黑鷹再戰半世紀!美商塞考斯基推「2070」升級 台灣58架堅守崗位

Quick Look

賽考斯基正推動UH-60「黑鷹」直升機的「黑鷹2070」現代化計畫,計畫包含換裝GE航太T901新引擎、增加航程與酬載、導入MATRIX自主飛行系統,並開發無人貨運版「U-Hawk」,預計今年首飛。台灣此前採購60架UH-60M,目前尚有58架服役,分屬陸軍、空軍救護隊與內政部空勤總隊。

Why It Matters

UH-60「黑鷹」直升機自1970年代服役至今近50年,是美軍及多國軍隊的主力機型。台灣曾採購60架UH-60M版本,目前仍有58架服役,分屬陸軍、空軍救護隊與內政部空勤總隊使用。

〔記者涂鉅旻/綜合報導〕UH-60「黑鷹」直升機服役近50年,未來還可能一路飛到2070年,外國軍聞網站《戰區》專文指出,製造商塞考斯基正推動「黑鷹2070」現代化計畫,除了換裝新引擎、增加航程與酬載能力,更將導入自主飛行、空射無人機及全無人化「U-Hawk」,讓這款經典直升機在未來戰場持續扮演重要角色。

波音旗下的塞考斯基規劃替黑鷹建立全新「數位骨幹」,透過開放式架構,快速整合感測器、無人機控制等設備,並搭配MATRIX自主飛行系統,可降低飛行員工作負荷,甚至讓黑鷹在特定任務完全無人飛行。目前MATRIX已累積超過1000小時飛行測試,美國陸軍也已接收首架UH-60MX選擇性有人駕駛測試機。

更受矚目的則是「U-Hawk」。塞考斯基以二手UH-60L改裝,直接拆除駕駛艙、改設大型貨艙門,打造無人貨運直升機,預計今年首飛。未來還可大量攜帶「空射效應器」,讓黑鷹化身「無人機母艦」,一次發射並指揮多架偵察、電戰甚至滯空攻擊無人機。

請繼續往下閱讀...

專文陳述,黑鷹直升機在動力方面,也將換裝GE航太T901新引擎,較現有T700提升50%馬力,可增加逾1000磅酬載,搭配擴充油箱後,航程還可增加約100浬。

黑鷹直升機與我國關係密切,我國先前採購60架UH-60M,其中陸軍保留30架,分由航特部601旅、602旅運用;另15架移撥空軍救護隊、15架移撥內政部空勤總隊。因空軍與空勤總隊各有1架失事,公開資料顯示,全台尚有58架服役,包括陸軍30架、空軍救護隊14架及空勤總隊14架。

其中,陸軍黑鷹主要擔負空中突擊、兵力投射及運補任務;空軍機隊肩負戰場與海空搜救,空勤總隊14架則部署全台5處駐地,執行救災、救難、救護、偵巡及運輸。

Ministry of National Defense Spokesperson Chen Xi responded to reporters’ questions on Lai Qingde’s so-called “Double Ten” speech

Chen Xi pointed out that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. Lai Ching-te's "Double Ten" speech hyped up the mainland's military pressure and clamored for defense investment. The essence is to insist on the "Taiwan independence" stance, confuse right and wrong, and incite cross-strait confrontation. The People's Liberation Army's regular drills around Taiwan are to deter "Taiwan independence" rash actions and external interference, safeguard the safety and well-being of the Taiwanese people, and call on Taiwan compatriots to recognize the dangers of "independence" pursued by the Lai Ching-te administration, jointly fight against separatist forces, oppose external interference, and jointly safeguard a peaceful homeland.
