned bombers can significantly reduce soldier casualties and can be quickly deployed on the front line of the battlefield to enable mortar shells to achieve the effect of guided missiles and effectively strike enemy targets.
