美軍B-52H轟炸機換裝新型衛星通訊系統 IRIS提升超視距傳輸能力

服役超過70年的美國空軍B-52H戰略轟炸機正逐步換裝名為IRIS的新型衛星通訊系統,可傳送語音、資料、影像及影片。

Why It Matters

B-52自1950年代服役至今,美軍計畫使其持續服役至2050年代並進行現代化升級。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕服役超過70年的美國空軍B-52H「同溫層堡壘」(Stratofortress)戰略轟炸機,現在換上新的衛星通訊系統,不只能與遠端指揮官保持聯繫,還能傳送語音、資料、影像及影片。美軍表示,這套名為IRIS的系統已進入實際運用,但目前仍屬原型系統。

據軍聞網站《Defence Blog》報導,IRIS已部署在多架B-52上,截至今年4月1日,部分系統已交付路易斯安那州巴克斯代爾空軍基地的第49測試與評估中隊,供人員訓練及執行任務使用。美國空軍全球打擊司令部並未透露目前究竟有多少架B-52裝上IRIS。

老轟炸機換上低軌衛星鏈路

IRIS由路易斯安那州什里夫波特的Outerlink Global Solutions開發,透過銥衛星(Iridium)公司的Certus衛星通訊服務傳輸資料。這套系統可讓B-52在超出傳統視距無線電通訊範圍後,仍能將資訊傳回指揮端,未來將逐步取代B-52自2017年使用的Global Iridium Bomber Set衛星通訊設備。

IRIS並非突然出現的新構想。第49測試與評估中隊早在2022年6月,就曾在巴克斯代爾空軍基地進行B-52搭載IRIS的首次展示飛行,測試飛機與地面指揮單位之間的語音及資料傳輸,包括影像與影片。

美軍今年3月進一步進行地面及飛行測試,確認B-52飛行期間能維持穩定連線,並透過獲准的軍用網路路徑完成端到端測試。相關測試完成後,B-52計畫辦公室也核准系統進行後續飛行測試。

IRIS計畫最初透過美國空軍AFWERX小型企業創新研究計畫推進,2023年8月再獲得一筆為期4年、總值2600萬美元的合約,協助將這套商用衛星通訊技術從原型推向實際運用。

B-52自1950年代服役至今,仍是美軍長程打擊與核威懾力量的重要機型。美國空軍計畫讓B-52持續服役至2050年代,並進行新發動機、新雷達等B-52J現代化升級。不過,美軍表示IRIS仍會持續接受測試與評估,未來整個B-52機隊採用的長期超視距通訊方案,目前仍在評估中。
