The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp. has unveiled a new WJ-series UAV.
The angular, stealthy design of the multipurpose, subsonic WJ-500 — on display this week at Airshow China — gives it a low radar signature allowing for “great defense penetration” and provides for a variety of missions, including simulating the characteristics of cruise missiles and aircraft, according to the company.
As a combat platform it can handle a variety of payloads, including photoelectric, reconnaissance and synthetic aperture packages. Missions include reconnaissance, targeting and damage assessment.
Airshow China, known officially as the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, is being held Nov. 11-16 in Zhuhai in the southern province of Guangdong near Hong Kong.
