It is larger and faster than US Global Hawk, also operates longer hours in higher altitude, as an un-man AWAC, to pin point so call stealth warplanes of US, and direct anti-aircraft missiles to down them. It needs to fly high to cover long range detection. The pilots are on ground so the detection can go on as long as there is fuel. The concept of it is mere-satellite.

The following is based on a translation of a report in Chinese media:
China has previously held details of its new “Shendiao” high-altitude, long-range, anti-stealth drone as top secret, but Hong Kong’s Ta Kung Pao reveals more details in its latest report.
The report says that the Shendiao has a higher performance level and better operational capabilities than America’s RQ-4 Global Hawk.
According to Ta Kung Pao, the Shendiao is 25 metres long with a wingspan of 50 metres. It is dual-hull.
The greater wingspan enables it to fly at at a height of 25 km, much higher than Global Hawk’s 18 km. Its speed is Mach 0.8 faster than the Global Hawk.
As it has a takeoff load of 15 to 20 tons, it can carry a radar that works at both X and UHF wavebands, which provides accurate fire control information at X waveband and can detect stealth aircraft at UHF waveband.
A group of Shendiaos coordinated with a manned KJ-500 manned AEW&C aircraft will provide early warning when US stealth aircraft come near China and track them.
The report says that the Shendiao’s emergence makes it very dangerous and difficult for the US air force to invade Chinese airspace.
Moreover, the Shendiao has greatly improved China’s capabilities to hit US warships, airfields and land-based missile launchers with long-range weapons.
Ta Kung Pao also says that the US will be unable to attack China with its 20-odd strategic stealth bombers as China has anti-stealth capabilities with these drones.
