D'après un article de China News et un autre de l'Académie chinoise de cartographie et de surveillance, cette dernière a testé avec succès 3 systèmes de télédétection de technologie différente sur une plateforme de drone qui a volé pendant 26h d'affilé sans atterrir.

Le 1er système est basé sur un système miniaturisé de POS et la fonction de texto de Beidou-2, le 2ème sur un système FCS par GNSS bi-fréquences, et le dernier sur un système à mono-fréquence.

Les 6 essais de longue durée s'inscrivent dans le cadre de 2 sous-projets du Programme 863, sur le développement des technologies de télédétection basant sur Beidou / GPRS / Réseau 3G, et sur la protection des îles lointaines.

La Chine livre au Soudan du Sud 1200 missiles ATM de type HJ-73D.

South Sudan takes delivery of Chinese ATGWs

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
09 July 2014

South Sudan has taken delivery of a large shipment of Chinese infantry weapons that includes anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), according to shipping documents obtained by Bloomberg and passed on to IHS Jane's .

The documentation said the shipment was carried by the Cosco cargo ship Feng Huang Song (IMO: 9416757). IHS Maritime ship-tracking data shows the ship left China's Zhanjiang port on 16 May and arrived in Mombasa in Kenya on 7 June. The shipment would have then be moved overload to the South Sudanese capital Juba.

The documentation lists 100 HJ-73D ATGM launders, 200 batteries, 1,200 missiles, nine simulators, and spares and says this part of the consignment is worth USD14.5 million.

The HJ-73 is the Chinese copy of the 9K11 Malyutka (AT-3 'Sagger'), which was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. The HJ-73D variant has a tandem shaped-charge warhead that is designed to penetrate tanks that are protected with explosive reactive armour (ERA).

It also has semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) guidance rather than the manual command to line of sight (MCLOS) system used on the original Malyutka, which required the operator to steer the missile to the target using a joystick.

South Sudan's military was not previously known to be a user of any ATGWs and its acquisition of the entry-level HJ-73 is probably a reaction to neighbouring Sudan fielding more T-72 tanks fitted with ERA near the disputed region regions. Ukraine delivered 110 T-72M1 tanks to Sudan between 2010 and 2012, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

The arrival of the ATGWs will be a concern for Khartoum, which routinely accuses Juba of arming its rebel groups. One of those groups, the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), released photographs in January showing its fighters next to a destroyed Sudanese T-72 with ERA.

The rest of Chinese arms consignment is worth USD17 million consists of: 9,754 Type 56 assault rifles with 20 million 7.62x39 mm rounds; 319 Type 80 machine guns with 2 million 7.62x54 mm rounds; 2,394 40 mm "add-on" grenade launchers with 20,000 rounds of BGL2 anti-personnel grenades; 319 Type 69-1 rocket propelled grenade launchers with 40,000 high-explosive anti-tank rounds; and 660 NP42 pistols with two million rounds of 9x19 mm ammunition.

The 40x46 mm BGL2 grenades are used with Norinco's LG2, which is an under-barrel grenade launcher that looks similar to the M203.

Report Reveals Chinese Military Developing New Scramjet-Powered Hypersonic Missile

Disclosure follows China’s earlier test of Wu-14 high-speed glide vehicle

BY: Bill Gertz
July 9, 2014 5:00 am

China’s military is working on a jet-powered hypersonic cruise missile in addition to an advanced high-speed glide warhead that was tested earlier this year.

A Chinese technical journal disclosed new details of research on what China’s defense researchers are calling a hypersonic cruise vehicle.

A line drawing of the scramjet-powered vehicle shows that the concept being studied for eventual construction is nearly identical to an experimental National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scramjet vehicle called the X-43.

Publication of details of work on the powered hypersonic cruise vehicle indicates China is pursuing a second type of ultra-fast maneuvering missile capable of traveling at speeds of up to Mach 10—nearly 8,000 miles per hour. Such speeds create huge technical challenges for weapons designers because of the strain on materials and the difficulty of control at high velocities.

Large numbers of Chinese military writings in recent years have focused on hypersonic flight. However, few have addressed scramjet powered hypersonic flight.

The Washington Free Beacon first disclosed Jan. 13 that China has conducted the first test of an unpowered hypersonic glide vehicle that U.S. intelligence agencies believe will be used to deliver strategic nuclear warheads through U.S. missile defenses.

The January test of the Wu-14 hypersonic vehicle signaled the beginning of what analysts say is the start of a new high-technology arms race to build high speed maneuvering strike vehicles.

The United States is developing both scramjet-powered and glide-hypersonic missiles. Russia’s government has made development of hypersonic missiles a priority.

The Chinese report outlines in technical detail how a scramjet-powered cruise vehicle operates at speeds greater than Mach 5 and discusses how to integrate airframe design with scramjet propulsion.

A scramjet is an engine that uses supersonic airflow to compress and combust fuel, creating a highly efficient propulsion system with few parts.

The report analyzed “preliminary design methods for airframe/engine integrative configuration.”

The analysis “may serve as a basis for quick preliminary design and performance evaluation of airframe/engine integrative configuration” for a future Chinese hypersonic cruise vehicle, the report said.

The scramjet cruise vehicle was described in a technical military journal called Command Control & Simulation. The article was published by the 716 Research Institute of the state-run China Shipbuilding Industry Corp., China’s largest maker of warships, submarines, and torpedoes.

The study by China’s major naval weapons builder is a sign the PLA may be considering the strike vehicle for use against U.S. aircraft carriers and warships as part of what the Pentagon calls “anti-access, area denial” weapons.

China’s hypersonic weapons are among the most secret programs within the Chinese military, along with anti-satellite weapons and cyber warfare tools. However, China’s Defense Ministry confirmed the test asserting that it was “normal” scientific experiment and not aimed at any foreign state.

Military experts said the disclosure of the scramjet cruise missile is unusual and part of China’s large-scale high-technology arms buildup.

“China long ago identified hypersonics as a critical future military technology and has invested heavily in its development for future weapons,” said Rick Fisher, with the International Assessment and Strategy Center. “The old Bush administration concept of Prompt Global Strike using hypersonic non-nuclear warheads may be dormant in Washington, but it is very much alive and flourishing in Beijing.”

Fisher said a scramjet vehicle would have advantages over the Wu-14 glide vehicle, including better-sustained speeds, some maneuvering, and a depressed trajectory that would complicate efforts by U.S. missile defenses to intercept the ultra-fast maneuvering strike missile.

China’s Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has been leading the development of a hypersonic scramjet engine test platform similar to the decade-old Pentagon-NASA X-43, Fisher said.

Fisher said the Chinese report does not make clear whether China is concentrating on scramjet power for future weapons. However, it could signal that researchers have made advances in such engines and materials.

Larry Wortzel, a former China-based military intelligence officer, said Chinese hypersonic arms are what Beijing calls “assassins’ mace” weapons that will give China a strategic edge in any future conflict with the United States.

“China is continuing with a number of programs to develop what Beijing considers to be ‘assassins’ mace’ weapons that defeat conventional defenses, including these hypersonic strike vehicles,” Wortzel said in an email. “The United States must move forward with its airborne and ship-borne laser programs and electromagnetic guns if we are to be able to counter China’s new weapons.”

U.S. hypersonic missile programs have been limited by the federal defense spending crisis that has constrained advanced weapons research.

Congress approved $70.7 million for an Army hypersonic missile program—an amount that is considered far less than what both China and Russia are investing in hypersonic arms.

Alan R. Shaffer, principal deputy assistant defense secretary for research and engineering, told a defense industry conference that a U.S. scramjet-powered hypersonic prototype, the X-51, is a leading choice for a military system of conventional rapid precision strike.

“We, the U.S., do not want to be the second country to understand how to have controlled scramjet hypersonics,” Shaffer said.

The Air Force Research Laboratory announced July 3 it will set up a new High Speed Experimentation Branch to study hypersonics at Arnold Air Force Base.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said July 3 that Russian missile manufacturers must master the technology for both precision-guided and hypersonic weapons. Moscow has set a goal of 2020 to build its first hypersonic missile prototype.

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA), in a strategic review published last year, stated that new U.S. hypersonic weapons and other nations’ development of hypersonic arms pose a major threat to China’s national security.

The review said new weapons capable of striking land from space will have a “serious impact on national security.”

Among the weapons being developed by foreign powers, the Chinese military said, are “near space craft, spacecraft, and transatmospheric vehicles.”

It was the first time China mentioned the threat posed by the new generation of hypersonic threats in a public document. The report, “Strategic Review 2013,” was published by the PLA think tank Center for National Defense Policy.

It warned that “the role of space power is changing from information support, to space command operations and space-to-ground attacks.”

“The United States is intensifying the construction of its space confrontation capabilities and building a rapid responsive space system,” the report said, adding that the shift has begun from using space for support to ground attacks.

The report noted the U.S. development of near-space strike vehicles, including the X-51, a scramjet powered hypersonic vehicle developed by Boeing, the HTV-2, a glide strike vehicle, and the X-37 space plane launched atop a rocket. The PLA review called these weapons “new measures of power” and stated that they were “a bid to eliminate the boundary between air and space.”

Lee Fuell, a technical intelligence specialist at the Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center, told a congressional hearing in January that China’s hypersonic glide vehicle was a ballistic missile-launched system that glides and maneuvers to its target at speeds up to Mach 10 (about 7,611 mph).

Fuell said U.S. intelligence agencies believe that the glide vehicle is “associated with [China’s] nuclear deterrent forces.” Hypersonic strike vehicles also could be used for conventional precision-guided strikes, he said.

A Chinese-language version of article is available from the Canada-based Oriprobe information services.

S-400: Pékin pourrait être le premier acheteur (Moscou)



Pékin pourrait devenir le premier acheteur étranger du système russe de missiles sol-air S-400, a annoncé jeudi le chef de l'administration présidentielle russe Sergueï Ivanov, en visite en Chine.
"Il y a de fortes chances que Pékin devienne le premier à pouvoir l'acheter", a déclaré le haut responsable.
Le S-400 Triumph (code Otan: SA-21 Growler) est un système de missiles sol-air de grande et moyenne portée destiné à abattre tout type de cible aérienne: avions, drones et missiles de croisière hypersoniques. Le système est capable de tirer simultanément 72 missiles sur 36 cibles éloignées à une distance de 400 km.
En avril dernier, le président russe Vladimir Poutine a estimé nécessaire d'augmenter la production de systèmes antiaériens modernes en Russie en vue de les fournir aux alliés et partenaires de Moscou.
