According to NCSIST, the new interceiver Chiang-Kong It uses a thruster and impact vehicle to reach hypersonic speeds higher than Mach 5, according to.
The aesa radar of the system, the first of this type built locally, uses Transmission/Solid State Reception Modules and electronic beam direction to follow and classify multiple targets. The command is given through a control center, with wireless connections.
A ogiva transporta high explosive fragments designed to destroy enemy missiles on impact.
