       Benefiting from the evolutions on electronics and communication technologies, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has become a mature technology in global different applications. In transportation domains, UAVs have their natures of high mobility and broad deployment to effectively improve system implementation with feasibility, availability and safety. Due to breakthrough accomplishment in skill and performance, UAV developments are no longer in 3C or recreation scale. UAVs will become most commonly and frequently used in low altitude operations. The Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MOTC) tries to introduce UAVs into transportation domain of applications and elevate relative industries into wider implementations. The “UAV Technology and Industry Special Task Force” is organized to draw a national picture to promote UAV developing strategy. UAVs in transportation domain operations can be focused on Disaster Prevention and Rescue, Intelligent Transportation, Logistic Delivery, through government demands to drive industrial cooperation into future perspectives. This study tries to overview UAV national policy and government strategy to establish UAV industrial infreastucture from the Integrated Pilot Program (IPP) and UAS Traffic Management (UTM). The UAV industry developments in short, medium and long terms can be expected to construct an industrial assemblies to foothold Taiwanese technique capability and stretch into International competition
