China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy of China

中国海鹰机电技术研究院

DIRECTOR: Wang Jianmin

OTHER NAMES: Third Academy, Coastal Defense (Anti-Ship) Missile Academy, Cruise Missile Academy, China Haiying Company (CHC).

Haiying is one of seven design academies under the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). It was established in 1961, and is located in Yungang, in the southwestern suburbs of Beijing. Haiying employs 15,000 people (including 2,000 senior engineers and research fellows) in 10 institutes and two manufacturing plants in the production of cruise missiles.

Haiying conducts general research, design, development, and production of anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles and associated systems. It has developed more than 20 types of cruise missiles. Haiying's products include winged missile weapon systems and ground equipment, automatic control equipment, propulsion systems, infrared and laser units, radar and electronic units, and computers.

Haiying was sanctioned in August 1993 as a subsidiary of CASC by the United States for its involvement in Chinese missile-related sales to Pakistan.
