GYBC UAV
GYBC UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Hunchun Guo-Yao-Bo-Cheng Technology Co., Ltd. (GYBC, 珲春国遥博诚科技有限公司). GYBC ventured into UAV business first by integrating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems from other manufacturers together into a complete system, and later developed its own UAV. some of which has entered service with local law enforcement, paramilitary and other governmental establishments in China.
HST-Engineering Troop
HST-Engineering Troop (Gong-Cheng-Bing or Gongchengbing, 工程兵) is a gasoline powered, fixed wing UAV developed by GYBC in conventional layout with mid wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose. Initially developed as a fire fighting scoute UAV, Engineering Troop adopts modular design concept for its propulsion so that different engines can be selected upon customer’s requirement. The UAV has since being deployed for other missions such as aerial surveillance and survey.[1] Specification:[2]
- Length (m): 2.2
- Wingspan (m): 2.65

- Payload capacity (L): 15
- Propulsion: 50 or 110 cc gasoline engine
- Ceiling (km): 5
- Endurance (h): 5
- Range (km): 550
- Speed (km/h): 90 – 110

HST-Fire Shadow Overseer
HST-Fire Shadow Overseer (Huo-Ying Jian-Cha-Zhe or Huoyingjianchazhe, 火影监察者) is a gasoline powered fixed wing UAV initially developed as an aerial tool for fire fighters to spot potential fire hazard on the ground. Externally, Fire Shadow Overseer looks almost identical to Boeing Insitu ScanEagle, and the only difference between the two UAVs is in winglets: the winglets of Fire Shadow Overseer point downward, as opposed to that of ScanEagle, whose winglets point upward.[3] Specification:[4]
- Length (m): 1.64
- Wingspan (m): 3.15
- Take-off weight (kg): 15 – 19
- Fuel (L): 6
- Payload capacity (L):
- Propulsion: 28 cc gasoline engine
- Ceiling (km): 5
- Endurance (h): 15 – 20
- Range (km): 1650 – 2200
- Speed (km/h): 100 – 130
- Launch: catapult
- Recovery: recovery net or parachute
HST-120 Fortification
HST-120 Fortification is a gasoline powered fixed wing UAV in twin boom layout with low wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. HST-120 Fortification adopts winglets and its twin tail are connected at the top, instead of middle or bottom, as in most UAV in twin boom layout. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. HST-120 Fortification is initially designed specially as an aerial communication relay station for UAV ground control stations to extend the control range of UAVs, and this is achieved by incorporating a large antenna array in the circular disk shaped radome installed below the fuselage.[5] The UAV can be deployed for other communication relay missions such as emergency aerial communication relay station immediately after disaster in disaster relief efforts. Specification:[6]
- Length (m): 4
- Wingspan (m): 7
- Empty weight (kg): 50
- Take-off weight (kg): 120
- Fuel (L): 75
- Payload capacity (L): 15
- Payload (kg): 70
- Propulsion: 50 – 100 cc gasoline engine
- Ceiling (km): 6.5
- Endurance (h): 8 – 30
- Range (km): 3000
- Launch: taxiing
- Recovery: taxiing
HST-Kangaroo
HST-Kangaroo is a fixed wing UAV in conventional layout with high wing configuration, T-tail and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose.[7]
- Rate of climb (m/s): 5
- Empty weight (kg): 18.5
- Take-off weight (kg): 35
