The new array is pointed in a northeasterly direction and was built sometime after November 2019. Its completion can potentially give China early warning of ballistic missile launches from North and South Korea, most of Japan and even parts of Russia¡¯s Far East.

The first LPAR at the site, located at 36¡Æ01¡Ç30¡È N, 118¡Æ05¡Ç31¡È E, is some 2,300 feet above sea level. It was finished sometime in 2013-2014 according to Google Earth¡¯s historical imagery and is oriented toward the south-southeast, almost certainly to provide radar coverage of Taiwan.

Another site at Korla in Xinjiang Province provides early warning coverage of India. In addition to providing warning against ballistic missile launches, LPARs can also be used for satellite tracking and general space surveillance. ½ÅÀå À§±¸¸£ ÀÚÄ¡±¸ÀÇ Äí¾ó·¯¿¡ À§Ä¡ÇÑ ¶Ç ´Ù¸¥ LPAR ·¹ÀÌ´õ ±âÁö´Â Àεµ¿¡ ´ëÇؼ Á¶±â ŽÁö ´É·ÂÀ» °®Ãßµµ·Ï ÇØÁØ´Ù.

The capabilities of the Chinese LPARs are not known, although the beam of the similar AN/FPS-115 radar found in the U.S. Pave Paws network can be deflected up to 60 degrees from the array¡¯s central boresight axis, allowing each array to cover an azimuth angle of 120 degrees.

Previously released photos of China¡¯s LPARs show that the array is also sloped, similar to that of the AN/FPS-115 which is sloped at an angle of 20 degrees, allowing the beam to be directed at any elevation angle between 3 degrees and 85 degrees.

The range of the Pave Paws radar network has not been officially published, although Encyclopedia Britannica says that the system ¡°is supposed to detect targets with a radar cross section of 10 square meters at a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km)¡±.
