「鳳凰」無人偵察機首度部署北極圈前線基地

Phoenix Drone Deploys to Nordic Forward Base for the First Time

北約盟軍空軍司令部（AIRCOM）宣布，自6月8日起展開「蘭斯坦之旗26」（Ramstein Flag 26）大型空戰演習，而北約情監偵部隊（NATO Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Force, NISRF）所屬RQ-4D「鳳凰」（Phoenix）高空長航時無人偵察機，也於5月下旬首度進駐挪威厄蘭（Ørland）空軍基地，為演習預作準備。
NATO Allied Air Command (AIRCOM) announced that the Ramstein Flag 26 air exercise will begin on June 8, while a NATO Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Force (NISRF) RQ-4D Phoenix drone deployed to Ørland Air Base in Norway for the first time in late May in preparation for the exercise.

此次部署不僅是RQ-4D首次在挪威執行任務，也代表北約正加速驗證「彈性戰鬥部署」（Agile Combat Employment, ACE）概念。
The deployment marks the first operational mission of the RQ-4D in Norway and serves as a significant test of NATO’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) concept.

驗證ACE作戰模式　強化北約北翼防衛

Testing ACE Concept to Strengthen NATO’s Northern Flank

皇家挪威空軍表示，該架RQ-4D於5月21日飛抵厄蘭基地後，立即展開在挪威領空的首次任務飛行。
The Royal Norwegian Air Force stated that the RQ-4D arrived at Ørland Air Base on May 21 and quickly conducted its first mission within Norwegian airspace.

北約希望透過這類遠距部署，驗證無人偵察機可自不同盟國基地起飛執行任務，而不必完全依賴固定駐地。
NATO aims to demonstrate that surveillance drones can operate from multiple allied bases rather than relying solely on permanent home stations.

此舉符合ACE強調的分散部署、快速轉場與提高戰場生存力理念。
This aligns with ACE principles emphasizing dispersed operations, rapid relocation, and improved survivability in contested environments.

「鳳凰」源自全球鷹　具34小時滯空能力

Phoenix Based on Global Hawk With 34-Hour Endurance

RQ-4D「鳳凰」是以諾斯洛普格魯曼（Northrop Grumman）RQ-4「全球鷹」（Global Hawk）高空長航時無人機為基礎所發展的北約專屬版本。
The RQ-4D Phoenix is NATO’s customized version of the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk high-altitude long-endurance UAV.

該機擁有超過2.2萬公里航程與長達34小時滯空能力，可對大範圍區域進行情監偵（ISR）任務。
The aircraft offers a range exceeding 22,000 kilometers and endurance of up to 34 hours, making it highly effective for wide-area intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations.

NISRF則由北約各會員國共同派遣官兵組成，負責操作與維持這支跨國無人偵察機部隊。
The NISRF is staffed by personnel from multiple NATO member states, operating and sustaining this multinational ISR fleet.

提前培訓挪威官兵　提升聯合作戰互通性

NATO Conducted Training to Improve Interoperability

為確保此次部署順利進行，NISRF在RQ-4D抵達前已先派遣技術與作業人員前往厄蘭基地，培訓挪威空軍官兵。
To ensure a smooth deployment, NISRF personnel were sent to Ørland in advance to train Norwegian Air Force personnel on operational and support procedures.

北約認為，提升各盟國之間的作業互通性，是未來高強度聯合作戰的重要基礎。
NATO views interoperability among allied nations as a critical requirement for future high-intensity coalition operations.

此次也是RQ-4D第三次自駐地——位於義大利西西里島的Sigonella Air Base進行遠距部署任務。
This also marks the third long-range deployment from the drone’s home station at Sigonella Air Base.

將參與「蘭斯坦之旗26」　與戰機協同作戰

Set to Participate in Ramstein Flag 26 Alongside Fighter Aircraft

瑞典國防部表示，RQ-4D接下來將投入於瑞典、芬蘭、挪威與丹麥舉行的Ramstein Flag 26空戰聯演。
Sweden’s Ministry of Defence stated that the RQ-4D will participate in the upcoming Ramstein Flag 26 multinational air exercise involving Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark.

演習期間，RQ-4D將與各國有人戰機協同運作，提供即時情資、目標監視與戰場態勢感知支援。
During the exercise, the drone will work alongside manned fighter aircraft, providing real-time intelligence, surveillance, and battlefield awareness.

分析指出，在俄烏戰爭持續及北歐安全局勢緊張背景下，北約正透過高端ISR平台與跨國聯合作戰演練，進一步強化北翼防衛與戰略嚇阻能力。
Analysts note that amid ongoing regional tensions and the continued war in Ukraine, NATO is using advanced ISR assets and multinational exercises to reinforce its northern defenses and strengthen deterrence capabilities.

軍事觀察

Military Insight

RQ-4D此次進駐挪威具有三項重要意義：

1. 驗證ACE分散部署能力

1. Validating Agile Combat Employment

北約正從固定基地模式轉向分散式作戰架構，以提升戰時生存能力。
NATO is shifting from fixed-base operations toward a distributed operational model to improve wartime survivability.

2. 強化北極與北大西洋監偵網路

2. Strengthening Arctic and North Atlantic ISR Coverage

挪威地理位置鄰近俄羅斯北方艦隊活動區域，具高度戰略價值。
Norway’s location near Russia’s Northern Fleet operating areas makes it strategically significant.

3. 建構跨國感測器網絡

3. Building a Multinational Sensor Network

RQ-4D與F-35、E-7預警機、衛星及地面指揮系統整合後，可形成完整的聯合作戰感知鏈。
When integrated with F-35 fighters, E-7 airborne warning aircraft, satellites, and ground command systems, the RQ-4D becomes part of a comprehensive joint battlespace awareness network.

這也反映當前空戰已從單一平台競爭，逐步轉向「感測器＋資料鏈＋網路化作戰」的新世代作戰模式。
This reflects the broader transformation of modern air warfare from platform-centric competition toward sensor-driven, network-enabled combat operations.
