Flexible Payload Capacity: Adaptable payload range (10-30kg) allows customization for specific mission needs, from heavier sensors to various munition types.
Long Endurance & Range: Capable of loitering for up to 6 hours or striking targets over 500km away, providing persistent threat presence.
Rapid Deployment: Catapult launch system allows for quick operational readiness in diverse environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of payload can the GX101R carry?
The GX101R can carry a versatile payload ranging from 10 to 30 kilograms. This allows for integration of various sensors for ISR missions or different types of warheads for precision strike capabilities, depending on operational requirements.
How is the GX101R launched and recovered?
The GX101R low-cost loitering munition is designed for catapult assisted takeoff. This enables rapid deployment from various locations. As a loitering munition designed for one-way strike missions, recovery is typically not part of the operational profile.
What is the effective operational radius of the GX101R?
With a standard seeker payload, the effective radius is 100km. However, using an integrated data link system, the operational radius for command, control, and data transmission can be extended up to 100-200km, allowing for engagement of targets further from the launch point.
