China has unveiled a mosquito-sized unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), garnering global attention for its breakthrough miniaturization and stealth capabilities. Developed by the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), this micro-aircraft replicates both the appearance and flight patterns of real mosquitoes with remarkable fidelity.
Technical Specifications
- Dimensions: Body length 1–2 cm / Wingspan 3 cm
- Weight: 0.3 grams
- Structure: Foliate wings, slender black airframe, and ultrafine legs enabling near-perfect biomimicry
- Flight Performance: Wingbeat frequency up to 500 Hz, facilitating silent irregular flight to evade visual/acoustic detection
- Stealth Characteristics: Non-metallic lightweight materials coupled with sub-centimeter scale reduce radar cross-section (RCS) below standard surveillance thresholds
Operational Capabilities
- The prototype integrates:
- Ultra-compact cameras, microphones, and multispectral sensors for visual/audio/electronic signal acquisition
- Smartphone-controlled operation demonstrated in lab environments, including precision perching on human skin or fingertips
Deployment Scenarios
1.Military Reconnaissance
- Conducts silent battlefield infiltration with real-time HD video transmission
- Enables granular surveillance of high-value targets to inform precision strike planning
2.Agricultural Monitoring
- Patrols crop canopies for early pest/disease identification
- Supports targeted pesticide application to safeguard yields
3.Search and Rescue Operations
- Navigates complex disaster zones to pinpoint survivor locations
- Transmits georeferenced distress signals to command centers, accelerating response times
