Late last year Taiwan completed sea trials for SeaShark naval drones and is buying 1,350 units at $750,000 each, officials said January 13, 2026. The SeaShark family, including the larger SeaShark 800 that can carry a one-ton explosive, uses autonomous guidance, navigational sensors and AI-enhanced communications to maintain swarm formations under electronic jamming. Analysts link the effort to Ukrainian drone successes and U.S. procurement gaps.
