在美國馬里蘭州舉行的2025年「海空裝備展」(Sea-Air-Space 2025)上,美國新創國防科技公司Anduril Industries首次公開一款未來海戰態勢中極具戰略意義的水下無人載具(UUV)──「銅頭蝮」(Copperhead)。
At Sea-Air-Space 2025, held in National Harbor, Maryland, Anduril Industries unveiled a brand-new underwater autonomous vehicle named Copperhead.
這款新型水下無人機不僅可執行情報蒐集與偵察監控等任務,還具備搭載彈頭執行攻擊的能力,甚至能由大型無人潛艇如 Dive-XL 與 Dive-LD 攜帶並發射,大幅擴展海軍的水下作戰選項。
Designed to be launched from larger uncrewed submarines like the Dive-XL and Dive-LD, Copperhead is capable of reconnaissance or lethal missions, depending on the payload.
模組化設計可攻可守
「銅頭蝮」依任務需求分為兩種版本──可執行攻擊任務的「Copperhead-M」,以及用於巡邏與偵察的基本型號。它們都能透過Anduril自家的「Lattice AI任務系統」進行自主操作與協同任務規劃。
Copperhead comes in two variants: a reconnaissance version and the Copperhead-M, which is equipped with a warhead for torpedo-like attacks. Both operate using Anduril's Lattice AI system.
而這種模組化設計,讓它不僅能鎖定軍事目標,還可協助保護關鍵海底基礎設施、監控可疑潛航體或從事長時間潛伏監視。
This modularity enables the vehicle to adapt for a variety of missions—from military strikes to infrastructure protection and underwater surveillance.
預見未來戰場:海面下的無人對抗
Anduril 工程與計畫副總裁 Shane Arnott 指出,面對未來可能在西太平洋爆發的水面與水下大規模戰爭,美軍必須快速建立一支具備大量低成本且高度自動化的無人載具部隊。
"A future maritime conflict will be dominated by swarms of unmanned surface and underwater systems," said Shane Arnott, VP of Engineering and Programs at Anduril.
Copperhead 的設計正是為此而生。它不僅可在Anduril位於俄亥俄州的自動化兵工廠進行量產,也採用與「梭魚-M」(Barracuda-M)類似的商用現成技術,具備壓低成本、提升產能的優勢。
Much like its aerial cousin Barracuda-M, the Copperhead is expected to be produced at scale using commercial off-the-shelf technologies in Anduril’s Ohio factory.
