交付量翻倍!美接收第1000枚「進化型海麻雀」飛彈 強化艦艇防空

RTX雷神公司生產,12國合作研製,日本透過三菱電機授權生產

Quick Look

美國海軍接收第1000枚ESSM Block 2進化型海麻雀防空飛彈,距去年500枚交付里程碑僅一年。該飛彈由RTX雷神公司生產,由美國、澳洲、加拿大、德國等12國共同合作研製,日本透過三菱電機授權生產,射程約50公里、速度超過4馬赫,可裝填於Mk 41垂直發射系統單一發射單元內4枚。

Why It Matters

美國海軍因應反艦飛彈、無人機等空中威脅,持續擴充艦載防空飛彈庫存。ESSM Block 2自2020年起部署,主要用於反制軍機、反艦巡弋飛彈及無人機等威脅。

〔記者涂鉅旻/綜合報導〕因應反艦飛彈、無人機等空中威脅,美國海軍持續擴充艦載防空飛彈庫存。美國海軍近日宣布,其已接收第1000枚「進化型海麻雀」Block 2(ESSM Block 2)飛彈,距離去年達成500枚交付里程碑僅1年。這款可終端自行追蹤目標的先進防空飛彈,已經是美國及北約盟國共同採購的重要武器。

外國軍聞網站《Defense Blog》報導,根據美國海軍北約海麻雀計畫辦公室(PMX-312)資訊,ESSM Block 2自2020年起部署,主要用於反制軍機、反艦巡弋飛彈及無人機等威脅。相較於舊型飛彈,ESSM Block 2新增主動雷達尋標器,可在飛行末段自行鎖定目標,不必持續依賴艦艇雷達照射,提高同時接戰多個目標的能力。

ESSM Block 2由RTX集團旗下雷神公司生產,美國海軍今年4月再授予價值8.33億美元(約新台幣266億元)的增購合約,預定2030年9月完成。在此之前,雷神已於2024年取得5.25億美元量產合約,若相關選擇權全數執行,總金額可達22億美元。

公開資訊顯示,ESSM Block 2射程約50公里、最高速度超過4馬赫,並可採取「一坑四彈」方式,在Mk 41垂直發射系統單一發射單元內裝填4枚,增加軍艦防空彈藥攜行量,與射程更遠的標準系列飛彈構成多層次防禦。

值得注意的是,「進化型海麻雀」由美國、澳洲、加拿大、德國等12國共同合作研製、生產及維護,日本雖非合作組織成員,也透過三菱電機授權生產。美國海軍今年8月更徵詢下一代改良型設計,要求維持10英吋彈體直徑,顯示在持續擴大量產之際,正著手規劃後續升級。

GPS on NATO's eastern flank was almost severely interfered with, suspected Russian electronic warfare became the focus

Large-scale satellite navigation interference has recently occurred on NATO's eastern flank, covering the southern Baltic Sea, Lithuania, eastern Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and the western Black Sea. Data from Italy's ItaMilRadar and AirNav Radar show that the interference zone highly overlaps with areas where Russian attack drones cross the border. However, no country has confirmed the source of the interference. Some of the anomalies may come from NATO's anti-drone interference system.

New F-16V relay returns to Taiwan! The United States signs a NT$490 million contract to support training centers in three locations in Taiwan

The U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center signed a $14.8 million contract with Texas defense contractor CAE USA to provide long-term logistics maintenance and spare parts support for Taiwan's F-16V mission training center. It covers three bases in Chiayi, Hualien, Taitung, and Tucson, Arizona, USA. The contract period is until January 30, 2032, and supports both F-16 Block 20V and Block 70 two-generation aircraft.

Zhang Junjie smuggled out of the country Su Ziyun lamented that the maritime patrol budget only accounts for 0.07% of GDP: National security is most important to rely on oneself

Zhang Junjie, the former director of the office of non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei, was involved in a communist espionage case and smuggled out of the country. Su Ziyun, a researcher at the National Defense Academy, used this as an example to call on Taiwan to increase its maritime patrol budget and independent defense capabilities, and not to rely too much on U.S. support.

The second batch of F-16V BLK70 is coming soon. Pictures of 3 new aircraft arriving in Hawaii are revealed. The national emblem is painted with eye-catching colors.

Among the 66 F-16V BLK70 fighter jets purchased by my country, the second batch of three (aircraft numbers 6729, 6731, and 6732) has arrived in Hawaii and is expected to return to Taiwan for handover after the next stop in Guam. Legislator Wang Dingyu posted a video on Facebook, two of which were printed with the national emblem of the Republic of China and one with the national emblem of the United States.

Only two mysterious US military reconnaissance aircraft in the world are heading to Europe. Foreign media revealed that they may be preparing to use force against Iraq.

The U.S. Air Force's RC-135U "Combat Sentinel" electronic reconnaissance aircraft, which has only two in the world, took off from Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, the United States, and landed at Royal Air Force Base in Maddenhow, England on the 4th after transiting in New Hampshire. The aircraft specializes in accurately mapping enemy air defense radar systems. It is widely interpreted by the outside world as an intelligence preparation step for the US military to possibly expand military operations against Iran amid tensions between the United States and Iran. Military experts point out that the data collected can be used to develop anti-radiation missiles and electronic warfare sequences, but open source intelligence analysis believes that this may just be a routine annual baseline sampling mission, and there is no guarantee that it will be transferred to the Middle East in the future.

The bidding for "new heavy-duty trucks" is expected to be opened in December. The national army has been fighting for a long time and prefers the import of complete new vehicles.

The Ministry of National Defense will promote the replacement of old vehicles with new ones starting next year, with a budget of nearly 200 billion. Among them, the bidding for "new heavy-duty trucks" will be opened next month. Zhimao Automobile announced the introduction of Germany's Rheinmetall Mann Military Vehicles (RMMV) TGM-MIL 4x4 military truck to participate in the bidding, becoming the first manufacturer willing to provide a solution. The entire vehicle is imported. Only the modular body is supplied by the Spanish company ELS and assembled in Taiwan. It is interoperable with logistics parts of the US military's general tactical truck. Rheinmetall has no investment in China, which complies with the policy of removing red goods from the supply chain.
