Taiwan develops AI drone swarm system for maritime grey-zone surveillance

Taiwan's Ocean Affairs Council is funding an AI-powered system to coordinate autonomous drone swarms for maritime surveillance, with a simulation of 20 aircraft completed. The system aims to counter Beijing's grey-zone activities by enabling persistent, wide-area coastguard operations. This marks a notable shift toward autonomous capabilities in Taiwan's asymmetric defense posture, though it remains in development and unproven in operational settings.
