As global interest in unmanned vehicles expands beyond aerial drones, the development of surface vessels and underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs) is gaining increased attention. In the past several years, countries like the US and China have invested substantial resources in enhancing fully autonomous and semi-autonomous platforms for both surface and underwater operations. Given Taiwan’s geographic position surrounded by water, industry experts emphasize that developing UUVs is essential, despite development hurdles being significantly greater than those faced in aerial drone systems.
