Japan looks to cut Chinese drone reliance, aims for 80,000 a year by 2030

Japan is stepping up efforts to build a domestic drone production system to reduce reliance on a China-centred supply chain. The strategy includes shifting private drone firms toward defence work and expanding government budgets to strengthen unmanned systems competitiveness. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party has approved a plan to build capacity to produce about 80,000 drones a year by 2030, though funding details remain unclear. Companies such as Eams Robotics and Terra Drone are highlighted as defence-focused examples.
