The JL-2 (Chinese: 巨浪-2; pinyin: Jù Làng Èr; lit. 'Giant Wave 2', NATO reporting name CSS-N-14) is a Chinese second-generation intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) deployed on the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) Type 094 submarines. It succeeds the JL-1 SLBM deployed on the Type 092 submarine.[10]
The JL-2 is the first Chinese SLBM that allows PLAN ballistic missile submarines to strike portions of the United States from the Chinese coast,[11] and provide China with a viable sea-based nuclear deterrent.[10]
Development
The JL-2 is a naval variant of the land-based DF-31.[3][12] Their common 2-metre diameter solid fuel rocket motor was successfully tested in late 1983,[3] and research and development efforts were reorganized starting in 1985 to produce both missiles.[12]
The first JL-2 at-sea launch occurred in 2001 from a Type 031 submarine.[3][12] The program was delayed after a failed test in 2004.[3] Successful launches occurred in 2005 and 2008. The missile was successfully fired from a Type 094 submarine, the intended operational platform, for the first time in 2009.[3] A series of test launches occurred in 2012.[13][14] Another test launch occurred in January 2015.[15]
During the development of the missile, it was reported that China was considering modifying the missile to accommodate an anti-satellite warhead to give it a sea-based anti-satellite capability.[16]
Type 094 deterrence patrols with JL-2 missiles began in December 2015.[1]
As of 2017[update], 48 JL-2 launchers are deployed on submarines.[7]
Description
The JL-2 is a three-stage, solid-fuelled missile,[7] with a maximum range of 7,200 km (4,500 mi).[8] Payload is a single or 3 to 4 MIRV warhead.[17][18]
