諾格「鷹爪藍」無人戰機登英航艦 2027試飛不靠彈射器攔阻索

英國第一海務大臣宣布與諾斯洛普·格魯曼簽署合作意向聲明,目標於「威爾斯親王號」展示艦載發射

Quick Look

英國皇家海軍計劃於2027年從「威爾斯親王號」航空母艦測試發射諾斯洛普·格魯曼研發的「鷹爪藍」(YFQ-48A)協同作戰航空器,目標於英國海域展示艦載起降,為伊莉莎白女王級航艦增加無人戰機運用選項。

Why It Matters

英國現役兩艘伊莉莎白女王級航艦採短場起飛/垂直降落(STOVL)設計,沒有彈射器及攔阻索。「征服計畫」旨在讓第2級自主協同平台在不依賴上述設備的情況下完成艦上起飛及回收。英國皇家海軍自2023年起已在該級航艦上測試Mojave、Tekever AR5等螺旋槳無人機。

〔記者吳哲宇/綜合報導〕英國皇家海軍正加速推動艦載無人戰機計畫,預計2027年從「威爾斯親王號」(HMS Prince of Wales)航空母艦,測試發射諾斯洛普.格魯曼(Northrop Grumman)研發的「鷹爪藍」(Talon Blue)協同作戰航空器(CCA)。這款美軍編號YFQ-48A的噴射動力無人戰機,上個月才宣布完成首飛,未來若成功從英國航艦起降,將成為皇家海軍發展新一代艦載無人作戰能力的重要進展。

軍聞網站《The War Zone》報導,英國第一海務大臣詹金斯(Gwyn Jenkins)上將,日前在「威爾斯親王號」上宣布,將與諾格簽署合作意向聲明,在「征服計畫」(Project Vanquish)架構下推動「鷹爪藍」測試,目標2027年於英國海域進行展示,其中包括從航空母艦發射。

值得注意的是,英國現役兩艘伊莉莎白女王級航艦,均採短場起飛/垂直降落(STOVL)設計,沒有彈射器及攔阻索。「征服計畫」的核心目標,就是讓英國所稱的第2級自主協同平台(ACP),能在不依賴上述設備的情況下,完成艦上起飛及回收,為現有航艦增加無人戰機運用選項。

報導指出,「鷹爪藍」是諾格針對低成本自主作戰需求研發的新型無人機,2025年12月首次公開,美軍也已賦予YFQ-48A編號。雖然實際價格尚未公布,但其設計複雜程度與美國空軍目前採購的FQ-42A「復仇者」、FQ-44A「狂怒」無人僚機大致相當,後兩者單價估計落在1000萬美元以上、數千萬美元的較低區間。

英國皇家海軍自2023年起,已陸續在伊莉莎白女王級航艦上測試Mojave、Tekever AR5等螺旋槳無人機,也曾利用拖車式彈射器發射長程單向攻擊無人機。

不過,「鷹爪藍」能否直接適應航艦操作仍有待確認。由於艦上起降涉及甲板空間、飛行性能及回收方式等限制,即使不使用彈射器或攔阻索,未來仍可能需要開發專用艦載衍生型。

對諾格而言,英國航艦測試也具有重要意義。該公司正爭取美國空軍第2階段CCA計畫,並參與美國海軍艦載CCA概念研發。若「鷹爪藍」順利完成2027年展示,將有助於驗證其艦載運用潛力,並拓展未來國際市場。

Lockheed Martin's "Haimas" rocket production reaches nearly 14,000 rockets per year, up 75% in 2 years

Lockheed Martin announced that its plant in Camden, Arkansas, has completed the production of its 100,000th GMLRS precision-guided rocket, reaching its annual production target of nearly 14,000 rockets ahead of schedule. In June, the US military awarded the company a US$3 billion procurement contract for the 2026 fiscal year, covering standard and extended-range GMLRS rockets. About 200 employees are responsible for production at the Camden factory. The factory plans to increase manpower by 50% and expand the supply chain. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems has completed the first test of a new solid-state rocket engine and aims to complete qualification certification in 2027.

Counter China's maritime expansion! The defense ministers of the United States, Japan, Australia and the Philippines have decided to establish a defense coordination center in the Philippines

The United States, Japan, Australia and the Philippines agreed to set up a coordination center in the Philippines to synchronize the actions of all parties and strengthen the country's defense capabilities. This move is aimed at responding to China's military pressure in the Indo-Pacific region and the South China Sea and deepening defense cooperation among the four countries.
