The BZK -005 high-altitude, long-range UAV is a reco
nnaissance aircraft designed by Beijing University of Aero
nautics & Astro
nautics and Harbin Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. It is used by the Chinese Navy. BZK-005E drone is independently developed by Beihang UAS Technology Co., Ltd which targets in both domestic and foreign market. The flight co
ntrol system of the UAV is highly auto
nomous even capable of take-off and landing on plateau, With anti-corrosion (salt, wet, fog) design, it can perform operations on the plateau, the ocean and the desert, realize all-day and all-weather task deployment. The platform of the UAV is highly integrated, it can realize the function of SAR radar, EO, communication and radar reconnaissance, and communication relay. Its modular design enables rapid replacement of different payloads. The endurance of the UAV is over 40h with ceiling of 8000m, the take-off weight of 1500kg, and external payload of 370kg. The first BZK-005E drone is assembled in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, Nov 13th, 2017.All flight tests have been successfully completed so far.
The Beijing-ba
sed Beihang Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Technology is now seeking the first internatio
nal order for its export-specific BZK-005E multirole medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (MALE UAV), following the successful grant of an export licence for the air vehicle earlier in September.
The BZK-005E is a modernised derivative of the indigenously developed BZK-005 platform – also known as the Changying (Long Eagle) – in widespread use across the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) air, land, and sea services for long-range reco
nnaissance and electro
nic intelligence (ELINT) missions, made its public debut at the latest iteration of Airshow China in Zhuhai from 6–11 November.Wingspan 18m
