Taiwan will develop or buy weapons from six US and Canadian companies that deepen its investment in autonomous systems, including Anduril Industries Inc.’s DIVE-LD underwater drone.
The pacts announced Thursday by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology in Taipei are meant to bolster the island’s defenses in the face of China’s growing military might. At a parade last month, the People’s Liberation Army showed off myriad new weapons, including missiles and undersea drones.
