The ASN-206 is a lightweight, short-range, tactical multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) developed by Xi'an ASN Technology Group Company, a commercial company owned by Northwest Polytechnic University (NPU). The ASN-206 can be used for day/night aerial reconnaissance, electronic warfare and countermeasures (EW/ECM), battlefield surveillance, target positioning, artillery spotting, border patrol, nuclear radiation sampling, aerial photography and prospecting, and electronic countermeasures. It is one of the most popular and advanced tactical UAV systems fielded by the PLA.

ASN-206型是由西安爱生技术集团公司发展的一种轻型、近程战术多用途无人机（UAV），一家由西北理工大学（NPU）成立的商业公司。ASN-206型能用于昼/夜空中侦察、电子战和对策（EW/ECM）、战场监视、目标定位、火炮（落弹）观测、边境巡逻、核辐射取样、航空摄影和探矿、电子对抗。它是被PLA装备的一种最广泛和先进的战术UAV系统。

Programme

The development of the ASN-206 completed in December 1994 and the serial production began in 1996. Winner of the 1996 Chinese National Award for Technology Improvement, the ASN-206 was reportedly developed under the assistance of Tadiran Spectralink Ltd, a Israeli company specialising in the airborne communications and electronic countermeasures (ECM) systems, but this cannot be confirmed.

计划

ASN-206型的发展在1994年12月完成，而且批量制造从1996年开始。1996年成功获得中国国家科技进步一等奖，ASN-206型根据传闻在塔迪兰光谱链路公司（Tadiran Spectralink）的协助之下发展，一家专门研究航空通信和电子对策（ECM）系统的以色列公司，但是这不能够被证实。

A versatile aerial platform, the ASN-206 could be fitted with various mission payloads according to the requirements. The most significant improvement on the ASN-206 is its real-time datalink, which transfers video images to the ground control without any delay, while older-generation UAVs have to be recovered before the photo intelligence can be retreated. The UAV is being widely used by the PLA for various tactical roles.

ASN-206型是一种多功能空中平台，能依照需求配备各种不同的任务负载。在ASN-206型上最重要改良是它的实时数据链，无延时传输视频图像到地面控制站，上一代UAV必须被回收后才能获得图片情报。UAV广泛被PLA用于各种不同的战术任务。

The ASN-206 uses a tail-pushed, twin-tail braced design. The advantage of this layout is that the propeller driven by the tail-mounted engine would not disturb the sight of reconnaissance system.

ASN-206型采用尾推进、双尾撑设计。这一个布局好处是螺旋桨被尾部安装发动机驱动将不妨碍侦察系统观测。

The ASN-206 can be configured with regular or infrared cameras or television seekers which would give the system a near-real-time capability. Some reports indicated that the electro-optical observation package on the ASN-206 was derived from an observation device purchased from Israel's Tadiran Ltd. The navigation systems of the UAV incorporates gps and radio command.

ASN-206型能配置普通或红外照相机或电视搜索头将提供系统一种接近实时能力。一些报告认为ASN-206型上的光电观测组件来源于从以色列塔迪兰（Tadiran）有限公司购买的观测装置。UAV导航系统包括GPS和无线电指令。

The UAV is controlled by a digital flight control and management system, and is connected with the ground station through its intergrade radio system and advanced mission control system. The video data from the optical/infrared cameras are transmitted to the ground station in real time.

UAV经数字式飞行控制和管理系统控制，而且通过集成无线电系统和先进任务控制系统与地面站连接。来自光学/红外照相机的视频数据实时传输到地面站。
