美國國防部 Defense Innovation Unit(DIU)與 United States Navy 已選定國防科技公司 Anduril Industries,進入「海上自主戰鬥平臺計畫」(CAMP)下一階段,推動未來海上作戰在「有人/無人組合」(MUM-T)、自主情監偵與打擊任務上的整體效能。
The U.S. DIU and the United States Navy have selected Anduril Industries for the next phase of the CAMP program, aimed at advancing MUM-T, autonomous ISR and strike capabilities for future maritime operations.
以 Dive-XL 概念載具切入 XL-AUV 發展
CAMP 計畫於去年發布招標,鎖定新一代「超大型自主水下無人載具」(XL-AUV)發展。Anduril 在獲得競標合約四個月後,提出以 Dive-XL 為核心的概念載具設計。
The CAMP program issued its solicitation last year, targeting the development of next-generation Extra-Large Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (XL-AUVs). Four months after winning the contract, Anduril introduced a concept platform based on its Dive-XL design.
該設計延續先前為澳洲開發的 Ghost Shark XL-AUV 經驗。Dive-XL 已在測試任務中累積超過 4.2 萬公里航程 與 6,700 小時運行時數,展現高度成熟度與可靠性,成為進入下一階段的重要關鍵。
The concept builds on Anduril’s experience from the Ghost Shark XL-AUV program developed for Australia. The Dive-XL has accumulated over 42,000 kilometers of travel and more than 6,700 operational hours, demonstrating maturity and reliability that supported its selection for the next phase.
高自主性與長航程為核心需求
CAMP 計畫的核心目標,是發展一款可在無衛星導航環境下執行任務的自主水下載具,並具備長航程與高度任務彈性。
At the core of the CAMP program is the development of an autonomous underwater platform capable of operating without satellite navigation, while delivering extended range and mission flexibility.
根據規格要求,該型 XL-AUV 需具備:
-
超過 1000 海里航程(約 1852 公里)
-
最大潛深 200 公尺
-
水下通訊能力
-
多尺寸酬載投放能力
-
可使用標準商用貨櫃運輸
Program requirements include a range exceeding 1,000 nautical miles, a maximum operating depth of 200 meters, underwater communications capability, multi-payload deployment options, and compatibility with standard commercial container transport systems.
而 Dive-XL 不僅達標,其 全電動推進系統航程超過 2000 海里,顯著優於門檻需求,成為競標脫穎而出的關鍵優勢之一。
Dive-XL not only meets these requirements but exceeds them, offering a range of more than 2,000 nautical miles through its fully electric propulsion system, a key differentiator in the selection process.
無人化與人機協同成為未來海戰核心
Anduril 海事系統副主任表示,當前各國仍高度依賴高端載人平台執行水下任務,但未來戰場將朝向大規模無人化發展。
An Anduril maritime systems executive noted that while many nations still rely on advanced crewed platforms for underwater missions, future conflicts will require a significant expansion of autonomous systems.
隨著潛在對手快速擴張,單靠傳統高價值裝備已難以維持優勢,必須透過大量無人載具與有人平台協同運作,發揮「有人/無人組合」戰力。
As potential adversaries expand their capabilities, relying solely on high-end crewed systems will be insufficient. Instead, scalable fleets of unmanned systems working alongside manned assets will be essential to achieving operational superiority.
透過此類 XL-AUV 平台,美軍將能在未來海戰中強化情監偵覆蓋、延伸打擊距離,並降低人員風險,成為海上分散式作戰的重要節點。
XL-AUV platforms like Dive-XL are expected to enhance ISR coverage, extend strike reach and reduce risk to personnel, forming a critical component of distributed maritime operations.
