The war in Ukraine, marked by 2024 as a turning point, has become the first large-scale drone war in history. Suicide drones have overwhelmed traditional tanks and infantry, and countering them with expensive missiles is cost-ineffective. This paradigm shift necessitates the establishment of domestic mass-production systems for reconnaissance, attack, and interceptor drones.
This seminar will cover:
1. Large-scale drone warfare in Ukraine and Iran
2. Drone production and cooperation systems in Europe and the US
3. Taiwan’s drone production strategy
4. Japan's multi-layered coastal defense system [SHIELD] by the Ministry of Defense
5. Initiatives by Japanese private firms such as Terra Drone
