F-22首度空中指揮無人戰機 戰術鏈下達指令2032年500架上線

Quick Look

美空軍與安杜里爾公司完成F-22『猛禽』戰機首次在空中透過戰術資料鏈指揮YFQ-44A『狂怒』無人機,實現有人與無人協同作戰技術突破,為未來部署協同作戰航空載具奠定基礎。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

美空軍正推進協同作戰航空載具(CCA)計畫,目標在2032年前部署至少500架第一階段無人機,以提升有人戰機的作戰效能。

〔記者吳哲宇/綜合報導〕美國空軍有人與無人協同作戰技術取得重大進展,近日首次完成F-22「猛禽」(Raptor)戰鬥機在空中指揮YFQ-44A「狂怒」(Fury)無人戰機的測試,F-22飛行員透過戰術資料鏈向無人機下達指令,再由機載自主軟體即時執行飛行機動及模擬作戰任務。這項成果也為美軍未來部署協同作戰航空載具(CCA)奠定基礎。

軍聞網站《The War Zone》報導,美國空軍與安杜里爾(Anduril)公司宣布,日前完成首次F-22與預量產型YFQ-44A的空中戰術控制展示。安杜里爾證實,這是F-22首次在飛行中直接指揮「狂怒」無人機,與先前F-35僅和無人機進行編隊飛行的測試不同。

請繼續往下閱讀...

根據安杜里爾說明,飛行期間,F-22飛行員從座艙透過戰術資料鏈,向無人機傳送更新後的任務計畫,再由YFQ-44A自主系統解讀指令,執行動態飛行機動及模擬作戰任務。

值得注意的是,美國空軍尚未公布此次F-22的具體改裝內容。過去預算文件曾提及,F-22可能需要整合平板電腦、線纜及相關設備,才能執行無人機控制任務。未來美軍更希望單架F-22能夠同時管理多架CCA,但如何避免增加單座戰機飛行員的操作負擔,仍是必須解決的問題。

美國空軍目前已依據CCA計畫第一階段,訂購安杜里爾的FQ-44A「狂怒」,以及通用原子(General Atomics)的FQ-42A「復仇」(Vengeance)無人機,目標在2032年前建立至少500架第一階段CCA機隊,並規劃於本世紀末前後開始讓首批無人機投入作戰服役。

事實上,安杜里爾今年稍早已完成「狂怒」無人機首次發射AIM-120先進中程空對空飛彈(AMRAAM)的測試,上個月也展示YFQ-44A與F-35戰機編隊飛行。通用原子則曾於2025年11月使用MQ-20「復仇者」(Avenger)無人機,進行F-22控制技術驗證。

此外,美軍預計今年12月讓「狂怒」與「復仇」首次參與「翡翠旗」(Emerald Flag)大規模演習,驗證CCA與有人戰鬥機在更接近實際作戰環境下的協同能力。

美國空軍指出,除了戰術控制技術,CCA未來在部署、發射、回收及後勤支援方面,都需要建立不同於傳統有人戰機的作業程序,飛行員能否信任無人僚機自主執行任務,也將是重要課題。

The importance of loosing aircraft is increasing day by day. Scholars: Increased economic benefits in peacetime and gain air defense time in wartime

Su Ziyun, a researcher at the Institute of National Defense and Security, pointed out that Songshan Airport is a dual-use airport, which can provide about 5 minutes of golden air defense time during wartime. It also has important economic benefits. It has about 5 million annual trips and creates a tourism benefit of at least NT$60 billion. The relocation proposal needs to take into account both national defense and economic value.

The British "Boxer" was severely axed and all its extended models were cancelled. The armored brigade was replaced by "Ajax"

The British Ministry of Defense confirmed that it has canceled the 120 mm mortar, maintenance and relief and anti-tank vehicle variants of the Boxer 8×8 wheeled armored vehicle. In the future, it will focus on mechanized infantry tasks and become the backbone of the mechanized force, while the armored brigade tasks will be taken over by Ajax tracked armored vehicles.

"Ghost Trail" will be displayed in Okinawa. Why is the STR8 unmanned boat based in Taiwan?

The Ghostwake unmanned surface vehicle developed by STR8 Industries took only 120 days from design to launch testing, benefiting from Taiwan's electronics, shipbuilding, robotics and advanced manufacturing capabilities. The U.S. military is expected to demonstrate its autonomous maritime surveillance capabilities off White Beach, Okinawa, from October 19 to 23, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will send personnel to observe. The boat has a top speed of 55 knots, a payload of 350 kilograms, and can be continuously on duty for 7 days. The STR8 is planned to be mass-produced in Taiwan, with an annual output of 200 boats at a single factory.

First time in four years! The USS Theodore Roosevelt arrives in Yokosuka to participate in Blade 27

The US Navy's Nimitz-class aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt arrived at the port of Yokosuka, Japan on October 16, preparing to participate in the US-Japan joint exercise "Sword 27". This is the first time in four years that a non-forward-deployed US warship has entered Yokosuka Port. The Roosevelt will perform maintenance supplies and communicate with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. At the same time, two other aircraft strike groups are still performing missions in the Arabian Sea in the Middle East, showing the different deployments of the US military in the Western Pacific and the Middle East. The USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group also participated in the deployment with the medium-sized unmanned surface vehicle "Seahawk" for the first time.

Putin inspects an auxiliary command post of the Russian Joint Forces Group

Russian President Vladimir Putin inspected the Russian Joint Forces Cluster Auxiliary Command Post on the 16th and said that the Russian army was active in carrying out special military operations and the frontline advance had been steadily advancing at a much faster pace. Since the beginning of this year, it has controlled a total of about 6,500 square kilometers and 310 residential areas. Ukraine only controls more than 10% of the Donetsk region and 16.5% of the Zaporizhia region. The Luhansk region is completely under Russian control. Putin said that the construction of a "safe zone" in the Russia-Ukraine border area is progressing smoothly. Russia's goal is to ensure absolute security in the border area and does not intend to include this issue in possible future peace negotiations. He also said that in response to Uzbek attacks on industrial facilities and fuel and energy sectors in Russia, the Russian armed forces continued to carry out attacks on Uzbek military-industrial complexes and infrastructure and achieved effective results, requiring all troop clusters to continue to perform tasks in accordance with the master plan of special military operations and to carry out large-scale coordinated attacks on Uzbek military-industrial facilities and logistics hubs. Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, reported that since September 1, the Russian army has controlled more than 1,800 square kilometers and recovered 92 residential areas. In retaliation for the Uzbek attack and in accordance with the plans of the General Staff, the Russian army continued to target relevant areas in the Uzbek military-industrial complex, logistics hubs, energy facilities and supporting transportation infrastructure. Large-scale coordinated strikes are carried out against key targets, and facilities involved in the production, storage and launch of missiles and drones are listed as "highest priority targets." The Russian military is improving its air defense capabilities, strengthening the air defense defense circle and protecting key facilities, while rapidly deploying new systems that can effectively detect and destroy drones and cruise missiles.
