Description

The system encompasses the overall assembly, commissioning, and testing of light armor, ground vehicles, radar antennas, shelters, and personnel, and can be delivered in conjunction with artillery systems or independently. The system also includes the research and development and production of supporting equipment and ground support equipment for the MQ-55 loitering munition.

 Special-Purpose UAV & Loitering Munition

The special-purpose UAV and loitering munition product is the 55kg-class loitering munition 3-piece (MQ-55 loitering munition). This munition is an integrated design combining an infrared/image-guided precision-guided reconnaissance and strike UAV launched by artillery and a multi-functional warhead, with gas-powered catapult launch. The loitering munition achieves integrated reconnaissance and strike capabilities through mission allocation, route planning, and autonomous coordination. The primary objective is to develop customized special-purpose drones and loitering munitions. These are custom-made products, and other similar products on the market cannot be used on specific artillery models, possessing uniqueness and exclusivity. The loitering munition's technical solutions were developed and validated by the company's R&D department, achieving comprehensive optimization of the munition's overall structure, aerodynamics, strength, shape, and flight control. The company is responsible for the entire munition. The MQ55 loitering munition is a core subsystem of the swarm warfare system (gun, drone, and munition) used with the SR5 howitzer. The SR5 howitzer has been finalized and is being mass-produced and deployed domestically. Additionally, the company.
