美軍為反制日益普遍的小型無人機威脅,持續評估新型防禦裝備與技術。
為反制日益普遍的無人機威脅,美國空軍近日在佛羅里達州麥克迪爾空軍基地(MacDill Air Force Base),運用新型「大黃蜂V2」(Bumblebee V2)攔截無人機展開訓練。這款裝備不必搭載爆炸彈頭,而是透過直接撞擊方式摧毀敵方無人機,即使對方具備抗電子干擾能力,仍可能遭到攔截,成為美軍強化基地防禦的新選項。
根據軍聞網站《Army Recognition》報導,美國空軍第6安全部隊中隊本月8日與第401聯合跨部會特遣隊合作,實施「大黃蜂V2」操作訓練,相關照片與消息於23日公開。這項訓練主要模擬反制威脅軍機、人員及重要設施的小型無人機,提升基地安全部隊的應處能力。
「大黃蜂V2」由美國Perennial Autonomy公司研製,採用第一人稱視角(FPV)操作的多旋翼設計,透過直接撞擊使敵方無人機失去飛行能力。美國五角大廈今年1月30日授予該公司價值520萬美元、折合新台幣約1.6億元的合約,規劃自3月起交付相關裝備,供軍方測試評估。
值得注意的是,「大黃蜂V2」具備三鏡頭配置及自動目標辨識功能,可在操作人員監督下協助追蹤、攔截目標,降低對高階飛行操控技巧的依賴。美國陸軍今年7月曾在班寧堡測試相關技術,但此次空軍訓練實際運用哪些自動化功能,尚未獲得證實。
此次訓練也納入可發射網彈攔截無人機的「聖騎士」(Paladin)系統,讓官兵熟悉不同反制方式。相較於傳統電子干擾,撞擊式攔截可對付依預設航線飛行、不仰賴即時通訊的無人機,但仍須考量攔截後殘骸掉落及基地空域安全。
美軍目前持續評估這類裝備如何融入基地防禦體系,惟官方尚未證實「大黃蜂V2」已在麥克迪爾基地常態部署,或此次訓練曾成功擊落目標。

According to US media reports, the US military is ready to launch a new round of large-scale strikes against Iran, targeting energy, military and nuclear facilities. The operation may be ordered after the U.S. midterm elections, and the U.S. military can launch the operation within 96 hours. At the same time, the United States is expected to withdraw some Middle East embassy personnel in response to potential retaliation.

Satellite imagery indicates China may have begun production of the KJ-3000 airborne early warning aircraft. Spotted at the Xian-Yanliang aviation complex, the platform could improve PLA target tracking and air operation coordination in the western Pacific.

The Army recently promoted the "Lu Sheng No. 2" exercise and "New Base Training CTC 2.0", breaking the traditional schedule-based training courses and preset scripts, focusing on unscripted confrontation, battlefield adversity response and the spirit of allowing failure to learn, to comprehensively enhance the national army's actual combat capabilities.

As confidence in the United States' security commitments falters, French President Emmanuel Macron promotes a "forward nuclear deterrence" plan and considers deploying nuclear-capable Tornado fighter jets in Europe and sharing intelligence. Currently, 10 countries including Britain, Germany, and Poland have participated, but France still retains independent nuclear weapons decision-making power.

The Russian Navy did not deploy any ships in the Mediterranean for two consecutive months from early July to early September this year, which was the first time in more than 10 years. Analysis points to the impact of restrictions on bases in Syria, protection of the shadow fleet and insufficient ocean-going supplies.

When the Chinese Air Force was performing a routine mission in the southwest airspace to expel a shared aircraft, it was unexpectedly expelled by an unreasonable broadcast from an unknown foreign military aircraft along with the US military. The US military and the Chinese military subsequently responded with broadcasts, highlighting the complex international situation and air defense pressure in the airspace.
