The Zhuhai Airshow CASIC debuted C705KD missile weapon system, which is the first land attack C705 modified anti-ship missiles.
C705 series is one of CASIC Third Naval Institute focuses on offensive and defensive combat system construction and development of a series of medium-range anti-ship missiles. According to Science and Industry Hospitals planning, anti-ship missile of a complete coastal defense anti-ship combat system contains mainly by C701 / C704 range anti-ship missile, C705 / C802A medium-range anti-ship missiles, C602 range anti-ship missiles and other missiles constitute a range covering almost, in a remote, launch platform covers shore, ship-based, submarine-based, space-based, multi-platform work together to achieve full range precision strike.
Which, C705 and C802A, although both belong to medium-range anti-ship missiles, but both power differently. C802A anti-ship missile is mainly responsible for the standoff enemy surface ships and medium-sized fleet, a launch mass of 800 kg (air-launched 600 kg), has a range of 180 km and can carry 190 kg of large warhead. Out of the water to hit the 4,000-ton warship. Belong to the medium-range anti-ship missile in the heavy ammunition.
But for medium and small countries, they are also enemies of the basic strength comparable with their neighbors, the Navy is little more than 4,000 tons of ships, the main displacement ships in these countries tend to have about 2,000 tons, more the small vessels of 1,000 tons or less, speedboats. Buy powerful and higher prices C802A is obviously not the best, both play no weapons maximum performance, but also increased defense spending. Hospitals Aerospace Science and Industry is aimed at the needs of these small countries, and developed a considerable range and C802A (up to 140 kilometers), but the power of the C705 light moderate anti-ship missiles. C705 anti-ship missile combat weight of about 320 kg, only half the C-802A air-launched quality. The new high-performance warhead mass of about 130KG, reaching 70% C802A warhead quality and accounted for half the weak quality of missiles. Such a light anti-ship missile carrying a warhead such components, excellent visibility C705 turbojet engine performance, while maintaining a certain range so the quality of the premise can carry warheads. According to public information with past reports, because the use of new technology charge against the effect of the warhead to be between C802 and C802A missiles that can hit once or sunk below the middle 1500-3000 ton ship.
C705 anti-ship missile guidance system uses inertial navigation system.According to R & D personnel, this new inertial navigation system uses a "digital model inject" a guided way, than the earlier "inertial navigation platform - the computer" type or similar inertial navigation module, the accuracy has a significantly improved to meet the modernization of small and medium munitions of war "precision strike" needs.
C705 air-launched anti-ship missile launch mode is stripped launchers, which outstripped the aircraft missiles at a certain distance from the start of auto-ignition. And the show's debut C705KD space attack cruise missile is developed from the C705 air-launched version, based on its use of infrared imaging seeker, TV imaging multi-mode guidance system, respectively, for the night / fog different combat environment and good conditions during the day when the weather. To further improve the missile hits, the designer also introduced the "man in the loop" missile flight control mode, the data link between man and machine will be connected together through the installation of the missile image instruction. When the missile launch, guide members returned by the data link images to accurately identify the target, and then operate the missile maneuvers until hit the target. This avoids the land terrain recognition under complex terrain conditions and other issues, relying on human judgment greatly improve the hit rate of the missile. In addition, the missile can also re-select the target in flight, to some extent, improved the problems repeatedly hit the same target. In addition, the missile also has a multi-point route planning capability that can automatically select the attack line, reducing the burden on the pilot.
C705 in Indonesia had already successfully exported and deployed on the Indonesian Navy KCR-40 type fast patrol boats, this model has a certain reputation in the international community. Indonesia and other countries and a large number of Air Force light attack aircraft equipped with slight improvements also can carry multiple pieces C705KD land attack missiles. Since the C705 series of missiles modular design, just dress different steering head assembly can change the type of the missile strike. Therefore, the state almost bought C705 anti-ship missiles can be purchased only IR / TV imaging seeker components can have a ground attack capability. Thus pushing, export clearing the way C705KD attack cruise missiles should be smooth some.
