The center, the highest-level of its kind in Taiwan, will coordinate long-range precision strike planning and intelligence-sharing across Taiwan's military services. This initiative aims to improve integration between US-made weapons systems and locally developed missile technology. Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo Li-hsiung confirmed the ongoing military cooperation with the US, emphasizing its role in strengthening Taiwan's defensive capabilities.
