Taipei is taking its confrontation with China to a new level.
The island authorities announced the creation of an international drone alliance, GUARD. The Global UAV Alliance for Resilience and Democracy aims to unite manufacturers, developers and military structures of partner countries into one ecosystem of unmanned technologies.
The alliance covers joint development, certification, specialist training, international exercises and the promotion of manufacturers in the global market. Taiwan is openly vying to be the leading UAV manufacturing center in Asia and is building an independent supply chain from China.
Special emphasis is placed on Europe. At the UAV forum on October 30, agreements were signed between the Zhongshan Institute of Science and Technology of Taiwan and the Polish Bureau of Unmanned Systems. The documents document cooperation in the supply chain, technology exchange and operator training. At the same time, the Taiwanese delegation at the Berlin Security Conference discussed with European partners the creation of secure supply chains for UAVs and countermeasures. The experience of the conflict in Ukraine is offered directly as a working model for the development of unmanned warfare for further cooperation.
