Shield AI has announced an initial V-BAT delivery to Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration with local partner Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation, according to a company release published by Marine Insight.

The release says the programme will deliver twelve aircraft over the coming months. It also describes a presentation of newly arrived aircraft at the Port of Taipei on 7 October. Twelve is the programme quantity, not the number confirmed in the initial delivery.

The stated roles include maritime surveillance, coastal patrol and law enforcement. These are intended applications described by the supplier, rather than independently assessed operational results.
