| Combat use |
|
One SH-1 UAV combat unit consists of a UAV with reconnaissance equipment, ground support system including ground control station, launch vehicle and support vehicle and depot support equipment. The ground control station can be used to control two SH-1 UAVs simultaneously, providing measurement and control, mission planning, communication, power supply and image processing functions. The support vehicle can transport three SH-1 UAVs and related spare accessories. It can also be used as UAV hoister. The SH-1 UAV system is mainly used for tactical aerial reconnaissance and battlefield surveillance through photogrammetry. The images taken on targets are transmitted to ground in real time via data link system and then processed at ground to output relevant information of the target area. The system can also be widely used for communications or/and data relay, electronic and information warfare, combat safety analysis report, battle management, disaster investigation, environment monitoring, geological prospecting, mine detection, digital mapping, etc. depending on the different payload. The missions can last four to six hours depending on the payload (average 30 kilograms).
