Taiwan has established a new Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to accelerate the integration of drones and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems into its military strategy. This unit, modeled after the US DIU, will bridge the gap between civilian technological advancements and their applications in the defense sector. The Taiwanese DIU, operating under the Ministry of National Defense's (MND) Department of Integrated Assessment, will combine the resources of the MND's top research facility, the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST), with those of civilian defense technology companies.
Acknowledging Taiwan's limitations in academic research and development, Minister Koo admitted that replicating the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is not feasible. Instead, the DIU will focus on rapidly enhancing Taiwan's combat capabilities by prioritizing the integration of drones and AI technologies. The MND's procurement budget for domestically produced military drones is set between NT$50 billion and NT$60 billion, with an additional NT$10 billion allocated for acquiring drones from the US.
