首度參加美國最大無人機展　聚焦非紅供應鏈能量

據了解，我國將組成約百人規模的無人機產業代表團，赴美參加「XPONENTIAL 2026」國際海陸空無人載具暨自駕系統展，中科院也將首度赴美參展，展出重點鎖定「非紅供應鏈」與自主無人系統合作成果。

Taiwan is reportedly preparing to send a delegation of around 100 representatives to participate in XPONENTIAL 2026, one of the largest international exhibitions for unmanned and autonomous systems in the United States. Taiwan’s National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) will also attend the event in the US for the first time, focusing on showcasing “non-China supply chain” capabilities and autonomous unmanned systems cooperation projects.

展出勁蜂系列無人機　尋求切入美國軍用市場

消息指出，中科院此次將展出「勁蜂二型」、「勁蜂三型」及「勁蜂四型」等無人機產品，其中部分型號已與美國廠商合作。外界分析，美商Kratos未來有機會自行銷售勁蜂四型，協助中科院產品切入美國軍用市場。

Sources indicated that NCSIST plans to showcase its Chien Hsiang II, III, and IV drone series, including models developed in cooperation with US companies. Analysts believe US defense firm Kratos may eventually market the Chien Hsiang IV independently, potentially helping Taiwanese unmanned systems enter the American military market.

李世強親自率隊　盼拓展國際合作機會

此次展覽將於12日至14日在美國底特律舉行，由經濟部、「台灣卓越無人機海外商機聯盟」等單位共同籌組，邀集近百家台灣業者參與；中科院團隊則由院長李世強親自率隊。

The exhibition will take place from the 12th to the 14th in Detroit, organized by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Taiwan Excellence Drone International Business Alliance, with nearly 100 Taiwanese companies expected to participate. NCSIST’s delegation will be led personally by institute president Lee Shih-Chiang.

　相關人士指出，中科院此次赴美參展，帶有「試水溫」意味，希望藉機評估國際市場需求，同時尋求無人機、無人艇與水下無人載具等領域的更多國際合作機會。

Industry insiders noted that NCSIST’s participation serves as a “market test,” allowing Taiwan to assess international demand while seeking broader cooperation opportunities in unmanned aerial, surface, and underwater systems.

美國2027年禁用「紅色零件」　台灣成關鍵供應節點

業界人士表示，美國正以極高速度推動無人機自主供應鏈建設，並已規劃自2027年起，軍用無人機不得使用中國製零件。台灣憑藉半導體與電子產業優勢，被視為重要合作對象。

Industry representatives stated that the United States is rapidly accelerating efforts to establish an independent drone supply chain and plans to prohibit Chinese-made components in military drones beginning in 2027. Taiwan, with its strong semiconductor and electronics sectors, is viewed as a key partner in this transition.

台灣設立Green UAS認證據點　加速接軌美系標準

在台美合作架構下，工研院今年4月已正式與美國無人機系統協會（AUVSI）簽約，在台灣成立美國海外唯一的「Green UAS」認證據點，協助台灣業者快速接軌美系無人機供應標準。

As part of Taiwan-US cooperation efforts, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) signed an agreement in April with the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) to establish the only overseas “Green UAS” certification center in Taiwan, helping local companies align with US drone supply chain standards.

　據透露，美方已將台灣納入「穩定供應來源」之一，特別是在短、中、長程無人機零組件與動力系統方面，台灣未來可望扮演更重要角色。

Sources revealed that the United States has incorporated Taiwan into its list of “stable supply sources,” particularly for short-, medium-, and long-range drone components and propulsion systems, potentially giving Taiwan a more important role in future supply chains.

AI與自主接戰成趨勢　無人機發展邁向新階段

航太專家指出，傳統由人員直接操控無人機進行打擊的模式，未來將逐漸被AI自主作戰取代；新世代無人機將結合人工智慧、邊緣運算與單人多機操作能力，並朝向自主接戰方向發展。

Aerospace experts noted that traditional human-operated drone strike operations will gradually be replaced by AI-enabled autonomous warfare systems. Next-generation drones are expected to integrate artificial intelligence, edge computing, and one-operator multi-drone control capabilities while moving toward autonomous engagement functions.

　此外，未來還將發展低成本遊蕩彈藥與專門攔截敵方無人機的「攔截型無人機」，並可能在兩年內進入量產階段。

In addition, future developments are expected to include low-cost loitering munitions and dedicated interceptor drones designed to track, disable, or destroy hostile UAVs, with mass production potentially beginning within two years.

專家：台灣需整合產業能量　搶占全球市場

專家認為，台灣擁有晶片與電子供應鏈優勢，但仍需整合產業資源與提升量產能力，才能在全球非紅供應鏈重組過程中，真正建立長期競爭優勢。

Experts believe Taiwan possesses strong advantages in semiconductors and electronics supply chains, but must further integrate industrial resources and expand production capacity in order to secure a long-term competitive edge amid the restructuring of global non-China drone supply chains.
