NRIST S-series UAVs are Chinese [[UAV]]s developed by [http://www.nrist.com/ Nanjing Research Institute of Simulation Technology (南京模拟技术研究所)] (NRIST), also known as the 60th Research Institute of [[People's Liberation Army General Staff Department]] (总参六十所), an [[ISO 9000|ISO 9001]] ceritified research/production facility headquartered in [[Nanjing]]. Some of the S-series UAV were originally designated as II-series UAV. The designation of S-series consists of letter S (possibly for Speed), followed by a number, which is the speed of the UAV, in meters per second.

==S-45==
S-45 is a fixed wing drone developed by NRIST as a replacement of Type I Drone, the first drone/UAV indigenously developed in China. Like its predecessor Type I Drone, S-45 is also powered by a propeller driven [[tractor configuration|tractor engine]] mounted in the nose. S-45 has tricycle landing gear and thus can be recovered by either parachute or taxiing. S-45 is mainly intended to train small caliber antiaircraft artillery crew, and it can simulate combat manuevors of combat aircraft.

S-90 drone is a drone developed by NRIST for deployment in high altitude regions.<ref>[http://baike.zhige.net/doc-view-6656 S-90]</ref> S-90 drone is in a layout that resembles many modern jet fighters and can simulate complex manevoures of jet fighters to train the crew of antiaircraft weaponry.<ref name="S-UAV"/>

==S-400==
S-400 UAV is a supersonic UAV developed by NRIST, and it has made its first public debut in July 2014 at the 5th UAV Exhibition held in [[Beijing]]. At the time of its public debut, S-400 is still under the final stage of development. S-400 does not look like a typical UAV, but instead, it looks like a missile, and in particular, an air-to-air missile. S-400 is powered by two stage solid rocket motors consisting a cylindrical fuselage and there are a total of three sets of control surfaces, each set has a two pairs in cruciform. The smallest sized set is near the nose while the remaining two larger sized sets are mounted on the [[empennage]], and the midsection respectively.<ref>[http://news.ifeng.com/a/20140709/41086150_0.shtml#p=2 S-400 UAV]</ref> Specification:<ref>[http://mil.chinaiiss.com/html/20147/9/a6d639_1.html S-400]</ref>
