軍援烏克蘭「鳳凰幽靈」(Phoenix Ghost)自殺式無人機、在俄烏戰場創造實戰成績聞名的AEVEX Aerospaces公司,今日來台召開記者會,將積極進入台灣市場,會中除了展示與中光電智能機器人( CiRC)合作開發的VANDAL與Onyx無人機,並表示已與中科院簽署合作備忘錄,將進一步深耕台灣市場。中光電智能機器人董事長吳秀蕙表示,雙方屬於技術轉移的合作夥伴,將共同面向全球市場外銷。

AEVEX指出,本次與中光電合作開發的VANDAL與Onyx無人機,也曾實際投入烏克蘭戰場,兩款產品皆以3D列印層積製造產出,可在短時間內大規模量產,AEVEX認為這兩款無人機的特性最可能獲得國軍採購。

其中VANDAL無人機,根據現場資料,Onyx無人機作戰範圍達270公里,操作時間超過2.8小時,酬載達到13.6公斤,可作為自殺無人機使用;VANDAL無人機定位在ISR監偵,也可作為自殺無人機使用,其作戰範圍達486公里,操作時間超過3.5小時,酬載量為4.5公斤。

吳秀蕙表示,AEVEX令人驚豔的能力不只是其系統性能,還有創新與執行能力,以及3D列印技術等創新設計、製造流程,這也反映在AEVEX短時間內的高速成長上,並成功在今年4月於紐約上市,成為美國無人系統公司的領頭羊。

吳秀蕙接著指出,中光電在短短一年內成功向政府交付3000架無人機,無人機的光學酬載系統由中光電自主研發製造,實際部署於台灣並為國軍行動提供支援。因此雙方合作的意義不只是科技合作,更是台美產業合作的新模式,將美國的創新與台灣的工業製造能力結合,共同開發產品,面向全球市場推廣下一代自主系統。

吳秀蕙補充,中光電不只是成為AEVEX的供應鏈,兩者的關係更像是合作夥伴,雙方的長處都可以互相利用,積極向全球市場銷售,例如AEVEX就是看上中光電的光學系統酬載設計,可以說中光電的酬載設計已達到國際標準,一旦量產就能與AEVEX外銷。和AEVEX的合作,相關技術也都已經通過美國出口管制規定,完成技術轉移。這次中光電會公開說明,也是代表產品已經準備完畢,與AEVEX的合作有明確目標,預計將參與國軍標案及全球客戶。

Taiwan's first batch of F-16 Block70 fighter jets arrive at Taitung Zhihang Base, equipped with beast mode and can carry 10 missiles

Taiwan's first batch of two F-16 Block70 fighter jets successfully landed at Taitung Zhihang Base today. This type of fighter has the so-called "beast mode" and can carry up to 10 anti-aircraft missiles or perform anti-ship, suppressive air defense and air combat missions at the same time. Retired generals pointed out that its design frees up wing mounting space and can exert saturation firepower advantages without relying on stealth, making it suitable for Taiwan Strait defense.
