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.

Taiwan also seems to be using the ship to trial an indigenous air-search active electronically scanned array radar system – located midships – but this is unrelated to the ‘Sea Oryx' system.

The photographs indicate that after six years of research and development, the ‘Sea Oryx' has now entered the sea testing phase.
