YJ-62

The YJ-62 is a Chinese subsonic anti-ship cruise missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy.

Description
In a September 2014 article published in Joint Forces Quarterly, the YJ-62 is credited with a 210 kg. warhead, a speed of Mach 0.6-0.8, and a sea-skimming terminal attack height of 7–10 metres. The missile has an inertial guidance system using GPS and BeiDou data, and an active terminal sensor. YJ-62A is credited with a range of up to 400 km.

In lieu of official data, the United States Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence believes it is likely the YJ-62 has a longer range than the 150 nmi of the C-602, the export version.

The missile is deployed aboard Type 052C destroyers, and by coastal defence units using three-round transporter erector launchers.

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

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

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

The missile was revealed at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2012.
