With a focus on composite material production, Carbon-Based Technology is a promising newcomer to the drone industry that recently made its official stock market debut. With a long-term goal of becoming a top supplier of unmanned vehicles as subcontractors, the company emphasizes the potential of the drone market on a global scale.
Carbon-Based Technology is actively involved in the production and assembly of military UAV bodies, with a primary focus on the research and use of aerospace carbon fiber composite materials. Contributing to the development of multiple military-grade UAV models, the Taiwan-based company has been a supplier to the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) since 2011.
The primary advantage of Carbon-Based Technology is its proficiency in producing composite material components. Not only does the company’s production of battery boxes for electric buses meet the lightweight requirements for UAV bodies, but it also produces battery boxes that are an astounding 60% lighter than traditional metal materials.
The drone industry is gaining global attention as unmanned vehicles are transforming contemporary warfare tactics. While Taiwan’s drone market currently serves mostly commercial-grade military applications, Carbon-Based Technology’s decision to go public was largely driven by its vision for the use of drones in the global economy.
States all over the world are heavily in the acquisition, use, and development of military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to the growing interest in the military uses of drones. The global military drone market is expected to grow at a strong compound annual growth rate of 27.6% between 2022 and 2025.
In the next five years, the government intends to purchase 3,000 drones, according to insiders in the drone business. That being said, this quantity is deemed insufficient because, in a combat situation, drones are consumable and could run out in roughly an hour. Supply chains everywhere are preparing for the expected spike in demand for drones due to a significant increase in demand globally.
Drone supply chains are naturally evolving to incorporate international expansion in addition to reducing reliance on a single home market. Thunder Tiger and Geosat Aerospace & Technology have previously worked together on international drone projects. Carbon-Based Technology reaffirms its commitment to concentrating on commercial UAV subcontract manufacturing, domestic and international drone sales, and mass-producing and maintaining military drones. The company is also going into the avionics systems information integration market.
With an eye toward the future, Carbon-Based Technology’s bold objective is to advance electromagnetic pulse vehicle technology and become the world’s preeminent unmanned vehicle subcontractor. This is a calculated strategic growth that spans several domains, such as low-Earth orbit satellites, composite materials for electric bus components, and simultaneous forays into the space and aerospace sectors.
Presently, carbon-based technology is used in several important industries, including the production of carbon fiber materials, medium-to large-sized military-grade UAVs, and the assembly and maintenance of drones.
