Taiwan will develop or purchase weapons from six US and Canadian defence‑tech firms, deepening investment in autonomous systems and software — from counter‑UAS solutions to undersea platforms — notably Anduril’s DIVE‑LD underwater drone, as Taipei races to field battle‑tested capabilities against growing regional threats.

Briefing
Taiwan’s deals expand its autonomous and loitering‑munitions posture and follow recent Anduril activity in the region, including Anduril’s Altius‑600M delivery and new Taipei presence.
The inclusion of undersea and software‑centric systems reflects Anduril’s growing production and maritime footprint, linked to its Rhode Island factory for underwater vehicles and other regional contracts.
Taipei’s procurement complements indigenous and partnered efforts to field loitering munitions and strike options, such as the ongoing Chien Feng IV development with Kratos, signalling a broader acceleration of unmanned force structure in the Taiwan Strait.
