At the 9th Zhuhai Airshow held in November 2012, a new member of C-602 series designated as CM-602G made its public debut. CM-602G is a dedicated land attack cruise missile with range of 290 km to comply with the export restriction imposed by Missile Technology Control Regime, and armed with a 480 kg warhead. One of the major improvement of CM-602G over earlier models of the series is that a data link is added so that the operator can change to target after the launch, though the fire-and-forget option is still available. CM-602G can also be programmed to have a pops up mode to flyover ground obstacles up to 800 meters and thus shorting the reaction time for enemy to defend the intended target. CM-602G is designed to attack land targets within 25 km of the shoreline.
