CH-901 (7f09025f-b4ee-5cd6-9260-28e7529f37d7)
The CH‑901 is a Chinese‑manufactured loitering‑munition UAV produced by the China Aerospace Science & Technology Corp (CASC). Classified under the “LM” taxonomy, the system is designed to launch from ground or ship platforms, cruise at low altitude, and remain airborne for an extended “loiter” period before striking a pre‑selected target with its onboard warhead. Intended for the People’s Liberation Army, the CH‑901 provides precision strike capability against time‑sensitive or high‑value targets such as command posts, air‑defence assets, and lightly armoured vehicles, while also offering limited ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) to refine target acquisition. Its deployment underscores China’s focus on autonomous, swarm‑ready strike assets for short‑range, high‑tempo battlefield operations.
