CH-804 (95551746-a97f-5c4c-aafa-b42393e27772)
The CH‑804 is a small, long‑range reconnaissance UAV developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) and marketed through China Defense Equipment Co., Ltd. Powered by a mini‑gasoline engine, the twin‑boom, monoplane platform can be catapult‑launched and parachute‑recovered, delivering up to 4.8 kg of payload for up to 8 hours of endurance and a line‑of‑sight radius of 75 km (maximum range 800 km). Its primary missions include battalion‑level day and night ISR, artillery fire‑correction, fire‑power guidance, target‑location reporting and post‑strike damage assessment. The system’s rapid deployment (≤30 min) and modular payload options make it suitable for both military operations—such as battlefield surveillance, anti‑terrorism patrols, and electronic‑warfare support—and civilian tasks like environmental monitoring, mapping, and pipeline patrol.
