HSIUNG-FENG LAND-BASED CRUISE MISSILE (CD) SYSTEM
TA A I
(SWN) SIGNIFICANCE: HSIUNG-FENG LAND-BASED CRUISE MISSILE
(CD) SYST M CONED AT THE CHUNSHAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY.
2. (SWN) REMARKS: THE HSIUNG-FENG MISSILE IS AN ADAPTATION OF
THE DRONE BEE SHIP-BORNE ANTI-SHIP CRUISE MISSILE PRODUCED
IN TAIWAN FOR THE TAIWANESE NAVY AND IS BASED ON THE ISRAELI
GABRIEL-II MISSILE. THE HSIUNG-FENG LAND-BASED CRUISE
BEE/GABRIEL-TYPE MISSILE CONTAINER/LAUNCHERS, AN ACQUISITION
RADAR, AND A FIRE CONTROL RADAR.
(SWN) A REVIEW OF IMAGERY REVEALED THAT ELEMENTS OF THE
HSIUNG-FENG SYSTEM HAVE BEEN AT THIS INSTITUTE, IN VARYING
CONSISTS OF THREE TRAILER-MOUNTED DARK-TONED DRONE
MISSILE (CD) SYSTEM, AS OBSERVED
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, SINCE AS EARLY AS 1977.
FIVE ELECTRONICS VAN TRAILERS WERE PARKED ON
AN APRON IN THE ELECTRONICS/PRODUCTION RESEARCH AREA. TVJO
OF THE VANS RESEMBLED THE ACQUISITION AND FIRE CONTROL RADAR
VANS NOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE HSIUNG-FENG SYSTEM.
DRONE BEE MISSILE CONTAINER/LAUNCHERS WERE
OBSERVED ON AN APRON BETWEEN TWO LABORATORY BUILDINGS IN THE
MISSILE APPLICATIONS RESEARCH AREA. IN THE SAME AREA
THE FIRST ASSOCIATION OF THE VAN-MOUNTED FIRE
CONTROL RADAR AND THE HSIUNG-FENG LAUNCHER CARRIAGE CHASSIS
WAS OBSERVED. BOTH DARK AND LIGHT-TONED
DRONE BEE CONTAINER/LAUNCHERS WERE DISCERNIBLE IN THE
MISSILE APPLICATIONS RESEARCH AREtt. THIS WAS THE FIRST
OBSERVATION OF TONAL DIFFERENCES IN DRONE BEE
CONTAINER/LAUNCHERS. THE DARK-TONED CONTAINER/LAUNCHERS ARE
ASSOCIATED NOW WITH THE LAND-BASED HSIUNG-FF,NG SYSTEM.
WHEREAS THE LIGHT-TONED CONTAINERS HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN
ASSOCIATED WITH THE NAVAL DRONE BEE SYSTEM. BY FEBRUARY
1982, THE COMPLETED HSIUNG-FENG LAUNCHER CARRIAGE WAS BEING
TOWED BY A VJHEELED PRIME MOVER AND PARKED WITH ITS
ASSOCIATED ELECTRONICS. IN RETROSPECT, THIS WAS THE FIRST
TIME THE SYSTEM WAS OBSERVED TOGETHER.

(SWN) ANALYST COMMENTS: THIS REPRESENTS THF. FIRST
IDENTIFICATION OF THE HSIUNG-FENG LAND-BASED CRUISE MISSILE
(CD) SYSTEM FROM OVERHEAD IMAGERY. HSIUNG-FENG MISSILES,
DISPLAYED DURING THE OCTOBER. 1978 NATIONAL DA.Y PARADE BY THE
TAIWANESE ARMY, WERE MOUNTED ON A DISPLAY STAND IN THE BACK OF
CARGO TRUCKS. THE ACTUAL HSIUNG-FENG LAUNCHERS CARRIAGE VdAS
NOT COMPLETED UNTII, LATE 1981 AND WAS DISPLAYED IN THE OCTOBER
1981 NATIONAL DAY PARADE.
(SWN) DUE TO THE MISSILES RELATIVELY SHORT RANGE (22 KM)
DEPLOYED SITES FOR THE HSIUNG-FENG SYSTEM MAY BE LIMITED TO
TAIWANESE HELD ISLANDS IN THE TAIWAN STRAITS, WHICH INCLUDE
THE PENG-HU. CHIN-MEN, AND MATSU DEFENSF. COMMANDS.
