[Reporter Luo Tianbin/Taipei Report] The Navy invested 7.41254 billion yuan in the "Jianlong-class Submarine Combat System Upgrade Project".

A military official said today that the current progress of the entire case is in accordance with the planning and schedule of the commissioning agreement. It is expected that the shore-based test station will be completed in the second half of this year.

The two Stegosaurus-class submarines "Hailong and Haihu" currently in service in the Navy, due to the outdated combat system and the disappearance of commercial resources, the military plans to cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and foreign manufacturers to implement the "Stegoloon-class Submarine Battle" System upgrade project”, the whole project is expected to complete 3 sets of system upgrade projects (1 set is a reserved system) and the construction of a shore test station.

According to military sources, the original plan was to complete the performance improvement of two Stegosaurus-class submarines and the acceptance test of a set of preparatory systems in 2024, but due to the export license documents for some red zone equipment, it took a long time. It was only obtained, which also led to the arrival of the relevant equipment in Taiwan, which was much later than the scheduled schedule, disrupting the implementation schedule of the Stegosaurus-class submarine combat system upgrade project.

Military personnel pointed out that in order to verify that the functions and effects of various systems of the Stegosaurus-class submarine can meet the combat effectiveness planned by the Navy after the performance improvement project, the military will prepare a shore-based test station in this plan. , when the performance of the Stegosaurus-class submarine is improved and the relevant equipment is refitted, it can be moved from the dock to the shore test station by the port for various tests.

The Ministry of National Defense also pointed out in the latest report sent to the Legislative Yuan that the entire case commission for the "Jianlong-class submarine combat system upgrade" was implemented by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The group implements project progress supervision and management.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has completed the signing of major and sub-item equipment orders with foreign manufacturers, and obtained the equipment export license. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and foreign manufacturers will complete the production and integration of combat equipment in accordance with the agreement. The Navy will continue to supervise the Chinese Academy of Sciences to plan to complete each equipment Production and acquisition, in order to complete the upgrade of the combat system on schedule and with high quality.
