Gallery: How Taiwan Is Strategizing To Deter China

Headlining the exhibition is the unveiling of the Strong Bow ballistic missile defense system, capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles at altitudes of 70 km (43 mi.).

Forming the lower-tier air defense system is the Land Sword II surface-to-air missile, based on the Sky Sword II air-to-air missile.

Taiwan's National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) developed the Jin Feng (Mighty Hornet) loitering munition family, starting with the Mighty Hornet-I, a personnel-fired munition.

Mighty Hornet-II is based on the Chien Hsiang anti-radiation munition. Now fitted with AI-powered computer vision, Mighty Hornet-II is primarily used against surface targets. 

Mighty Hornet-III is the only vertical-takeoff loitering munition under the Mighty Hornet family. It is recoverable if not expended. 

The Mighty Hornet-IV is a collaboration with U.S.-based Kratos Defense, based on the MQM-178 Firejet modified with external pylons and seeker head.

Anduril and NCSIST are looking to deploy the Barracuda 500 as a ground-fired, low-cost cruise missile.

Anduril is also supplying the Ghost-X UAS fitted with NCSIST optics.

The Taiwanese military is also designing truck-mounted multiple rocket launchers to saturate invading forces with 2.75-in. rockets.

Local private company Jin Ming unveiled the Saber LR300, a jet-powered, first-person-view drone with endurance of 20 min.
