CM501G is a Chinese land attack missile first revealed during the 9th Zhuhai Airshow held in November 2012.

CM-501G also has more guidance options such as Satellite/INS, imaging infrared (IIR), semi-active laser homing (SAL) and in-flight updates for re-targeting if needed.

The developer has claimed that the open architecture and modular design concept made the CM-501G system versatile enough to meet different financial constraints customers face by selecting different guidance systems: when budgetary constraints limit the funding, the two way data link and IIR can be replaced by cheaper SAL, and satellite guidance can be any of GPS, GLONASS, or BeiDou.

When a human operator is in the loop for re-targeting after receiving the update via a two-way data link, this task is completed in the command vehicle.
