The merit of anonymity for many years! The 12 “two generals” of China’s missile weapons were made public to the whole society for the first time

April 24 is the seventh China Aerospace day. The second Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, China’s largest air and space defense missile development and production unit (hereinafter referred to as the second Institute of Aerospace Science and industry), organized a space Day theme activity called “inheritance and dream”.

Chenhuaijin (December 16, 1929 to August 6, 2017), chief designer of Hongqi No. 2, was appointed chief designer of Hongqi No. 2 in November 1964. He once participated in the establishment of China’s first radar force. After being transferred to the Fifth Academy of the Ministry of national defense, he has been engaged in the development of air defense missiles for a long time. He is a leader of simulation technology and a famous missile radar expert. He has made outstanding contributions to China’s national defense industry in the fields of aircraft guidance, automatic control and simulation. He has technically initiated the development of China’s first generation air defense missiles and guided the development of the second generation air defense missiles.

Chai Zhi, commander in chief of JuLang 1 and Hongqi 7 (1922.12.17-2003.9.10), served as commander in chief of JuLang 1 in February 1980 and commander in chief of Hongqi 7 in February 1982. He has participated in leading the imitation of “1059” control system and ground equipment, the self-design of Dongfeng 2 control system, “543” imitation, the development of Hongqi 2, JuLang 1 and Dongfeng 21. And served as the model commander in chief. Organize and lead the development of Hongqi 7 and serve as the chief administrative commander. Make outstanding contributions to China’s national defense industry.

Baotou City, northern weapons City, surface to air missile Hongqi No. 2 launcher.

Geng Rui (1920.8.13-1987.12.12), commander-in-chief of Hongqi VII, served as commander-in-chief of Hongqi VII in May 1979 and made positive contributions to the development of the second generation of air defense weapons in China.

Tan Fengkui, commander in chief of Hongqi 7 (1944.2.6-2008.2.27), served as commander in chief of Hongqi 7 in January 1994. The “Research on the integrated system of flexible design and manufacturing of key parts of air defense missile” he is responsible for has established an integrated system based on concurrent engineering to support the design, manufacturing and management of missile structural parts for the first time in the aerospace field, realizing the comprehensive application on multiple models, which has a far-reaching impact on the rapid development of air defense models.

Xu Naiming (1929.7.22-2016.9.20), commander in chief of haihongqi 7, was appointed commander in chief of haihongqi 7 in October 1989. He presided over the development of a new generation of surface to air missile weapon system, a new type of surface to surface missile weapon system and many other aerospace models, presided over the construction of Beijing simulation center with international advanced level, and solved many problems in the application and development of simulation computer.

Chen Guoxin, chief designer of haihongqi 7 (July 30, 1944), served as chief designer of haihongqi 7 in January 1997 and chief designer of new field weapon system in October 2000. He created a precedent in the field of Shipborne ultra-low altitude in the history of China’s air defense missile development; He successfully completed the development task of new field air defense missile. He used the method of system engineering to solve the key technologies in product development, established the idea of taking design as the center and focusing on test and verification, and made an important contribution to the smooth progress of model development.

Wu Beisheng, the general director of the third generation air defense weapon system in China (August 14, 1929), served as the general director of the third generation air defense weapon system in February 1988, the chief designer of b610 in January 1993 and the chief designer of B611 in October 1996. He was once in charge of the technical work of the development of China’s surface to air missile system. He successively served as the deputy chief designer of Hongqi 3 and Hongqi 7, the chief technical director of the third generation air defense weapon system and the chief designer of b610, B611 and B6 series, making important contributions to the development of national defense.

Shen Zhongfang, commander in chief of China’s third generation air defense weapon system (August 24, 1934), served as commander in chief of the third generation air defense weapon system in January 1992, commander in chief of b610 in January 1993 and commander in chief of B611 in October 1996. He has been engaged in aircraft system design and research for a long time, and has successively completed the R & D and command of the vehicle mounted Hongying 5 ultra-low altitude air defense weapon system test sample vehicle, the third generation air defense weapon system and B6 series weapon system, making important contributions to the development of national defense.

Zhang Fu’an (November 25, 1939 -), chief designer of China’s third generation air defense weapon system, was appointed chief designer of the third generation air defense weapon system in January 1992. In the design of the third generation air defense weapon system, after three years of tackling key problems and breaking through five key technologies, he presided over the formulation of the overall scheme of the weapon system, brought out a scientific research team with strong technical ability, laid the foundation for the series development of models, realized the great leap forward development of China’s air defense missile weapons, and made outstanding contributions to the development of China’s air defense missiles.

Wang Guoxiang, commander in chief of China’s third generation air defense weapon system (1940.8.26-2010.5.27), served as commander in chief of the third generation air defense weapon system in August 2000. He has been engaged in the development of missile weapons and equipment for a long time and is a master of missile system engineering and model development management
