Exhibitor Increase Expected at Taipei Show
TAIPEI — A 27 percent increase in the number of exhibitors is expected at this year's biennial Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition (TADTE), although the foreign presence will decline, said Alvin Hu, a TADTE media representative.
In total, there will be 126 exhibitors and 694 booths, with foreign representatives from Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Sweden, United Kingdom and the United States at the Aug. 13-16 exhibition.
"This is the only exhibition in Taiwan that integrates civilian and military aerospace equipment and components, as well as national defense weaponry and related equipment in one show," Hu said.
Unmanned vehicles will be in the spotlight this year. For the first time, TADTE will have an Unmanned Area with 12 exhibitors (in comparison to only four in 2013). New product launches will include DWTEK's Investigator 90/Remotely Operated Underwater Robot; Geosat Aerospace Technology's High Accuracy UAV Orthophoto Systems; and Carbon Based Technology's Unmanned Aerial Mapping Systems.
There will be two unmanned vehicle conferences at the show: the Unmanned Aircraft Technology Development and the Latest Application Conference, and Application for UAS and FAA Regulations Conference.
Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) will have its own pavilion and MND's Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology is expected to showcase its Hsiung Feng 3 (Brave Wind) anti-ship cruise missile (dubbed the carrier killer), Tien Kung 3 (Sky Bow) air defense missile system and Tien Chien (Sky Sword) air-to-air defense missile system for the Air Force's Indigenous Defense Fighter aircraft.
There is also growth in other areas of the exhibition. The Chinese Association for General Aviation Development Area has jumped from zero to 14 exhibitors, and the Precision Machine Tool Area from zero to seven. The Taiwan Aerospace Industry Association Area has risen from three to 11.
However, there is a decline in foreign exhibitors. The international presence has dropped from 14 to nine since 2013. This year, TADTE lost Boeing, Raytheon and Sikorsky, with only one top-tier company exhibiting — Lockheed Martin.
Despite the lack of a strong US defense industry presence this year, US companies play a major role in Taiwan's defense modernization efforts. Lockheed is upgrading Taiwan's F-16 fighter fleet aircraft; recent helicopter sales include 30 Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopters ($2.53 billion) and 60 Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk utility helicopters ($3.1 billion) for the Army Aviation Command; Raytheon is delivering new Patriot PAC-3 and upgrading PAC-2 air defense missiles systems; Northrop Grumman will be providing the active electronically scanned array (the SABR) radars for the F-16 upgrade; and Raytheon continues to offer technical support for Taiwan's early warning radar program.
An announcement by the US is expected in the fourth quarter for the sale of eight to 10 MH-60R Seahawk anti-submarine warfare helicopters via the US Foreign Military Sales program to replace aging MD500 "Defender" helicopters.
Lockheed and Raytheon recently sent technical teams to inspect Taiwan's Dutch-built diesel attack submarines for a possible upgrade contract. Both companies are also interested in supplying products for Taiwan's planned Indigenous Defense Submarine build of four-to-eight diesel attack submarines, said a Taiwan defense analyst.
The Army has been stung by an MND decision to table its request for refurbished US-built M-1 Abrams tanks. The Army has requested refurbished M-1s for a decade now, according to a US defense industry source. Issues regarding weight and budget issues are described as the main hurdles.
The Army did attempt to reduce criticism of the purchase by changing its selection from the 68-ton M1A2 to the 60-ton M1A1 variant, and with a proposal to replace the turbine engines with diesels to save on fuel and reduce weight. Still, MND decided to forgo the procurement for the time being.
A common criticism of the tank purchase is related to Taiwan's geography, which consists of a mountainous interior and a low, wetland coastline, and many of Taiwan's bridges are incapable of handling the weight. Taiwan's current tanks are a mix of 50- to 52-ton M-48s and M-60s.
The lack of US exhibitors also reflects continued budget cuts by the US defense industry, according to another US defense industry source. Most deals are done through the Pentagon's Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program office and many of the companies try to keep a low profile in Taiwan due to objections by China, he said.
Companies like Boeing and Sikorsky participate in commercial manufacturing programs and direct commercial sales with China. This is why there are few direct military sales to Taiwan and almost everything is done via FMS, he said.

美媒：美軍工巨頭派員赴台 助其自建8艘新型潛艇
據美國《防務新聞》網站8日報導，兩年一屆的台北國際航空航天和國防工業展覽會(TADTE)將於8月13日至16日舉行，這一島內唯一軍民用航空航天産品及軍備展覽上，將展出大量台灣自主研發的武器。航天展媒體代表阿爾文·胡表示，參展商的數量將比前一屆增加27%。
《防務新聞》報導稱，無人平台將成為本屆展會的焦點，不僅無人機展商將達到12家(2013年只有4家)，而且新産品除了採用高解析度攝像系統的無人機外，還包括“調查者-90”遙控水下機器人等。同時，展會期間也會舉行兩場無人駕駛車輛技術研討會，以及無人飛行系統的使用法規交流會。
台灣“國防部”將有自己的獨立展區。據相關人士透露，“國防部”下屬的“中科院”至少將帶來30項産品，主要包括被稱為航母殺手的“雄風-3”超音速反艦導彈、“天弓-3”防空反導系統、“天劍-2”中距空空導彈及其衍生型“海劍-2”中程艦空導彈等。其中小型裝備是用實品展示，大型設備和武器則以模型方式展示。
盡管島內企業和研究機構表現得“生龍活虎”，但台灣在重大軍購項目上的對外依賴卻沒有絲毫降低。在台北航天展上，盡管外國參展商及國際業務顯著下降，像2013年台北航天展上來了美國波音、雷神和西科斯基公司，但今年只有洛克希德·馬丁公司來捧場，但外商壟斷台灣重大軍購訂單的局面沒有改變。
《防務新聞》透露，美國有望在今年第四季度通過對外軍售模式(FMS)對台銷售8-10架MH-60R“海鷹”反潛直升機，以取代台軍老舊的MD500“防禦者”直升機。
另外，洛·馬和雷神公司最近向台灣派出技術團隊，研究台軍現役兩艘荷蘭造“旗魚”級柴電潛艇的升級方案，兩家公司也准備協助台灣自建4-8艘潛艇。台軍未來還會陸續接收多項美軍二手武器，除了尚在交付中的P-3C反潛巡邏機，以及正執行接艦手續的二手“佩里”級護衛艦，未來還將購買大量翻新的M1A1主戰坦克。
