interface of the PAVE Phased Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS) Taiwan received from the United States in 2013 has yet to be integrated with crucial two missile warning centers.

Luo was responding to a United Evening News report on Sunday that said the PAVE PAW radar system, installed at the Leshan (樂山) military base in a remote mountain area in Hsinchu County, and the missile centers had yet to be connected. [FULL STORY]
