INTERVIEW Anduril founder says Taiwan should become arms exporter; warns against China
Taiwan should look beyond its role as a global supplier of advanced semiconductors and become a major weapons supplier to shore up its own defenses and those of other countries, Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey said in an interview on Thursday.
In Taipei for the Computex trade show, which ended Friday, Luckey was asked by CNA about a range of issues, from how Taiwan could ramp up its production of drones — Anduril's specialty — to his views on doing business with China and dealing with its practices.
In a world where autonomous systems are becoming increasingly important in modern warfare, Taiwan faces a major gap in its domestic supply chain for specialized drone components, such as AI imaging modules and flight control systems and modules.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Two US defense firms, Anduril and Domo Tactical Communications (DTC), hoped to work more closely with Taiwanese counterparts during the American Institute in Taiwan’s biannual “Industry Day” event last Friday.
Anduril’s Taiwan head, Alexander Chang (張良治), said the company seeks to continue expanding industrial cooperation with Taiwan, CNA reported. Chang said that after on-site visits, the company found Taiwan has strong capabilities in optics, small engines, semiconductors, and precision machinery.
Thus, Anduril has hired a supply chain manager in Taiwan to identify suitable suppliers, Chang said. However, final procurement decisions depend on multiple factors, including delivery timelines, and the company has not set a fixed local production ratio, he said.
