Drones at Sea: HMS Prince of Wales Adds Autonomous Muscle in Indo-Pacific Mission
隨著無人科技快速進展,海軍艦隊的後勤模式也悄然轉變。英國皇家海軍即將啟動新一輪印太部署任務,其中備受矚目的,是9架T-150無人機首次編入航艦打擊群,投入海上運輸任務。
As part of its upcoming Indo-Pacific mission, the UK Royal Navy’s HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group will, for the first time, deploy a dedicated drone unit—nine T-150 unmanned aerial systems developed by Malloy Aeronautics.
英軍此次部署的T-150為八旋翼設計,具備垂直起降能力與高度機動性,預計將負責運送重量輕於50公斤的物資,如食物、工程零件與包裹,減輕有人直升機的運輸壓力。
These octocopter-style VTOL drones are expected to handle lightweight logistics—such as food, spare parts, and packages—alleviating the workload of manned helicopters in the fleet.
此次任務中的T-150操作工作由皇家海軍「700X」航空中隊負責,12名無人機飛操官兵將從打擊群中3艘艦艇上進行實地操作演練。指揮官帕菲特少校表示:「我們統計過,在航艦部署期間,有95%的物資重量都低於50公斤,無人機的進場正好補上這個後勤空缺。」
Lieutenant Commander Matt Parfitt, leading the 700X Naval Air Squadron drone team, emphasized the operational relevance: “Around 95% of all logistics loads during carrier operations are under 50kg. That’s exactly where the T-150 fits in.”
T-150是由英國Malloy航太公司研製,擁有最大68公斤酬載能力,可依不同貨重飛行8至45公里,航程最長可達40分鐘,最高時速約每小時96公里。過去多用於陸地後勤,這次隨艦出訪印太,將是其首次海上任務。
The T-150, built by UK-based Malloy Aeronautics, supports a maximum payload of 68kg and can fly up to 45 kilometers depending on load. Previously used in land-based logistics, this Indo-Pacific voyage marks its maiden maritime deployment.

除了技術驗證與操作測試外,英國海軍也看準無人運輸在未來多國聯合任務中的戰術應用潛力。特別的是,美國海軍陸戰隊也正使用T-150作為後勤試驗平台,這款無人機正逐漸成為西方軍隊跨域部署的重要新工具。
Interestingly, the U.S. Marine Corps has also adopted the T-150 for experimental logistics operations, indicating its growing appeal across NATO forces. The drone is increasingly seen as a vital enabler for future expeditionary and coalition missions.
英國皇家海軍強調,這次部署不只是單純的遠洋任務,更是對未來無人系統戰力整合的一次實測。T-150的加入,不僅為艦隊帶來後勤彈性,也讓無人機在海上作戰序列中更進一步向前推進。
The Royal Navy describes this as more than just a long-range mission—it’s a testbed for future drone integration at sea. The T-150 brings logistical flexibility and marks a significant step in embedding autonomous systems into naval warfare.
