GJ-3A makes its public debutThe main highlight of the footage is the GJ-3A, a model that had not previously been publicly presented under this designation. Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Chinese magazine Aerospace Knowledge, described the GJ-3A to the Global Times as a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV. Different roles within the same networkWhile the GJ-3A is classified as a medium-altitude, long-endurance platform, the WZ-10 and WZ-7 occupy a different segment within China’s unmanned aircraft structure. Evolution of the GJ familyThe new model also represents an evolution over armed drones previously unveiled by the Chinese Air Force. The expert says data can now be integrated into open-architecture systems capable of combining information collected in the field with the availability of sensors, aircraft and other resources.
