美國海軍本週在維吉尼亞州正式成立全新指揮機構,將分散在空中、海面與水下的無人作戰發展集中同單位,目標讓無人系統真正成為前線水兵能投入作戰的工具。
美國海軍在維吉尼亞州成立「機器人與自主系統作戰發展中心」(RASWDC),旨在整合空中、海面與水下無人系統,制定戰術、培訓水兵並將實戰經驗回饋予採購單位,以維持海上戰術優勢。

各型無人機、無人水面艇與自主潛航器陸續研發,美軍亟需將其整合至第一線作戰。
美國海軍作戰部長考德爾上將(Daryl Caudle)出席「機器人與自主系統作戰發展中心」剪彩儀式,背景可見無人系統展示。
各型無人機、無人水面艇與自主潛航器陸續研發出廠,但第一線部隊到底該如何將它們投入作戰?美國海軍本週正式成立全新的專屬指揮機構,將原本分散在空中、海面與水下的無人作戰發展集中在同一個單位,目標是讓無人系統真正成為前線水兵能投入作戰的工具。
國防軍事網站《Defence Blog》報導,美國海軍本週在維吉尼亞州小溪-斯托里堡聯合遠征基地(JEBLC-FS),正式成立「機器人與自主系統作戰發展中心」(RASWDC),隸屬美國艦隊司令部,並由海軍少將史密斯(Melvin Smith)出任首任指揮官。該中心將成為美國海軍整合空中、海面與水下無人自主系統的單一作戰發展據點。
史密斯表示,該單位的核心任務是整合海軍跨領域的自主系統,在逼真環境下測試無人裝備、制定作戰準則與戰術,並建立訓練機制,認證能夠操作這些系統的水兵。他說,該中心的任務是確保海軍不只是部署無人系統,也能運用這些系統取得作戰優勢。
該中心也將負責把測試、演習與訓練所取得的性能資料,回傳給負責裝備設計與採購的工程師及專案管理人員,讓無人系統的開發與艦隊實際運用形成直接回饋。
美國海軍作戰部長考德爾(Daryl Caudle)上將在剪彩儀式上表示,海軍必須迅速把機器人與自主系統納入日常運作、訓練與部署,以維持海上優勢,並讓官兵在高端戰事中具備戰術優勢。
美國海軍表示,RASWDC不會取代現有的作戰發展中心、各部隊司令部或系統司令部,而是與這些單位協作,分享測試成果與經驗,並提出新的作戰需求。

Japan will deploy long-range "Type 25 land-based anti-ship missiles" for the first time in the "Sharp Sword" exercise with the United States in October, cooperating with the US military to share target information and confirm launch procedures, but will not conduct live ammunition firing. The move is aimed at strengthening Japan-US cooperation and responding to China's arms expansion.

Japan will hold a "Sharp Sword" exercise with the United States in October. It will deploy the domestically produced "Type 25 land-based anti-ship missile" with counterattack capabilities for the first time. Operation troops and launch vehicles will be deployed at the Oyanobara exercise ground in Kumamoto Prefecture, but live ammunition will not be launched. This move is intended to strengthen Japan-U.S. cooperation and target China.

Recent Houthi attacks on Saudi energy and military sites are testing the newly signed Mecca Joint Defence Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey.

The latest test flight video of China's new generation of tailless heavy-duty stealth fighter "J-36" has been exposed, revealing that it uses a two-dimensional thrust vector nozzle similar to the US F-22, a three-engine configuration and a light-colored radome, indicating that the aircraft is still in the continuous modification stage.

Taiwan has accelerated the production of more than 1,000 Hsiung Feng series missiles in the past five years, but the number actually launched in previous exercises has only been about 15 to 25. The military stated that this move was to prevent the Communist army from calculating life expectancy and save the defense budget, and to use a scientific re-examination mechanism to maintain combat readiness levels.

Former U.S. Rep. Gallagher wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal warning that Taiwan is the world's advanced semiconductor hub. If China launches a blockade or invasion, the U.S. AI industry will face a severe impact on research and development stagnation and supply chain disruption. The U.S. should incorporate Taiwan's defense into its semiconductor and AI strategy.
