「費克提斯」登場:洛馬揭露新型無人僚機,兩年內首飛可期!

洛克希德·馬丁旗下臭鼬工廠(Skunk Works)近日公開一款名為 「費克提斯」(Vectis) 的新型協同戰鬥航空器(CCA)概念機,宣稱此機以匿蹤外型與高度模組化為設計核心,目標在未來能與有人戰機形成「有人/無人組合」(MUM-T)作戰體系。
Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works recently revealed a new Loyal Wingman concept called Vectis, emphasizing stealthy shaping and high modularity. The company positions the platform to operate as part of manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) with crewed fighters.
廠商在宣傳中未披露完整性能數據,但示意影片展示了 Vectis 與 F-22、F-35 等有人機,以及其他無人系統協同執行任務的想像畫面:由 Vectis 運用自身感測器先行偵蒐、標定目標,再接受有人機指揮進行接戰或誘餌/壓制任務。
While detailed specs were not released, promotional animations show Vectis operating with F-22s, F-35s and other UAS: using onboard sensors for lead ISR and target designation, then acting under manned aircraft direction to engage, screen, or suppress threats.
核心賣點在於「模組化與開放式架構」:洛馬強調 Vectis 可快速更換酬載(感測器、電戰包、通訊中繼或武器模組),以應對戰場任務瞬息變化,並提升生存性與任務續航彈性。
A core selling point is its modular, open-architecture design: Lockheed highlights that Vectis can be rapidly reconfigured with sensors, EW packs, comms relays or weapons modules to match changing mission profiles while enhancing survivability and endurance.
公司目標是在兩年內推動首飛,並將這款概念機作為後續改良與量產的基礎。洛馬同時指出,儘管美空軍在 CCA「增量2」中尋求更低成本的方案,Vectis 的定位是以作戰彈性與高存活率來吸引用戶,未必是現階段最便宜的選項,但可透過用戶需求導向進行構型調整。
The company aims for a first flight within two years and intends to use this demonstrator as a basis for refinement and potential production. Lockheed notes that while the U.S. Air Force is seeking lower-cost options under CCA Increment 2, Vectis is positioned to sell its operational flexibility and high survivability — not necessarily as the cheapest choice, but as a configurable platform adaptable to customer needs.
在戰術應用面,Vectis 若能量產並與有人機高密度協同,將可擔任前沿偵蒐、電子攻擊/防護、通訊中繼與「忠誠僚機」攻擊分擔等多重角色,改變空戰分工與風險分攤模式。
Tactically, a fielded Vectis fleet operating in high-density teaming could perform lead ISR, electronic attack/protection, comms relay, and loyal-wingman strike roles — reshaping air-combat tasking and risk distribution among manned and unmanned assets.
📌 總結(Summary)
Vectis 是洛馬押注的下一代忠誠僚機概念,強調匿蹤、模組化與 MUM-T 協同潛力,兩年內首飛的時程意味研發進度加速。
Vectis represents Lockheed’s bet on the next-gen loyal wingman — stressing stealth, modularity and MUM-T teaming. A first-flight target within two years signals an accelerated development timeline.
儘管成本與最終採用仍有變數,其真正價值在於為有人戰機分擔高風險任務與提供作戰彈性。
Although cost and acquisition remain open questions, its true value lies in offloading high-risk tasks from crewed fighters and providing operational flexibility.
對我國觀察者而言,這再度提醒「有人-無人組合」已非概念,而是各大軍工與軍種積極推進的實戰方向;台灣在制度、通信互通與反制策略上,應提前因應此一趨勢。
For Taiwanese observers, Vectis underscores that manned-unmanned teaming is moving beyond concept to active development by major defense firms and services — prompting Taiwan to prepare doctrine, comms interoperability and counter-measures in advance.
