| Endeavor Manta |
Taiwan has unveiled its first combat unmanned boat Endeavor Manta, developed based on the experience of Ukrainian naval drones, which are actively used in the combat zone. This project, which started in 2024, marks the beginning of a new era in the Taiwanese defense industry, although progress in the creation of unmanned ships has remained relatively slow up to this point.
The Endeavor Manta, designed by CSBC Corporation, is 8.6 meters long, 3.7 meters wide and has a displacement of over five tons when fully loaded. . The case is made of reinforced composite materials, which provides resistance to damage. The boat is capable of carrying more than a ton of combat load, including missiles and drones, and its maximum speed reaches 64.82 km/h.
The development of Endeavor Manta was a response to the growing threats in the region. According to experts, the boat's design is partially borrowed from Ukrainian naval drones, which have proven themselves in real combat. This underscores Taiwan's commitment to adapt cutting-edge technologies to protect its interests.
Despite the progress, the angular design of the boat, according to analysts, can reduce its speed and seaworthiness. However, the successful launch of the project demonstrates Taiwan's determination to strengthen its defense, especially in the face of tensions with China.
