Air-to-ground Weapon System

The FT series precision guided bombs consist of 500kg (FT-1, FT-2 and FT-12), 250kg (FT-3/3A and FT-6/6A), 100kg (FT-7, FT-7A), 50kg (FT-9), and less than 25kg (FT-10 and FT-8) aerial bombs with a maximum delivering range of 150km and an accuracy of up to 1.5 m by adopting the combined guidance technology. The bombs are mainly used for attacking fixed or low-speed moving targets on the ground or water. With the features of long delivering range, high accuracy, all-weather, day and night, fire-and-forget and high cost effectiveness, FT series PGB can be carried by bombers, attackers, fighters and UAVs. Additionally, unguided bomb could be upgraded to precision guided bomb with high reliability and low cost.
Air-to-ground small-sized series missiles are composed of AR-1, AR-2, TL-1, TL-2, and TL-3 which can be mounted on UAV. They have characteristics of low-cost, small-size, high accuracy and can be loaded on surveillance & attack integrated UAV.

FT-9

OVERVIEW

FT-9 is an air-to-ground precision guided bomb developed for light and heavy targets such as vehicle, missile launching device, air defense system, personnel, etc. FT-9 possesses many advantages of small size, light weight, high accuracy and low cost. It is developed for operational requirements of high striking precision, small collateral damage and economic affordability and represents the trend of precision guided bomb. FT-9 assembles with small diameter blast / fragment warhead. It can be carried by UAV or aircraft.

FT-9 PGB has been procured by many friendly countries and transfered its technology to some states.

MAJOR FEATURES

  • High Accuracy
  • All-weather, Day and Night
  • Light Weight
  • Fire-and-forget
  • High Cost-effective Ratio

SYSTEM COMPOSITION

FT-9 consists of warhead, fuze, guidance and control cabin, and can apply TV/IR or semi-activate laser seeker. The main electronic devices are inside the guidance and control cabin, including flight controller, inertial measurement unit (IMU), GPS unit, rudder and thermal battery, etc. FT-9 uses blast/fragment warhead and radio proximity /contact electronic fuze.
