CH-3D UCAV

Built by CASC (China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation), it’s an upgraded version of the CH-3A with better performance and endurance.

The CH-3D is now a high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) drone, similar to the Bayraktar TB2 or the Global Hawk. It features satellite communication (SATCOM) for long-range control, retractable landing gear, and can carry precision weapons.

It uses advanced composite materials, making it lighter, stronger, and harder to detect by radar. The camera and targeting systems have been improved for clearer images and more accurate strikes. A new engine also gives it better fuel efficiency and longer flight time.
