HQ-11 is a mobile short-to-medium range combined air defense missile and gun system designed for terminal air defense. Designated as the "universal terminal defence system" in Zhuhai Airshow 2022.[1]
An export version, FM-3000,[2] was unveiled in 2014.[3][4]
Description
[edit]The HQ-11 terminal defense system consists of a missile launcher vehicle, LD-3000 (Type 1130) close-in weapon system and a radar surveillance vehicle. The carrier vehicle of the missile launcher is an 8×8 wheeled transporter erector launcher (TEL), which is fitted with eight square canisters as vertical launch cells.[1][5]
The engagement range is 30 kilometres (19 mi) against aircraft and 20 kilometres (12 mi) against missiles. Each air defense battery has a rotating rotary phased-array radar and four launch vehicles and can handle 32 different targets simultaneously.[6][7] Guidance system for the missile included inertial guidance, command guidance, and terminal active radar homing.[3]
The HQ-11 is meant to replace HQ-6A air defense system with better target engagement capability, as the latter is not armed for increased threats from missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield. The HQ-6A system has three vehicles: a canted 4-cell launcher vehicle with HQ-6D missiles, a close-in weapon system (CIWS) vehicle with a 6-barrel LD-2000 anti-air gun, and a search vehicle with mechanical radars. The HQ-11 system reduced the formation to two vehicles; the primary vehicle combines a more responsive 8-cell vertical launch system with onboard active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and air surveillance control room, and the secondary vehicle is equipped with an 11-barrel LD-3000 CIWS gun. All components of the HQ-11 system are mounted on the Taian 5450B chassis.[8]
