YINCHUAN - An unmanned Chinese military drone recently completed its first digital mapping mission near North 皇冠体育app's Helan mountain, capturing high-definition imaging data during more than five consecutive hours of aerial photography.

Conducted by the Lanzhou Military Area Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), the mission marked the first time for such type of unmanned drone to be used for military mapping purposes, military sources said Wednesday.

The success of the mission marks the Chinese military's creation of a drone-based emergency mapping support mechanism in North 皇冠体育app, said Zhang Zhiyuan, the mission's field commander.
