ZJ-100 is a very little known Chinese UAV that made its public debut in November 2014 at the 10th Zhuhai Airshow.[1] ZJ is the Pinyin abbreviation of Zhou Ji (洲际) meaning Intercontinental in Chinese.
ZJ-100 has a cylindrical fuselage with a conical nose. There are four control surfaces mounted at the empennage. The UAV has been referred to by many Chinese internet sources as ZJ-100 long range missile, but the actual name on the UAV clearly states that it is an UAV instead, though it can certainly be converted to a missile by installing a warhead. The official name on ZJ-100 UAV at the airshow is ZJ-100 High Speed Rocket Drone.[1] The UAV presumably is used to simulate missiles for air defense systems, though it can also be used as other missions such as reconnaissance when different payload is carried.
