The Hyunmoo-3 is a South Korean family of short- to medium-range land-attack cruise missiles, also known as Cheon Ryong or Sky Dragon. The CSIS Missile Threat project lists three variants in service: the road-mobile 3A with a 500 km range from 2006, the road-mobile 3B with a 1,000 km range from 2009, and the ship and submarine launched 3C with a 1,500 km range from 2012, with a 3D variant reportedly in development. The missile is about 6.2 meters long with a launch weight of 1,360 kg, a solid-propellant booster and a turbojet engine, and it navigates by inertial guidance, GPS and terrain matching. The Agency for Defense Development developed it and LIG Nex1 manufactured it. The 3C is carried on KDX-III destroyers, Incheon-class frigates and Type 214 submarines.
