Taiwan has conducted preliminary tests on launching an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from an attack unmanned surface vessel (USV), according to Taiwanese press reports. (From Australian Defence Magazine.)
On 6 August the Liberty Times reported that Taiwan’s Kuaiqi USV and Jingfeng UAV featured together in anti-surface vessel targeting tests carried out that day on the east coast of the island’s southern Hengchun Peninsula, located in Pingtung County. The next day the masthead published a picture of one of the USV’s fitted with what are claimed to be Jingfeng launching tubes, along with reports that UAVs were launched from a USV during the exercise.
