The Noor (Template:Langx) is a long-range anti-ship cruise missile manufactured by Iran. The missile is in primary service with the Iranian Navy. The missile is a reverse engineered Chinese C-802 anti-ship missile.[1]

History

Transporter erector launcher (TELs) for Noor/Qader missiles. The TEL can be disguised as a civilian truck.

Iran was the first export customer of Chinese C-802 missiles. The contract was signed in 1995 but was cancelled due to U.S. pressure after 60 missiles had been delivered. After that, Iran started a program to reverse engineer the C-802.[2]

It is unknown when the programme was finished, but in 2000 and early 2001, Iran tested an upgraded C-802 missile during Unity-79 wargames. Officials said that the range of the missile is increased from Script error: No such module "convert"..[3]

The missile is powered by Toloue-4, an Iranian version of the French Microturbo TRI 60 engine.[4]

In January 2004, Iran announced that it has started manufacturing the DM-3B mono pulse radar for the Noor missile.[5] According to Iranian officials, DM-3B is a millimeter-wave active radar used in the last stage of missile flight to find the target and home-in the missile on it.[6] Because of its frequency, it is very hard to jam the radar, which is located inside the nosecone.[7]

In 2006, it was announced that the missile's range has been increased further to Template:Cvt.[8][9]

In 2011, another variant called Qader was unveiled by Iran with a range of Template:Cvt and the ability to attack coastal targets. A video of the missile hitting its coastal target was published by the Iranian media.[10][11][12]

In early 2012, during Velayete-90 wargames, a Noor missile was tested with improvements in electronic systems, a more jam-resistant radar and better target acquisition algorithms. A Qader missile was also tested in the wargame.[13]

On 10 May 2020, the Iranian support vessel Konarak was struck by a Noor missile which was fired from the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". in the Gulf of Oman close to the Strait of Hormuz, killing 19 of its crew and severely damaging the ship.[14]
