涵蓋1噸以下、1至2噸及5至10噸三個重量級別,顯示日本轉向自主研發專用軍用無人載具
日本防衛裝備廳展示三款軍用無人地面載具研發成果,重量分別為1噸以下、1至2噸及5至10噸,最大型採低矮履帶式車體,未來可能搭載重型感測器、補給物資甚至武器,顯示日本正從依賴外國系統轉向自主研發專用軍用無人載具。

日本過去長期研究無人地面載具,但多半仰賴採購外國系統,或將民用車輛改裝使用。陸上自衛隊也曾在演習中使用機器人系統,甚至將四足機器狗投入空降突擊演練。
日本正加速發展軍用無人地面載具(UGV),防衛裝備廳(ATLA)近日在技術研討會中,展示3種不同重量級別的無人載具研發成果,涵蓋1噸以下、1至2噸,以及5至10噸級平台。其中最大型採用低矮履帶式車體,重量已接近輕型裝甲車等級,未來可能用於搭載重型感測器、補給物資甚至武器,顯示日本正朝向自主研發多用途軍用無人載具邁進。
軍聞網站「Defence Blog」報導,陸自退役隊員、軍事評論人士陸野雄野在X曝光相關資料,展示來自防衛裝備廳陸上裝備研究所,該單位正依照不同任務及越野機動需求,研究多種驅動構型的無人地面載具,部分原型車目前仍在製造階段。
其中最小型的1噸以下載具採用4組獨立履帶設計,車體上方設有開放式載貨框架;1至2噸級平台則採輪型構型,配備平坦貨台、防滾架及車身感測器,外觀類似多用途運輸車輛。
最受關注的5至10噸級平台則採用低矮履帶式底盤,上方配置大型平坦承載平台,以及疑似感測器砲塔的裝置。相較於一般用於補給運輸或排雷的小型機器人,這款重型載具有更大的酬載潛力,可能進一步發展為支援作戰任務的無人平台,但日本尚未公布實際武器配置及各型載具的具體用途。
除了車輛本身,展示資料也揭露日本正在研究自主定位、有人與無人車輛協同運作,以及民用技術轉用軍事領域等項目,顯示研發重點不僅是載具機動能力,也包括未來無人化部隊所需的協同技術。
陸野雄野指出,日本過去雖長期研究無人地面載具,但多半仰賴採購外國系統,或將民用車輛改裝使用。此次公開的研究成果,可能代表日本開始依照自身軍事需求,研製專用無人地面載具原型車。
事實上,日本先前曾在富士山附近出現疑似測試中的神祕三菱無人車,陸上自衛隊也曾在演習中使用機器人系統,甚至將四足機器狗投入空降突擊演練。隨著3種重量級別載具逐步推進,日本未來可能建立涵蓋輕型運輸至重型任務支援的無人地面裝備體系。

Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has launched a new type of "Super Ice" long-range cruise missile, equipped with a 454-kilogram warhead, equipped with artificial intelligence, anti-jamming and low-altitude precision guidance capabilities, and can be launched from air, land and sea platforms.

On the 10th, a Brave Eagle advanced trainer aircraft from the Air Force Flight Training Department overshot the runway due to abnormal braking and a tire puncture. Fortunately, the crew was safe. Air Force Chief of Staff Li Qingran said today that there have been nine braking-related incidents of this type of aircraft in the past three years, and this is the most serious mechanical failure accident. The entire fleet has been grounded for inspection.

India's navy has participated in joint exercises across the globe over a two-month span, signaling expanded maritime ambitions while raising questions about domestic submarine shortages and home waters defense.

General Atomics of the United States proposed to transform the AIM-174B "Marksman" missile into a cluster munition. A single missile can carry 7 Vektrex glide-guided munitions to expand long-distance precision strike capabilities. The idea is still in the company's internal concept development stage and there is no formal customer support yet.

The U.S. Department of the Air Force issued a request for information to evaluate the deployment of up to five military space vehicles in the cislunar space to support military mission requirements by the end of 2029. This move marks the extension of the U.S. military's space defense layout from the earth's orbit to the periphery of the moon, and is related to the background of the U.S.-China moon landing race.

The U.S. Army is accelerating the development of the "Mobile Short-Range Air Defense System Phase 4" (M-SHORAD Increment 4), which adopts a modular modular design that can be installed on light tactical vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles or deployed independently. It integrates radar, missiles and cannons to deal with threats from drone swarms and low-cost attack drones. It aims to complete the first batch of battalion-level unit equipment before the end of 2029.
