The CS/MPQ-90 Bee Eye is a Taiwanese Passive electronically scanned array (PESA) type radar developed by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST).
Description
The CS/MPQ-90 is a short-medium range 3D[2] air defense PESA radar designed and produced by the NCSIST.[3]
Variants
Naval
A naval version known as the “Sea Bee Eye” was installed aboard ROCN Hwai Yang (FFG-937) for testing.[4]
The naval version is to be deployed as the air search and target indication radar component of the TC-2N surface-to-air missile system, as part of a self-contained fire control system aboard Taiwan’s Kang Ding (La Fayette) class frigates/Ta Chiang(PGG-619) and as part of the central combat management system aboard the new amphibious warfare ship which is scheduled to enter service in 2021.[2]
Land based
The CS/MPQ-90 has been integrated with Taiwan’s AN/TWQ-1 Avenger missile batteries.[5]
Operational land-based systems were first seen in public in 2010.[6]
Six systems were ordered in 2019 to equip TC-2 missile batteries.[7]
