PL-9C AAM made the hit probability is superior to the U.S. AIM-9L M
PL-9C-air missile developed by China’s third-generation infrared air to air missile system, the multiple infrared seeker has excellent ability to attack the whole, and to have effective anti-infrared countermeasures devices, Once target seeker lock, no matter what counter-measures, it will be hard to escape.
PL-9C with the radio proximity fuse, high-explosive warhead weighing 10 kg, length 2900 mm shells, bombs diameter of about 157 mm, with a wingspan of about 650 mm, the missile weighs 115 kg. Maximum speed of Mach 2, the system response time is 10 seconds; target search radar detection range is 18 km; the role of passive optical devices distance of 15 km, the laser range finder working range of 10 kilometers. Before the missile with the traditional duck-style rudder aerodynamic shape, including the former missile and the missile body after. Guided by the projectile before the tank and fuse compartments; after the warhead and missile engines.
seeker with a new programmable digital processor, the adoption of digital technology to improve the tracking of target recognition, background interference with a good anti-interference ability and labor, but also by changing the software procedures to deal with emerging sources of infrared interference.
PL-9C missile uses proportional guidance law, the guidance system used in advanced ahead of the bias circuit, the end of the missile flight, using ahead of the bias signal to the missile oriented target key position to improve the missile kill probability. The fragmentation warhead for the type, completely killing the target within 7 meters, the effective killing radius of 13 meters, the use of active radio proximity fuze, the Kill roughly 80%. For the two thrust propulsion rocket engine, the missile is greater than the maximum speed of 2.1 Mach, altitude of 0-21 km combat. According to the assessment of Air Force officials, they think Charlie-9C if used in conjunction with the helmet sight, the reaction rate, the hit probability is superior to the U.S. military’s AIM-9L / M air to air missiles.
PL-9C is the first armed forces of common missiles. In Perak-9C on the basis of empty shells, but also the development of missile systems, can be mounted on ground vehicles and ships, as the air defense weapon. Mainly for low-altitude short-range defense, can be used for field air defense and air defense to ground against low-altitude and low altitude aircraft and armed helicopters invasion. Perak-9C-air missile system also can be composed of a variety of anti-aircraft gun missile air defense system, as well as by a fire control system composed of missile launchers with three separate air defense weapon system, or a trinity of self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system .
