Description

The SU-H2M Chinese Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is capable of hovering and operating in wind speeds of up to 33 knots (61 km/h or 38 mph) and requires a take-off and landing area of 8×8 meters (26×26 feet). This UAV is particularly suited for maritime or naval applications. Its operational temperature range is from -20°C to +40°C. The SU-H2M features a faceted fuselage that houses the UAV's powerplant, ventral payload bay, avionics, and fuel tank. It is equipped with a twin skid undercarriage with wheels located at the front. The design includes a two-bladed main rotor with an opposing balancing surface, as well as a tailboom that ends with dorsal and ventral stabilizing fins and a two-bladed tail rotor mounted on the starboard side. The main rotor is constructed from carbon fiber composite material, while the tail rotor is made from aluminum alloy. Additionally, a water tank is positioned towards the forward section of the fuselage.

Mission Payloads SU-H2M payload comprises an electro-optic (EO) imaging sensor and multispectral camera mounted in a ventral payload bay.
Guidance and Control SU-H2M guidance and control features include automatic take-off and landing, an automatic hover mode, and semi-autonomous route planning using user-defined waypoints. The controller of the UAV can be eight channels and above. The GPS is attached dorsally at the mid-section of tailboom. The controller receiver has a nine-channel 2.4 GHz frequency hopping mode at 0.4 W within 200 m. It additionally uses a GY520 gyroscope.
Launch Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) requiring an area of 8×8 m.
Recovery VTOL requiring an area of 8×8 m with parachute emergency fault safety system provision to arrest the UAV's descent in the case of a catastrophic loss of control and/or propulsion.
