Since the PLA began flying drones within the area last September, Taiwan\u2019s Defense Ministry recorded one flight in April and two in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, D.C., that tracks these developments, the PLA might begin conducting these unmanned flights more often over the next two years, along with piloted aircraft. China considers Taiwan a rogue province, and has threatened to take it back by force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid this ongoing threat, Taiwanese defense officials have pointed to their country\u2019s underdeveloped drone capabilities. Taipei has attempted to tackle this gap by creating two national drone programs focused on different capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe first is the Drone National Team and focuses on building and producing a variety of military drones, with nine private companies included thus far in the program. The second, the Drone Defense National Team, centers around counter-drone systems, and its sole prime contractor is Tron Future,\u201d Yu-Jiu Wang, the CEO of the Taiwan-based firm, told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the IDEX arms fair held in the United Arab Emirates in February, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/newsletters\/unmanned-systems\/2023\/02\/24\/anti-drone-radars-ready-for-mass-deployment-in-taiwan-says-vendor\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tron Future<\/a> said its aim was to produce 100 anti-drone radars in 2023 due to an increased demand. It\u2019s unclear if the company reached this objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7200\" height=\"4736\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg 7200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg?resize=300,197 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg?resize=768,505 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,674 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1010 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1087790426.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1347 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 7200px) 100vw, 7200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ships launching countermeasures are seen on a screen showing a real-time feed from an indigenously made Rui Yuan drone during a military exercise at the Pingtung Airbase in southern Taiwan on Jan. 24, 2019.

equipment to Tron Future for system integration, and that the manufacturer also provides radars, jammers and sensors to the Drone Defense program for its own assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan ultimately wants to amass about 3,200 military UAVs of different types by June 2024 under the Drone National Team, the more offensive-oriented program, Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/us-china-tech-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yu-Jiu decline to comment on the feasibility of this goal, but stated the project is expected to last at least five years, and that the drones\u2019 specifications are regularly assessed and upgraded based on the latest trial results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTaiwan is preparing to have some of the world\u2019s most comprehensive drone-defense capabilities in all major military and civilian infrastructure within the next two years,\u201d Yu-Jiu said. \u201cThis is a race of technologies, so the requirements are constantly being enhanced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any countermeasures must be able to neutralize drone swarms, Yu-Jiu added, by using sophisticated sensors, artificial intelligence and distributed control systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAutonomous swarm soft-kill [non-kinetic] countermeasures are starting to be deployed later this year [in Taiwan], and autonomous swarm hard-kill ones are currently under development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taiwan is trying to accelerate the development and production of military drones and
