Wayulink UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Shenzhen Wayulink Technology Co., Ltd (Wayulink, 深圳华越力合科技有限公司), and they are used for aerial surveillance missions.
Quadcopter
Originally a major subsystem provider of other Chinese UAV developers, Wayulink begin to expand its business to the UAVs by developing UAVs of its own. Such business development is root in the fact that as a high definition optical payload provider, Wayulink discovered that many Chinese UAVs currently on the market is either too small or not stable enough to carry the latest optical payload developed by Wayulink. As a result, Wayulink developed its own UAVs and one of the UAV developed is a quadcopter. Wayulink quadcopter made its public debut in Beijing at the 12th China International Exhibition on Public Safety and Security 2014 (Security China 2014) held at China International Exhibition Center at the end of October, 2014.[1]
Unmanned helicopter
In addition to the quadcopter developed, Wayulink also developed an unmanned helicopter to carry its optical payload. Externally, the unmanned helicopter developed by Wayulink appears to be utilizing commercial off-the-shelf subsystems and integrated into on final product, and the unmanned helicopter is in conventional layout with a pair of skids as landing gear.[1] Along with its cousin, the quadcopter developed by the same firm, Wayulink made its public debut in Beijing at the 12th China International Exhibition on Public Safety and Security 2014 (Security China 2014) held at China International Exhibition Center at the end of October, 2014.[1]
