Three Companies Partner to Build China-Free Drone Factories
Taiwan has announced plans to invest $1.38 billion in its domestic drone industry, with a focus on building a ’non-red’ supply chain. Aerkomm, GTOC Tactical Technology, and Firestorm Labs have partnered to produce drones locally and rapidly, with the goal of reducing Taiwan’s dependence on foreign suppliers. The partnership aims to integrate local payloads and subsystems, and build a defense-manufacturing model that scales quickly while staying distributed and resistant to supply disruptions. This development was first reported by Streetwise Reports.
