DFX-50 (988942d3-6926-58d6-ac64-8ce50843d077)
The DFX‑50 is a Chinese‑produced, electric‑powered loitering munition developed by Centaur Defense Systems LLC. Inspired by Iran’s Shahed‑136, the 1.8 m‑span UAV weighs 16.5 kg at take‑off and can carry up to 5 kg of warheads or sensors. It launches by air‑ejection, cruises at 94 km/h, and can loiter for 120 minutes while operating below 3 km altitude and within a 100 km radius. An electro‑optical seeker and autonomous waypoint programming enable it to engage both fixed and moving targets, making it suitable for precision strikes against high‑value assets. The platform is fielded by the People’s Republic of China and classified under the “LM” taxonomy.
