NIGHT CITY.
WE ARE ON THE GROUND.

Kang Tao no longer sells into Night City from somewhere else. Port logistics hub, Charter Hill commercial office, direct client relationships, and local hiring at scale. Guided munitions delivered from a warehouse in your city, at a price the surplus market cannot match on capability.

警告COUNTERFEIT ADVISORY. Kang Tao is aware of a significant volume of counterfeit KT-SMARTLINK components circulating in the Night City market. Counterfeit units reproduce Kang Tao housings and markings but contain third-party targeting packages. They will pair. They will fire. They will not perform to specification and approximately one in twelve fails to pair at all. Genuine components carry a KT-AUTH v4 hardware signature verifiable at any authorised dealer. Kang Tao accepts no liability for counterfeit units and will not service them.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

公司概述

Kang Tao is one of the oldest small arms manufacturers in China. In the 2020s, our pistols were carried on the streets of every major Asian city — reliable, affordable, and everywhere. When the DataKrash hit, the company nearly ended with it. The CEO at the time did not survive the crisis. Kang Tao survived on government subsidy and institutional inertia for over two decades.

In 2046, the Chinese government made a decision. They appointed Colonel Shiming Xu, a former army colonel with a mandate to turn a collapsing defence company into something that justified its continued existence. Colonel Xu did not arrive with a gentle turnaround plan. He arrived with state investment, a clear directive, and no patience for the previous management's approach.

"This company was kept alive for a reason. We intend to demonstrate what that reason is." — Colonel Shiming Xu, 2046

The restructuring has stripped the company back to what it does well — small arms — and invested everything into smart weapons technology. The guided round platform under development in Beijing represents the most significant advance in Chinese small arms since the corporation's founding. When it reaches the market, it will not be competing with the past. It will be defining the future.

Kang Tao is in Night City because Night City is open to business that other NUSA cities are not. We are here to distribute our current product line and to establish the infrastructure for what comes next. Colonel Xu's timeline is not vague. The A-22B Chao smart pistol debuts in 2050. The corporation that delivers it will not resemble what Kang Tao looked like in 2045.

FACTS

◈ STATE MANDATE Kang Tao operates under direct mandate from the Chinese government. Colonel Xu reports to Beijing. State investment is not charity — it comes with expectations. The restructuring exists to meet them.

01 //SMART WEAPONS智能武器

Guided Munitions & Integrated Targeting

The future of Kang Tao. Smart rounds that track, adjust, and find their target regardless of cover, movement, or electronic interference. The guided munitions platform is what the entire restructuring is building toward. The KT-SP-3 pistol is in Night City now. The smart rifle comes later. The A-22B Chao smart pistol — the product that will formally announce the new Kang Tao to the market — is scheduled for 2050.

Corporate & Infrastructure Protection

Integrated security hardware for corporate facilities and government infrastructure. Developed in parallel with the smart weapons platform, the security division applies KT targeting and authentication technology to fixed installation systems. A secondary revenue stream while the primary weapons programme reaches maturity.

03 //AEROSPACE DEFENCE航空防衛

AV-Mounted Weapons & Anti-Air Systems

Smart weapons technology applied to aerial platforms. Vehicle-mounted guided systems and integrated aerial combat solutions. Under development as part of the broader state investment programme. Chinese military contracts are the long-term target for this division's output. Night City distribution is a civilian and corporate market only.

KEY PRODUCTSAV-Mount Smart Turret, AA Guided Package, Anti-AV Countermeasures

PRC CONTRACT TARGETMilitary supply — long-term objective

04 //NET SECURITY網路安全

Digital Countermeasures & Weapons Authentication

The digital layer of Kang Tao's product line. KT-AUTH binds every weapon to its registered user at hardware level — the weapon cannot be fully operated by anyone other than the registered owner. This is not software that can be patched out. It is the architecture. Colonel Xu mandated this from the first day of restructuring: Kang Tao weapons do not get turned against Kang Tao customers.

KEY PRODUCTSKT-AUTH v4, NET-integrated targeting, Corporate ICE

PRC COUNTERMEASURESBuilt-in across all product lines

BLACKWALLFull compliance — no deep-NET exposure

05 //CIVILIAN TECHNOLOGY民用技術

Commercial Electronics & Licensed Consumer Products

Consumer-grade products derived from Kang Tao's long manufacturing history. The civilian division exists because it has always existed — Kang Tao pistols were popular on Asian streets for decades before the restructuring. Colonel Xu has not dismantled this. The brand recognition has value. The revenue supports the research programme. The civilian line stays.

KEY PRODUCTSPrecision optics, Neural interface peripherals, Secure comms

REVENUE SHARE22% — secondary priority

ARASAKA PARTNERSHIPNone. On principle.

CORE PLATFORM TECHNOLOGIES

KT-CORE PLATFORM

SMART ROUND GUIDANCE

The round calculates. The round adjusts. The round finds the target. Kang Tao's guided munitions use onboard micro-processors and passive tracking to follow designated targets through cover, around corners, and under active electronic countermeasures. This is the technology the entire restructuring exists to bring to market at scale.

PROPRIETARY UNLICENSED ELSEWHERE

KT-NEURAL SERIES

NEURAL-LINK TARGETING

Direct neural interface between operator and weapon. Designate a target mentally. The weapon tracks. The round guides. Zero acquisition delay. Under development for the 2050 product launch. Current Night City product line uses standard optical targeting — neural integration arrives with the next generation.

REQUIRES NEURAL INTERFACE KT-CERTIFIED ONLY

KT-AUTH v4

WEAPONS AUTHENTICATION

Hardware-level authentication binding weapon to its registered operator. An unregistered user cannot operate a KT weapon at full functionality. This is not software — it cannot be patched out. Stolen Kang Tao weapons are disabled within 48 hours of report. Colonel Xu's requirement: Kang Tao takes responsibility for where its weapons end up.

PRC

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

State Sponsor // Primary Funding Source // Mandate Origin

The Chinese government is Kang Tao's primary sponsor and the reason the corporation still exists. State investment funds the restructuring, the research programme, and the smart weapons platform. Colonel Xu's appointment came directly from Beijing. Kang Tao is a state asset being rebuilt to serve Chinese interests — we are transparent about this because there is no reason not to be.

PRIMARY SPONSORACTIVESTATE MANDATE

NUSA

NUSA — NIGHT CITY

Distribution Market // Night City Office // Primary International Revenue

Night City is Kang Tao's first international distribution market under Colonel Xu's expansion plan. The city's commercial openness makes it the right entry point into the NUSA. Current product line available through KT-certified dealers. Revenue from Night City sales feeds directly back into the Beijing restructuring programme. This is a commercial operation — not a military one.

ACTIVE MARKETNIGHT CITY OFFICE OPEN

ASIA

ASIAN MARKETS — STREET DISTRIBUTION

Established Market // Legacy Presence // Pistol Distribution

Kang Tao pistols have been carried on the streets of Asian cities since the 2020s. Reliable, affordable, and available — the brand has recognition that predates the restructuring. Colonel Xu has not disrupted this. The existing distribution network across Asia provides a revenue baseline and keeps the name in circulation while the smart weapons programme reaches readiness.

INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION — PENDING

Planned // 2050 Target // Smart Weapons Launch

Colonel Xu's international expansion strategy is tied directly to the 2050 smart weapons launch. The A-22B Chao will be the product that opens new markets — a pistol competitive on price, superior in technology. Night City is the proof of concept. The international rollout follows. Specific markets and distribution arrangements are not disclosed at this stage.
