It doesn't have to be for an existing missile, but it's a lot easier to reuse a similar missile body.

Eg. The JL-1 and JL-2 are naval variants of land based missiles.

Considering the original question asked about universal VLS in general, we know what the dimensions of the Chinese universal VLS are, I think we can safely exclude any pre-existing SRBMs they have in service could be adapted for it.


I think you were speaking along the right lines -- i.e.: a new, larger diameter universal VLS allows for benefits of firing larger diameter munitions.
However obviously even the smallest Chinese SRBMs are too large for the universal VLS. However the Chinese universal VLS is still much larger than Mk-41 and even Mk-57 when using the cold launch configuration (enabling use of the full 0.85m diameter), that will enable larger munitions in future as they are developed.

Is that even from mainland China, not Taiwan? Kuang Chi does not sound like mainland romanization.

Kuang Chi 光启 is a company founded in ShenZhen and engaged mainly in stealth materials.

I guess that JASSM-looking model was just only a demonstration of technology applying.

Can hq16 be quad packed? Diameter is said to be 32 cm.
Unless the fins extend even farther than that, there shouldn't be a problem ?
