比利時海軍近日正式展開Skeldar V-200無人直升機的系統化訓練與飛行作業，象徵該型無人載具正由接裝階段，逐步邁向實際任務運用。外界普遍認為，V-200將在比利時新世代反水雷（MCM）體系中，扮演關鍵核心角色。
The Belgian Navy has recently initiated structured training and flight operations for the Skeldar V-200 unmanned helicopter, signaling the platform’s transition from induction to operational employment. Observers widely assess the V-200 as a central asset in Belgium’s next-generation mine countermeasures (MCM) architecture.

根據訓練規劃，比利時海軍現階段重點放在培養操作人員熟稔無人直升機飛行與任務管理流程，同步建立完整的作業程序、技術命令與教範體系，並透過累積實際飛行時數，逐步建構可持續運作的無人航空分隊。
At this stage, the Belgian Navy is prioritizing operator proficiency, establishing standard operating procedures, technical manuals, and training doctrine, while steadily building flight-hour experience to form a sustainable unmanned aviation capability.

待後續機體數量、感測器與任務配套逐步到位後，Skeldar V-200預計將正式部署於新一代掃雷與獵雷載臺，成為遠距反水雷行動的主要空中節點，大幅降低官兵直接進入高風險水域的需求。
Once additional airframes, sensors, and mission systems are fielded, the Skeldar V-200 is expected to deploy aboard new-generation mine warfare platforms, serving as a key aerial node for stand-off MCM operations and significantly reducing crew exposure to hazardous environments.

Skeldar V-200採用旋翼式無人直升機構型，主旋翼直徑約4.5公尺，最大機重約250公斤，具備約4小時滯空能力，可執行全人工操控任務，亦能依照預先設定的航線、高度、速度與任務模式，自主完成飛行。
The Skeldar V-200 features a rotary-wing UAV configuration with a main rotor diameter of approximately 4.5 meters and a maximum weight of around 250 kilograms, offering up to four hours of endurance and capable of both direct human control and pre-programmed autonomous flight profiles.

比利時海軍尚未對外揭露V-200實際搭載的感測器與任務酬載細節，但已證實其設計目標之一，是讓掃雷官兵能在更安全距離外執行任務，並具備偵測漂雷與水面威脅的能力，以提升整體反水雷效率與安全性。
While the Belgian Navy has not disclosed specific sensor or payload configurations, it has confirmed that the V-200 is intended to enable mine warfare crews to operate from safer stand-off distances, with the capability to detect drifting mines and surface threats to enhance overall MCM effectiveness and safety.

目前比利時海軍已接收2架Skeldar V-200，並採用原廠提供的操作與管控系統進行初期訓練；未來則將換裝比軍專屬的貨櫃化地面控制站，可部署於陸上基地，或搭載於新服役的「奧斯坦德號」（M940）等獵雷母艦。
At present, the Belgian Navy operates two Skeldar V-200 units using the manufacturer’s control systems for initial training, with plans to transition to a Belgian-specific containerized ground control station deployable ashore or aboard new mine countermeasure vessels such as the Ostend (M940).

依照建軍規劃，比利時無人直升機隊規模將在未來數年內擴充至10架，並與新型獵雷艦、無人水面載具（USV）及水下系統協同運作，逐步建構高度自動化、低人員風險的新一代反水雷作戰體系。
Under current force development plans, Belgium intends to expand its Skeldar V-200 fleet to ten aircraft in the coming years, integrating them with new minehunters, unmanned surface vessels (USVs), and underwater systems to establish a highly automated, low-risk MCM capability.
