Electronic Warfare and Signals Intelligence; South China Sea Military Capability Series: A Survey of Technologies and Capabilities on China's Military Outposts in the South China Sea
Abstract
This military capability (MILCAP) study focuses on electronic warfare (EW) and signals intelligence capabilities on seven Chinese island-reef outposts in the South China Sea (SCS). These SCS MILCAP studies provide a survey of military technologies and systems on Chinese claimed island-reefs in the Spratly Islands, approximately 1,300 kilometers (700 nautical miles) south of Hong Kong (see Figure 1). These Chinese outposts have become significant Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) bases that will enhance future Chinese military operations in the SCS, an area where Beijing has disputed territorial claims (see Appendix B). The SCS MILCAP series highlights a PLA informationized warfare strategy to gain and maintain information control in a military conflict.
