美軍新「末日專機」竟由運輸機改裝!C-130J-30首架機體交付

美軍接收首架C-130J-30,未來將改裝為E-130J「鳳凰二世」以接替服役逾30年的E-6B「水星」,維持與水下核潛艦的戰略通訊。

美國海軍10月15日在喬治亞州接收首架C-130J-30「超級大力士」(Super Hercules)運輸機,這架飛機將進一步改裝為E-130J「鳳凰二世」(Phoenix II)戰略通訊機,未來接替服役逾30年的E-6B「水星」(Mercury),負責維持美軍與水下彈道飛彈核潛艦之間的戰略通訊。

軍事專業媒體《The Aviationist》16日報導,交付儀式在喬治亞州馬里塔(Marietta)的洛克希德‧馬丁(Lockheed Martin)生產設施舉行。這次交付的是供E-130J計畫改裝使用的基礎機體,後續仍須整合任務系統,並非已完成改裝、可執行任務的新型通訊機。

E-130J將執行美軍TACAMO任務。TACAMO是「Take Charge and Move Out」的縮寫,屬於美國核指揮、管制與通訊(NC3)體系的一環,主要任務是維持美國總統、國防部長及美國戰略司令部與海軍彈道飛彈核潛艦之間的通訊。即使地面指揮設施遭到破壞,這條通訊鏈仍須設法維持。

由於無線電訊號難以穿透海水,TACAMO任務機須利用極低頻(VLF)訊號,透過拖曳天線向水下核潛艦傳送訊息。這項能力讓美軍能在特定情況下,持續向海上核武部隊傳遞戰略指令。

依據《The Aviationist》報導,首接收機體後,計畫將進入任務系統整合階段,由諾斯洛普‧格魯曼(Northrop Grumman)主導整合工作,柯林斯航太(Collins Aerospace)則將提供極低頻通訊系統。新機須完成相關設備整合與測試,才能具備執行TACAMO任務所需的能力。

The US military plans to spend US$50 billion to expand its military! The output of drones and ground robots is in the millions, creating independent weapons mass production capabilities.

U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth proposed a US$50 billion investment concept at the AUSA annual conference, planning to increase the scale of the U.S. military's autonomous weapons to millions of sets, covering one-way attack drones, ground robots and maritime unmanned systems, to enhance the ability to sustain operations in high-intensity conflicts.

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.
