ZJ-100 is a very little known Chinese UAV that made its public debut in November 2014 at the 10th Zhuhai Airshow. 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. 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.
