In a key address to Taiwan’s engineers, Palmer Luckey, CEO of Anduril, highlighted the role of defense technology in Taiwan’s survival. With China’s growing threat, Taiwan’s democracy could rely on AI-driven unmanned systems and defense innovations.
Luckey visited Taiwan to open a new Anduril office and sign a deal with South Korea. Anduril, known for AI-driven loitering munitions, will deliver Altius loitering munitions to Taiwan within six months. These weapons will strengthen Taiwan’s defense infrastructure.
At Taiwan’s Artificial Intelligence Academy, Luckey discussed Taiwan’s potential to lead a techno-industrial renaissance in defense. He compared it to Ukraine’s success in building drones to counter Russian attacks. Taiwan, with a skilled workforce, government support, and private investment, can lead the world in defense technology.
Unmanned systems are transforming military strategies globally. Anduril, along with other companies, is ramping up drone production. Taiwan aims to buy 50,000 drones in two years to counter China.
AI-driven defense technology is reshaping military planning. Companies like Anduril and Palantir are central to U.S. and allied strategies in Taiwan and Eastern Europe.
Taiwan’s commitment to using AI and unmanned systems shows it is ready to protect its democracy. With Anduril defense technology, Taiwan’s defenses will be more agile and innovative.
