This morning, the 13th China Air Show officially opened at the Zhuhai International Air Show Center.

This year's air show features 700 companies and thousands of exhibits from approximately 40 countries and regions, both online and offline; The indoor exhibition area is 100000 square meters, the outdoor exhibition area is 360000 square meters, and the ground equipment dynamic demonstration area is 120000 square meters. The number of exhibition halls at this year's air show has increased from 8 in the previous edition to 11.

On the first day of the air show, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation brought more than 170 aerospace technology achievements to the audience, distributed in the three exhibition areas of aerospace, defense, and aerospace technology applications. A series of "high, precision, and cutting-edge" aerospace high-tech exhibits showcased China's new achievements in aerospace technology and defense equipment construction to the world.

The "Star Gathering" in the Aerospace Exhibition Area showcased the "protagonists" who participated in China's major national engineering tasks such as manned spaceflight, Mars exploration, lunar exploration, and the Beidou Navigation System.

The new generation of manned spacecraft test ship return module developed for China's future manned lunar exploration and other mission requirements has made its debut. The Tianwen-1 Mars probe, which "lives" on Mars, has made a brilliant appearance. A group of "star exhibits" represented by the 3D model of the Chinese space station combination and the Chang'e-5 lunar probe have been unveiled to the audience for the first time. The Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system constellation is on display, and China's first digital lunar platform system simulates lunar exploration missions on site.

The stage of China's aerospace industry is as big as the rocket carrying capacity

At this year's air show, models of 10 types of carrier rockets, including the new generation manned carrier rocket and heavy carrier rocket, were showcased, and the Long March rocket "family" with 400 launches is about to make a stunning debut.

In addition, the "Jielong" series of solid launch vehicles, communication, navigation, high-resolution, and remote sensing satellites aimed at the commercial aerospace market, as well as China's first solar exploration satellite planned to be launched this year, will also be exhibited together.

Aerospace Science and Technology Group is exhibiting a batch of new and family oriented military trade products in the defense exhibition area.

The M20A/B ground to ground missile weapon system consists of missiles, launch vehicles, storage and transport launch devices, and transport transfer vehicles. As the most advanced military trade product of the group company, it will make its first public appearance;

The "Transformers" LY-70 air defense missile weapon system in the field of air defense will also be exhibited for the first time, demonstrating its interception capability to deal with various air threats.

In the aerospace technology application exhibition area, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group focuses on showcasing five major fields: new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, high-end equipment, new materials, and smart industries, demonstrating its contributions to serving the national economic construction.

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation's seven major systems, including air defense system, coastal defense system, ground strike system, unmanned combat system, early warning and surveillance security system, commercial space system, command and communication, and support system, as well as HQ-9BE air defense missile, ground to air missile FK-2000, CM-802B anti-ship missile, YJ-12E multi platform supersonic missile, BP-12B missile weapon system, AG-300 series multi-purpose air to ground missile, "Falcon", "Sky Eagle", "Sea Eagle", "Arrow Chaser", "Star", "Cloud" and other 113 equipment exhibits, were showcased with great weight.

In the air defense system, the full airspace air defense system exhibited at this air show includes HQ-9BE long-range air defense missile weapon system, FD-2000 medium and long-range air defense missile weapon system, FM-3000 medium range air defense missile weapon system, HQ-17AE short-range air defense missile weapon system, FK-3, FK-2000 ground to air missile weapon system, FL-3000N ship self-defense weapon system, as well as portable air defense missile weapon systems such as QW-12 and QW-19.

The coastal defense system exhibits a complete maritime defense system that integrates command, control, communication, intelligence, reconnaissance, strike, and combat effectiveness evaluation, providing a comprehensive and flexible overall solution for building coastal defense.

The ground strike system integrates various functional modules such as "information reconnaissance, processing information transmission decision-making and command control precision strike damage assessment logistics support" to achieve integrated operations of "observation, attack, and evaluation".

The unmanned combat system aims to detect and strike high-value time sensitive enemy targets within tactical depth, with an information-based collaborative combat network as its main feature. It provides a fast response closed firepower loop from dynamic perception on the battlefield to precise firepower strikes and damage effect evaluations. It can be used for information security and rapid strikes in coastal defense, border defense, counter-terrorism, and local conflicts, as well as for regional normal monitoring, reconnaissance, and information relay.

The early warning and monitoring security system consists of a radar early warning system, an anti drone system, and a border defense system. This exhibition showcases multiple advanced early warning radars, which can not only undertake remote warning tasks for national territory, but also provide high-precision target indication information for air defense and anti missile weapon systems.

Equally attracting high attention is the comprehensive commercial aerospace system of Aerospace Science and Industry, with "stars," "arrows," and "clouds" gathered in Zhuhai.

The Kuaizhou-1A solid carrier rocket continuously breaks the record for the shortest launch interval of the same type of carrier rocket at the same launch site.

The space-based IoT cloud project has carried out pilot demonstration applications in key industries such as container supervision, disaster monitoring, meteorological observation, agricultural monitoring, and marine environment. It is planned to complete the construction of small constellations around 2022 and officially carry out satellite operations and market application expansion.

The Aerospace Nebula · Space based Network Ground Service Platform gathers various space-based resources such as satellite communication, navigation, and remote sensing, providing five online service products: "Satellite Manager", "Space Accuracy", "Space Monitoring", "Global One Point", and "Low altitude Smooth Travel".

In the command communication and support support system, communication systems such as tactical interconnection communication system, communication radio, ultra short wave voice radio, and backpack radio can achieve interconnection of tactical data, voice, and image at the service level, theater level, battalion level, and combat unit level, as well as data and voice communication between tanks, command vehicles, fighter jets, and individual soldiers.
