The Type 93 Surface-to-air missile ( 93式近距離地対空誘導弾 , 93shiki-kinkyori-titaikū-yuūdōdan ) or Kin-SAM is a surface-to-air missile used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force .
It was first deployed in 1993, due to a need to replace L-90 35mm Anti-Aircraft Twin Cannons in JGSDF service. It is typically deployed on a modified launcher BXD10 Kōkidōsha (military version Toyota Mega Cruiser ) with a total of eight missiles ready to fire.

これまでは侵入してくる航空機や誘導弾(ミサイル)を近距離で迎撃するために、機関砲弾で撃ち落とす35mm連装高射機関砲L-90が使用されてきました。このL-90の後継として1990年から開発が始まり、師団・旅団の最終防衛線となる地対空装備として1993年に制式化された国産の自走式地対空誘導弾です。
