The Republic of China Navy (Taiwanese Navy) has ordered 440 highly advance AN/SSQ-53F sonobuoys from the United States to improve its anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities.
Taiwanese Navy will recieve 440 AN/SSQ-53F directional frequency and ranging (DIFAR) sonobuoy in a deal worth US$335,000.
The AN/SSQ-53F are used by the United States navy from its maritime patrol aircraft and helicopters to listen for enemy submarines by gathering emissions created by them when they move underwater.
The Republic of China Navy will deploy these latest sonobuoys long with 12 refurbished P-3C Orion turboprop anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft which will start arriving later this year.
Combination of the P-3C Orion turboprop anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft and AN/SSQ-53F directional frequency and ranging (DIFAR) sonobuoy will be used to keep a close eye on the ever growing fleet of conventional and nuclear submarines.
