Medium-sized surface ships and formations, with the ability to attack small ships and fixed targets on land at the same time.
"The missile can fly close to the sea at ultra-low altitudes, and its multiple guidance modes can be adapted to the ability to accurately strike multiple targets at sea and on land, and it can be adaptively modified to achieve vehicle-borne and ship-borne launch." Tang Dengjun said.
He told reporters that the integrated coastal defense weapon system that debuted at the air show is an integrated, modular and systematic overall solution for the opposing strike system, which can realize target detection, command control, fire strike, weapon control, etc. Function, it can launch YJ-12E supersonic missiles, CM-802B subsonic missiles and other face-to-face strike weapons, which can be flexibly loaded on ships, trains, automobiles and other platforms or directly fixed for use.
The C8 series of missiles has another "strongest single product", which is also a highlight of the air show.
Tang Dengjun said that the C8 series missile weapon system family has served the international weaponry and equipment market for more than 30 years, and has formed a relatively complete product line with multi-platform launch capabilities.
The CM-802B missile exhibited at the Zhuhai Air Show is a new member of the C8 family.
Tang Dengjun said that the CM-802B missile is a multi-purpose missile developed on the basis of the C802A missile.
The missile has a maximum effective range of 290 kilometers, can be launched tilted or vertically, and is suitable for installation on a variety of platforms.
"This model inherits the advantages of the C8 series, such as small size, light weight, long range, strong penetration ability, high hit accuracy, powerful warhead, and easy maintenance and operation. It can be modularized and replaced with multiple seekers, which greatly improves This improved the missile’s anti-jamming capability and its ability to strike ground targets.” Tang Dengjun said.
He told reporters that the missile has the ability to attack twice and fly over obstacles, and has strong anti-interference and concealed launch performance. It can achieve dead-angle strikes against enemy ship targets, and it can also directly attack field command centers and technologies. Compared with contemporary anti-ship missiles in the international market, the overall technical indicators of various high-value fixed targets on the ground, such as weapon positions, have a significant competitive advantage.
The HT-1E, which was also exhibited for the first time, is a new generation of general-purpose launch platform independently developed by my country and with complete intellectual property rights that can be installed on all types of ships. It is also my country’s first shipborne general-purpose vertical launch system for export. .
"It has changed the previous status quo of ship-borne special launching devices with many types, large numbers, and low space utilization. It has greatly increased the types and quantities of ship-borne ammunition, and can achieve'one ship with multiple capabilities and one ship with multiple uses', allowing ships to Fighting more and faster is one of the important equipment for building a modern surface combat power system." Wang Wengang said.
Series of commercial aerospace equipment debut
"How about the launch price?" "Future space tourism will not be a dream?" During the reporter's visit, the appearance of the Kuaizhou series of solid carrier rockets attracted attention.
Zhu Andong, Director of the International Cooperation Department of Aerospace Sanjiang Group, said that the "Kaizhou" brand has repeatedly set records in recent years and has become a new business card for commercial launches.
Among them, the Kuaizhou-1A solid carrier rocket has successfully completed 9 launches since its first commercial launch mission in January 2017, sending 19 satellites into the predetermined orbit.
He told reporters that the rocket is a general-purpose rocket that mainly provides launch services for micro-satellites. It adopts international general interfaces and has the characteristics of high flight reliability, high precision into orbit, short preparation period, low support requirements, and low launch cost. .
Zhu Andong revealed that another representative of the Kuaizhou "family", "Brother 11" Kuaizhou 11 solid launch vehicle, also adopts the vehicle-mounted mobile launch method, which can meet the needs of satellite commercialization, high-density, and rapid launch.
In addition to the space courier "Rocket Brother", the shining "star maker" is also the focus of everyone's attention.
In recent years, small satellite constellations have become a hot area in the commercial aerospace market.
On May 12, 2020, the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket sent the "Xingyun II" 01 and the "Xingyun II" 02 stars into a predetermined orbit in a "one arrow and two stars" method.
Zhu Andong said that the Xingyun Project has built a constellation system composed of 80 low-orbit satellites.
After the constellation is completed, in remote areas such as islands, deserts, and oceans, there will be signals wherever there are stars in the future, realizing the true global interconnection of everything.
According to him, the Xingyun project plans to complete the construction in three phases.
In May 2020, "Xingyun II" 01 and 02 were successfully launched into orbit, and pilot demonstration applications were carried out in key industries such as domestic container supervision, earth disaster monitoring, meteorological observation, agricultural monitoring, and marine environment; 2022 12 more small satellites will be launched around the year to carry out trial operation and market application expansion; follow-up to complete the launch of all 80 satellites and complete the entire constellation network, and extensively carry out domestic and foreign market applications and promotion.
The phased array user station seen at the exhibition is only the size of a laptop, which is an important part of the space-based broadband Internet system to directly establish contact with users.
Zhu Andong said that it uses a two-dimensional full-airspace extremely fast electric scanning mode, no mechanical parts, more convenient maintenance, and at the same time meets the needs of frequent and rapid beam switching between low-orbit satellites.
The ultra-thin tile-type modular phased array antenna design realizes the convenience and low cost brought about by the miniaturization of the price advantage, which is suitable for a variety of scenarios such as aviation, navigation, automobile, and portability.
On another booth in the commercial aerospace exhibition area, there are two star products that are well known to the public-rendezvous and docking microwave radar and Mars phased array sensor, which have been used in my country’s previous space rendezvous and docking missions and "Tianwen No. 1" It played an important role in the landing mission of the Mars rover and received widespread attention. This time it was exhibited in the air show for the first time in physical form.
Wang Wengang said that after 8 actual space mission tests, the rendezvous and docking microwave radar has formed a generalized and platform-based development, and the technology maturity and product stability are complete and reliable, which meets the mission requirements for high-frequency and fast docking of space station construction.
The phased array sensor is one of the important measurement components of the Mars rover. It performed well in my country's first Mars exploration mission implemented in December 2020 and successfully assisted in a safe landing.
