歐洲航空巨頭空中巴士公司於3月26日在德國波昂舉行的無人系統貿易展上,發表了一款名為「LOAD」(Low-Cost Air Defence,低成本防空)的無人機概念,旨在以較低成本應對現代空中威脅。

 

設計與性能

LOAD的設計基於2000年代初的Do-DT25無人機,該無人機最初用於靶機訓練,具有成本低且可拋棄的特點。經過改良後,LOAD能夠攜帶三枚導引飛彈,作戰範圍達100公里,並採用彈射方式發射。執行任務後,無人機可透過降落傘回收,實現重複使用。空中巴士計劃在今年底前試飛搭載兩枚飛彈的原型機,並預計在2027年完成最終產品的研發。

 

自主作戰能力

LOAD具備自主能力,能在地面控制站的監督下,自主搜尋、偵測並在獲得批准後對敵方無人機進行打擊。這種設計旨在降低攔截廉價空中威脅的高昂成本,提升防空效率。

與其他無人平台的整合

空中巴士計劃將LOAD與其他無人飛行平台整合,例如該公司的歐洲無人機計劃(Eurodrone),以擴大其作戰範圍,特別是在地面防空雷達覆蓋不足的地區。

 

技術自主性與出口潛力

值得注意的是,LOAD完全由歐洲技術製成,不含美國技術,這意味著其出口將不受美國國際武器貿易條例(ITAR)的限制,為歐洲國家在防空領域提供了更多自主性和靈活性。

 

Airbus Unveils New Air Defense Drone “LOAD”

European aerospace giant Airbus introduced a new drone concept named “LOAD” (Low-Cost Air Defence) on March 26 at an unmanned systems trade show in Bonn, Germany, aiming to address modern aerial threats at a reduced cost.

Design and Performance

LOAD is based on the early 2000s Do-DT25 drone, originally used for target practice, characterized by its low cost and expendability. After modifications, LOAD can carry three guided missiles, has an operational range of 100 kilometers, and is launched via catapult. After completing its mission, the drone can be recovered using a parachute for reuse. Airbus plans to test-fly a prototype equipped with two missiles by the end of this year and aims to finalize the product by 2027.

Autonomous Combat Capability

LOAD possesses autonomous capabilities, allowing it to search, detect, and, upon approval, engage enemy drones under the supervision of a ground control station. This design seeks to reduce the high costs associated with intercepting low-cost aerial threats, thereby enhancing air defense efficiency.

Integration with Other Unmanned Platforms

Airbus plans to integrate LOAD with other unmanned aerial platforms, such as its Eurodrone project, to expand its operational range, particularly in areas not fully covered by ground-based air defense radars.

Technological Autonomy and Export Potential

Notably, LOAD is entirely developed with European technology, free from U.S. components, meaning its export will not be subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) imposed by the United States, providing European nations with greater autonomy and flexibility in the air defense sector.
