SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The FK-3000 is a short-range air defense (SHORAD) missile system developed by CASIC for base and maneuver force protection against helicopters, UAVs, cruise missiles, and precision-guided munitions. It uses an active radar seeker for fire-and-forget capability and is mounted on wheeled vehicles for high tactical mobility. The FK-3000 fills the gap between man-portable MANPADS and medium-range SAM systems.
