駐紮於日本沖繩的美國陸戰隊第3陸戰隊遠征軍（3rd Marine Expeditionary Force, 3rd MEF），近日在漢森營區與史瓦布營區舉行為期兩週的首屆「攻擊無人機競賽」，邀集不同軍種的頂尖無人系統操作人員同場競技，透過實作與交流，強化陸戰隊對自主系統的操作能力與戰場應用理解。

The U.S. Marine Corps’ 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force (3rd MEF), stationed in Okinawa, Japan, recently conducted its first-ever two-week “Attack Drone Competition” at Camp Hansen and Camp Schwab, bringing together elite unmanned systems operators from across the services to enhance the Marines’ proficiency in autonomous systems employment through hands-on competition and knowledge exchange.

驗證實戰化應用潛力

Assessing Operational Viability for Future Combat Use

該項競賽於本月3日至12日舉行，第3遠征軍官兵實際操作「奈洛斯弓箭手」（Neros Archer）第一人稱視角（FPV）無人機，在限定時間內針對指定目標執行模擬打擊任務，藉此驗證無人機的導航能力、快速目標獲得，以及投放精準度等關鍵作戰指標。

Held from the 3rd to the 12th of this month, the competition saw 3rd MEF Marines operate Neros Archer first-person view (FPV) drones to conduct simulated strike missions against designated targets within time constraints, validating key performance areas such as navigation, rapid target acquisition, and payload delivery accuracy.

為提升演訓真實度，競賽過程納入電子干擾、臨時任務變更等複雜情境，藉以測試操作人員在高壓與動態戰場環境下的應變能力，並作為評估該類無人系統未來投入實戰可行性的參考依據。

To increase realism, the competition incorporated electronic warfare interference and dynamic mission changes, testing operators’ adaptability under contested and high-stress conditions while providing data to assess the feasibility of future combat employment.

除陸戰隊官兵外，其他美軍軍種亦派遣其頂尖無人機操作人員參與，進一步促進跨軍種交流，並為未來聯合作戰奠定技術與戰術整合基礎。

In addition to Marine participants, elite drone operators from other U.S. military branches took part, fostering cross-service collaboration and laying groundwork for future joint operational integration.

強化訓練體系與資格認證

Strengthening Training Frameworks and Operator Certification

美國陸戰隊指出，參與競賽的官兵將取得相關操作資格認證，未來也將持續精進自主系統訓練體系，確保無人載具在精準打擊與防禦任務中，能有效支援前線部隊作戰需求。

The Marine Corps stated that participating personnel will receive operator certification, and that it will continue refining its autonomous systems training framework to ensure unmanned platforms effectively support frontline forces in both precision strike and defensive roles.

 擴大「奈洛斯弓箭手」戰場效益

Expanding the Operational Reach of Neros Archer FPV Drones

此次演訓亦證實，「奈洛斯弓箭手」FPV無人機可將部隊戰場覺知範圍擴展至約20公里，不僅提升前線單位的打擊縱深，也有助於提高生存性與整體任務執行效率，強化應對印太地區潛在安全挑戰的能力。

The exercise further demonstrated that the Neros Archer FPV drone can extend battlefield awareness out to approximately 20 kilometers, increasing the strike reach of forward units while enhancing survivability and mission effectiveness—capabilities particularly relevant to potential Indo-Pacific contingencies.

 持續測試多型小型無人機

Ongoing Evaluation of Diverse Small UAS Platforms

根據《美國海軍學會新聞網》（USNI News）報導，第3遠征軍近年亦持續測試多款小型無人機系統，例如11月於沖繩福斯特營區，完成偵察型「Skydio X2D」無人機的首次飛行測試，同時也正積極發展可遠端操控或具高度自主能力的FPV無人機。

According to USNI News, the 3rd MEF has also been evaluating various small unmanned systems, including the first flight test of the reconnaissance-focused Skydio X2D drone at Camp Foster in November, while actively developing FPV drones capable of remote control or high levels of autonomous operation.
