美國卡納維爾角太空軍基地將部署定向能量反無人機雷射系統,以保護國家安全發射任務免受低空無人機威脅。基地支援大量商業及軍事太空發射,鄰近地區曾發生多起未經許可的無人機飛行事件。雷射系統被視為較無線電干擾更安全的選項,但受供電、散熱、射程及天候限制,可能需多套系統才能全面防禦。

卡納維爾角太空軍基地是美國重要的太空發射設施,支援SpaceX、聯合發射聯盟及藍色起源等商業和國家安全任務。基地鄰近大西洋,地形開闊,增加無人機未經許可進入的風險。近年來,無人機在敏感設施周圍的非法飛行事件頻繁發生,促使軍方探索新興反制技術。

〔記者涂鉅旻/綜合報導〕美軍持續擴大雷射武器反制無人機,如今連重要太空發射基地也將納入部署。外國軍聞網站《戰區》(The War Zone)報導,美國卡納維爾角太空軍基地(Cape Canaveral Space Force Station)將部署定向能量反無人機系統,透過雷射擊落闖入限制空域的無人機,保護人員、發射設施及國家安全酬載。
美國太空軍第45太空發射聯隊表示,卡納維爾角持續支援大量國家安全及商業太空任務,隨著發射頻率增加,防範低空無人機威脅已成重要課題。基地目前正推動安全防護現代化,整合偵測、追蹤及防禦能力,其中也納入定向能系統,但軍方尚未公布具體型號及正式部署時間。
卡納維爾角是美國重要太空發射重鎮,包括SpaceX、聯合發射聯盟(ULA)、藍色起源等業者皆在此執行發射任務。基地占地約65平方公里,鄰近大西洋,開闊地形也增加無人機從不同方向闖入的可能性。鄰近的卡納維爾港2025年就記錄到500起未經許可的無人機飛行事件。

此外,有中國籍遊客今年7月操控無人機闖入甘迺迪太空中心限制空域,並一度飛至距離39B發射台約2.5公里處。報導指出,基地內部分火箭及太空系統造價高昂,且火箭裝載大量具爆炸性的物質,一旦遭到攻擊,可能造成嚴重損害;即使只是成功干擾發射,也可能帶來重大國家安全影響。
值得注意的是,太空港採用雷射反制無人機,也與任務環境有關。第45太空發射聯隊指揮官查特曼(Brian Chatman)上校表示,若大量使用無線電頻率干擾無人機,可能對太空載具造成潛在影響,因此並非理想選項;相較之下,經美國空軍研究實驗室測試的雷射系統,已證明可安全擊落無人機。
不過,報導指出,雷射武器仍受供電、散熱、射程及天候等因素限制,且屬於點防禦武器,以卡納維爾角如此廣大的基地而言,未來可能需要部署不只一套系統,才能提供較完整的無人機防禦能力。

The National Army's Han Kuang 42 real-force exercise has added new courses on war disasters, military-civilian cooperation, and whole-society defense resilience. The Ministry of National Defense has budgeted for next year's budget to go to the United States and Europe to participate in the National Resilience Mobilization Seminar, the Whole-of-Society Resilience Affairs Seminar, and the Taiwan-US Inter-departmental Resilience Dialogue. Three overseas plans, with a total funding of 7.339 million yuan, are aimed at learning experience in military-civilian integration and hybrid threat response.

China and the United States have agreed to pursue a new military crisis-communication pact following the summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, according to Beijing, potentially giving commanders another mechanism for managing dangerous encounters across the Indo-Pacific.

Japan will deploy long-range "Type 25 land-based anti-ship missiles" for the first time in the "Sharp Sword" exercise with the United States in October, cooperating with the US military to share target information and confirm launch procedures, but will not conduct live ammunition firing. The move is aimed at strengthening Japan-US cooperation and responding to China's arms expansion.

Japan will hold a "Sharp Sword" exercise with the United States in October. It will deploy the domestically produced "Type 25 land-based anti-ship missile" with counterattack capabilities for the first time. Operation troops and launch vehicles will be deployed at the Oyanobara exercise ground in Kumamoto Prefecture, but live ammunition will not be launched. This move is intended to strengthen Japan-U.S. cooperation and target China.

Recent Houthi attacks on Saudi energy and military sites are testing the newly signed Mecca Joint Defence Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey.

The latest test flight video of China's new generation of tailless heavy-duty stealth fighter "J-36" has been exposed, revealing that it uses a two-dimensional thrust vector nozzle similar to the US F-22, a three-engine configuration and a light-colored radome, indicating that the aircraft is still in the continuous modification stage.
