Under the wave of rapid evolution of global drones and aerospace defense technologies, AWAN shines at the 2025 National Defense and Aerospace Exhibition as the first manufacturer in Taiwan to independently develop and design high-precision IMU/AHRS modules.
A number of key technologies were showcased, including high-frequency stability, anti-interference modules, low-orbit satellite communication applications, and high-performance inertial sensing modules under the AWAN SENSING brand, which became the focus of attention at the exhibition.
Wang Ziyi, manager of AWAN, said that the company has long focused on the field of inertial navigation sensing modules, and knows that the core of stable flight and accurate positioning of drones lies in inertial attitude (AHRS) and inertial navigation system (INS) technology. The company independently developed core algorithms and successfully integrated IMU chips to create high-precision, lightweight, and low-power modules, breaking through the limitations of relying on foreign imports in the past.
Now, through AWAN's independent research and development, it not only bridges the supply chain gap but also provides Taiwan with a safe and stable domestic alternative in the context of Sino-US trade tensions. These high-precision modules can autonomously calculate flight trajectories when GPS signals are interfered with or even disappear, ensuring that drones can maintain stable flight in tunnels, bridges, or battlefield environments.
In addition, after integrating low-orbit satellite positioning technology, fast and accurate tracking and communication can be achieved, greatly expanding the application scenarios of military and civilian use. Further combine multiple sensing, such as vision, LiDAR, UWB and radar positioning,
AWAN is continuously advancing the accuracy and practical capabilities of unmanned vehicles, becoming a key supplier for Taiwan's entry into high-end drone applications.
In addition to technological breakthroughs, AWAN also attaches great importance to industrial sustainability and talent cultivation. The company actively responds to the "Space Industry Supply Chain and Networking Industry Rising Star Project" promoted by the Industrial Development Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and implemented by the Taipei Computer Business Association, providing young students with the opportunity to participate in experiments, simulations, and special research in enterprises through R&D practice, and further understand core technologies such as space sensing.
The company has also set up a complete internship system, with senior engineers serving as industry mentors to impart professional skills, and provide scholarships and bursaries to encourage students to participate in space exploration and autonomous flight vehicle-related competitions, cultivating innovative thinking and cross-disciplinary integration capabilities.
Wang Ziyi, manager of AWAN, said that talent is the most critical cornerstone of an enterprise, and only by continuing to take root in education and industry-academia cooperation can we maintain competitiveness in the rapidly changing defense and aerospace industries. In the future, the company will continue to deepen the integration of AI algorithms and sensing technology, promote the commercialization of high-precision, low-drift, and low-energy navigation modules, and leverage its independent supply chain advantages to establish a key position for Taiwan in the era of asymmetric warfare and drones.
