China reveals new microwave weapons at Zhuhai Airshow

At the Airshow China, held in Zhuhai, Beijing made a substantial leap in the development of high-power microwave weapons, revealing at least three distinct systems.

Among these, the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation presented a system mounted on a high-mobility off-road chassis, highlighting China’s advancements in directed-energy technologies for defense purposes.

The exhibition also featured two other types of Chinese microwave weapons, one mounted on a high-mobility all-terrain chassis and another on the Type 625 anti-aircraft gun platform. Analysts noted the possibility that these systems may be designed to work in coordination with other platforms, such as the Type 625 in future engagements.

High-power microwave (HPM) weapons offer several advantages, particularly in countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). One key strength of these weapons is their rapid response capability. Unlike conventional systems, HPM weapons are not significantly affected by environmental conditions and can operate effectively throughout the day. Their speed of action and adaptability make them ideal for responding to fast-moving and unpredictable aerial threats.



Another notable advantage is their wide area of attack. The systems showcased at the airshow featured relatively large transmission antenna calibers, with high instantaneous power and significant target engagement areas. Importantly, these systems do not require precise targeting, making them particularly suited for engaging swarms of small UAVs and tackling cluster-style threats.

In terms of economic efficiency, HPM weapons also stand out. The cost per use is relatively low, and the weapons can be quickly re-targeted after an initial discharge, making them a cost-effective option for counter-UAV missions. Additionally, HPM systems produce no explosions or shrapnel during deployment, significantly reducing the risk of collateral damage. This characteristic makes them highly suitable for use in densely populated urban environments, where minimizing unintended damage is crucial.

China’s unveiling of these microwave weapon systems underscores the country’s growing investment in advanced defense technologies, particularly those aimed at neutralizing emerging aerial threats such as UAVs.

中国兵器工业集团有限公司的 SH16A 型 155mm 新一代火炮在 2024 中国航展首次公开展出。
这一型火炮的口径是 52 倍 155 毫米,能够对几十公里外的目标实现精确打击。最为重要的是,这型火炮是无人、全自动化操作的,能够通过下方的指挥舱,实现一键精准操作,还能够实现远程遥控。
炮塔采用模块化设计,能够快速的更换弹舱,来实现弹药的补给,同时装弹量也是非常大的。此外在下方炮塔的上方,还有一个小型的炮塔,这是 30 毫米口径的轻 30 火炮(遥控武器站),主要针对的是一些轻型的目标。

底盘方面,这一型火炮采用的是新一代的 8x8 的轮式底盘,机动性能非常强,能够实现原地掉头。因为其底盘的承载力比较强,所以上方能够搭载重型的火炮,也能够采用防护性能比较好的防弹装甲。

China Ordnance Corporation’s SH16A 155mm new generation artillery was publicly displayed for the first time at the 2024 China Air Show.

The caliber of this type of artillery is 52 times 155 mm, and it can achieve precise strikes on targets dozens of kilometers away. The most important thing is that this type of artillery is unmanned and fully automated. It can achieve precise one-button operation through the command cabin below, and can also achieve remote control.

The turret adopts a modular design, which can quickly replace the bomb bay to supply ammunition, and the ammunition loading capacity is also very large. In addition, above the lower turret, there is a small turret, which is a 30 mm caliber light 30 artillery (remotely controlled weapon station), mainly aimed at some light targets.

In terms of chassis, this type of artillery uses a new generation 8x8 wheeled chassis, which has very strong maneuverability and can make a U-turn on the spot. Because its chassis has a relatively strong bearing capacity, it can carry heavy artillery on top, and can also use bulletproof armor with better protection performance.

China debuts new SH16A artillery system

Nov 12, 2024


The China North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco) has publicly unveiled its new generation SH16A 155mm artillery system at the Airshow China in Zhuhai.

The system’s first public appearance showcased its capabilities, including an unmanned turret, automated operation, and its new VN-23 8×8 wheeled chassis, marking a significant evolution from its predecessor.

The SH16A artillery is an upgrade from the earlier SH16 model, which was previously mounted on a 6×6 truck chassis and presented at an earlier airshow. The new version, mounted on the VN-23, emphasizes both speed and versatility, with capabilities for remote control shooting. According to Norinco, this artillery system was developed with export in mind.

One of the standout features of the SH16A is its extended firing range. Using rocket-assisted projectiles, the system is capable of achieving a maximum range of 53 kilometers, providing considerable reach for battlefield engagement. This capability enhances its potential value for international buyers looking for a modern, long-range artillery solution that can adapt to a variety of combat scenarios.

The SH16A’s unmanned turret and automated features are part of China’s broader push towards increased automation and technology-driven solutions in modern artillery warfare. The combination of the VN-23 8×8 wheeled chassis, which offers improved mobility, and the automated firing system is aimed at making the SH16A a highly adaptable and efficient artillery piece for diverse environments.



Norinco’s emphasis on export for the SH16A reflects China’s growing strategy of targeting international arms markets, particularly in regions looking to modernize their artillery capabilities with affordable, yet advanced systems.
