The Peoples Republic will begin development of an advanced series of missiles to combat an evolving spectrum of global threats.

The Tiānshàng (heavenly)will be designed to combat the emergent space threat. (Intended as a high altitude intercepter capable of functioning as an ASAT or ASV (Anti Space Vehicle) system.

The Hǎiyáng (ocean)will be a next generation evolution of the DF-21 and DF-26 series of Anti Ship missiles. Already the worlds fastest missile, the Hǎiyáng will incorporate next generation technologies to improve the PK of the missile in an ever evolving sea theatre.

The Kōngqì(air) will be an evolution of existing Chinese air to air missile systems. Intended to work with the new H-20 bomber and the latest generation of domestic Chinese fighter aircraft. This will include an multi mode seeker system incorporating the latest in advanced computing, sensor fusion and predictive targeting and the latest rocket and jet propulsion technologies.

The Jǐngguān (landscape) will be a multi aspect cruise missile family. The first in the family will prioritize speed over range, utilizing evolved, miniaturized derivatives of the WS-10J and when complete, the WS-19 engines. Meeting the need for a fast, near field strike missile. While the second in the family of missiles will utilize the same engines, guidance and avionics, with a focus on range. These missiles will have a longer range, however, endurance comes at a cost, and will have a significantly reduced speed. Meeting the need for a modern cruise missile.

Funding for this program will be $75 bn over 5 years of R&D with an additional $10bn being provided to NORINCO for the opening of 2 facilities upon completion of R&D to manufacture these new systems.
