美軍成功空中發射Anduril無人機 台灣擬效仿升級黑鷹直升機

Quick Look

美軍近期成功由UH-60M黑鷹直升機空中發射Anduril公司Altius-700系列無人機並精準命中目標。台灣擁有相同直升機機隊並已採購1,554架Altius-700M無人機,政府資深人士建議透過技術授權與改裝現有黑鷹,實現空中發射能力以降低成本並提升作戰彈性,同時視為對抗大陸制裁的戰略機會。

Why It Matters

美國國防新創公司Anduril由帕爾默·拉奇於2017年創立,近年憑藉AI與自主作戰系統快速崛起。台灣近期簽署發價書採購1,554架Altius-700M反裝甲攻擊無人機,並擁有UH-60M黑鷹直升機機隊。

〔記者羅添斌/台北報導〕美國國防新創巨頭安杜里爾(Anduril Industries)創辦人帕爾默·拉奇(Palmer Luckey)日前在 X 社群平台高調點名台灣,詢問台灣的黑鷹直升機要不要來試試發射 Altius-700 無人機?美軍近期才剛成功演練由 UH-60M 黑鷹直升機空中發射該型無人機的全新戰術,而台灣剛好同時擁有這款直升機機隊,且已正式簽署發價書採購 1,554 架 Altius-700M 反裝甲攻擊無人機。這記來自矽谷的「軍工直球」,隨即引發國內外國防圈的熱烈討論。

政府資深人士今天指出,面對這波公開點名,台灣最聰明的接招方式就是「順水推舟」,技術上直接向 Anduril 公司及美軍爭取 ESSS 外部武器掛架與操作軟體的授權。雖然國軍現有的通用型黑鷹直升機缺乏氣動發射管,但若能藉由原廠技術評估,將部分陸航或空軍的黑鷹進行軟硬體改裝,不僅能打破繁複的風洞測試限制,更能引進 Anduril 最核心的 Lattice AI 任務電腦系統。這讓台灣不需要耗費巨資新購武裝直升機,就能用現有資產完成跨世代的航電升級。

在戰術層面上,資深人士認為,這更是一次打破傳統建軍思維的絕佳契機。目前國軍對這批即將獲裝的 Altius-700M,初期規劃仍是配發給陸軍進行地面或車載發射;但如果能演練「空中放飛」,黑鷹直升機就能搖身一變成為「空中無人機航母」。戰時黑鷹能躲在台灣中央山脈或地形掩蔽後方,避開解放軍的防空火網,直接放飛無人機跨海搜索並精準打擊敵方登陸艦艇。這種在安全防區外實施不對稱作戰的配置,能把資產的投資報酬率發揮到極致。

不過,這項「魔改」計畫在技術與成本上仍有實質挑戰。Altius-700M 單架總重達 30 公斤,要確保在直升機高速飛行、氣流混亂的狀態下彈射不碰撞機身,需要極度嚴格的安全認證。此外,機艙內必須加裝蜂群控制台,並升級高頻寬、抗干擾的加密數據鏈天線。即便如此,改裝成本依舊非常划算。相較於向美方採購全新、單架動輒上億美元的攻擊直升機,黑鷹改裝每架硬體與軟體整合預算估計僅約 200 萬至 500 萬美元,可謂極具性價比。

資深人士表示,這記直球不僅是技術交流,更是戰略宣傳的借力使力。台灣日前實彈試射 Anduril 的前代產品達成了海上目標 100% 命中的驚人表現,拉奇本人甚至公開開酸「這就是中國制裁我的原因」。台灣官方此時若能以非正式管道、技術探討的姿態大方接招,透過矽谷式的社群互動向國際展現台灣迅速吸收新創國防科技的能力,將能把對岸的制裁轉化為台灣武器的「五星好評」,對北京形成實質且強大的心理嚇阻效應。

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

US military F-35A conducts agile combat deployment training in Alaska, experts warn that dispersing bases may increase defense burden

The U.S. military conducts agile combat deployment-related training for F-35A fighter jets at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Experts pointed out that although decentralized deployment can reduce the risk of a single base being destroyed, if the air defense force is not increased simultaneously, more strongholds will be exposed to attack threats and increase the overall defense burden. The article cited cases of bases in the Middle East being attacked by Iranian drones and missiles, and referenced Ukraine's battlefield experience, emphasizing the need to establish minimum defense standards and anti-drone capabilities for strongholds.

The US military integrates the "Light Scorpion" mortar system into the ISV-U vehicle to strengthen infantry mobile firepower

The U.S. military received a US$12.9 million contract to integrate Global Military Products' "Lightweight Scorpion" 81mm mobile mortar system into the ISV-U infantry squad multi-purpose vehicle, allowing it to start firing within 30 seconds after parking, and complete firing and withdrawal within 2 minutes. It was verified in the "Balikan 2026" exercise between the United States and the Philippines. The two systems fired 20 rounds in 2 minutes, improving the mobile firepower of light infantry and reducing the burden of transportation.

Japan's military faces personnel challenges amid declining birth rate and public opposition to foreign recruitment

A report by senior former defence officials released by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation on September 2 proposed allowing non-Japanese nationals to join Japan's Self-Defense Forces to address personnel shortfalls caused by declining birth rates and an ageing population. The government rejected the idea, citing public opposition to immigration and instead focusing on improving conditions for current personnel, supporting veterans, and expanding technology use like AI. Employers across Japan struggle to find workers, and analysts note the military lacks appeal for young people, while other countries like Britain recruit Commonwealth citizens.

Japan builds Hiroshima defence hub to prepare for prolonged Taiwan conflict

Japan is constructing a new defence hub in Kure, Hiroshima prefecture, on a former Nippon Steel site to enhance military resilience for a potential Taiwan conflict. The facility will combine logistics, production, and military functions to sustain forces during prolonged fighting. Experts say this reflects a shift from deterrence to endurance planning, as Tokyo prepares to defend itself if deterrence fails. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi warned a Taiwan contingency could be a 'survival-threatening situation' for Japan. The hub underscores Japan's accelerating military build-up amid concerns over China's growing influence in the western Pacific.
