The agency announced in a 14 May statement that the coastal surveillance radar will be deployed by the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN) along the South Korean coastline as well as on islands to cover “all sea areas”. The system features “improved detection capabilities” and increased resolution providing more accurate direction and distance determination of ships and aircraft than the ageing coastal radars currently in service, said DAPA.

Development of the new radar, which is also smaller than the ones in service, began in 2015 with collaboration from LIG Nex1 under a project valued at about KRW31.6 billion.
