Zitat:Taiwan testing ship-borne ‘Sea Oryx' short-range, air-defence systemhttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-...nce-system
Images have emerged online showing the Republic of China Navy's (RoCN') Kaohsiung (LCC-1) command ship (ex-USS Dukes County) being used to test the locally developed, shipborne ‘Sea Oryx' short-range, air-defence (SHORAD) system.
The images, which emerged in early June, show that the system – Taiwan's version of the Raytheon RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile system – has been located on the stern of the ship, which is often used by the RoCN and the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) as a test platform for indigenous radar and missile systems. [...] The photographs indicate that after six years of research and development, the ‘Sea Oryx' has now entered the sea testing phase. [...]
The missile has a maximum effective range of 9 km and can reach a maximum altitude of 3 km. The ‘Sea Oryx' is deployed from a pivoting multi-axis launcher providing rapid engagement of a number of targets.
