Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Type 9 Tactical Loitering UAV System?

The Type 9 Tactical Loitering UAV System is a compact fixed-wing UAV platform designed for professional defense, reconnaissance, surveillance, and field operation applications. It features a lightweight airframe, efficient fixed-wing flight performance, and a mission-ready configuration for B2B customers who need a tactical UAV solution. With a control radius of up to 150 km, a maximum speed of 60 m/s, and a maximum mission payload of 2.5 kg, it is well suited for organizations requiring a reliable tactical fixed-wing UAV platform for professional operations.

What category does the Type 9 UAV belong to?

The Type 9 belongs to the Defense & Tactical UAVs category, with a more specific positioning in loitering UAV systems and fixed-wing tactical UAV applications. Unlike multirotor drones, the Type 9 uses a fixed-wing aerodynamic design, which provides higher flight efficiency, faster cruising speed, and stronger long-distance operation capability for reconnaissance, surveillance, and extended field missions.

What are the main applications of the Type 9 Tactical Loitering UAV?

The Type 9 Tactical Loitering UAV System is designed for professional B2B and defense-related scenarios, including tactical reconnaissance, area surveillance, perimeter monitoring, border observation, field operation support, security patrol, and multi-UAV coordinated missions. It is especially suitable for customers who need a fixed-wing UAV system with longer control distance, fast deployment, flexible mission payload options, and reliable performance in field environments.

What are the key performance specifications of the Type 9 UAV?

The Type 9 UAV has a fuselage length of 1.9 m and a wingspan of 1.8 m. Its flight speed range is 45-60 m/s, with a maximum level speed of 60 m/s. It supports a flight altitude range of 20-2000 m above sea level, a maximum launch altitude of 4000 m above sea level, and an instantaneous maneuvering load of 6 G. The maximum takeoff weight is 12 kg, and the maximum mission payload is 2.5 kg. These specifications make it a compact but capable tactical fixed-wing UAV for defense, reconnaissance, and surveillance operations.

What is the endurance and control radius of the Type 9 UAV?

The Type 9 Tactical Loitering UAV System provides an endurance of under 60 minutes, depending on payload weight, flight speed, altitude, weather conditions, and mission profile. Its control radius can reach up to 150 km, depending on communication configuration, ground control setup, terrain conditions, and operational environment. This long-range control capability supports extended-area reconnaissance, tactical surveillance, and field operation support.

Does the Type 9 UAV support payload customization?

Yes. The Type 9 supports payload customization within the 2.5 kg maximum mission payload limit. Depending on project requirements, the platform can be configured with mission modules, communication equipment, tracking devices, sensor systems, or other customer-specific payload interfaces. For B2B projects, we recommend confirming payload type, weight, operating scenario, and integration requirements before quotation.

Does the Type 9 UAV support multi-aircraft or swarm operation?

Yes. The Type 9 Tactical Loitering UAV System supports up to 6-aircraft coordinated operation, depending on ground control architecture, communication configuration, and mission management setup. This capability is valuable for wider area coverage, coordinated reconnaissance, multi-point observation, and flexible UAV fleet deployment in professional operations.

What trade terms do you support for international orders?

For international B2B orders, standard trade terms are FOB and CIF. FOB means the buyer arranges international freight after delivery to the agreed port of shipment, while CIF includes freight and insurance arranged to the agreed destination port. DDP, DAP, EXW, and door-to-door delivery are not included in the standard scope and can be discussed case by case for specific projects. For accurate quotation, please provide destination port, order quantity, required configuration, and customization requirements.
