High-Frequency Communications
Abstract
This military capability (MILCAP) study focuses on high-frequency (HF) communications 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 (Figure 1). The Chinese outposts have become significant People's 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.
