History
Design
The QN-202 missile features a fire-and-forget engagement mode[7] with infrared guidance seeker, allowing the user to seek cover immediately after launch.[8] It has multiple launcher options. One is a muzzle-loading concealable, lightweight launcher[9][10] with a pistol grip and a collapsible stock,[7] It also comes with a backpack that could store 6 micro missiles.[11] The second option is a shoulder-fired launcher with a more sophisicated fire control system.[6] The missile can also be integrated with vehicles.[8]
It has been compared to the Pike missile. The QN-202 is similar in size and weight but features fire-and-forget infrared tracking, instead of Pike's semi-active laser guidance.[12]
