The CH-4 UAV is specifically designed for high-altitude missions over land and sea, and can fire its weapon from up to 5,000 meters. The CH-4 UAV also “has a retractable electro-optical sensor turret, and a datalink back to the ground control station. The CH-4 UAV also boasts a modern, two person control station to fly the drone remotely, with provisions for both line of sight and satellite communications.
There are two versions, the CH-4A and CH-4B. The CH-4A is a reconnaissance drone (capable of a 3500–5000 km range and a 30- to 40-hour endurance) while the CH-4B is a mixed attack and reconnaissance system with provisions for 6 weapons and a payload of up to 250 to 345 kg.
CH-4 Drone is capable of firing air-to-ground missile from altitude of 5,000 meters (~16,400 feet), therefore the aircraft can stay outside of effective range of most anti-aircraft guns. It also allows CH-4 UAVto be able to fire from a position that provides wider viewing area.
