The T-Dome (Chinese: 臺灣穹頂; pinyin: Táiwān Qióngdǐng; lit. 'Taiwan Dome') is a proposed multi-layered air and missile defense system under development by Taiwan to counter aerial threats, including aircraft, drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, primarily from the People's Republic of China. Announced by President Lai Ching-te in October 2025, the system draws its concept from Israel's Iron Dome.
The T-Dome initiative was publicly unveiled during President Lai Ching-te's National Day address on 10 October 2025 in Taipei. The announcement coincided with pledges to increase defense spending to over 3% of GDP in 2026 and 5% by 2030, with T-Dome funding to be included in a special budget proposal by the end of 2025. Development plans were reportedly in drafting stages prior to the announcement, with initial integration expected to commence shortly thereafter. The planned system is being developed to respond to China's expanding military capabilities, including hypersonic missiles, stealth aircraft, and frequent incursions into Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone.
As of 2025, Taiwan operates a unified air defense command-and-control system that integrates radar data from ground stations with information gathered by the Patriot Missile and Tien Kung III missile batteries stationed nationwide.
Beijing's Taiwan Affairs Office criticized the plan as provocative, warning it would escalate tensions and harm Taiwan's economy.
