This vehicle is actually a much closer analogue to the Pantsir-S1 than the missile-only equivalent.

Mainly due to the presence of the twin 30 mm cannon and the bi-caliber missile.

The use of the huge heavy transport truck is a bit of a surprise.

United Arab Emirates ordered 150 VP11 4x4 MRAP vehicles to Chinese Defense Company NORINCO.

According to Xiao Ning, executive chief editor of Beijing-based Weapon Magazine, the United Araba Emirates (UAE) ordered a total of 150 VP11, a new Chinese-made 4x4 MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle designed and developed by the Chinese Defense Company NORINCO.

The New Chinese-made NORINCO VP11 4x4 MRAP vehicle at AirShow China 2014 in Zhuhai, China.


The VP11 MRAP was unveiled for the first time to the public during the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition 2014 (AirShow China) which was held in Zhuhai (China) from the 11 to 16 November 2014.

The VP11 MRAP uses a monocoque V-shaped hull, external lightweight armor, internal spall liners and blast mitigation materials are used to protect the crew and vehicle from explosion of heavy mines under the vehicle or wheels.

The purpose of V-hulls is to increase vehicle and crew survivability by deflecting an upward directed blast from a landmine or Improvised Explosive Device (IED) away from the vehicle, while also presenting a sloped armor face. By presenting its armor at an angle, it increases the amount of material a ballistic projectile must pass through in order to penetrate the vehicle, and increases the chance of deflection.

According engineers of Norinco, the VP11 offers high level protection with good cross-country mobility and fire power.

According to Xiao Ning, executive chief editor of Beijing-based Weapon Magazine, the United Araba Emirates (UAE) ordered a total of 150 VP11, a new Chinese-made MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle designed and developed by the Chinese Defense Company NORINCO.

The VP11 design is based on a 4x4 light truck chassis and is intended to be used for reconnaissance, forward command and control, and urban operations vehicle for homeland security missions.

The general layout of the vehicle is standard with the engine at the front, crew in the middle and troop’s compartment at the rear. The windscreen and windows in the upper part of the hull are bulletproof and splinterproof and provide the occupants with good visibility over the frontal arc. There is one single door on each side of the hull and one at the rear of the vehicle. The VP11 can carry seven soldiers including driver, commander and gunner.

There is also a single hatch in the roof and various weapon station options are available. At AirShow China 2014, the VP11 was fitted with a remote weapon station mounted on the roof of the crew compartment. A bank of four smoke grenade dischargers is mounted on each side at the top of the hull.

LOL, I was about to say the same thing - that this looks like a indigenized version of Pantsir-S1.

Some high-resolution photos of PA02-MA, being marketed for export. The first photo basically says it's a multi-mission/function precision missile designed to be fired from multiple platforms (ships, UAVs, helicopters, ground vehicles, etc.) and can target helicopters, UAVs, small boats, armored vehicles, fixed ground installations, etc.

According to Jane's:

The China Poly Group Corporation used the recent Airshow China 2014 to reveal its WB-1 millimeter-wave beam-projecting non-lethal anti-riot system.

Similar to Raytheon's Active Denial System (ADS), the Poly WB-1 projects the millimeter-wave beam to heat water molecules just below the skin, resulting in intense pain. Chinese reports note that it has an effective range of 80 m but with increased power its range can be increased to 1 km.

The United States revealed the ADS in 2007. While it was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, and military commanders repeatedly requested its use, the system has yet to be used in combat due to fears of fuelling enemy propaganda.

In 2012 Russian reports revealed that the 12th Central Military Research and Development Institute near Moscow was developing a similar weapon. In China one key centre of research for microwave weapons is the University of Electronic Science and Technology (UESTC) in Chengdu. In 2013 UESTC student Yang Yi completed a master's thesis titled Gyrotron Electronic Gun Design and Research.

Reports out of Zhuhai indicate that Poly is developing the weapon for naval applications. With a potential 1 km range such a weapon could allow China to escalate its use of non-lethal confrontation to enforce its maritime claims in the East China and South China seas.

ANALYSIS
The US removed ADS from Afghanistan in 2010 without using it due to the potential propaganda risk it represented, writes James Hardy . Reports at the time noted operational issues with the system, such as the fact it took 16 hours to boot up. Wired quoted Diana Loree of the US Air Force Research Laboratory as saying that an alternative was to keep it "in ready mode" but that the potential fuel costs could be astronomical.

If its engineers do manage to integrate a workable version of the WB-1 onto naval or paramilitary ships, China may still find the negative publicity from using such a weapon against neighbouring countries outweighs its potential utility.

A nice HD video of export vehicles and munitions on display at Zhuhai.
