Falcon-1800DH Chinese Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

The Falcon-1800DH is a Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can be made operational from a packed state in just 30 minutes. It features a modular design, allowing assembly in the field without special tools, which can be accomplished by a crew of four in approximately 15 minutes. This UAV has a composite fuselage and shoulder-mounted, high-aspect-ratio tapered wings equipped with winglets. It also features twin tailbooms that extend from the inner wing sections, culminating in an inverted ‘V-tail.’ The Falcon-1800DH is designed with a tricycle landing gear arrangement, consisting of a retractable nose wheel and a fixed main undercarriage with wheel spats. Additionally, the UAV is equipped with four external hardpoints under its wings—two on each side—for carrying sensors and armament. A single Falcon-1800DH can be transported in a 20-foot general-purpose container.
