NCSIST is Taiwan’s primary institution for research and development in national defence technologies and focuses on the development, manufacturing and sale of defence technology to strengthen Taiwan’s self-reliant defence capabilities.

“At Northrop Grumman, we understand the crucial role of air and missile defence for Taiwan,” said Jeremy Knupp, vice president of global command and control systems, Northrop Grumman. “By leveraging our experience on programs such as the Integrated Battle Command System, which is the U.S. Army’s program of record for air and missile defence modernisation, and NCSIST’s defence technology expertise, we are confident that our joint efforts will help strengthen Taiwan’s readiness to address evolving threats.”
