FK-4000

Intelligence Summary: FK-4000

Node Identity: FK-4000 is a technology categorized under "Hardware" in the china intelligence graph. Anti-drone HPM platform by CASC capable of precision single-point attacks and intercepting drone swarms. Truck-mounted with rapid rotation capability.

Research Evidence: The following findings from 3 research documents reference this entity:

1. Confidence: LIKELY (program existence and scale); SPECULATIVE (operational capability) --- ## L9: China's HPM Dominance and EMP Doctrine — The Asymmetric Threat ### Finding: China has become the global leader in high-power microwave (HPM) weapons development, holding 90% of all new HPM-related patents globally, with deployed operational systems (Hurricane 2000/3000, FK-4000) and disclosed weapons capable of up to 100 gigawatts output.
2. Evidence: At the November 2024 Zhuhai Air Show, the PLA showcased Hurricane 2000, Hurricane 3000, and FK-4000 HPM systems (2-3 km range, counter-drone).
3. The timing is notable given China's own HPM weapon development (FK-4000 at Zhuhai 2024).
4. about 90 percent of HPM-related patents globally are owned by China-affiliated organizations" - INDSR comparative analysis (December 2025): https://indsr.org.tw/uploads/indsr/files/202512/3b8d5303-39dd-443e-b92f-e211b4e3d7ca.pdf — "the PRC unveiled its FK-4000 land-based HPM system at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow...
5. The combination of Chinese HPM weapons (FK-4000), growing HEMP arsenal, drone swarms, and precision-strike missiles creates an urgent requirement for the layered electromagnetic defense architecture Taiwan is constructing with US technological assistance.
6. Confidence: LIKELY (weapon exists; extreme claims SPECULATIVE) --- ## L2: PLA High-Power Microwave (HPM) Weapons — Hurricane/FK-4000 Systems and 100 GW Arsenal ### Finding: China has become the global leader in HPM weapons development, holding 90% of all new HPM-related patents globally, and has publicly showcased multiple mobile HPM anti-drone systems at the 2024 Zhuhai Air Show, while NUDT researchers have disclosed HPM weapons capable of up to 100 gigawatts output.
7. At the November 2024 Zhuhai Air Show, the PLA showcased at least three novel HPM ground-based weapons: the Hurricane 2000 and Hurricane 3000 anti-drone HPM systems (with 2-3 km effective range, capable of disabling hundreds of drones in succession), and the FK-4000 anti-drone platform by CASC capable of precision single-point attacks and intercepting drone swarms.
8. The Hurricane/FK-4000 systems represent operational counter-drone capabilities directly applicable to Taiwan contingency scenarios.

Strategic Relevance: FK-4000 is a tracked entity within the china network. With 3 documented connections to other entities, this node plays a supporting role in the network topology.

Network Linkage: This entity maintains 3 documented connections in the intelligence network: FK-4000 developed by CASC; FK-4000 showcased at Zhuhai Air Show 2024; CASC developed FK-4000.
