According to the China Aerospace Aerodynamics Research Institute affiliated to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group of the Rainbow UAV Research Unit, “Rainbow-4†is a large-scale multi-function long-endurance UAV system that can perform battlefield surveillance and information collection. Missions such as communication relays, which also have reconnaissance and strike capability, can be equipped with light-guided weapons, perform military operations such as anti-terrorism operations and no-fly zone patrols, and achieve precise strikes against fixed targets on the ground and low-speed moving targets.
