China's Drone Army
2015.5.11
The Pentagon¡¯s latest Chinese Military Power report says ¡°China plans to produce
upwards of 41,800 land- and sea-based unmanned systems, worth about $10.5 billion,
between 2014 and 2023,¡± including armed and stealthy unmanned aircraft.
¡°It¡¯s not like the sky is falling, but it would suggest a future where China will have better
situational awareness over its surrounding regions,¡± said Paul Scharre, director of the
future-looking 20YY Warfare Initiative at Center for a New American Security
$10.5 billion for 42,000 drones would mean $250,000 apiece, CNAS research associate
Kelly Sayler noted, ¡°roughly comparable to the cost of a hand-launched RQ-11 Raven system.
You still fall short of the $5 million cost of a mid-tier armed drone like the Army¡¯s MQ-1C Grey Eagle.¡±
They don't even necessarily need communications satellites. China doesn't have to project power
around the globe like we do in places like Afghanistan, they're looking to project power locally.
— over the Senkaku Islands, say, or the Scarborough Shoal, or the Himalayas — so they may be
able to do with line-of-sight [radio] networks and relay networks using other drones.
