China has become a world leader in air-defense technologies thanks to the hard work and dedication of researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp's Second Academy, the country's major developer of air-defense weapons systems.

Since the period 2007/2008 China has launched programs to develop new air defense capabilities. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, China air defense systems was mainly composed by old Soviet-made SA-2 / SA-75 Dvina but now Chinese defense industry has designed and developed many types of air defense systems including the HQ-9, HQ-12, HQ-16 and more.

Researchers from the academy's Zhang Yiqun Laboratory have been playing a vital role in the development of China's new air-defense missile system by designing its control systems - the "brain" of any missile.

Chinese armed forces also use Russian-made air defense system as the S-300 PMU-2 Favorit and the TOR-M1 under the name of HQ-17, Chinese development of the Russian-made Tor-M1 system with multiple improvements.

In 2018, Russia has delivered the first regimental set of S-400 Triumf advanced interceptor-based Air Defense Systems (NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler) to China under a 2014 government-to-government contract.

Compared with previous generations of air-defense missiles, the new-generation missile system will have a wider range of targets and be much more technologically sophisticated, taking China into the ranks of just a handful of nations capable of designing and producing such a system.

The cutting-edge missile's control systems need to be extremely efficient and accurate, said Wang Mengyi, deputy head of the Second Academy's General Design Department and former leader of the laboratory.

The successful development of China's new air-defense missile system would be unachievable if researchers at the laboratory had failed to design world-class control systems, he said, noting that they adopted new design methods that have reduced design time tremendously and improved missile performance.

Wang Xiaodong, a laboratory researcher, said members of the laboratory spent numerous days and nights improving the accuracy of control systems and optimizing the algorithms that are central to them.

"For example, we worked 10 consecutive days and slept little each day to detect and resolve one extremely rare abnormality because all of us are aware that our nation's air-defense networks can only be reliable if we are meticulous and responsible toward our work," he said.

The laboratory, named after Zhang Yiqun, a top researcher at the academy and former head of the laboratory, has been granted 11 National Science and Technology Advancement Awards and 28 National Defense Science and Technology Progress Awards due to its extensive contribution to China's air-defense networks. It has also registered more than 130 defense technology patents.

In the laboratory, members of the Communist Party of China play a vanguard, exemplary role, leaders of the laboratory said. They always take the lead in innovating, carry out their assignments carefully, with scrupulous attention to detail, and also display an inspirational level of diligence and devotion toward their work.

They need to be battle tested against advance adversaries only can then we say they have become a world leader. Else these are unsubstantiated claims.

Yes but I don't think any of these types of SAM systems have really ever been tested by an "advanced adversary". The only scenario that comes slightly close to this would be the Persian Gulf War. And we all remember how badly the PATRIOTs performed against very low tech Scud missiles.

Lol the S-400 deal was signed way back in 2014 with discussions beginning even earlier. Back then China wasn’t a world leader in SAM technology ... now it may be. Besides the S-400 deal was highly politicized from the very beginning ... doesn’t mean much (same as the Su-35).

Researchers design new air-defense missile system (09 JULY)

China has become a world leader in air-defense technologies thanks to the hard work and dedication of researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp's Second Academy, the country's major developer of air-defense weapons systems.

Researchers from the academy's Zhang Yiqun Laboratory have been playing a vital role in the development of China's NEW air-defense missile system by designing its control systems - the "brain" of any missile.

Compared with previous generations of air-defense missiles, the NEW-GENERATION missile system will have a wider range of targets and be much more technologically sophisticated, taking China into the ranks of just a handful of nations capable of designing and producing such a system.

The cutting-edge missile's control systems need to be extremely efficient and accurate, said Wang Mengyi, deputy head of the Second Academy's General Design Department and former leader of the laboratory.

"METAPHORICALLY put, the mission of these control systems is to guide a needle to fly 1,000 kilometers to pierce the eye of another needle," he said. "For researchers from Zhang Yiqun Laboratory, their mission is to turn this seemingly impossible task into reality."

Wang said control systems are mainly tasked with working out a missile's best trajectory and making sure it can hit its target.

The successful development of China's new air-defense missile system would be unachievable if researchers at the laboratory had failed to design world-class control systems, he said, noting that they adopted new design methods that have reduced design time tremendously and improved missile performance.

Wang Xiaodong, a laboratory researcher, said members of the laboratory spent numerous days and nights improving the accuracy of control systems and optimizing the algorithms that are central to them.

Educate oneself better and watch this whole 5-episode series then infer on one's own. But don't expect the blunt, explicit articulations, that is not the Chinese style of communication, one must look elsewhere for such direct even hyping style

I posted these footages here because those underlying technologies are principally applicable to missiles and missile defence systems incl. the ASBM.
