China's Poly Defence exhibited its indigenously developed fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) multirole autonomous XC-150 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at IDEX 2023 in Abu Dhabi.

The XC-150 is a tactical UAV designed to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and strike missions. The UAV can take off and land with the help of three fixed landing legs at a maximum altitude of 4,000 m, in what a company official described as “strong breeze conditions”, and it can cruise in level flight in “gale conditions”. The UAV requires a take-off and landing clearance of 8×10 m, and can be deployed in 30 minutes.

Speaking to Janes , a Poly Defence official said, “The development of the UAV started a few years ago primarily to support ISR missions, and the armed capability is yet to be worked on.”
