China provides better view of CM-802AKG stand-off missile at IDEX

Robert Hewson
* Abu Dhabi

China's Precision Machinery Import Export Corporation (CPMIEC) has exhibited the CM-802AKG stand-off land-attack missile for the first time outside China. The new precision-guided weapon has probably already been fielded by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), using the reported local designation YJ-83KH, but potential export customers have previously been shown only models - and only at events within China.

At IDEX 2013 in Abu Dhabi in mid-February CPMIEC displayed a large image of a CM-802AKG missile carried by a Xian JH-7A attack aircraft, operating with the China Flight Test Establishment (CFTE). The opaque cover for the missile's imaging infra-red (IIR) seeker is clearly visible. The aircraft is fitted with a datalink pod that is also used in conjunction with China's KD-88 air-to-surface weapon, indicating that both missiles have a man-in-the-loop targeting and retargeting capability.

The CM-802AKG is a derivative of the radar-guided CM-802AK anti-ship missile, produced by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. Because of its new IIR seeker, it is optimised for use against land targets, including re-locatable mobile targets, while still retaining an anti-ship capability. The turbojet-powered missile has a maximum launch range of 230 km but can be controlled by another aircraft at 280 km from its intended target. The 670 kg CM-802AKG is fitted with a 285 kg penetrating warhead.

The CM-802AKG was first seen in public at the November 2010 Airshow China. Until its IDEX appearance it had only been displayed at Airshow China and only as a mock-up. CPMIEC did not explicitly identify the CM-802AKG in its presentation at IDEX but the missile's emergence there indicates that the weapon is now a fully fledged export product.
