WhiteFox Defense Technologies, a U.S. leader in counter-unmanned aerial systems, and MiTAC Advance Technology Corp., a Taiwan-based technology systems integration company, have announced a long-term strategic partnership to jointly manufacture, integrate, and deploy next-generation counter-drone systems for the Taiwan Ministry of Defense and other national security stakeholders.

Why it matters

The collaboration combines WhiteFox's proven RF detection, identification, tracking, and mitigation technologies with MiTAC's in-country manufacturing, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment capabilities. This establishes a sovereign, locally sustained counter-drone capability designed to protect Taiwan's airspace, military installations, and critical infrastructure from emerging unmanned threats.

The details

Under the agreement, MiTAC will lead manufacturing and final system assembly of the DroneFox counter-drone system in Taiwan while sourcing components and materials through Taiwan's domestic industrial base. WhiteFox will provide core RF technologies, system architecture, and engineering design. MiTAC will also serve as the program lead locally, supporting demonstrations, installation, training, spare parts logistics, and long-term sustainment.

  • The partnership was announced on February 12, 2026.
