CASM CK-GY04 UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Beijing Ceke Spatial Info-tech Co., Ltd. (北京测科空间信息技术有限公司) of Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping (CASM, 中国测绘科学研究院), and many of which have entered service with Chinese law enforcement and governmental establishments. CK = Ce Ke (测科), a Chinese abbreviation of Ce-Hui Ke-Xue (测绘科学), which means Surveying and Mapping Science.

CK-GY04 CHY
CK-GY-04 CHY is a development of CK-GY-04 Survey Eagle with slightly smaller size, but the UAV is constructed more advanced composite material instead of fiberglass used earlier in CK-GY-04 Survey Eagle. The utilization of advanced honeycomb composite material reduces weight and extends the endurance by more than double the original endurance of CK-GY04 Survey Eagle, and achieved the same normal operating radius with eighty percent of the fuel originally needed. Specification:[3]
- Length (m): 1.8
- Wingspan (m): 2.8
