The Sea Oryx (Chinese: 海劍羚飛彈系統; pinyin: Hǎi jiàn líng fēidàn xìtǒng) is a lightweight, infrared homing short-range air defense system developed for the Republic of China (Taiwan) Navy. Based on the TC-1L surface-to-air missile, it is designed to defend against anti-ship missiles, helicopters, and low flying fixed-wing jet airplanes. It is reported to be a copy of the American/German RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile and uses components of the Sky Sword I air-to-air missile.
