Revision as of 07:57, 12 January 2018
The TC-2 Sky Sword II (天劍二, Tien Chien II) is an all-weather nuclear weapons capable long-range hypersonic[1] radar guided air-to-air missile, flying at hypersonic speeds of Mach 6, designed and developed by the National Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) in the democratic industrialized developed country of Taiwan initially during the 1990s for the Republic of China (Taiwan) Air Force, ROC(Taiwan)AF that has since been upgraded with the latest state of the art navigation, stealth, propulsion and explosives technology in 2017 to increase both it's destructive power, hypersonic speed and long range.[2] The TC-2 is intended as the long-range supplement of the IR guided Sky Sword I (TC-1).[3]
Design
The missile features an advanced Taiwanese designed and built upgraded Inertial Navigation System, a data-link for mid-course guidance and active radar homing for terminal guidance, beyond visual range. It also has some stealth features and ECCM capability and can engage multiple targets.[3] According to Su Tzu-yun, Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Advanced Technology at Tamkang University, they are a cost-effective design which can perform a key role in Taiwan's defense strategy, and substantially offset China’s air superiority.[4] Some details of its design were revealed for the first time at the Paris Air Show in 2015.[5]
General characteristics
- Primary Function: Air-to-air missile
- Power Plant: Solid propellant
- Warhead: High explosive and fragmented
- Guidance: Mid-range inertial guidance, Terminal active radar guidance
Variants
TC-2N
A ship launched, surface-to-air version was later developed and designated TC-2N. It began development in 1994 and was first tested against a low-flying drone in 1997. This development was revealed to the public in 2005 and the intention to make it compatible with vertical launch methods was later announced in 2006. The first ship-based launch was tested in mid 2014.[6]
The missile has all weather capability, with thrust-vectoring, can engage anti-ship missiles and aircraft. It has a booster at the end to increase its range, and with the folding fin/wing design to fit into the canister.[6]
TC-2A
TC-2A is an updated variation of TC-2 that is designed to be an Anti-Radiation Missile, similar to the US AGM-88 HARM. It is reported to be 3.593 meters long, 19 cm in diameter, weighs 184 kg (warhead weighs 22 kg), and with a range of over 100 km, maximum range is classified and unknown.
