2025 年 7 月 28 日，美國國防創新單位（DIU） 表示，出於對今年夏季阿拉斯加試飛成效不佳的反思，正評估將無人機與通訊設備的後續測試安排在更貼近實戰的環境中。烏克蘭因其高度電磁干擾與實戰頻繁，成為最理想的測試地點之一。

此前六月份參與測試的五家國防科技公司在阿拉斯加 Fort Wainwright 附近進行無人機GPS干擾與通訊抗干擾性能評估，但多數原型系統因干擾頻率高、飛行穩定性差初期失敗，僅靠次日調整略有改善。DIU 內部認為，這種試錯式實境操作對廠商與軍方技術成熟度提升具高度價值  。

烏克蘭目前已成為全球無人機戰爭創新實驗場，尤其在電子戰、FPV 自殺式無人機部署、AI 自主導航套件的實戰應用最為先進。美國軍方人士指出，若能將工程師直接派至烏克蘭前線與烏軍部隊共訓，將加速技術迭代與可靠驗證  。

🔍 三大觀察重點 │ Three Key Takeaways

1. 烏克蘭因實戰環境電磁對抗強烈，具備真實測試價值
    
   • 與實驗室環境相比，烏克蘭前線能提供高真實性的GPS干擾與電子對抗測試空間。
      
2. 阿拉斯加測試暴露業界技術差距與學習曲線
    
   • 多數原型無法承受干擾條件，凸顯美軍測試設施與廠商軟硬體能力的反差。
      

3. 對台灣而言，有助重塑國防無人機研發策略
    

   • 台灣可參考美方實驗模式，建立強韌化測試基地或與盟友合作，共同提升無人機在弱電與強干擾環境下的可靠性。

On July 28, 2025, the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) announced it is considering conducting follow-up testing of drones and communications systems in more combat-realistic environments, after reflecting on the limited success of its summer test flights in Alaska. Ukraine, due to its intense electromagnetic interference and frequent combat conditions, is emerging as one of the most ideal testbeds.

In June, five defense tech companies participated in evaluations near Fort Wainwright, Alaska, where their drone prototypes were tested against GPS jamming and electronic warfare interference. Most systems failed initially due to high jamming frequency and flight instability, with only minor improvements observed after next-day adjustments. DIU internally concluded that such real-world trial-and-error exercises are highly valuable for accelerating technology maturity for both industry and the military.

Ukraine has effectively become the world’s leading innovation ground for drone warfare, especially in the practical deployment of electronic warfare systems, FPV kamikaze drones, and AI-powered autonomous navigation kits. U.S. military officials emphasized that sending engineers directly to Ukraine’s frontlines to train alongside Ukrainian forces would significantly speed up iteration and validation of new technologies.

🔍 Three Key Takeaways

1. Ukraine provides real-world electromagnetic warfare conditions with high test value
    
   • Compared to lab settings, Ukraine’s frontline offers an authentic environment for GPS jamming and electronic warfare system testing.
2. Alaska trials reveal capability gaps and steep learning curves in the industry
    
   • Most prototypes failed to withstand jamming conditions, highlighting disparities between U.S. test infrastructure and defense contractors’ capabilities.

3. Strategic insights for Taiwan’s defense drone development
    

   • Taiwan can emulate the U.S. approach by establishing hardened test sites or collaborating with allies to boost drone system resilience in low-signal, high-interference environments.
