Development[]

Development for an air defense radar system begun in July 1974, with design finalized in August 1975, consisted of two radars, the 1st being a search radar designated as Type 347S with S stands for search, and a 2nd fire control radar for guns, designated as Type 347G with G as gun. Design was completed by the 723rd Institute in May 1976 and finalized in October 1977. Subsystems tests on land were completed by the end of 1982. After further tests from November 1986 to September 1987, the system was accepted into service, and Type 347S radar subsequently renamed as Type 362 radar.^[1]

A possibly updated variant have been seen on the Type 022 Houbei class PFG under the guise export designation of MR36A and is currently marketed through CETC.
