洛克希德·馬丁釋出神秘預告 暗示Vectis無人機計畫進展

Quick Look

洛克希德·馬丁在社群平台發布極短神秘影片,顯示黑色飛行器輪廓並附文『解鎖下一等級,更多內容敬請期待』。航空媒體《The Aviationist》比對後指出該剪影高度吻合其Skunk Works研發的協同作戰航空器Vectis,顯示該計畫可能有新進展。洛馬曾於2025年9月首次公開Vectis,定位為美軍第5級大型無人飛行系統,可與第五代及下一代有人戰機協同作戰,目標2027年首飛,動力採用威廉斯國際FJ44-4渦輪扇發動機。

Why It Matters

洛克希德·馬丁的Skunk Works部門以研發先進軍用飛機聞名,曾負責F-117夜鷹、F-22猛禽等項目。Vectis是其最新無人協同作戰航空器概念,旨在補強有人戰機作戰能力。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕美國軍火巨頭洛克希德.馬丁(Lockheed Martin)12日在社群平台釋出一段極短的神秘影片,畫面中出現一架飛行器的黑色輪廓,並附上「解鎖下一等級,更多內容敬請期待」的文字。航空專業媒體《The Aviationist》比對後指出,這道神秘剪影高度吻合洛馬旗下「臭鼬工廠」(Skunk Works)研發中的協同作戰航空器(CCA)「Vectis」,暗示這項計畫可能已有新的進展。

洛馬並未在影片中直接指名Vectis,但《The Aviationist》指出,短片中的飛行器從正前方呈現的外型,與洛馬在2026年英國范保羅航展(Farnborough International Airshow)展示的Vectis模型及鑰匙圈紀念品輪廓高度吻合。這也是目前公開資料中少數可從正面觀察Vectis外型的參考。

請繼續往下閱讀...

洛馬2025年9月首度公開Vectis,表示由臭鼬工廠以內部資金主導研發。該機屬於美軍「第5級」(Group 5)大型無人飛行系統,定位為可與第五代及下一代有人戰機協同作戰的自主飛機,可執行精準打擊、電子戰、情監偵及攻勢與防禦反空戰等任務。

當時洛馬表示,Vectis已進入研發,零組件已下單,目標是在2年內完成首飛,也就是2027年。如今洛馬再次釋出神秘預告,且官方Vectis網頁同步出現「Skunk Works announcement loading」字樣,顯示公司正在準備進一步公布相關訊息。

Vectis多項性能數據仍未公開,包括最大起飛重量、航程、作戰半徑、滯空時間、最高速度及武器酬載等。洛馬過去僅透露機身尺寸小於F-16「戰隼」(F-16 Fighting Falcon),並表示其滯空能力可因應印太、歐洲及中央司令部等不同戰區的任務需求。

在動力方面,洛馬已選定威廉斯國際(Williams International)的FJ44-4渦輪扇發動機作為Vectis原型機動力,推力逾3600磅。洛馬整合系統專案總監麥卡德爾(Peter McArdle)表示,採用成熟的發動機有助於加快研發時程,盡快驗證Vectis的作戰能力。

Japan’s Defense Minister: Revised security document does not rule out nuclear-powered submarine option

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said on the 11th that when Japan is revising its security documents, nuclear-powered submarines will not be excluded from the submarine power options, but it has not yet decided whether to own them. He also pointed out that nuclear submarines have advantages such as long-lasting submersibles, but they also face challenges such as cost and technology.

Expert analysis: Taiwan's submarine Haikun will soon be capable of submarine-launched cruise missiles

The domestically built submarine Haikun is expected to be delivered this year, and subsequent ships will be built in a "2+3+2" model. The National Defense and Security Group, a Taiwanese think tank, recommends that follow-up ships should have submarine-launched missile capabilities to enhance combat capabilities. However, Ji Dongyun, chairman of the Taiwan Security Development Association, pointed out that the current Stegoryus-class submarines can only launch Harpoon anti-ship missiles. If they want to launch submarine-launched cruise missiles, the Chinese Academy of Sciences currently does not have this capability, unless the United States technology Technology transfer, otherwise Taiwan will not be able to achieve it within 10 years, or it may even take 20 years. Because this is an offensive weapon, it needs to be developed by itself first. Currently, Japan and South Korea do not have this capability in the Dosan class. However, South Korea's KSS-3 submarine has added a vertical launch system and self-developed cruise missiles, which may be a reference for Taiwan.
