QW missile
The QW-series (simplified Chinese: 前卫; traditional Chinese: 前衛; pinyin: Qian Wei) are man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) developed by the People's Republic of China.
The QW-1 (NATO reporting name: CH-SA-7) is the initial version. It is likely a copy or derivative of the Soviet 9K38 Igla-1 MANPAD.
The system was unveiled in 1994.
The QW-3 uses semi-active homing.
The QW-18 (NATO reporting name: CH-SA-11) is a new version of the Qianwei series. It is an all-weather MANPADS system. It uses a dual-band passive infrared seeker, the target plume and skinning two heat detection. The QW-18A features electric-servo control actuators to increase guidance and flight characteristics.
QW-19 is an upgrade of QW-18, featuring a new digital seeker and a contact-proximity fuse with four control fins (instead of two on QW-18). It supports initial guidance mode, and the shooter can engage the targets by directly aiming.
