There are various views on the recognition of military critical technology. Therefore, there are several types of critical and emerging technologies that can be observed with reference to the assessment of official agencies. In addition to tangible equipment such as unmanned vehicles, precision ammunition, missiles, warplanes, ships, and phase radar, which are representative of the capabilities of various weapons on the battlefield, it is more important that if these weapons are disassembled, the technological applications of their embedded systems are the real key. Further, the integration of various "sub-systems" in the weapon's internal system, including sensors, control systems, data transmission, and other cross-domain technologies, and the technological content and manufacturing processes (processes, materials, etc.) of the "components” contained in each sub-system, and even software programs, target characteristics database, etc. are the real core of key technologies and techniques. The core of key technology and technology is the "component" (process, material, etc.), software programs, and target characteristics database. As the U.S. Department of Defense stated in the Summary of 2018 National Defense Strategy of The United States of America, "new commercial technologies will change society and the character of warfare.” This also illustrates that modern advances in advanced commercial technology have high military potential and can be converted to military use at lower cost with only partial modifications and enhancements.

Taiwan also has a certain foundation in the development of precision munitions, including various types of anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, and air-to-air missiles, while drones include the small Cardinal, medium-sized Albatross, and large Ten-yun drones. In addition, there are the anti-radiation Jianxiang drones with "loitering munition" characteristics, which can be set to patrol the air in a certain area, even if the enemy radar is turned off, they can fly back and forth to look for targets, and launch attacks once the enemy is switched on and they receive electromagnetic signals, creating strategic flexibility through tactical means.
