A large number of private enterprises have entered the military industry, which has become a bright spot in the industrial industry in recent years. Among the dazzling military products of private enterprises, there are not only high-tech materials, high-precision components, but also a lot of complete first-class equipment products, which proves that the integration strategy of our people has moved from initial integration to deep integration. Some of the products of China's Gaode infrared group have attracted the attention of military experts and the majority of military fans, the group is known for its "Gaode military industry", its new products include the 30-ton QN-506 "New King of Land Warfare" fire support vehicle, TN-2 mobile anti-aircraft missile launcher, QN-502C intelligent anti-tank missile, QN-201 multi-purpose economic missile, QN-202 individual miniature missile, S-570 cruise missile and WS-30 WS-300 unmanned ***, etc., refreshing!

QN-506 "New Land King" fire support vehicle

AutoNavi Infrared Group is a high-tech private military listed enterprise that started with infrared thermal imaging technology, and is also the first private enterprise in China with the best overall research and development qualification, which has laid a solid foundation for its deeper involvement in the field of military industry.

QN-506 is a multi-purpose integrated land combat ** system, military fans often compare it with Russia's BMPT "Terminator" fire support vehicle, in fact, the vehicle has UAVs, cruise missiles and other aerial reconnaissance and strike means, making the "Chada integrated" air drone concept for the first time into the land battlefield. From this point of view, the QN-506 is even more innovative than the BMPT "Terminator" fire support vehicle. The vehicle has a variety of strike means, mainly used to combat enemy tanks, light armored vehicles, permanent fortifications, personnel, etc., and can threaten low-flying fighters or armed forces, belonging to the real battlefield all-rounder!In addition to the tank chassis, most of the advanced equipment, fire control system, and sighting devices of the QN-506 "New King of Land Warfare" fire support vehicle are from the hands of AutoNavi Infrared Group, showing its accumulation in the field of land combat equipment research and development.

The chassis of the car is selected from the chassis of the Type 59 medium tank, and can be replaced with other wheeled or tracked armored chassis as needed. In addition to retaining the original basic protection capability of the Type 59 medium tank, the body is also equipped with protective equipment such as reactive armor, rubber skirts, explosion-proof grilles, etc., with a total combat weight of about 30 tons, which is much lighter than the Type 59 medium tank, and there is no pressure on the engine, and even provides room for upgrading the armor protection in the future. The car has a total of 3 occupants, all sitting in the front of the car in the fighting compartment, the lower left front part is the driver's seat, the upper middle and the right side are the commander's and gunner's seats, and the 3 people share 2 access hatches. In order to accommodate this fighting compartment, the chassis of the tank was heightened, and two armored viewing windows similar to those found in German tanks in World War II were installed on the front of the vehicle, so that the view was better than through a periscope.

The chassis ** dismantled the original tank turret and installed an unmanned turret developed on the basis of the ZPT99 single-person universal turret. The original "Red Arrow" 73C anti-tank missile launch track was canceled on the turret, the 30-mm cannon was retained, the pitch angle reached -5 53 degrees, the firing range was 3 kilometers, and it was equipped with 80 armor-piercing shells and 120 grenades, which could hit targets in high-rise buildings, which was also the lesson of the Russian army in the bloody street battles in the city of Grozny!There is also a 762 mm side-by-side machine gun, mainly against cluster vivid targets at a range of 1 km. At the top of the turret is the commander's circumferential fire control and sighting system, and at the rear is the commander's lifting photoelectric turret, which is very useful in urban combat.

Two groups of missile launch boxes are installed on both sides of the turret, of which 4 large-diameter missiles are QN-502C intelligent anti-tank missiles independently developed by AutoNavi Infrared, which adopts a composite guidance mode, which can be either launched and left alone, or controlled by "people in the loop". The missile uses a large angle of drop to hit the weak armor on the top of the tank, and the static armor-piercing power exceeds 1,000 mm, which is basically a one-hit kill for any main battle tank in serviceThe missile has a range of 6 kilometers, not only to hit ground tanks and armored vehicles, but also to destroy small surface ships, and to drive away the small diameter of the upper part of the armed launch box is the QN-201 multi-purpose missile developed by Gaode Infrared, a total of 20, which is a 70 mm caliber economic missile, also known as the "cabbage bomb", and truly realizes "use missiles as artillery shells"!The bomb mainly hits light armored targets and fortifications within a range of 4 kilometers, using image recognition and intelligent tracking technology, it can achieve multi-target engagement, hit up to 4 targets at the same time, and can penetrate 70 mm homogeneous steel armor with a 60-degree inclination, or 300 mm thick reinforced concrete fortifications.

The rear of the car hull on both sides of the hidden arrangement of 4 backward inclined launch of the S-570 cruise missile, the range of 10 kilometers, in fact, is a small UAV with a warhead, propelled by the propeller, 4 folding wings after launch to maintain flight stability, accurate hit lightly armored targets, buildings and cluster soldiers, static armor thickness greater than 60 mm. A quadrotor unmanned reconnaissance plane is used in conjunction with the cruise missile, so a small take-off and landing platform is specially set up in front of the right side of the hull. The aircraft can conduct aerial reconnaissance of targets within a range of 10 kilometers at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, with a flight time of up to 40 minutes, opening an "eye in the sky" for tank units.

In addition to these ** equipment, the QN-506 fire support vehicle is also equipped with a sniper detection device, which can accurately locate the position of the enemy sniper, once the enemy sniper is on their own personnel, then it will be from the machine gun to the machine gun to the 70 mm "cabbage bullet" split head and cover the brain!In order to defend against infantry attacks at close range, six remote-controlled electronic grenades are also placed on both sides of the vehicle's skirt, which can hit enemy personnel within 5 meters on both sides of the vehicle.

Due to the modular design of the vehicle, this complete firepower system can be increased or decreased according to the needs of users, and can be installed on unmanned combat vehicles to become a powerful intelligent attack robot!

TN-2 mobile anti-aircraft missile launcher

TN-2 is a short-range medium and low-altitude mobile missile system, composed of a wheeled off-road chassis, a photoelectric search and tracking system, a fire control system, a communication and navigation and positioning system and 4 missile launchers, with multi-vehicle cooperative operations, master-slave vehicle operations and single-vehicle independent operations, etc., mainly used to combat armed fixed-wing aircraft, UAVs and cruise missiles. The total combat weight of the single vehicle is less than 10 tons, with a new three-axle long body "Mengshi" high-mobility armored chassis as the vehicle, the front is a double-row cab and an operation room, and a missile launch turret is installed in the rear, with a high and low firing angle of 0 70 degrees, and 4 cartridge-mounted missiles are arranged on the turret, and other wheeled or tracked chassis can also be replaced according to customer needs.

This air defense missile system adopts passive infrared photoelectric search and tracking technology and infrared imaging homing guidance technology, which has the characteristics of not radiating radar waves, good concealment, and strong anti-jamming ability, and can detect targets at a distance of 23 kilometers. The missiles used have a canard aerodynamic layout with a chamfered triangular main wing in the tail section of a cross layout and a striped winglet in the head. The diameter of the missile is 160 mm, the length of the missile is 2900 mm, the mass of the missile is less than 95 kg, the effective killing altitude is 15 6000 meters, the effective killing slope is 13 000 meters, and the maximum flight speed is m235 (800 m s), the maneuvering overload can reach 30g, so that the usable overload at the end of the missile's flight trajectory is relatively high, and it has strong maneuverability and interception capability. This missile adopts the guidance mode of full passive infrared imaging self-seeking or inertial command mid-course guidance + terminal infrared image homing (with data link), which can not only adapt to harsh climatic conditions, but also be able to hit targets with small infrared signatures. The single-shot kill probability of the missile is greater than 80%, the missile's anti-infrared decoy jamming success rate is greater than 80%, the guidance accuracy is less than 3 meters, and the killing radius of the warhead reaches 7 meters. In addition, because the missile adopts the Stirling refrigerated infrared imaging seeker, it does not use the refrigeration gas source, can be electrically refrigerated in advance, can be repeatedly turned on and used, and the attack is found to be attacked, and the logistics support and maintenance are simple, which greatly shortens the reaction time of the air defense missile system, and the reaction time of the whole system is less than 8 seconds, and it only takes 8 minutes for the system to be deployed and 4 minutes for disassembly.

TN-2 air defense system in a single vehicle independent combat, the combat vehicle needs to be deployed in the combat position, ** system self-test is completed, the photoelectric search system and missile seeker begin to refrigerate, and then the photoelectric search and tracking system in the suspicious airspace to search for targets and carry out target lists, after the shooter confirms the target, the fire control system timely controls the missile power-up, and guides the missile to intercept the target, and implements the missile launch after meeting the launch conditions. If the seeker is unable to intercept the target normally due to weather conditions, it can switch to the post-launch interception mode. In this mode, the fire control system calculates the initial direction of the missile according to the target information given by the optoelectronic system, and the missile transmits the image of the seeker ** image back to the shooter in real time by the data link on the missile during the flight until the target is intercepted.

The TN-2 air defense missile system can not only perform accompanying air defense tasks on a single vehicle, but also be able to conduct network operations in a company formation. At this time, a combat vehicle is needed as a command vehicle, and of course other general-purpose armored command vehicles can also be used, and 4 6 anti-aircraft missile launchers can carry out coordinated operations under unified command, and simultaneously launch 4 6 missiles to strike at different incoming targets. The TN-2 air defense missile system can perform both field air defense tasks and air defense of key areas. When conducting field air defense, it is mainly accompanied by offensive and defensive operations or marching troops, according to the predetermined battle formation and the division of operational airspace, closely following the covered troops, using the air situation provided by the superior air defense network or the first system to independently search and discover target information, and give full play to the ability and advantages of the first system to respond quickly, conduct short-stop operations between marches, and combat all day, and intercept the enemy's air targets. In carrying out air defense tasks at key points, one or six air defense vehicles with coordinated operations deployed within 13 kilometers of key points will be deployed within 13 kilometers of key points to form an operational airspace of no less than 22 kilometers, and they can also be combined with medium- and long-range air defense missiles to eliminate enemy air attack targets outside key areas.

Compared with some typical short-range mobile air defense missile systems at home and abroad, such as the "Avenger" air defense system of the United States, as well as the "Yitian" system and the "Hunter" system using TY-90 air defense missiles, the TN-2 air defense system has a range of up to 13 kilometers, far higher than the former, and the firing height reaches 6,000 meters, which is to meet the standard of medium-range surface-to-air missile systems, so that it can destroy enemy air targets at a longer distance and at a higher altitude, and form a firepower connection with the medium-range ground-to-air missile system. In particular, with the popularization of the UAV, the traditional short-range surface-to-air missile system may be helpless against such targets, but the TN-2 air defense system is just capable of hitting these air targets that hover at about 6,000 meters and launch anti-tank missiles.

However, due to the relatively large size of the missiles used in the TN-2 system, a "Mengshi" missile launcher can only carry four missiles, and there are also problems such as low firepower durability. In the next step, an armored chassis with a better load capacity can be used to further increase the bomb load.

WS-30 300 unmanned***

WS-30 unmanned *** has the characteristics of all-weather, high maintainability, vehicle-mounted portability, etc., using automatic and manual control integration, which can cooperate with the ground station, CDFDM100KM image transmission system, and waypoint route background management system to realize over-the-horizon remote mission visualization, real-time feedback and update of on-site images, synchronous change of track, switching of inspection targets and other commands. The captain 177 meters, 033 meters, 06 meters (to the top of the rotor), driven by an air-cooled gasoline engine, with a maximum flight speed of 60 km/h, a maximum climb speed of 5 m/s, and a maximum speed of 15 hours, a range of 90 km, a limit load of 12 kg, a combat radius of 50 km, and a flight wind resistance of 5 levels. The lower part of the fuselage is equipped with an infrared and visible dual-mode photoelectric probe ball, for 23×2.Targets of 3 meters are found at a distance greater than 2 using an infrared system5 km, with a detection range of more than 3 km using visible light. The aircraft carries four QN-202 miniature missiles with a 40 mm diameter, which can hit lightly armored targets or vivid targets within 2 kilometers.

The WS-300 unmanned *** is a medium-sized unmanned *** with a maximum mission load of 100 kg, with a length of 658 meters, width 16 meters, 2 meters high1 meter (to the top of the rotor), using a water-cooled air-cooled gasoline engine, with a maximum power of 45 kilowatts, a maximum flight speed of 136 kilometers and a maximum climb rate of 45 meters and seconds, the maximum flight time is 4 hours, the range is 400 kilometers, the ultimate load weight is 100 kilograms, the combat radius can reach 200 kilometers, and the flight wind resistance level is 5. The rear of the fuselage is equipped with an infrared visible dual-mode optical probe, and the infrared recognition distance is greater than 45 km, visible light recognition distance 5 km. The aircraft can carry eight QN-201 multi-purpose missiles with a 70 mm diameter and a range of 4 kilometers, which can effectively hit the enemy's fixed or mobile light military vehicles and near-ground soft targets, and is especially suitable for special operations such as anti-terrorist operations, urban street warfare, and guerrilla warfare.

In recent years, China's small and medium-sized unmanned unmanned products have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and various types of military and civilian unmanned unmanned products have been launched one after another. In September 2018, the **500 unmanned aircraft independently developed by the aviation industry was also invited to participate in the actual combat military exercise Xi of the People's Liberation Army, and practiced long-distance low-altitude penetration, and launched missiles for precision strikes, which shows that our army has realized the important role of unmanned personnel on the battlefield. In the future, small unmanned aircraft such as WS-30 will give full play to its advantages of reconnaissance and combat, and be attached to infantry companies to carry out close-range reconnaissance and air support missions, while medium-sized unmanned vehicles such as WS-300 can not only play a role on the land battlefield, but also be deployed on small and medium-sized ships, or in the military port defense forces, to identify and strike at small near-shore targets such as suicide boats. However, due to the current WS-300 unmanned gasoline engine, it does not meet the safety management standards of our first boat, which may cause certain obstacles to the ship.

General purpose missiles of the QN family

Among the above-mentioned equipment, they are equipped with QN series multi-purpose missiles independently developed and launched by AutoNavi Infrared Group, just like the famous "Rainbow" UAV using self-developed AR series missiles, with missiles and other ammunition at the same time. For foreign users, the purchase of finished equipment may be a one-time behavior, but once these equipment are used on the battlefield, then the huge consumption of missiles and other ammunition may be purchased in multiple batches, and its sales profit is even higher than that of the whole vehicle.

The QN-502C medium-range intelligent anti-tank missile is the largest of the AutoNavi infrared QN series missiles, in addition to being used on the QN-506 fire support vehicle, it can also be mounted on a wheeled high-speed vehicle or launched by individual soldiers. The QN-502C missile is a multi-purpose anti-tank missile that takes into account the two working modes of "locking before firing and ignoring it" and "capturing and controlling people in the loop after firing", and its performance is similar to that of the "Red Arrow" 12 anti-tank missile. This type of missile uses an uncooled infrared imaging detector, equipped with a missile data link, adopts inertial guidance + image end guidance, has an over-the-horizon strike capability, and can still effectively strike at the target when the weather is poor, low visibility or the infrared signature of the target is weak, mainly used to attack the main battle tank, armored vehicles, fortifications and firepower points within a range of 6 kilometers, taking into account the attack on surface targets such as small boats, and also has a certain ability to drive away the enemy. The missile can be launched by launching canisters, and can also be launched by vehicle-mounted and ground tripods, with a diameter of 151 mm, a barrel-mounted missile with a length of 1 200 mm, a maximum range of 6 km, a hit accuracy of more than 80 percent, a vertical static armor penetration depth of more than 1 000 mm, and a penetration rate of more than 80 percent. If it is carried by individual soldiers, it will require a launch group of 2 or 3 people, with a mass of 28 kg of cartridge missiles and protective components, and a total mass of 25 kg of sights, portable launch and control devices, and tripod backs. A group of three people can carry a set of launchers and two missiles, and the shooter can fire from a seated or lying position.

The QN-201 economic multi-purpose missile is smaller than the QN-502C missile, belonging to a small and medium-sized missile with a range of 4 kilometers, and the appearance is more like an aviation rocket, with a diameter of 70 mm, a length of 1 100 mm, a total weight of 7 kg, and a mass of 9 kg of cartridge load, which is mainly equipped with QN506 fire support vehicles and WS-300 unmanned vehicles. The missile adopts infrared imaging angle measurement, three-point method guidance, and radio command guidance, and has a high strike accuracy, with a guidance accuracy of less than 1 meter. The warhead uses an armor-piercing and anti-personnel multifunctional warhead, with a penetration rate of more than 80% in 70 mm 60-degree homogeneous steel armor, an effective killing radius of more than 12 meters, and is also capable of penetrating reinforced concrete greater than 300 mm. The missile adopts image intelligent recognition and tracking technology, which can guide multiple missile attacks at the same time, and can hit up to 4 targets at the same time. In addition, the missile adheres to the design idea of "cost is combat effectiveness", does not use the most expensive seeker, and the whole bomb is cheap, realizing the original design intention of "using missiles as shells". Because the bomb uses a 70 mm diameter, it can not only be used on the vehicle of AutoNavi infrared, but also can use the American-made universal 70 mm rocket launch nest, mounted on the armed aircraft and other carrier aircraft, similar to the United States-guided "Hydra" rocket.

The QN-202 missile belongs to the category of miniature missiles. The total length of the bomb is less than 520 mm, the diameter of the bullet is 40 mm, and the weight of the bullet is only 12 kg, the individual launcher weighs 35 kg, the overall size is similar to the American "Lance" 40 mm caliber miniature missile, which is known as the world's smallest missile. The missile adopts a passive television imaging homing guidance laser semi-active homing guidance system, which can be launched by a single soldier or can be mounted on the WS-30 light unmanned armor, with a penetration rate of more than 80% to 50 mm thick homogeneous steel armor, and an effective killing radius of more than 6 meters, which can hit light military vehicles and near-ground soft targets at a range of 2000 meters. The missile can be launched from a hand-held launcher and, in the future, integrated into an American-made 40mm grenade launcher. A soldier can carry 6 miniature missiles on his back, as an infantry squad to support firepower, hit enemy snipers, fixed fire points, pickups and other targets, especially suitable for anti-terrorist operations, urban street warfare, guerrilla operations and other special operations.

Conclusion

In addition to the above-mentioned equipment, AutoNavi Infrared Group's products also include TS445, TS870, TS8100 series infrared thermal imaging sights, showing its strong military research and development capabilities. China's private enterprises have entered the field of military industry, which has been highly valued by foreign customers, and is of great significance for enriching the pedigree of China's first-class trade products and enhancing the competitiveness of China's first-class products. At the 2018 Zhuhai Air Show, the QN-506 fire support vehicle displayed for the first time can be said to be an instant hit, and in just one and a half days after the Zhuhai Air Show, military delegations from 13 countries in the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia have visited this "Internet celebrity" combat vehicle.

We believe that under the guidance of the banner of "military-civilian integration, innovation and development", a large number of private enterprises represented by AutoNavi Infrared will enter the military industry more deeply, and make due contributions to the development of China's national defense modernization with a more open mind, a more pragmatic attitude and a more efficient operation
