FL-2000

The FL-2000(V) short-range light air defense missile weapon system has a maximum combat distance 5000 meters. FL-2000 (V) first appeared at the 2002 Zhuhai Air Show. At the 5th Zhuhai Airshow in 2004, the FL-2000(V) attracted the attention of many visitors. This was the first time that the FL-2000 (V) short-range light air defense missile weapon system has been presented to everyone in physical form. The huge family of FL-2000 includes different launch platforms such as FLS-1, FLG-1, FLV-1, different combinations, and various models of different missile systems. The FL-2000 vehicle-mounted short-range light air defense missile weapon system was displayed by Aerospace Science and Industry at the 2010 Zhuhai Air Show.

The "FL-2000C light anti-aircraft missile system" uses the "warriors" SUV platform, eight QW-2 shoulder-portable air defense missiles in two launching boxes.

The FL-2000 (V) short-range light air defense missile weapon system is characterized by independent air situation, all-weather, high-maneuverability combat capabilities, and can accompany the protected target ( command headquarters , other key protections) Equipment and units, etc.), can operate in fixed-point positions or in motion, and can quickly transfer and enter new combat positions. The main combat targets of FL-2000 (V) are fixed-wing aircraft , helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles , and cruise missiles flying at low and ultra-low altitudes . The weapon system has strong anti-jamming capabilities, good passability, and can search for targets and conduct independent operations in between. Through modular design and the combination of multiple modes, FL-2000 (V) can become a weapon system that combines ship-borne, land- vehicle, and artillery, in order to better meet the needs of many different missions.

The effective range of the individual shoulder- launched air defense missile is between 500 and 6000 meters, the attack height is between 10 and 3,500 meters, and its combat altitude reaches 10 meters. The missile mainly undertakes field air defense tasks, and the missile system is suitable for field accompanying air defense and position air defense. It can be used to attack low-altitude, ultra-low-altitude intrusion armed helicopters, ground attack aircraft , unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and other aerial targets. It has excellent detection performance, guidance accuracy and night combat performance. In addition, the individual shoulder-launched air defense missile also uses a brand-new infrared anti-jamming technology, which can effectively counter the interference of various artificial infrared jammers and artificial infrared decoy bombs. The missile’s guidance system has better performance and can attack low-altitude air targets in all directions. The missile’s anti-jamming capability is strong, and it has the ability to be ignored after launch. These combat capabilities will also greatly improve the combatants’ battlefield survivability. The collateral damage is reduced to a minimum.

The missile has been improved to achieve vehicle-mounted, and can be equipped on vehicles and ships as a low-altitude defense. The missile system can be used as an air weapon and can be launched as it enters. The missile system is suitable for field air defense and position air defense, and can intercept gunship helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and other targets. It can be equipped with laser-emitting semi-active homing missiles and various infrared portable missiles, which increase the range and height of the missile, thereby enhancing the best effectiveness of the weapon system as a whole. It has strong versatility and development. It has received widespread attention from the international market for its dexterity, mobility, and strong concealment.

In addition, this kind of missile has been innovatively transformed by the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation and combined with small-caliber antiaircraft artillery to form an "air defense missile" with Chinese characteristics and a combination of missile and artillery. It is a "precision hit" and "fire-net interception." The new darling of air defense. The artillery combined air defense missile weapon system is a comprehensive air defense weapon system developed with the development of air defense struggle. It is carefully designed and manufactured to meet the needs of modern air defense operations. It is composed of a command and control vehicle, 4-8 antiaircraft guns and a missile launch system. Optional gun sight radar to increase the air condition early warning capability. Its main combat targets are cruise missiles flying at subsonic speeds and aircraft flying at low and ultra-low altitudes. This system is an integrated command and control system with high combat effectiveness.

FL-2000 (V) is a mobile, flexible weapon system. Independent operations and multi-vehicle joint operations can also form battle groups of various levels under the command of the command system to conduct cluster or network operations. FL-2000 (V) organically integrates search radar, photoelectric tracking, and weapon systems into a whole, capable of independent operations, reducing the probability of detection, and mentioning survivability. In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that, in the event of battle damage or other special circumstances of the FL-2000 (V), combatants can remove their shoulder-mounted missiles and launch them manually. FL-2000 (V) is equipped with a monopulse search radar, a set of photoelectric tracking and ranging device, communication, power supply and other systems. Compared with the previously published models and pictures , a GPS antenna has been added to the actual product. Used for the positioning and orientation of weapon systems. The FL-2000 (V) system relies on a search radar to detect targets. The radar can find targets 18KM away, and then transmit the target information to the photoelectric command system. The photoelectric tracking system uses mature products commonly used by the three services, consisting of three channels of television , thermal imaging, and laser ranging, and has all-weather combat capabilities. The laser ranging channel has been improved to a certain extent and can also guide semi-active laser-guided air defense missiles such as QW-3, which expands the types of weapons used. The ability to use a variety of different types of shoulder-fired missiles at home and abroad is also a major feature of FL-2000 (V). FL-2000 (V) provides a general weapon system platform through a good modular design, which can meet the needs of different users.

FL-2000 (V) also has its own weaknesses. The combat range of the entire system is relatively small. When infrared guided missiles are used at the same time, the FL-2000 (V) does not have the ability to attack multiple targets due to the limitation of infrared guided missiles . The heat source formed by the first missile engine will Interfering with the work of the seeker of the secondary missile, the interval between the launch of the two missiles must be more than 5 seconds. Therefore, in the case of single-vehicle combat, multiple missiles cannot be launched at the same time to increase the probability of destruction. The author has an immature idea here, whether it is possible to mix infrared-guided missiles and semi-active laser-guided missiles. In combat, first launch infrared-guided missiles and then launch semi-active laser-guided missiles. The seeker of the latter is not affected by infrared. The influence of the heat source of the projectile engine. Moreover, due to the high speed of semi-active laser-guided missiles, by controlling the launch interval time, two missiles can reach the target at the same time, increasing the probability of destruction. At the same time, the missile system adopts different working modes, which can greatly improve the FL-2000 ( V) Anti-interference ability makes the enemy impossible to defend. Of course, the modern air defense system is no longer the era of fighting alone. It is necessary to form a full-airspace, multi-level echelon air defense network . Various weapon systems perform their duties in this system. FL-2000 (V) relies on the powerful independent combat capabilities and flexible combat methods are bound to gain a place in the air defense system.
