NCSIST Engages in Missile Tactics Evaluation 中科院試射飛彈 研判為雄昇或雲峰飛彈

The National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology attempted a missile test on Feb. 7 at Jiupeng Military Base in Pingtung. Meanwhile, In order to speed up the production of domestic missiles, the NCSIST opened up all sixteen of its production lines.

Within seconds after the missile shot into the sky, it disappeared into the clouds. The NCSIST engaged in missile tactics evaluation at Jiupeng Military Base in Pingtung. It is rumored that the test involves the Hsiung Sheng missile, which can wipe out the enemy source, or the mysterious Yun Feng Cruise missile. Thus many people await in the neighborhood early in the morning.

Citizen: “It is a lot faster than in the movies because movies use slow motion to depict that moment.”

The Ministry of National Defense announced that it has detected five Chinese military jets and 4 military ships around Taiwan. As such, the national army must quickly strengthen its combat power and secure all types of domestic missiles. The NCSIST opened up all sixteen of its production lines, with missile production at 800 missiles last year. Production will peak this year and next, reaching 1,000 missiles annually.

Sun Li-fang, Spokesperson, Ministry of National Defense: “Details include the types of missile bullets and its object, etc. Because this involves confidential military secrets so will not be explained during the press conference.”

President Tsai Ing-wen announced the establishment of a national drone team, where the NCSIST will act as a consolidator, through technology transfer to support domestic private drone enterprises and contract private companies to build five types of military drones. Prototypes are estimated to come out at the end of July. However, Thunder Tiger Corporation apparently used China-made drones for the National Day fireworks in 2022, which led to much controversy. The public worries that the research and development of the prototypes may involve a red supply chain.

Chi Li-pin, Dir., Aeronautical Systems Research Div., NCSIST: “Something that may lead to misconception is that they use open-source software, which, is internationally accepted. The modules with open interfaces are open for users to use, which can lower the costs. So I believe maybe this is where people misunderstood. We have also inspected onsite and did not discover any use of China-made elements.”

The national military requires up to 3,000 military drones. Will these private companies be able to deliver on time? The NCSIST noted that if the development of prototypes continues smoothly, mass production will begin next year.

飛彈升空，只有短短幾秒的時間就消失在雲層中，中科院上午在屏東九鵬基地進行飛彈戰術測評，傳出試射能源頭打擊的雄昇飛彈，或者極為神秘的雲峰飛彈，有民眾上午就在附近守候。

民眾表示：「比電影裡面的快很多，因為電影會用慢動作放這一瞬間。」

共軍威脅不斷，國防部7日發布偵獲共機5架次、共艦4艘次擾台，國軍要快速提升戰力，籌獲各式國產飛彈，中科院16條產線產能全開，去年飛彈產量達800枚，預計今年、明年能達到產能高峰，達成年產量1000枚的目標。

國防部發言人孫立方指出：「細節的包含它射擊的彈種、它的目的等等，這些同樣是因為牽涉到一些軍事機密的這個部分，那麼在記者會裡面就不會做詳細的說明。」

無人機在俄烏戰爭大放異彩，總統蔡英文宣布成立無人機國家隊，中科院擔任整合角色，透過技轉扶植國內無人機產業，交由民間廠商打造5款軍用商規無人機，原型機預計7月底出爐，不過，雷虎科技被點名去年國慶煙火使用陸製無人機惹議，外界擔憂原型機研發涉及紅色產業鏈。

中科院航空研究所長齊立平說明：「有一個會引起大家誤解的就是，他們使用的是一些開源軟體，所謂開源軟體，他可能是國際通用的一種開發的一個模組，開放的這些介面可以讓這些業者來使用，這可以降低他的成本。所以我想說可能是不是，大家對這個方面有點誤解，那我們實地去看過，是沒有發現使用陸製元件。」

國軍所需的軍用商規無人機高達3000架，民間是否能按期程交機？中科院表示，若原型機研發順利，明年就會正式量產。
