The Wan Chien (Chinese: 萬劍; lit. 'ten thousand swords'; Tâi-lô: bān-kiàm) is an air to ground cruise missile developed and produced by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) of Taiwan.[2][3][4][5]
Design and development
It partly resembles the AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon and the Storm Shadow. Serial production was expected to start in 2015.[2][6] Full operational capability was declared in 2018. It is functional in both a ground strike role and a naval strike role.[7] The codename for the development and initial production of the Wan Chien was "Project God’s Axe" (神斧).[8]
After the completion of initial production NCSIST began working on a long range variant with a 400km range.[8]
Service history
The Wan Chien entered service in 2011. The primary launch platform is the AIDC F-CK-1 C/D.[9]
In 2022 annual production was approximately 50 missiles a year. Production was expected to end in 2024 but in 2023 funds were allocated to extend production of the improved version through 2028. [10]
