Aisheng ASN-9

ASN-9 UAV and its derivative and follow-ons are Chinese UAVs developed by Xi'an Aisheng Technology Group Co., Ltd (西安爱生技术集团公司) ASN Technology Group Co., Ltd (西安爱生技术集团公司), also known as Northwestern Polytechnical University UAV Research Institute or 365th Institute , established in 1984.

ASN-9

ASN-9 is a fixed wing UAV with conventional layout in high wing configuration, and it is a development of Ba-9, with incorporation of barometric altimeter in 1995 to enable it to fly as low as 75 ft above sea level.[1]

  • Wingspan (m): 2.82
  • Tailplane span (m): 1.24
  • Length (m): 2.52
  • Fuselage width (m): 0.24
  • Height (m): 0.72
  • Weight (kg): 55
  • Fuel (kg): 8
  • Max speed (km/hr): 250
  • Ceiling (km): 4
  • Remote control range (km): 15
  • Endurance (min): 45 – 60

Drone-9

Ba-9 (靶-9, meaning Drone-9, B9 for short) is the predecessor of ASN-9, and it is mainly developed for maritime operations. The drone is in conventional layout with high wing configuration, and propulsion is provided by a two-blade fixed pitchwooden propeller driven two stroke flat-twin piston engine. The drone is launched by catapult and recovered by parachute, and the payload includes two towed targets deployed sequentially. Specification:[2]

  • Length (m): 2.5
  • Wingspan (m): 2.82
  • Height (m): 0.72
  • Endurance (min ): 40 – 60
  • Max speed (km/hr): 250

ASN-101

ASN-101 is a fixed wing UAV with conventional layout in high wing configuration and is intended as a successor of earlier ASN-9.[3]

ASN-109

ASN-109 is a fixed wing UAV with conventional layout in high wing configuration and is intended as a successor of earlier ASN-101.[3]

ASN-215

ASN-215 is a fixed wing UAV with conventional layout in high wing configuration, and it is the largest member of ASN-9/101/109 series (as of 2014). The weight of ASN-215 is approximately twice that of ASN-9, and it is an enlarged version of ASN-9, thus sharing identical layout. ASN-215 is intended for reconnaissance, battlefield assessment, and artillery spotting missions for military applications, and aerial survey, disaster assessment and weather reconnaissance for civilian applications.[4]
