Taiwan will acquire an AI-powered satellite imagery system capable of rapidly identifying People’s Liberation Army ships, aircraft and missile launchers, as it seeks to boost early-warning capabilities in the face of growing military pressure from Beijing.
The NT$46.55 million (US$1.45 million) system will use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse satellite images covering 100 sq km (38.6 square miles) within minutes, potentially cutting the time and manpower needed to track changes in PLA deployments, according to the island’s defence ministry.
In a public procurement notice this week, the ministry’s Communication Development Office (CDO), a primary military intelligence unit, awarded the contract to ThinkTron, a Taiwan-Japan joint venture specialising in AI, geospatial information systems and monitoring technology.
The contract took effect on September 25, and the system is expected to be completed by the end of April.
