NCSIST Chien Hsiang  The NCSIST Chien Hsiang (English "Rising Sword”) is a Taiwanese loitering munition developed by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology. The Chien Hsiang weights six kilograms, is two meters wide, and 1.2 meters long. It will feature an electro-optical/infrared payload as well as a possible anti-radiation payload. While the Chien Hsiang is comparable to the Israeli IAI Harpy NCSIST has said that any resemblance is purely coincidental and that the platform is entirely indigenous. The Chien Hsiang has a reported loiter time of 100 hours and a top speed of 185 km/h. The Chien Hsiang was first exhibited in 2017 at the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition. In 2019 the Taiwan Air Force’s Air Defense and Missile Command announced a five year, NT$80b (US$2.54b) project to build up a full force of anti-radiation UAVs. The Chien Hsiang launcher is a trailer mounting twelve box launchers.
