HD-1 is a supersonic land-attack and anti-ship missile developed by Guangdong Hongda Mining Company. The HD-1 is powered by a ramjet engine and a solid rocket booster.
History and development
The HD-1 is a private, export-oriented missile project developed by the Guangdong Hongda Mining Company, a Guangzhou-based company specializing in industrial explosives. It was first revealed in 2018.
The technology of the HD-1 missile was reportedly sold to Pakistan, used to develop the latter's Fatah-3 supersonic cruise missile.
Design
The HD-1 is a family of supersonic cruise missiles powered by a combination of a solid rocket booster and a ramjet engine. The booster is used to launch the missile into optimal speed and initiate the ramjet engine. The missile features tapered control surfaces for maneuvers. The missile has a reported range of 290 km (180 mi). This figure could be higher in reality, as the number could be intentionally conservative to follow the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
