<div class="field-body">
The Sky Saker H300, seen here in Dubai, is China's first 
helicopter UCAV. Being cheaper and easier to use then larger UCAVs like 
the Reaper and CH-4, it could become a battalion and company level UCAV 
for on demand air strikes.</div>
<br />
<div class="in-content-skip">
Unveiled at the International Exhibition of 
National Security and Resilience in Dubai, NORINCO's Sky Saker is a 
coaxial rotor, 100-200kg helicopter UCAV.  T</div>
<div class="in-content-skip">
he Sky Saker H300's cameras 
include electro-optical and infrared systems, along with laser target 
designators. In addition to surveillance and fire control, the Sky Saker
 H300 can provide midcourse corrections for guided munitions launched by
 other platforms, such as cruise missiles from H-6K bombers or shells 
fired from PLZ-05 howitzers. </div>
<div class="in-content-skip">
 The Sky Saker H300's ground control 
station is likely to be networked to a wider array of Chinese military 
systems for integrated fire effect, which would make it not only a 
valuable asset for counterinsurgency and urban combat, but also for 
wider missions like hunting enemy small ships (such as the Taiwanese Tuo
 stealth boat) or electronic warfare vehicles.</div>

TL-2 Missile</div>
<div class="field-body">
NORINCO offers this 16 kg, 6km range TL-2 guided missile for use 
on small UAVs, such as the Sky Saker 300. Small attack missiles, like 
the TL-2 and Northrup Grumman Viper Strike, will arm small tactical 
level UAVs to provide company and battalion units with their own organic
 air attack assets.<br />
<br />
 The Sky Saker has two missile 
launch tubes mounted on the fuselage sides; given that those missiles 
are "fire and forget", they are likely a version of the HJ-10 anti-tank 
missiles, which already arms the Z-10 attack helicopters, or even 
smaller 16kg TL-2 missiles. <br />

This Ewatt Technology SVU-200 robot helicopter (designed by the 
American Fetters Aerospace) can carry 200 kg of payload while traveling 
at 209km per hour in the sky.  What's even more amazing is that it was 
displayed in Washington DC during a 2013 drone exhibition. Along with 
other Chinese drone helicopters such as the NORINCO Sharp Eyes III, 
they'll become the flexible eyes (and striking fist) of small military 
units. <i>Popular Science</i><br />
