Taiwan's Radar Network: A Crucial Lifeline in an Increasingly Hostile Region The recent ballistic missile launch from China's South China Sea has highlighted the critical role that Taiwan's advanced radar systems play in tracking and monitoring potential threats to regional security.
The successful detection of the JL 2 submarine launched ballistic missile by Taiwan's AN/FPS 115 Pave Paws early warning radar system demonstrates the country's commitment to maintaining a robust defense network.
The $1. 4 billion radar, developed by US defense contractor Raytheon, has been operational in Taiwan since 2013.
