Chinese company Shengying Technology has begun mass production of a new interceptor drone called the H-07.
According to Shengying Technology, the interceptor is designed to engage fixed-wing targets, delta-wing aircraft and multirotor UAVs.
The drone has a 7-inch frame and can be launched from the ground or from a handheld launcher. It can reach a maximum speed of 320 km/h.
Its cruising speed is 100-200 km/h, its stated battery endurance is up to 10 minutes, and its flight range is up to 15 km.
The drone can operate at altitudes of 50 to 2,000 meters and carry up to 300 grams of payload.
The H-07 uses the YOLO machine-vision tracking algorithm to detect and track targets. The minimum target image size for recognition is 50×50 pixels.
The developer specifies the target lock-on range using two parameters:
- 300 meters for “ground-to-air”;
- 200 meters for “air-to-air.”
During flight, the H-07 uses three separate cooling methods: a fan to cool the electronic speed controller, special ventilation openings, and a cooling system for the video transmitter.
The company has not yet disclosed information about the price or customers, nor has it confirmed any sales, testing or deployment of the H-07 by military or government customers.
On September 3, the United States and China resumed military contacts between military commanders after a two-year hiatus.
