The QN-202 (Chinese: QN202人员携行式单兵飞弹系统) is a Chinese man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) developed by Wuhan Global Sensor Technology Co., Ltd (Chinese: 武汉高德红外有限公司).[1][2][3][4]

History

The QN-202 was revealed in 2018. [5]

Micro missiles, such as FN-M, QN-202, and JK-1, were revealed at roughly the same time, indicating they were likely part of a Chinese military program.[6]

Design

The QN-202 missile features a fire-and-forget engagement mode[7] with infrared guidance seeker, allowing the user to seek cover immediately after launch.[8] It has multiple launcher options. One is a muzzle-loading concealable, lightweight launcher[9][10] with a pistol grip and a collapsible stock,[7] It also comes with a backpack that could store 6 micro missiles.[11] The second option is a shoulder-fired launcher with a more sophisicated fire control system.[6] The missile can also be integrated with vehicles.[8]

It has been compared to the Pike missile. The QN-202 is similar in size and weight but features fire-and-forget infrared tracking, instead of Pike's semi-active laser guidance.[12]
