Aisheng ASN-206/207 Reconnaissance UAV

Vista general

The ASN-206 is a lightweight, short-range, tactical multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) developed by Xi'an ASN Technology Group Company, a commercial company owned by Northwest Polytechnic University (NPU). The ASN-206 can be used for day/night aerial reconnaissance, electronic warfare and countermeasures (EW/ECM), battlefield surveillance, target positioning, artillery spotting, border patrol, nuclear radiation sampling, aerial photography and prospecting, and electronic countermeasures. It is one of the most popular and advanced tactical UAV systems fielded by the PLA. The development of the ASN-206 completed in December 1994 and the serial production began in 1996. Winner of the 1996 Chinese National Award for Technology Improvement, the ASN-206 was reportedly developed under the assistance of Tadiran Spectralink Ltd, a Israeli company specialising in the airborne communications and electronic countermeasures (ECM) systems, but this cannot be confirmed. A versatile aerial platform, the ASN-206 could be fitted with various mission payloads according to the requirements. The most significant improvement on the ASN-206 is its real-time datalink, which transfers video images to the ground control without any delay, while older-generation UAVs have to be recovered before the photo intelligence can be retreated. The UAV is being widely used by the PLA for various tactical roles. The ASN-206 uses a tail-pushed, twin-tail braced design. The advantage of this layout is that the propeller driven by the tail-mounted engine would not disturb the sight of reconnaissance system The ASN-206 can be configured with regular or infrared cameras or television seekers which would give the system a near-real-time capability. Some reports indicated that the electro-optical observation package on the ASN-206 was derived from an observation device purchased from Israel's Tadiran Ltd. The navigation systems of the UAV incorporates GPS and radio command.
