The FH-95 is a high-performance, medium-range, multi-mission unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system designed to deliver integrated reconnaissance, precision strike, electronic warfare (EW), and battlefield communications support for modern joint forces. With a maximum endurance of 20 hours, a range of 1,500 km, and a payload capacity exceeding 370 kg, the FH-95 serves as a versatile aerial node capable of operating deep behind enemy lines in contested environments.
Featuring a robust twin-boom, pusher-propeller design with a V-tail configuration, the FH-95 combines long loiter time, all-weather reliability, and modular mission flexibility. It supports both intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions and armed strike operations, making it ideal for counter-insurgency (COIN), border security, maritime patrol, and expeditionary warfare.
Equipped with advanced datalinks, AI-assisted target recognition, and network-centric warfare capabilities, the FH-95 seamlessly integrates into existing C4I architectures, acting as a force multiplier across land, sea, and air domains.
