瑞典國防採購局（FMV）已與BUVI Scandinavia公司簽署合約，採購EvoLogics公司研製的Sonobot 5無人水面載具（USV），用於執行軍事水道測量與渡河支援任務。

此次合約金額約4,300萬瑞典克朗（約457萬美元），內容包括1套Sonobot 5系統、相關支援服務及操作訓練，預計於2026年秋季完成交付。此外，合約亦保留增購額外系統的選項。

Sweden has awarded BUVI Scandinavia a contract to supply an EvoLogics Sonobot 5 unmanned surface vehicle (USV) for military waterway survey operations.

The contract, valued at 43 million Swedish kronor (approximately $4.57 million), includes delivery of one Sonobot 5 system in autumn 2026, along with training and support services. The agreement also contains options for additional systems in the future.

支援浮橋架設任務　提升渡河作戰安全性

快速掌握水深、地形與水下障礙資訊

Sonobot 5未來將投入河川、溪流、運河及淺水區域等環境執行測量任務，特別是在架設浮橋或機動橋樑系統前，先行蒐集關鍵水文資訊。

透過精確測量水深、河床地形及水下障礙物分布，工兵部隊能夠更快速評估架橋位置與通行條件，大幅提升渡河作業的安全性與效率。

正式服役前，瑞典軍方將先在沿海及內陸環境進行測試與驗證，以確認系統性能符合實際作戰需求。

The Sonobot 5 will be used to survey rivers, streams, canals, and shallow-water environments before deploying pontoon bridges or floating bridge systems.

By collecting detailed information on water depth, terrain conditions, and underwater obstacles, the system enables military engineers to identify suitable crossing points and improve the safety and efficiency of bridge construction operations.

Before entering service, the platform will undergo testing and evaluation in both coastal and inland operational environments.

可快速生成海床3D模型　加速戰場決策

即時資訊支援部隊行動規劃

瑞典國防採購局（FMV）系統工程師達爾伯格（Gabriel Dalborg）表示，Sonobot 5最大的優勢之一，在於能夠於短時間內建立高精度海床與河床三維模型。

他指出，該系統可協助部隊更快速掌握地形資訊，進而提升決策效率與現地作業能力。

「透過這套系統，我們能在短時間內建立詳細的海床3D影像，進一步提升決策速度與部隊野外作業效能。」

According to Gabriel Dalborg, systems engineer at Sweden’s Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), one of Sonobot 5’s key advantages is its ability to rapidly generate detailed three-dimensional seabed imagery.

He noted that the system will significantly improve decision-making speed and enhance field operations by providing commanders and engineers with accurate environmental data.

“With this system, detailed 3D images of the seabed can be created in a short time. This will lead to more efficient and faster decision-making and improved fieldwork capabilities within the armed forces.”

Sonobot 5性能特色

單兵即可操作　具備自主與遙控模式

Sonobot 5是EvoLogics開發的輕量化模組化無人水面載具，主要針對水文測量、基礎設施檢查、環境監測以及搜救任務而設計。

其主要特點包括：

• 單人即可完成部署與操作
• 支援自主航行與遠端遙控模式
• 模組化設計，可依任務需求快速更換設備
• 適用於內陸水域與近岸海域
• 具備即時資料處理能力
• 整合人工智慧（AI）分析功能

透過機載AI系統，Sonobot 5可於任務過程中即時處理測量數據，縮短資料分析時間，協助指揮官快速掌握現場情況。

The EvoLogics Sonobot 5 is a lightweight and modular unmanned surface vessel designed for hydrographic surveys, infrastructure inspections, environmental monitoring, and search-and-rescue operations.

Key features include:

• Single-operator deployment and operation
• Autonomous and remote-control operating modes
• Modular architecture for mission-specific payloads
• Suitable for inland and coastal waters
• Real-time onboard data processing
• AI-assisted analysis capabilities

Its onboard artificial intelligence enables immediate processing of survey data, reducing analysis time and supporting faster operational decision-making.

從俄烏戰爭經驗可見，快速渡河與機動架橋能力已成為現代陸戰的重要關鍵。瑞典採購Sonobot 5，顯示北約國家正持續強化工兵部隊數位化與無人化能力。

相較於傳統人工測量方式，無人艇可在敵火威脅或複雜水域環境下執行前沿偵測，大幅降低人員風險，同時提升測量速度與精度。未來此類小型自主水面載具，預料將成為北約工兵、兩棲作戰與後勤支援部隊的重要標準裝備之一。

Lessons from recent conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, have highlighted the importance of rapid river-crossing and bridging capabilities in modern warfare.

Sweden’s acquisition of the Sonobot 5 reflects a broader NATO trend toward digitized and unmanned engineering operations. Compared with traditional manual survey methods, unmanned surface vessels can operate in hazardous or contested waterways while reducing personnel risk and significantly improving survey speed and accuracy.

As military forces continue to modernize, compact autonomous survey platforms like Sonobot 5 are expected to become essential tools for combat engineers, amphibious units, and expeditionary logistics forces.
