SJ-202 Gin Sling A.
The SJ-202 is a fire control radar and is reported by Taiwan to be associated with the KAISHAN-1 (KS-1) SAM, although is may also be deployed for use with the HongQi-2 (HQ-2B/J) and SA-2 SAM detachments, where the latter still exist.
It appears to be an indigenous development of the system known generically to NATO as GIN SLING (see also separate entry for 2FA(B) / GIN SLING B), out of the Russian FAN SONG system to which it has very similar physical attributes and, therefore may exhibit similar transmission parameters, particularly as it appears to deploy identical LEWIS scan tracking antennas in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
In this respect, although variously reported so to be, it is not a phased-array radar. The Lewis scanners are anticipated to function in the 10~25 Hertz range, and other parameters may be similar to those of GIN SLING B.
