What are the main technologies of UAV?

Achieve the acquisition of high-resolution images.

UAV can collect high-resolution images, which can make up for the shortcoming that satellite remote sensing often can't get images because of cloud cover, and solve the problems of long revisit period and untimely emergency of traditional satellite remote sensing.

Unmanned combat aircraft

UAV system consists of aircraft platform system, information acquisition system and ground control system. The first generation was mainly reconnaissance planes, and some UAVs were equipped with weapons (such as RQ- 1 Predator equipped with AGM- 1 14 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles). The military expects drones to play more roles. Originally, it was bombing and ground attack, air-to-air combat, and the last battlefield for pilots. Unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with weapons are called unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV).

Launch and recovery

The new generation of unmanned aerial vehicles can be launched and recovered from various platforms, such as ground vehicles, ships, planes, suborbital aircraft and satellites. The ground operator can check its program through the computer and change the course of the drone as needed. Other more advanced technical equipment, such as advanced eavesdropping equipment, radar that penetrates leaves, and micro spectrometer equipment that provides chemical capabilities, will also be installed on drones.
