Mighty Hornet IV: A Step Towards Taiwanese Technological Autonomy

The Mighty Hornet IV drone, developed in Taiwan, has successfully completed integration tests in the United States. This achievement represents a significant step towards the goal of commencing full production of the drone directly in Taiwan.

The local production of the Mighty Hornet IV is seen as a key element in strengthening the island's technological autonomy and improving its defense capabilities. The project is managed by the NCSIST (National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology).

This development underscores the strategic importance of having local production capabilities in the defense sector, reducing dependence on external suppliers and ensuring greater control over the technology employed.
