Some time ago, an online article said that the domestic "Rainbow" series of drones are completely targeted at the foreign trade market, mainly based on foreign military demand, but they are not designed completely in accordance with my country's "National Military Standard" standard (referred to as "GJB").
is actually a fallacy!
Picture: The "Rainbow" series of drones has become a well-known brand in the field of drones in China.
"Rainbow" drone not only fully complies with the standards of the "national military standard" at the beginning of its design, but also passed the baptism of many years of high-intensity practical combat outside the region. Its high attendance rate, high maintenance, high security, high combat effectiveness, etc. have been highly praised by foreign troops. Even the US attack drone unit that operates in Middle East also expressed recognition for similar aircraft from China.
According to previous reports, for example, the Rainbow-4 drone commonly purchased by foreign troops, one of which has a single aircraft that has a flight hours of more than 1,000 hours per year; two Rainbow-3 drone were doing aviation geophysical exploration in an African country, one main flight and the other was backed up, and it flew more than 800 hours in 72 flight days.
These safe flight records have long exceeded the general national military standard design standards.

In fact, the "Rainbow" series of drones is a huge family, ranging from Rainbow-802 single-handed drone to Rainbow-7 large flying wing stealth unmanned bomber. It is currently the most complete domestic drone family of models. Since 2003, the "Rainbow" drones have been exported to more than 10 countries, basically covering Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, East Africa , Central Africa , North Africa , West Africa and other countries, covering the entire "Belt and Road" line, with nearly 100 drones (sets) delivered in total, plus other export products, exports earn nearly 1 billion US dollars.
not only exports to overseas markets in large quantities, but also many "rainbow" drone models are equipped with our army and are used in the civilian field. Therefore, it is actually ridiculous to say that the "Rainbow" drone was not designed and accepted and approved according to the "National Military Standard".

Speaking of the "National Military Standard" (referred to as "GJB"), this is actually a complete set of standard documents for the production of military products. With the deepening of the military-civilian integration strategy, the GJB standard is no longer a secret that only military-industrial enterprises can grasp, but a public design and construction standard in the industry.
, especially the GJB standard in the field of drones, has basically become a normative standard for the design and manufacturing of military and civilian drones in China. That is to say, even if it is the civilian drone , which is used to build quadrotor , many manufacturers follow the GJB standard.
Picture: The Ministry of Public Security Inspection Center conducted high-temperature and low-temperature storage tests on a civilian quadrotor drone in accordance with GJB standards.
For example, the public security organ responsible for the management of civilian drones, its Ministry of Public Security Testing Center is the first quality inspection agency in China to obtain CNAS qualification for the field of drones. The center's inspection is carried out in accordance with the standards of GJB 5433-2005 "H UAV System General Requirements", GJB 5434-2005 "UAV System Flight Test General Requirements", GJB 4108-2000 "Military Small UAV System Force Test Regulations" and other standards.
means that if you want to pass the audit and certification of civilian drones, the design must also be done in accordance with the GJB standard. Therefore, it is completely unimaginable that the huge military drone family such as "Rainbow" does not design according to the GJB standard.
Picture: The GJB standard has 43 standards for the field of drones, while the first edition of the standard has only 17. The
GJB standard itself is also a development process.
For example, when formulating the first version of the GJB drone special standards, there were only 17 standards including GJB2347-1995 "Universal Code for UAV", GJB3060-1997 "Universal Code for UAV Electrical Systems", GJB5433-2005 "Universal Requirements for UAV Systems", GJB5434-2005 "Universal Requirements for UAV System Flight Tests" and GJB5435-2005 "Universal Strength and Stiffness Specifications".Now, the new version of 43 standards can be easily found online.
This shows that the GJB standard has been continuously improved and enriched with the rapid development of the drone industry.

"Rainbow" drone adopts a new model of development-production-practice-feedback-improvement-development, and uses practical use experience to feed back the design of the new model. This also has a strong reference effect on the development of my country's GJB drone standards and the development, identification and evaluation models of drones.
At present, the majors involved in my country's GJB drone standards are still not comprehensive enough. Most of them are based on general requirements, lack specific product specifications, and are not very guiding for the specific development and production process.

In recent years, the standard formulation and revision work in the field of drones has attracted the attention of leaders and experts from all walks of life. Research on standardization topics has been carried out. After summarizing the opinions of experts from multiple parties, the framework of the drone standard system was initially proposed, and a number of special standards for drones have been formulated, which to a certain extent solved the urgent need for model development. However, the standards that play a guiding role in the development, production and use of drones are still very lacking. With the rapid development of drone technology, the development task of drone models will become more urgent, and the emergence of new models and new technologies will inevitably create new demands for standards.
"Rainbow" drone, as one of the most comprehensive and practical experience among domestic drones, should make more contributions to further improving and developing my country's GJB drone standards!
Picture: Rainbow-7 Stealth Flying Wing UAV. The new domestic drone is no longer something that can be imagined when the GJB was formulated. The GJB standard is needed to keep pace with the times and effectively promote the development of domestic drones. In this process, drones such as "Rainbow" that dare to try out will make greater contributions to the improvement of GJB standards!
