XMU UAVs are Chinese experimental UAVs developed by School of Physics and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (SPMEE) of Xiamen University (XMU).
Heron Island Reconnoiter
Heron Island Reconnoiter (Lu-Dao Zhen-Cha-Bing, 鹭岛侦察兵) is a very little known Chinese experimental UAV developed by SPMEE of XMU, and its existence was revealed in September 2011 during the first AVIC Cup UAV competition held in Beijing when it was invited to perform a demonstration flight along with the other little known UAV Hornet, which is also developed by XMU, despite for not receiving any reward.[1]
Hornet
Hornet (Huang-Feng or Huangfeng, 黄蜂) is a very little known Chinese experimental UAV developed by SPMEE of XMU, and its existence was revealed in September 2011 during the first AVIC Cup UAV competition held in Beijing when it was invited to perform a demonstration flight along with the other little known UAV Heron Island Reconnoiter, which is also developed by XMU, despite for not receiving any reward.[1]
Ocean surveillance UAV
Ocean surveillance UAV is an unmanned helicopter developed by XMU in conventional helicopter layout with landing gear consists of a pair of skids. Designed to perform ocean surveillance missions, the UAV can carry a variety of equipment. Development cost is over ¥ 300,000 and the general designer is Mr. Sun Zhen-Yu (孙振宇). Specification:[2]
- Ceiling (km): 2
- Speed (km/hr): 110
- Endurance (hr): 1
Southern Strong
Southern Strong (Nang-Qiang or Nanqiang, 南强号) is a Chinese experimental UAV developed by XMU to explore knowledges of carrier landing. Southern Strong UAV has entered the first AVIC Cup UAV competition held in Beijing in September 2011, and it won a third place reward.[1] Among Chinese experimental UAVs that explore the feasibility of carrier landing, Southern Strong UAV took the most aggressive approach by adopting completely autonomous landing.[3] Specification:[4]
- Landing speed: 15 m/s
- Landing approach descend: 1 m/s
