Development and prospect of anti-radiation unmanned aerial vehicles

Radar and communication are the "clairwise eyes" and "wind ears" on the battlefield，which play a very im portant role in modern information war. Anti-radiation unmanned aerial vehicle（UAV）is a weapon system that can suppress and destroy radar and communication targets for a long time，and is an indispensable electronic warfare "hard kill" weapon equipment in war. This article provides an overview of the development，key technologies，and prospects of anti-radiation drones. Firstly，the definition and characteristics of the anti-radiation UAV，and the differences between anti-radiation drones and anti-radiation missiles are provided. Then，the development history and research progress of anti-radiation drones are introduced，and the key technologies for the development of anti-radiation drone equipment are summarized. Finally，the future development trends of anti-radiation drones are discussed.
