Taiwan says ‘T-Dome’ to better integrate air defence system for higher kill rate

Taiwan’s “T-Dome” air defence system will establish a more efficient and integrated “sensor-to-shooter” mechanism for a higher kill rate, with a year-end special budget to propose specific spending on the system, the defence minister said on Monday. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te unveiled the multi-layered air defence system he called “T-Dome” on Friday, part of government plans to modernise the military to better deter China, which views the island as its own territory and has ramped up military and political pressure. Speaking to reporters at parliament in Taipei, Defence Minister Wellington Koo said Lai’s proposal referred to the “sensor-to-shooter” concept, to integrate systems for a faster, more effective response to enemy targets.
“If you do achieve integration, the probability of successful interception naturally increases and you can conduct firepower coordination with greater efficiency and better resource allocation,” he said.
