The YJ-62 (Chinese: 鹰击-62; pinyin: yingji-62; lit. 'eagle strike 62') is a Chinese subsonic land-attack^[1] and anti-ship cruise missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy.^[2]

Description

In a September 2014 article published in Joint Forces Quarterly, the YJ-62 is credited with a 210 kg (460 lb) warhead, a speed of Mach 0.6 – Mach 0.8 (735–980 km/h; 457–609 mph), and a sea-skimming terminal attack height of 7–10 m (23–33 ft); The missile has an inertial guidance system using GPS and BeiDou data, and an active terminal sensor.^[2] A 2017 China Maritime Studies Institute (CSMI) report credits the active radar seeker with an acquisition range of 22 nautical miles (41 km).^[3]

In 2015, the United States Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence considered the YJ-62 to have longer range than the 150 nautical miles (170 mi; 280 km) of the C-602 export version,^[4] Figures of at least 400 km have been given.^[5]^[3] The 2017 CSMI report notes that such long range suggests that the missile receives targeting from other platforms.^[3] YJ-62A is credited with a range of up to 400 km (250 mi; 220 nmi).^[2]

C-602

The C-602 is the export version of the YJ-62, claimed to have a range of 280 km, a 300 kg (660 lb) semi-armour-piercing warhead, and GPS guidance. The reduced range is in accordance with Missile Technology Control Regime restrictions.^[2]

The C-602 was revealed in September 2005,^[2] and displayed outside of China for the first time at the African Aerospace and Defence exhibition in 2006.^[6]

CM-602G

The CM-602G is a land-attack version of the C-602. It is advertised as having a range of 290 km (180 mi), a 480 kg (1,060 lb) penetrating blast/fragmentation warhead, and an inertial guidance system using GPS data which may be augmented to provide man-in-the-loop control.^[7]

The missile was revealed at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2012.^[7]

-The '''C-602''', also known as YJ-62, is a Chinese subsonic [[anti-ship missile]] that can also be used as a land attack cruise missile.
+==Description==
-C-602 made its public debut in China at the end of 2006 during the 6th [[Zhuhai]] Airshow, though the name begun first appear in 2005.  The missile is reportedly deployed onboard [[Type 052C destroyer]].  The subsonic missile has a designation of YJ-62, with YJ short for Ying Ji (Yingji, 鹰击), meaning Eagle Strike.  In addition to anti-shipping capability, the missile is also capable of land attack.  The missile has a maximum range in excess of {{convert|400|km}},<ref name="theepochtimes1"/> though the exact number is uncertain, but for the export version, the maximum range is reduced to {{convert|280|km}} to meet the international arms trade regulation which limits the maximum range below {{convert|300|km}}.  The maximum speed of the missile is greater than [[Mach number|Mach]] 0.9 but this speed is greatly reduced over the rugged terrain when used for land-attack missions.  The missile can be launched in Sea State 6 environment.  The cruising altitude over the ground can be as low as {{convert|30|m}} while the cruising altitude over the sea can be as low as {{convert|10|m}}.  During the terminal attack phase against ships, the altitude is further decreased to {{convert|7|m}} above sea level.  The missile is propelled by a turbojet engine with a solid fuel rocket booster weighing around {{convert|200|kg}}.

-The missile is equipped with a “mono-pulse frequency agile (active) radar seeker” with a maximum detection range in excess of {{convert|40|km}} and a maximum lock-on range of {{convert|30|km}}.  The sector of the scan of the seeker is ± 40 degrees.  For the midcourse flight, inertial guidance is used with the help of strap-down inertial measurement unit (IMU) and [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] for the export version, while domestic version also incorporated [[GLONASS]] and domestic navigational systems.  A variety of warhead could be adopted, and the fuse for the anti-ship version is “delayed electro-mechanical contact fuse”.  The mid-body wings which deploy following launch.  The engine inlet is mounted slightly forward of the cruciform tail fins.  The missile has incorporated the capability similar to the [[Boeing Harpoon]], so that it could abandon the original target and switch to more threatening ones should such threat arise, but it is not clear whether this capability in built-in like the Boeing Harpoon or achieved via data link, or a combination of both.  A new version of the missile with [[turbofan]] engine has already being completed and the submarine and air-launched version (tested on a version of [[Xian H-6]]) are also reported to be under development.  However, such reports have yet to be confirmed because many domestic Chinese sources have disputed the missile in the photo by claiming it might have been a cruise missile instead.  The missile was authorized for export by the Chinese government in 2005, and in order to comply with international regulations on arms export regarding missiles, the maximum range is reduced to 280&nbsp;km.
