The Taiwanese army plans to spend more than US$163 million on a new HF radio communication system to prevent eavesdropping by Chinese PLA.
The equipment currently used by the Taiwanese army is so obsolete that it could give China the opportunity to listen in to conversations between military units and obtain confidential information, the Liberty Times reported. The Navy announced on July 17 it was ordering a new system from the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) for NT$4,825,798,000, with the deadline for delivery reportedly set at the end of 2023.
