Abstract:

Global developments in military unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) in 2025 are examined. Technological progress across several categories,including collaborative combat aircraft(CCA), long-endurance reconnaissance/strike UAVs, tactical combat UAVs and special-mission UAVs, is reviewed, and developments in production and delivery, operational deployment, testing and evaluation, and system upgrades are summarized. Key technology trends in intelligent collaboration, energy and propulsion, advanced manufacturing, and mission payloads are further analyzed. It is found that autonomous and collaborative capabilities are being continuously enhanced, and cost-effectiveness in combat operations is being improved, and mission applications are becoming increasingly diversified, providing useful references for the future development of UAV technologies.
