打破傳統建案模式,海軍首度以「買現貨、部隊直接測評」方式引進水下滑翔機,補足聲紋蒐集盲區,貫徹不對稱作戰。
台灣海軍首度編列1,200萬元預算,直接採購水下滑翔機自主巡航暨聲學追蹤系統並進行實戰化測評。此舉旨在捨棄傳統繁瑣建案模式,引進低成本、長時間潛伏的無聲裝備,補足水下聲紋蒐集盲區並強化不對稱作戰能力。

〔記者羅添斌/台北報導〕海軍建軍備戰計畫出現重大創新嘗試!海軍今年首度規劃 1,200 萬元預算,打破過去由中科院丶軍備局研發或長達數年繁瑣評估的傳統建案模式,決定以直接購入裝備的方式,獨立進行「水下滑翔機自主巡航暨聲學追蹤系統」的採購與效能測試。這種「花小錢、買現貨、部隊直接測評」的靈活作法,不僅能讓一線官兵在最短時間內拿到科技實體、投入實戰化驗證,更是國軍貫徹不對稱作戰、嘗試「國防創新少量採購」的指標性制度突破。
軍事圈內關切這款裝備與美軍近年積極採購的 REMUS 300「獅子魚」小型無人水下載具(SUUV)是否屬於同性質武器?答案是「完全不同」。
美軍的「獅子魚」採用傳統的馬達與螺旋槳推進,航速快且具備高模組化彈性,主要負責 30 小時內、短時間且高危險性的水雷反制與主動偵查;而我國海軍採購的「水下滑翔機」則是利用改變自身浮力和重心配合側翼,在水中進行無聲的鋸齒狀滑翔。它不需要螺旋槳,耗能極低,一入水就能潛伏 1 到數個月,兩者在動力原理、續航力及戰術任務上都有根本的差異。
「水下滑翔機」具備長時間作業、大範圍蒐集、高隱匿、低成本維運、快速機動及多元的水下偵蒐等特性,可為海軍蒐集水文資訊情報,影響聲納模式選用及戰術的運用。(軍聞社提供)
軍方人士今天指出,海軍此次直接採購「水下滑翔機自主巡航暨聲學追蹤系統」,將直接對接海軍大氣海洋局,用來補足現行聲紋蒐集模式的「盲區」。過去大海局的聲紋蒐集主要依賴兩種傳統方式:第一種是配合任務操演,由 P-3C 反潛機投放一次性聲標,或由在航艦艇施放拖曳式聲納,但這種方式每次出勤的油資與耗材成本極高,且軍艦目標明顯,無法長時間停留;第二種則是與國內學術機構合作,在特定海域設置固定的浮標與潛標,雖然能長期定點監測,但空間受限,容易被敵方潛艦掌握位置並刻意繞開。
他表示,引進「水下滑翔機」之後,大氣海洋局的聲紋蒐集將從傳統的「死板固定點」全面升級為「動態立體巡邏面」。這款滑翔機具備自主巡航能力,平時能像一具無聲的「水下聽音哨」,在巴士海峽或台灣東部海域等戰略通道來回巡弋,敵艦完全無法預判其位置。同時,它還能一邊滑行一邊默默蒐集不同深度的水溫、鹽度等水文數據,協助海軍精準繪製出台海周邊的「水下聲音指紋庫」,這對於我國海龍、海鯤級潛艦以及反潛兵力在戰術上的聲納判讀,具有決定性的助益。
海軍這次大膽嘗試 1,200 萬元的「百萬級」低成本裝備購入,實質上體現了不對稱作戰中「可耗損」的戰略韌性。一旦這款商規或國產技術延伸的水下滑翔機通過海軍一線單位的獨立測評,未來軍方就能以極低成本在台海周邊進行成群結隊的分散式部署。即使在衝突中損失,也不會對國防財政造成負擔,卻能為台灣換取源源不絕、戰略價值極高的高空或水下即時情報,成功翻轉台海反潛防禦的新局。

Pakistani troops are expected to take over defensive functions for Saudi Arabia, freeing up Saudi forces to fight an all-out war against Yemen's Houthi rebels without directly participating in ground offensives.

The first batch of my country's newly purchased F-16 fighter jets arrived in Taiwan, and it was reported that the electronic warfare system has not yet been installed, causing concern. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan expressed support for rational military procurement and believed that the Ministry of National Defense should seriously face delivery difficulties.

South Korea has rarely released footage of the Hyunmoo-5 ballistic missile test, showing the cold launch and main engine ignition process. The missile can carry about 8 metric tons of super-heavy conventional warheads and is specifically designed to penetrate and destroy North Korea's command centers, missile bases and fortified facilities buried deep underground. The missile adopts a two-section solid fuel design with a launch weight of about 36 tons and a length of 15 to 20 meters. Xuanwu-5 emphasizes high weight, high precision and terminal high-speed kinetic energy, using high-density materials to concentrate energy to penetrate rock formations and detonate internal explosives. The development of this weapon can be traced back to the early 2010s. It will enter mass production preparations at the end of 2023 and begin operational deployment at the end of 2025. It has been included in South Korea's large-scale punitive retaliation (KMPR) in the three-axis system.

The Taiwanese government donated the decommissioned 500-ton patrol ship Kinmen to the Philippines. After signing with the WPS Foundation and the Philippine Coast Guard, it was renamed BRP Sarangani (Sarangani) and put into service. The hull number is 6177. It will be stationed in the Mindanao waters to perform patrols, search and rescue, disaster response and other tasks to improve maritime security and avoid public doubts within Taiwan.

At the 2026 Taichung AI Application and Smart Manufacturing Exhibition, the Armament Administration unveiled three types of sights: a close-combat scope, a reflective scope, and a laser illuminator for the T112 rifle. Each type has an annual production capacity of approximately 12,000 units. The melee scope has 4x magnification and an observation distance of 1 km. The reflective scope is suitable for close range shooting. The Ministry of National Defense expects to purchase nearly 200,000 internal red dot and optical sights over three years starting next year, surpassing the number of T112 rifles manufactured.

The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force opened the public to the Kenjun Base in Higashi District, Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture to visit the Type 25 land-based anti-ship missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers. The missile has a range covering some coastal areas of China and will be deployed for the first time at the Onohara exercise range in Nagasaki and Saga Prefectures during the U.S.-Japan joint military exercise "Sharp Sword" this month.
