HALCON from UAE has developed the HAS-250 first local-made anti-ship cruise missile

[Philip the Arab]

UAE (United Arab Emirates) has developed its first local-made anti-ship cruise missile named HAS-250 (HALCON Anti-Ship 250) that was designed by the UAE-based company HALCON, a subdivision of EDGE, a cluster of defense and security companies from the United Arab Emirates.

The company HALCON is a regional leader in the production and supply of precision-guided weapons. Part of the Missiles and Weapons cluster of EDGE, the company also provides special manufacturing solutions, and automation and robotics consulting, and advisory services that help customers achieve their operational and tactical goals.

With its HAS-250 ((HALCON Anti-Ship 250), the UAE-based company HALCON has developed a new generation of an anti-ship missile to equip naval forces with the highest performing cruise missile system. Engineered to provide the highest performance, the HAS-250 utilizes Global Navigation Satellite and Inertial Navigation Systems (GNSS + INS) and for high accuracy targeting it is equipped with an active/passive terminal seeker and radio altimeter.

The HAS-250 is a UAE-designed and developed surface-to-surface missile capable of traveling at speeds of up to 0.8 Mach, with a range of over 250 km. During its terminal phase, it can fly towards its target at a sea-skimming altitude of below 5 m. With a solid propellant and HS-350 turbojet engine, the missile has a gross weight of 1,200 kg and is fitted with a 200 kg warhead. It has a length of 5.4 m and a diameter of 435 mm.

The HAS-250 anti-ship missile features a seeker with an active/passive radar radio altimeter for greater precision against naval and coastal targets. Offering mission planner wide flexibility, the missile can operate at altitudes up to 3 km and as low as 5-10 meters above the ground.

At IDEX 2021, the International Land Defense Exhibition that was held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, HALCON has also presented a mobile coastal missile defense system based on a 6x6 ASTRA truck chassis HD 6648. The rear of the truck chassis is fitted with two launcher containers able to fire the HAS-250 anti-ship missile. The system is designed to engage surface ships including carrier battle groups, convoys, and landing craft.

I'm not sure you were aware of this development. UAE hired a lot of Denel Dynamics employees and combined with UAE engineers the company now has over 400 employees which is a good start.

 

[denel]

correct most of denel core crew are in UAE

Well it is Denels fault brought on by the ANC they couldnt pay salaries so most went to Incomar Halcon Paramount and Hensoldt optronics.

Pure GPS+INS or TERCOM would allow increased range and the ability to strike deep land targets it should certainly be considered.

Most likely they are working on those guidance systems..

Billip, you sound like a rep for Halcon, bro. Just kidding, buddy. You're proposing great alternatives, really.

Thanks for the shout out and the well detailed post. I need to understand the fundation of the system

Who knows? Maybe Pakistan will cooperate with UAE, the South Africans have a lot to offer you know and they are on UAE payroll.

TERCOM over sea?

It could be a force to be reckoned with due to it's cheap production costs and the ability to increase the load

 

[The SC]

He means for a land to land version of the cruise missile..

 

[Philip the Arab]

Got some more info on the engine that will be used on this, apparently they can be scaled up from 1kn to 3.5kn which means they will likely be used as the propulsion of this missile and also can form the core of a turbofan.

Originally developed by CSIR before the engineers left and developed it further in the UAE

This isn't 100% confirmed so take it with a bag of salt.

Is it TV missile expansion or guided?

What do you mean?
This is a jet engine
