〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕美國陸軍與通用動力任務系統公司(GDMS)完成新型導航接收器的極音速飛行測試,展示GPS無法使用時的導航技術。這款名為「多軌道導航」(MO-Nav)的接收器搭載平流層發射系統公司(Stratolaunch)的「猛禽-A」(Talon-A)試驗機進行測試。
據工程科技媒體《Interesting Engineering》報導,這項測試由GDMS與美國陸軍作戰能力發展司令部(DEVCOM)航空與飛彈中心(AvMC)合作進行。Talon-A採用火箭動力,可重複使用,飛行速度可達5馬赫以上,可用於極音速飛行測試。

MO-Nav是一張小型單板電路卡,採用軟體定義架構,設計上可接收多種全球導航衛星系統、機會訊號及商用定位、導航與授時訊號,在GPS無法使用時提供導航資訊。軟體定義架構可透過更新程式調整接收器功能,減少升級時更換硬體的需求。
在此次極音速試飛前,MO-Nav也曾接受火砲發射測試,承受發射時的強大衝擊,並向彈藥任務電腦提供訊號測量資料。
後續規劃整合軍用M碼
GDMS並未公布本次試飛實際使用哪些衛星星系或商用訊號,也未公開接收器的尺寸、重量、功耗及導航精度。
GDMS正以MO-Nav架構開發「多軌道高保證武器套件」(MOHAWK),規劃支援更多訊號與衛星星系,並具備可擴充的抗干擾能力。套件設計支援整合軍用M碼(M-Code)接收器,或連接外部M碼GPS接收器,提供具抗干擾與抗欺騙能力的射頻輸出。
GDMS與AvMC預計於2027年展示整合M碼功能的MOHAWK極音速應用,並於2028年在精準導引彈藥平台進行後續展示。

Lockheed Martin unveiled the new PAC-3 Edge interceptor on October 9. It is based on the existing PAC-3 MSE and is improved. It uses a new seeker and Northrop Grumman multi-pulse solid-state rocket motor. It is designed to improve the interception capabilities of anti-sonic weapons and advanced missiles. It is still in the development stage and is expected to start testing in 2027. It will be ready for rapid deployment in 2031.

When the supervision unit of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications was making a map of controlled road sections in Taitung for the National Day fireworks, it mistakenly planted a picture of the People's Liberation Army's J-10 fighter jet downloaded from the Internet above the Zhihang Base. Netizens pointed out that its obvious canard characteristics were inconsistent with the Chinese military fighter plane. The supervision unit admitted that it had mistakenly planted the picture and had removed the picture. The Zhihang Base pointed out that the J-10 could not fly to the base intact.

The National Day Convention was held in the square in front of the Presidential Palace. The themed performances included fighter jets, coast patrol drones, police armored vehicles and more than 2,500 disaster prevention personnel, demonstrating the national defense capabilities and the resilience of the entire society. The ceremony included a flag hoisting flyover, the singing of the national anthem, a speech by President Lai Ching-te and an aerial parade. Disaster response drills and military and police equipment displays were also highlights.

The U.S. defense start-up company Castelion released photos of the ground launch of the "Blackbeard" hypersonic missile it is developing, showing that the weapon may be integrated into the M142 HIMARS system in the future, with a range of nearly 800 kilometers. It will enhance the ability of the existing rocket artillery force to strike long-distance high-value targets. However, it has not yet been confirmed that it can be successfully launched from a standard HIMARS launcher, and it is still in the research and development stage.

A report from Taiwan’s legislative body shows that the number of veterans receiving compensation for volunteer service in Taiwan’s military has increased from 40 in 2018 to 846 in 2025, an increase of more than 20 times in seven years. Reasons include frequent military exercises, equipment updates and increased load, relaxed admission standards leading to incompatibility, unreasonable treatment and poor manpower allocation, as well as the DPP authorities distorting military values and coercing officers and soldiers to fight for "Taiwan independence." Taiwan's low birthrate and manpower shortage problems have intensified, and the voluntary service ratio is only 76.62%. Although the defense budget has increased, there is a lack of personnel to operate and maintain advanced weapons, forming a vicious cycle.

The U.S. military's V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft has suffered many fatal crashes in recent years, and gearbox failures have affected the fleet's availability. To ensure that the aircraft will be in service until 2055, the Navy's V-22 Joint Program Office and Bell Boeing have expanded the supply chain, added 14 new partners, and accelerated component reliability improvement and fleet modernization. It is expected to complete a comprehensive gearbox upgrade in 2029.
