ABSTRACT
COUNTRY
1. _______ Ima? try-derived analysis of the Duanzeguo (Tuan-tse-kou) Radar Production Plant indi-
cates that series prc luction of the GIN SLING radar has started at the Duanzeguo plant. One probable
GIN SLING target tracking and missile guidance radar has been seen at Duanzeguo since August 1977.
One GIN SLING a Td five tracking/guidance radar bases were present , This was the
largest concentratior of tracking/guidance radar bases seen at Duanzeguo. This report describes activity
observed at the Du nzeguo plant It updates NPIC report
INDIA
INTRODUCTION
3. a Duan ;eguo Radar Production Facility is approximately 12.0 nautical miles (nm) northeast of the
city of Zunyi (Tsun-i , 11.0 nm southwest of the city of Suiyang (Sui-yang), and 1.2 nm northwest of the village
of Duanzeguo in the Kunming (Kun-ming) Military Region (Figure 1). The plant is involved in the production
of the GIN SLING t rget tracking and missile guidance radar associated with the Chinese CSA-1 SAM system.
This report updates a previous NPIC report)
and si bstantially satisfies the basic reporting requirement for the target.
A locatin map, five annotated photographs, and seven tables are included in this report.

10. I The radar test/calibration support
area (Figures 2 and 6 and Table 4) is adjacent to
the southern edge of the housing/support area. It
contains one irregularly shaped laboratory/engi-
neering building, one shop building, one adminis-
tration building, five multistory quarters, and two
support buildings. The total floorspace available
in this area is 12,304 square meters.
11. The housing/support and the mo-
tor pool/support areas (Figures 2 and 6) are to the
west of and adjacent to manufacturing area 2. The
housing/support area (Table 5) contains 19 multi-
story quarters, five administration buildings, and 25X1
various other storage/support buildings. The motor
pool/support area (Table 6) contains two adminis-
tration buildings, 14 support buildings, and 11 vari-
ous other storage/support buildings. The total floor-
space for both support areas is 53,537 square meters.
12. I The wall-secured POL storage 25X1
facility (Figure 6) is 200 meters south of manufac- 25X1
turing area 2 and contains two large 17-meter-
diameter partially underground POL storage tanks
and a pumphouse.

Production Activity
13. _ One probable GIN SLING with-
out the ECCM target tracking and missile guidance
radar was observed at the radar test/calibration area
for the first time in August 1977. Since that date, a
GIN SLING radar has been seen within this same
area on several occasions. In addition to a GIN
SLING, five tracking/guidance radar bases were
observed in August 1979. This increase in the num-
ber of radar bases seen at the test/calibration area
indicates that the GIN SLING radar may now be in
series production at this plant.
14. ~ The only plants in China that have
been involved in SAM tracking and guidance radar
production are Xian (Hsi-an) Optical Instrument
Plant Hsi-pei the adjacent Xian
Radar Plant and the Xian
Radar Assembly and Test Area
Only one FAN SONG has been seen at the Xian
Radar Assembly and Test Area on any given imag-
ery. However, five tracking/-
guidance radar bases were at the Xian Optical
Instruments Plant, just east of and adjacent to the
Xian Radar Plant 786. The five tracking/guidance
radar bases seen at Xian optical plant
This was the largest concentration of SAM-related
equipment seen at the Xian optical plant. The five
tracking/guidance radar bases seen at the Duan-
zeguo radar test/calibration area in August 1979
I. In addition to the tracking/guidance
bases seen at Duanzeguo, as many as ten tracking/-
guidance antenna trailers and three cab-over-engine
electronics van trucks have been observed at the
Duanzeguo plant.
Imagery Analyst's Comments
15. Ten to 12 GIN SLING radars
could probably be produced per year at the Duan-
zeguo Radar Production Plant. The combined GIN
SLING radar production efforts of the Duanzeguo
plant and the Xian plants are probably more than
sufficient to meet both current and future pro-
duction needs for the GIN SLING tracking/gui-
dance radar.
