Bill > HR4860

This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of Defense to establish a strategic partnership with Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense to strengthen defense cooperation and technology development. The partnership aims to enhance market opportunities for defense technology companies in both the United States and Taiwan, bolster Taiwan's defense industrial base, and develop emerging technologies that can help counter potential threats from China. Specifically, the bill seeks to coordinate defense industrial priorities, streamline research and development, create new pathways for defense technology startups, and collaborate on developing advanced dual-use defense capabilities. These capabilities include drones, microchips, directed energy weapons, artificial intelligence, missile technology, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technologies. The overall goal is to harmonize global security posture and create a more robust defense innovation ecosystem between the United States and Taiwan, while also serving as a strategic deterrent to potential adversarial technological developments.
