DEFENSE
The NCSIST in Taiwan is set to develop low-cost munitions to counter potential Chinese aggression, with test flights anticipated in 2026. The MND intends to source munitions for the 'T-Dome' project, which aims to create a comprehensive defense system against missiles and rockets.
A report from the MND emphasizes the importance of affordable air defense solutions to protect Taiwan's missile reserves. Also, the timeline for the delivery of four MQ-9B surveillance drones from the U.S. has been revised, with the first two expected in the third quarter of 2026.
