To look at the Ehang 184's possible military use, the U.S. Marines' testing of the K-Max robotic helicopter in Afghanistan and at sea is a likely guide. Just like the K-Max, the application of Ehang 184 technology to Chinese unmanned systems would provide autonomous tactical delivery of supplies (and maybe even people) to rugged locations where it's too dangerous for manned helicopters, or where runways are unavailable.
Conversely, the Ehang could provide on-demand evacuation of lone special force operators, VIPs, casualties, prisoners and captured materials. Proliferating widespread VTOL airlift capabilities to Chinese forces would aid logistics for counter-insurgency operations and peacekeeping, and give third dimension maneuver capabilities to Chinese squads operating in urban environments.
