Taiwan (Republic of China): Air Force air and missile defence

Rolle auf dem Gefechtsfeld

Long-range detection and tracking of ballistic launches, and wide-area air surveillance. It is the sensor that starts the missile-defence sequence: without it, the interceptor layers beneath have no cue, and the civil warning system has nothing to trigger on.

Stärken

Detection range measured in thousands of kilometres, which is what allows a launch to be characterised — origin, trajectory, likely impact area — rather than merely noticed. It has been continuously operational since 2013 and is the single most consequential sensor in Taiwan's inventory by a wide margin.

Einschränkungen

Every limitation of this capability follows from its being one large fixed installation. Published commentary consistently identifies it as an early target for exactly that reason, and the warning it provides is short in absolute terms — the strait is narrow and the flight times are measured in minutes, not tens of minutes. Its cost has been a recurring subject of Taiwanese legislative scrutiny. Vigil publishes no location, no coverage geometry, no detection ranges against specific target classes and no assessment of its survivability.

Relevanz für Kampagnen

Abgeleitet: Eine beteiligte Organisation dieser Kampagnen hat eine typisierte Ausrüstungszuordnung zu diesem System. Das ist nicht dasselbe wie ein dokumentierter Einsatz des Systems in der Kampagne selbst.

Visuelle Erkennung

A large fixed building carrying flat phased-array antenna faces — a structure rather than a vehicle, with no rotating element. Not a system that is identified in the field; it is identified by being the only thing of its kind.

Dokumentierter Einsatz im Konflikt

Operational since 2013 and continuously part of Taiwan's air and missile defence since. Taiwan publicly stated that the radar detected and tracked a Chinese ballistic missile through its opening phase of flight in July 2026, which is the clearest public demonstration of the capability on record and the reason the system's role is now discussed openly rather than obliquely.
