In parallel with the QW series developed under CASIC, the FN family (Fei Nu; Flying Crossbow) was developed by the 8th Research Institute of the China Aerospace Corporation (CASC) and manufactured by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST). The first of the FN series debuted in 2002 as the FN-6. The seeker uses a multifaceted pyramidal dome very reminiscent of the French Mistral and probably incorporating a similar four-detector array. The FN-6 is offered with a two-blade IFF system similar to Stinger and Verba. Sudan claims to produce this missile under license as the Nayzak. The FN-16 debuted in 2008 at Airshow China in Zhuhai. This missile reverted to the more typical hemispherical domed seeker and offers better all-aspect engagement and better resistance against electronic countermeasures than the FN-6.
