Airshow China 2016: CASC unsheathes its Hidden Blade lightweight missile system

So, basically an universal AA/AG launcher for the individual squad for defense against helo and light armor?
>Designated the Xiu Jian (Hidden Blade) lightweight multirole missile weapon system, it is designed primarily for use by dismounted troops and special forces to enable them to engage low flying aircraft such as helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as soft-skinned land platforms and structures. The company also claims that the missile is effective against lightly armoured vehicles.
>While development is still in its early stages and specifications are likely to evolve as work progresses, IHS Jane's understands from CASC that the Hidden Blade missile will measure approximately 690 mm long and 60 mm in diameter, with a launch weight of 4 kg.
>The missile is carried and fired from a lightweight plastic polymer tube launcher equipped with a photoelectric sight, deploying four short chord flip-out rectangular wings at mid-body immediately after being launched to stabilise it in flight and employing its four flip-out tailfins to steer it to engage aerial and surface threats up to 2 km and 3 km away respectively, with a minimum engagement range of 150 m for both modes.

>Guidance is provided by a photoelectric sensor, which is understood to employ a diffuse/proximity sensing technique, where transmitted radiation from the seeker's emitter must reflect off the target in order for detection and tracking to occur. However, while this method provides near immunity to background interference and jamming, the target must also be in clear view of the seeker's detection zone. As a result, it must be used against targets travelling in an environment with minimal background clutter.
>"Like its namesake, the Hidden Blade is designed to provide troops with a means of defending themselves against mobile targets in a compact and lightweight package, while being easily concealed so that they can spring a surprise against unsuspecting targets," a CASC spokesperson told IHS Jane's , adding that the system was successfully test fired in early 2016 and ready for production as soon as a customer is found.

Good Idea?
Sounds pretty COWADOOTY for me.

Alternatively, they also offer the new PF-11 LAW using a Overflight Top-Attack rocket to take out heavy armor with.

probably has an IR sensor facing downward to detonate the EFP when the rocket flies over the top of the target
>>
>>31890252
I dig it, though i wonder if it can truly be light enough to be mobile and cheap enough to be multipurpose

more cool shit form the airshow?

I wonder what warhead it would use.
Something that could kill a plane/helo isnt usually something that can kill an APC.

Maybe this:
http://www.janes.com/article/65202/airshow-china-2016-avic-unveils-sw-6-air-deployable-mini-uav
Basically a Helo-launched recon drone.
Z-11B uses it. And the Z-11B seems to be in service to the Chinese Armed Police/COIN specialists.

maybe instead of the same missile, the launcher system is able to use AA and AG missiles effectively?
>>
>>31891055
No, it is said that the missile itself is universal and can be used against both target types due to its seeker.

>>31891072
thats what I get for only reading half the text
that is interesting though
We Command and Conquer now

Do UAVs fly so low/large enough that a guy could see one and actually go "oh hey, I should go shoot that down?"

Combined with Exoskeleton.
CSAT Viper Suits soon.

>>31890916
HEDP with a proximity fuse, probably.

>>31891150
Probably even with a pre-fragmented sleeve around the HE-portion.

Sounds like complete gibberish
Most probably it is just iPhone camera with image tracking.

>>31891108
I'm half expecting the servos to spaz out and break the guy's legs when they try it on a real person.

Last airshow they have presented a predecessor.
It is actually not bad. The pneumatic servos have good reaction speed.

So a TOW 2B.

>>31891462
Yes, but as a LAW and replacement for the PF-89.
>>
>>31890297
RPG rounds rotate in flight. They also need control system stabilizing roll.

A Chinese Strela?
>>
>>31892445
Makes me think why the Russians arent doing an universal Strela as well. Bigger warhead, cheap ImIR seeker and somewhat reduced range.
That's basically the concept of the hidden sword launcher.
>>
>>31891302
Why would that happen? The only way an exoskeleton could do that is if it were built with a larger range of motion than the wearer, which wouldn't make any sense at all.

Russians can't into cameras. Especially thermals.

I wonder why.
It isnt rocket science.
And I wonder why they cant into drones.
