China's Civil Tonne-Class Unmanned Aircraft System Secures First Overseas Orders

SHIHEZI,China,Sept. 2, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- OnAugust 29, 2025, the second Low-Altitude Industry Innovation and Development Conference was successfully held in Shihezi City, Xinjiang,China. During the conference,China'sUrsa Aeronautical Technology Co., Ltd. ("Ursa") reached a procurement agreement withIndonesia'sPT Unmanned Airtransport Indonesia for 20 sets of HY100 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs). Additionally, the company signed a procurement agreement with the government of the Republic ofEquatorial Guineafor 10 sets of the systems, and established strategic service partnerships withKazakhstanin various fields, including logistics, agricultural and forestry plant protection, and tourism development. This marks the official entry ofChina'slarge civil UASs into the international market, providing advanced low-altitude intelligent solutions for countries along the"Belt and Road"initiative.

Ursa will offer comprehensive technical training and support to its partners, including flight operations and maintenance, to facilitate the development of localized operational capabilities. Mr. Agung Sasongkojati, CEO of PT Unmanned Airtransport Indonesia, stated in an interview with CCTV:"Chinaleads in the field of UAS cargo transportation. I want to bring this technology toIndonesiabecause it can carry large volumes of goods, transport nearly two tonnes of cargo across the sea, and reach areas where conventionalaircraft cannot fly."

This collaboration will deliver tangible value toChinaand countries along the"Belt and Road"initiative. The Hongyan HY100 UAS exhibits outstanding performance, with a maximum takeoff weight of 5,250 kg, a maximum commercial payload of 1,900 kg, and a maximum range of 1,800 kilometers. The HY100 aircraft requires a takeoff and landing rolling distance of less than 150 meters, and can maintain stable flight at ultra-low altitudes of 4 meters above ground, and adapts to various takeoff and landing field conditions, including airstrip, roads, open hard soil, and grassland, demonstrating excellent field adaptability and mission flexibility.

The system can effectively address logistics challenges between islands and in complex terrains. Its large payload and long-range capabilities enable the rapid transport of medical supplies, e-commerce parcels, fresh food, and other goods between islands, significantly reducing logistics costs and time and contributing to the establishment of an efficient regional logistics network. Simultaneously, it will play a vital role in agricultural and forestry monitoring, crop protection, and forest resource conservation.

Ursa was established inNovember 2017and is a national high-tech enterprise integrating R& D, production, sales and marketing, operation and service support, maintenance, and personneltrainingof largeUASs. AsChina'sfirst and only largeUAS general aviation enterprise to obtain all of the Type Certificate (TC), Production Certificate (PC), Airworthiness Certificate (AC), and Operation Certificate (OC) issued by the Civil Aviation Administration ofChina(CAAC), Ursa has become a benchmark for industry compliance and technical strength. Its proprietary Hongyan HY100 large UAS is the only large UAS product inChinathat has achieved mass production and commercial operation, representing the highest standard inChina'scivil large UAS sector.
