Taiwan invests in 'asymmetric' unmanned boats to counter maritime gray-zone harassment (opens in a new tab)

Taiwan intercepted four Chinese coast guard vessels intruding into Kinmen waters on November 6. To counter China’s maritime gray-zone harassment, Taiwan is investing in asymmetric unmanned boat technology, showcasing systems like STR8 Industries’ *Ghostwake* and MARTAC’s *Devil Ray T24* at its first maritime unmanned systems expo. Officials and experts emphasized the need for AI, indigenous defense tech, and unmanned systems to improve surveillance, reduce risks to personnel, and enhance operational flexibility. Taiwan asserts China’s actions violate international law and aims to deploy scalable, cost-effective unmanned platforms for defense.

How Ukraine's unmanned boat experience can be referenced—DSET proposes trilateral cooperation direction (opens in a new tab)

The article discusses how Ukraine’s unmanned boat warfare experience could inform Taiwan’s asymmetric defense strategies, though direct application is limited due to differing sea conditions, communication challenges, and defense environments in the Taiwan Strait. The DSET report suggests trilateral cooperation (Taiwan-U.S.-Ukraine or Taiwan-Japan-Ukraine) to combine Taiwan’s manufacturing strengths with Ukraine’s software and combat expertise, while addressing export controls and intellectual property concerns. While Ukraine’s low-cost, high-impact unmanned boats have proven effective in the Black Sea, Taiwan’s harsher maritime conditions and lack of combat experience may reduce their immediate effectiveness. The report emphasizes the need for localized testing, modular development, and cost-benefit analysis before scaling procurement.

Taiwan’s 'Feng Jin Mo Gui Yu' unmanned boat appears at marine tech expo, previously accompanied Hai Kun submarine for sea trials (opens in a new tab)

Taiwan’s "Feng Jin Mo Gui Yu" unmanned surface vessel, developed by CSBC, debuted at the 2026 MATURE Taiwan expo. The 8.6-meter trimaran features stealth design, AI target recognition, and a top speed of 35+ knots, with capabilities for asymmetric warfare and port security. It has accompanied Taiwan’s Hai Kun submarine in sea trials and supports swarm operations of up to 50 vessels per control station. While still a prototype without government contracts, CSBC estimates potential annual production of 40–500 units.

Marine tech and unmanned vehicle expo opens; major US unmanned boat manufacturers attend, with Hsiao Bi-khim making a special appearance (opens in a new tab)

The 2026 Taiwan Marine Technology and Unmanned Vehicle Expo (MATURE Taiwan) opened in Tainan from November 3–5, with a preview event held on November 2. Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim attended, emphasizing the shift toward flexible, cost-effective unmanned vehicles for defense and the need for integrated AI and sensor networks across domains. Major U.S. unmanned boat manufacturers, including MARTAC, STR8, and Taiwan’s Thunder Tiger, demonstrated capabilities, though some firms were restricted from full displays due to security concerns. The event highlighted international collaboration, particularly between Taiwan’s tech strengths and U.S./European operational expertise.
