The partnership marks a concrete step in expanding AI-enabled autonomous capabilities within Taiwan&rsquo;s defense industrial base, with unmanned surface vessels (USVs) as the initial platform of focus.</p> <p>The first milestone is a live demonstration planned for this summer, in which Hivemind will serve as the AI pilot aboard a Thunder Tiger USV. The demonstration is intended to validate autonomous maritime navigation, real-time mission response, and operational performance at sea under conditions that approximate contested environments.</p>
