Missile systemAn 8×8 wheeled TEL with eight vertical launch canisters for HQ‑11/FМ‑3000 class missiles, giving 360° coverage without slewing the launcher. Vertical launch improves reaction time and simplifies engaging multiple threats from different bearings.Med[1]
Ld-3000 gun systemA land-based derivative of the naval Type 1130 (H/PJ‑11) 30 mm CIWS, using an 11‑barrel rotary cannon firing roughly 9,000–11,000 rounds per minute for very short‑range interception of incoming missiles and guided bombs.Med[1]
Fire control systemThe HQ‑11 battery’s radar and C2 system can track many targets simultaneously—open sources mention handling on the order of 32 targets at once—with multiple simultaneous missile engagements supported by multi‑channel guidance.Med[1]

Summary

The HQ-11 Chinese 8x8 Short-Range Surface-to-Air Missile System is designed as a “universal terminal defense system” to protect fixed sites (bases, command posts, critical infrastructure) and moving high‑value assets (convoys, field HQs) from modern air and missile threats.
