Development and prospect of anti-radiation unmanned aerial vehicles
Radar and communication are the"clairwise eyes"and"wind ears"on the battlefield,which play a very im-portant role in modern information war.Anti-radiation unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)is a weapon system that can suppress and destroy radar and communication targets for a long time,and is an indispensable electronic warfare"hard kill"weapon equipment in war.This article provides an overview of the development,key technologies,and prospects of anti-radiation drones.Firstly,the definition and characteristics of the anti-radiation UAV,and the dif-ferences between anti-radiation drones and anti-radiation missiles are provided.Then,the development history and research progress of anti-radiation drones are introduced,and the key technologies for the development of anti-radi-ation drone equipment are summarized.Finally,the future development trends of anti-radiation drones are dis-cussed.
