context_page_description: The HQ-7 is a Chinese short-range air defense missile. It is an unlicensed, reverse-engineered copy of the French Crotale missile. The missile is deployed on both ships and land-based vehicles. China revealed the export version, FM-80, in the 1989 Dubai Air Show. Unit cost is around $162,000 per launcher and $24,500 per missile.
context_section_description: The HQ-7 became PLAN's standard short-range air-defense SAM in the 1990s, and was used on new construction such as the Type 054 until superseded by the HQ-16 on the Type 054A frigate.  The typical configuration is one 8-cell launcher, with stores of reload missiles in multiples of 8 (8, 16, 24).  Earlier versions required manual re-loading, while later variants have an auto re-loader that can be retracted under the deck.
  The Naval HQ-7 uses a Type 360S E/F-band Doppler radar with a detection range of 18.4 km, connected to the ZJK-4 (Thomson-CSF TAVITAC) combat management system.  The system is capable of processing up to 30 targets, and tracking 12 targets simultaneously.
