無人機全新突破！垂直起降「阿利卡」進軍特戰與艦載任務

Aliaca VTOL drone unveiled in France with enhanced ISR capabilities and naval deployment flexibility

在法國波爾多舉行的「特種作戰部隊創新網絡研討會」（SOFINS）上，歐洲航太巨擘空中巴士（Airbus）展示了一款針對現代戰場需求量身打造的全新型無人機——「阿利卡」垂直起降版本（VTOL Aliaca）。

Airbus showcased its latest vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) version of the Aliaca unmanned aerial vehicle at the SOFINS defense expo in Bordeaux, France, underlining a growing trend in multi-domain operational flexibility.

這款由Airbus旗下Survey Copter公司開發的VTOL機型，將無人機的機動性與偵察能力提升至新層級，能在艦載與陸地等多種環境靈活部署，有效支援特戰部隊與海上任務。

Designed to take off and land vertically using four rotors, the VTOL Aliaca can operate from unprepared terrain or compact naval decks lacking arrestor gear or catapults—making it ideal for special forces and maritime patrol missions.

除具備固定翼飛行的航程優勢，「阿利卡」還整合了高階光電／紅外線感測器、攝影鏡頭與自主飛行控制系統，執行任務時可擴大監控範圍，有效偵測數百公里內的AIS訊號，對於海上監控與情監偵任務是一大利器。

During missions, the drone switches to fixed-wing mode for endurance and range. It is capable of detecting Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals across vast maritime zones, supporting intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), anti-trafficking, and patrol operations.

這款無人機的翼展為3.5公尺，機身長2.1公尺，最大起飛重量為27公斤，目前共有兩種版本：Aliaca EVO與Aliaca ER，分別主打電動與燃油推進技術。

The UAV comes in two configurations: the Aliaca EVO, powered by an electric motor with a 50 km range and 3-hour endurance, and the Aliaca ER, featuring a fuel-based engine that extends its reach to 80 km and offers up to 6 hours of flight time.

Aliaca EVO可攜帶2公斤有效載重，適合快速部署與中短程任務；而Aliaca ER則具備3公斤有效負重，能進行更長時間、更大範圍的情報蒐集。

With payload capacities of 2 to 3 kilograms, both variants offer operators the flexibility to tailor sensor packages for different mission needs—from tactical ISR to persistent maritime surveillance.

Survey Copter執行長康吉萊姆（Christophe Canguilhem）表示，VTOL版Aliaca已於2024年底至2025年初完成陸地與海上多次測試，證明其穩定可靠。此前Aliaca系列機型也已獲法國海軍採用，用於前線偵查與海上執法任務。

Survey Copter CEO Christophe Canguilhem noted that the new variant had completed extensive flight testing in both land and sea environments and is expected to be incorporated into France’s SMDM (Système de Mini-Drone Marine) program for naval mini-drone systems.

隨著無人機技術逐步滲透各式軍事單位，Aliaca的進化展示了歐洲在中小型無人機領域的設計實力，也象徵未來聯合作戰架構中，「靈活部署＋精準偵搜」將成為核心能力之一。

As unmanned systems become indispensable assets in modern warfare, the VTOL Aliaca exemplifies the convergence of compact design and battlefield adaptability—marking a key milestone in France’s evolving drone doctrine.
