BAE Systems secures US Army contract for electronic warfare system to counter missiles and drones

Quick Look

  • BAE Systems has received a formal contract from the US Army for its "Soft Kill Active Protection System" (Soft Kill APS), specifically the "Rapid Optical Observation and Kill" (ROOK) system.
  • This non-kinetic electronic warfare capability aims to disrupt guidance systems of incoming missiles and drones, offering a cost-effective countermeasure against modern battlefield threats like FPV drones.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The US Army is accelerating the integration of electronic warfare defenses for armored vehicles due to the changing nature of modern battlefields, particularly the proliferation of FPV attack drones. BAE Systems' ROOK system, a non-kinetic 'soft kill' protection technology, aims to disrupt the guidance of incoming missiles and drones through electronic jamming and deception.

〔記者吳哲宇/綜合報導〕面對FPV攻擊無人機大量改變現代戰場樣貌,美國陸軍正加速為裝甲車輛增添電戰防護手段。BAE Systems近日宣布獲得美國陸軍「軟殺主動防護系統」(Soft Kill APS)正式計畫合約,將為未來戰鬥車輛提供能干擾飛彈與無人機的電戰反制能力。

軍聞網站《Breaking Defense》報導,此次BAE獲選的「快速光學觀測與殺傷」(ROOK)系統,屬於非動能「軟殺」防護技術,透過電子干擾、訊號欺騙與光電反制方式,使來襲飛彈或無人機失去導引能力,而非直接以砲彈或飛彈攔截摧毀目標。

報導指出,ROOK源自BAE自2019年開始發展的TERRA RAVEN系統。當年該系統曾於美國陸軍的軟殺標案中勝出,並被評估整合至M2布萊德雷步兵戰鬥車,如今則進一步發展為正式量產計畫,本次合約第一階段價值2000萬美元(約臺幣6.2億元)。

另外,BAE也將同步推進「Stormcrow」雷射反制系統發展。該系統利用雷射能量持續干擾敵方感測器與導引系統,具備低成本、高持續性與近乎「無限彈藥」的優勢,可長時間對抗空中威脅。

值得注意的是,美國陸軍強調ROOK採開放式架構設計,可整合於多種地面平台,不受特定車型限制。未來除布萊德雷戰鬥車外,也可能部署於其他戰車與裝甲車輛。

報導指出,俄烏戰爭已證明廉價FPV無人機能以極低成本摧毀高價值裝甲目標,使各國軍隊開始重新檢討傳統主動防護系統概念。過去主動防護系統多依賴攔截彈擊落來襲威脅,但面對大量無人機飽和攻擊時,成本與攔截彈數量往往難以負荷。

因此,美軍近年逐漸將電子戰與軟殺技術納入裝甲防護體系,希望透過干擾敵方無人機控制鏈路、衛星導航訊號與導引系統,以更低成本抵禦大規模無人機威脅。

另外,美國國防部在2027財年預算案中,也大幅提高反無人機相關經費至近10億美元(約新台幣314.1億元),顯示反無人機與電子戰防護已成為未來地面作戰的重要發展方向。
