美軍擬砸500億美元擴軍!無人機、地面機器人產量上看數百萬套 打造自主武器量產戰力

美國戰爭部長赫格塞斯提500億美元投資構想,計畫將美軍自主武器規模從數千套提升至數百萬套,強化高強度衝突作戰能力。

〔記者吳哲宇/綜合報導〕美國戰爭部長赫格塞斯近日在美國陸軍協會(AUSA)年度會議上提出500億美元(約新台幣1.62兆元)的投資構想,計畫將美軍自主武器規模從數千套提升至可能達到數百萬套,涵蓋單程攻擊無人機、機器人地面載具及海上無人系統,藉由工業化大量生產,提升美軍在高強度衝突中的持續作戰能力。

軍聞網站「Army Recognition」報導,赫格塞斯在華府舉行的2026年AUSA年度會議中,說明五角大廈擴大自主武器生產的規劃。根據規劃,美軍希望改變過去主要採購少量高價軍事裝備的模式,轉向大量生產價格可負擔、能夠快速補充的無人武器,讓部隊即使在長期消耗戰中,也能持續執行偵察、精準打擊及戰場支援任務。

其中,自殺攻擊無人機將是重要發展項目,可用於打擊敵方裝甲車輛、火砲陣地及後勤運輸目標,並降低飛行員及地面部隊直接暴露於交戰區域的風險。透過大量部署消耗性無人機,美軍也能將價格昂貴的精準飛彈及有人戰機,保留給需要更遠射程、更大酬載或更高生存能力的任務。

除了空中無人機,五角大廈也計畫擴大自主地面車輛及海上無人系統運用。地面機器人可執行戰場偵察、彈藥運輸、傷患後送及部分作戰任務;無人水面與水下載具則能支援海上監視、反水雷作戰及其他高風險任務。

值得注意的是,這項資金提案也將支援五角大廈「阿金庫爾計畫」(Project Agincourt),這項計畫將加速自主武器研發、量產及部隊整合,並成立「自主作戰司令部」(Autonomous Warfare Command),協調各軍種需求、減少重複採購,提升不同無人系統的互通性。

此外,美國國防部2027會計年度預算需求中,也列出約536億美元的「無人機優勢」(Drone Dominance)相關能力經費,涵蓋無人裝備、反無人機防禦、高威脅環境後勤及協同自主技術等領域。不過,目前尚無法確認這筆預算與赫格塞斯提出的500億美元是否存在重疊,因此不能直接相加計算。

不過,要達成數百萬套自主武器的規模,美國國防工業仍須擴建生產線,確保馬達、電池、感測器及電子零組件供應穩定,同時降低成本。美軍也必須同步強化操作員訓練、電子戰防護、指揮管制及後勤維修能力,才能真正將大量生產的無人武器轉化為持續作戰戰力。

North Korea claims to have successfully tested new AI-assisted torpedo

North Korea officially announced on Saturday that it successfully conducted an underwater test launch on Thursday of a "Zam-2.0" ultra-high-speed precision-guided torpedo system that uses artificial intelligence technology. The move comes as the arms race between North and South Korea heats up and speculation continues about a meeting between leaders of the United States and North Korea.

Nearly 200 BYD vehicles can enter and exit South Korean military bases! Lawmakers worry about filming secrets being sent back to China

Jiang Daezhi, a member of South Korea's National Power, revealed that there are at least 190 Chinese BYD connected electric vehicles freely entering and exiting major military bases in the country. Because the vehicles are equipped with equipment such as camera lenses and GPS, there are concerns about the leakage of military secrets to China.

Three U.S. drone manufacturers received orders for 27,000 drones in the second phase of the "Challenge", including 6,000 indoor attack aircraft

The results of the second phase of the U.S. Department of Defense’s “UAV Advantage Program” challenge were announced. Three manufacturers, Neros Technologies, Orqa US, and XTEND AI Robotics, received a total of 27,000 UAV orders with a total price of US$178.5 million. Among them, XTEND was purchased by the U.S. Department of War for 6,000 "Striker" indoor suicide drones, which are suitable for attack missions inside buildings and urban street combat in environments where GNSS signals are blocked. The purchase is part of a $1.1 billion Pentagon plan to acquire more than 200,000 small, lethal drones by 2027 and reduce the average acquisition cost from $5,000 to $3,000. U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth also proposed an additional appropriation of US$50 billion and a budget requirement of US$53.6 billion for fiscal year 2027, covering areas such as unmanned systems, counter-drone and collaborative autonomous technology. The report also mentioned that Ukraine estimates that it can produce 6 million to 7 million FPV attack drones in 2026. The US military’s purchase target of 200,000 drones is only equivalent to Ukraine’s production of about 10 to 12 days. The Pentagon has adjusted procurement specifications to exclude Chinese-made motors and batteries, and plans to limit the source of GPS modules to establish a domestic supply chain.
