00:00Totally self-made, integrated with AI, this is the Overkill FPV drone system, built by Taiwanese manufacturer Thunder Tiger.
00:12The drone has made its way onto the international stage, appearing at this year's conference of the Association of the United States Army in Washington, D.C.
00:21Along with this unmanned attack bolt that's able to resist electronic jamming, operate in coordinated swarms, and is even past sea trials.
00:35It's a system Taiwan hopes will strengthen its ability to defend itself against larger forces, such as the Chinese military.
00:43In September, the Overkill FPV received Blue UAS certification from the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit, the first Taiwanese drone maker to be recognized in this way.
01:07This certification ensures the drone is free of security risks, especially since 90% of drone motors are typically made in China.
01:16The company says the certification also opens the door to closer collaboration with international partners.
01:22In recent years, Taiwan has been working to build a non-red supply chain for its defense industry.
01:51That is, one that is free from Chinese components and influence.
