Focus Taiwan:

Taiwan’s military on Thursday approved a project to install indigenous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) defense systems at 45 bases across the country, to neutralize hostile drone incursions, if necessary, according to a military source.

Under the five-year-project that runs until 2026, the defense ministry will spend NT$4.3 billion (US$146 million) to purchase the UAV defense systems, which were designed by Taiwan’s National Chung Shan Institute of Science & Technology (NCSIST), the source told CNA on condition of anonymity.

The UAV defense systems will be installed at 45 air, naval, and missile bases throughout the country, including those in remote mountain areas and on Taiwan’s outlying islands, the source said.
