Stealth drone aim of missile designer

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the nation's largest missile-maker, has begun to develop military drones that can evade radar and anti-aircraft weapons.

The company is focusing on the development of a long-endurance stealth drone and a near-space drone, said Wei Yiyin, CASIC deputy general manager and a member of the CPPCC National Committee.

It's all part of CASIC's determination to become a world-class provider of unmanned aircraft and related services, Wei told China Daily.
