The new exoskeletons, tanks and ATVs that China will bring to a future battle: The Ground Gear of the Zhuhai Airshow
Hidden Blade, a CASC offering, is a 60mm caliber, 4kg antiair/Anti-armor portable missile. It has a reported range of 2km against aerial targets like helicopters and UAVs, and a 3km against ground targets. Its dual use 500 g shaped warhead creates a high speed metal slug that can punch through walls, or the light armor of AFVs and attack helicopters. Hidden Blade uses a rather novel targeting system; the launcher emits electromagnetic energy to'paint' the target, so the missile's electro-optical sensor can lock onto it. While the use of a wide spectrum of electromagnetic energy renders the missile highly resistant to laser and infrared jammers, the target must be out in the open to avoid defusing the electromagnetic energy against background clutter. Of note, this tiny missile would enable a basic infantry squad to gain organic firepower against 21st century threats like drones, as well as enemy fortifications.
