Product Description

The HQ-16 missile weighs 650 kg, has a length of 5.2 m and a diameter of 0.34 m. It can intercept flying aerial targets at altitudes of 15 km to 18 km. The maximum interception range for aircraft is 40 km, between 3.5 km and 12 km for cruise missiles flying at 300 m/s. The manufacturer claims the single-shot kill probability is 85% against aircraft and 60% against cruise missiles. The missile has a speed of 1200 m/s.

The missile guidance system comprises inertial guidance and semi-active radar homing at the terminal phase. It was reported that the naval variant of the missile was designed to intercept sea-skimming missiles that can fly less than ten meters above the surface.

A typical land-based battery consists of one search radar vehicle and 3 guidance radar vehicles. A single guidance radar vehicle can control two to four launcher vehicles, each of which has six missiles ready to launch.

The search radar vehicle is equipped with a mast mounting an IBIS 150 S-band 3D PESA radar. When a target is detected, the search radar automatically performs IFF (Identification Friend-or-Foe), threat judgment, and flight path processing and provides target engagement information to the guidance radar. The search radar has a range of 140 km and can detect targets flying up to an altitude of 20 km. It can detect up to 144 targets and track 48 simultaneously.

The radar guidance vehicle is equipped with an L-band PESA that controls the missile launching and target illumination after the missile is fired. The radar has a range of 85 km and can detect up to 6 targets, track 4 simultaneously and provide fire control for 8 missiles.
