Taiwan, surrounded by ocean, views unmanned surface vessels (USVs) as vital to its defense strategy. The nation’s three major shipbuilders — CSBC Corp., Lungteh Shipbuilding, and Jong Shyn Shipbuilding — have each launched domestically developed USVs, with production capacity now expanding. These vessels are set to operate in tandem with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to create an integrated sea-air defense network.
