The introduction of Russian technology, the SD-10
Into the 1990s, with the developed countries, active radar-guided air-to-air missile in service, China has begun to develop a new generation of active radar-guided air-to-air missiles, Chinese Academy of air-to-air missiles in 1997 started to develop new missile SD-10. Taking into account the domestic technology base is still weak, and the introduction of the new missiles Russia 9B-1103M active radar seeker. 9B-1103M is Russia's AGAT Research Institute for the replacement of the first generation of R-77 9B-1 348 seeker development of new active radar seeker, improved signal processing capabilities, the computing speed to 50 million times / sec, memory improvement 64K, the detection range from 16 km to 25 km, instead of fiber optic gyroscope gyroscope of the latter, you can quickly warm-up, missile rapid transition from a state of readiness to launch state.
SD-10A further enhance missile performance
SD-10 in the development of succession to capture the strength of the projectile, bomb racks interference, completed in 1998 test-firing design finalized in 2005 and the first time in the year to fulfill the twin goals against the test, marking the domestic air-to-air missiles into the multi-target attack era. According to the size of overseas information on SD-10 missile length 3.51 m, 0.21 m in diameter, with a wingspan of 0.67 meters, launch weight of 180 kg, dual-thrust solid rocket motor, the maximum rate of fire 4M maximum range of 70 km. Performance of the AIM-120A missiles quite. SD-10 successfully developed, China will continue to improve and develop the success of the SD-10A air-to-air missiles, SD-10A improve the missile's ability to maneuver, while enhancing the strength of the missile body weight also increased to nearly 200 kg.
SD-10 active radar homing air-to-air missile is a new generation of Chinese Air Force Air Combat system an important part of the new century, the Chinese Air Force combat aircraft, airborne fire control radar performance has been greatly improved, with joint avionics system and glass cockpit, -2000 large AWACS air marshals, automated command guidance systems, data links have been successfully developed, and has formed a joint network operations, improve the combat capability of the Chinese Air Force to a new level, and to establish a complete network for the future The combat system has laid a solid foundation.
