The QW-2 Vanguard 2 is a Chinese all-aspect man-portable infrared homing guided
surface-to-air missile. It isn't clear when the missile first entered service, b
ut it is likely to have been between 1998 and 2002.[1]
The QianWei 2 (or Vanguard 2, its export name) is the third-generation shoulderlaunched, all-aspect IR-homing, 'fire-and-forget' surface-to-air missile develop
ed by Shenyang-based CASIC 119 Factory (Shenyang Hangtian Xinle Ltd). The QW-2 w
as first revealed during the 1998 Farnbororough Air Show. The missile and launch
er of the QW-2 bear strong resemblance to those of the Russian 9K310 Igla-1, and
the two missile systems are believed to be comparable in performance.[2]

Description[edit]
QW-2 is a development of the QW-1 Vanguard series, and is considered by many dom
estic Chinese media sources[which?] as the Chinese equivalent of FIM-92E Stinger
.
Compared to the QianWei 1, the minimum operating altitude of the QianWei 2 has b
een reduced from 30m to 10m; the operating range has been increased from 5 km to
6 km; and the missile s reaction time has been reduced to below 5 seconds. The Qi
anWei 2 features a newly developed dual-band passive IR seeker with strong resis
tance to heat flares dispensed by the target and solar/ground heat, thus improvi
ng the missile s performance in day/night, all-weather conditions.[2]
