The Sky Dragon medium-range surface-to-air missile system is the latest
area air defence missile system developed by Norinco with a maximum
firing range of 50 km.
Main missions of Sky Dragon include area, essential
and field air defence. It can effectively intercept medium, low and
ultra-low altitude aerial targets, i.e. fixed-wing aircrafts,
helicopters and UAVs, as well as engage and kill incoming cruise
missiles.
Each Sky Dragon battery consists of one IBIS150 3D target designation
radar, one fire distribution vehicle and 3 to 6 launching vehicles
(carrying 4 missiles each). In this configuration, Sky Dragon is capable
of engaging up to 12 different targets by firing 12 individually
targeted missiles within a matter of seconds.
Using a combat net radio, the launchers can be located 5 km from the
fire distribution vehicle. Sky Dragon is fully mobile and can be ready
to fire at a new location 15 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop.
Each Sky Dragon battery can operate autonomously, using local aerial
situational information provided by the IBIS150 radar, as well as
intelligence received from superior command & control systems.
Having been upgraded to include intelligence fusion and situation
synthesis equipment, the fire distribution vehicle can also direct two
other Sky Dragon batteries to engage cooperatively in
battalion-operation mode.
