The military has completed deployment of drone jammers and is considering establishing other anti-drone systems capable of interfering with uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) and warning the military before they come into visual range, an Executive Yuan report said yesterday.
The military’s intelligence capabilities enable it to remain one step ahead of the enemy, the report to the Legislative Yuan said, adding that the military would continue to closely monitor Chinese military deployments.
The military is enhancing the resilience of connections between its platforms and control and command systems, it said.
It is also looking into integrating military and civilian systems to enhance overall cyberwarfare capabilities, it added.
It would work with other ministries on cybersecurity exercises to bolster its defense against information warfare, the report said.
As of the end of last year, the Ministry of National Defense had delivered 27 of the 66 Brave Eagle, or Yung Ying (勇鷹), advanced jet trainers it had ordered, it said.
The defense ministry and the Ministry of Economic Affairs have selected eight companies to produce 36 commercial-grade UAVs of five different types for military use, which are expected to be delivered between this year and 2028, the report said.
The military is awaiting delivery of the Hai Kun (海鯤), or “Narwhal,” submarine; anti-air and anti-submarine variants of guided-missile frigates; and an auxiliary rescue and salvage ship that was launched for trials on March 27 last year, following its acquisition of the Yushan (玉山) landing platform dock, which was delivered to the navy on June 19 last year, it said.
The defense ministry last year obtained 293 technologies, facilities or products to ensure that its maintenance capabilities can keep up with its new acquisitions, the report added.
