愛國者新攔截器改了什麼? 洛馬PAC-3 Edge瞄準極音速威脅

Quick Look

洛克希德馬丁於10月9日公開新型PAC-3 Edge攔截器,以現役PAC-3 MSE為基礎改良,採用全新尋標器與諾斯洛普‧格魯曼多脈衝固態火箭馬達,旨在提升對極音速武器及先進飛彈的攔截能力,目前仍處於開發階段,預計2027年開始測試,2031年具備快速部署條件。

Why It Matters

美軍愛國者飛彈系統將迎來新型攔截器,洛克希德馬丁公開PAC-3 Edge以應對極音速武器及先進飛彈威脅,基於現役PAC-3 MSE進行改良。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕美軍愛國者飛彈系統將迎來新型攔截器,但這款新彈尚未進入實際測試階段。美國國防承包商洛克希德‧馬丁(Lockheed Martin,下稱洛馬)10月9日公開「PAC-3 Edge」攔截器,主打因應極音速武器及其他先進飛彈威脅,並已進入美國陸軍「未來攔截器計畫」(Future Interceptor program)的下一階段開發。

據軍事工業媒體《Defence Industry Reports》報導,PAC-3 Edge以現役PAC-3 MSE攔截器為基礎進行改良。洛馬指出,公司已投入約2.5億美元(約新台幣82億元)研發全新尋標器,目標是提升攔截器在更高空域及更遠距離的作戰表現。

請繼續往下閱讀...

尋標器是飛彈追蹤目標的重要組件。PAC-3 Edge採用全新設計的尋標器;推進系統則使用諾斯洛普‧格魯曼(Northrop Grumman)開發的多脈衝固態火箭馬達,並搭配重新設計的控制系統。洛馬表示,這些改動旨在提升飛彈的機動性、動力與速度,以擴大對空中目標及先進飛彈的防禦範圍。

不過,PAC-3 Edge目前仍處於開發階段。上述性能是洛馬對新設計的說明,不能視為已完成測試的最終結果,也不能據此認定這款攔截器已經證實能成功攔截極音速飛彈。

整合多型發射平台提升戰場適應力

在系統整合方面,洛馬規劃讓PAC-3 Edge與美軍現有及未來的防空與飛彈防禦系統配合運作,包括「整合戰鬥指揮系統」(IBCS)、M903發射車及「海馬士」(HIMARS)Flex發射平台。若相關整合按計畫推進,這款攔截器將可搭配多種載具運用;但各項技術整合的實際進度,仍須等待後續開發與測試確認。

PAC-3 Edge的研發,也與現役愛國者攔截器需求增加有關。俄烏戰爭及中東衝突推升相關武器需求,洛馬正與波音(Boeing)、L3Harris Technologies等企業擴大PAC-3系列攔截器的生產能力。依洛馬公布的時程,PAC-3 Edge預計於2027年開始測試,目標是在2031年具備快速部署條件。

Surprised to see Communist J-10 fighter jets appear at Taitung Zhihang Base on National Day? The truth exposure network was dumbfounded

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.
