通用原子集團（General Atomics）證實，旗下電磁系統公司（GA-EMS）已獲得美國國防承包商萊多斯（Leidos）授予的多年期分包合約，將生產「通用極音速滑翔體」（Common Hypersonic Glide Body, CHGB）所需的關鍵組件，供美國陸軍「暗鷹」（Dark Eagle）與海軍「傳統迅速打擊」（Conventional Prompt Strike, CPS）兩款極音速武器使用。這項合約將延續相關武器系統的供應鏈與生產能量，支援美軍長程極音速打擊能力發展。

General Atomics has confirmed that its Electromagnetic Systems Group (GA-EMS) has secured a multi-year subcontract from U.S. defense contractor Leidos to manufacture critical components for the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB). The components will support the U.S. Army’s Dark Eagle weapon system and the U.S. Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) program. The contract is expected to sustain the production base and supply chain for these advanced weapons, supporting the U.S. military’s long-range hypersonic strike capabilities.

合約延續至2031年　涵蓋精密金屬與控制模組組件

Contract Runs Through 2031, Covering Precision Metal Parts and Control Module Components

根據合約內容，GA-EMS將在2031年前生產精密加工金屬零組件、結構組件，以及供「升降副翼控制模組」（Elevon Control Module）與CHGB使用的線纜組件。相關零件完成後，將整合至陸軍「暗鷹」及海軍CPS所採用的CHGB，支援兩款武器系統後續生產與部署。

Under the agreement, GA-EMS will manufacture precision-machined metal parts, structural components, and cable assemblies for the Elevon Control Module and CHGB through 2031. The components will be incorporated into the glide bodies used by the Army’s Dark Eagle and the Navy’s CPS systems, supporting continued production and deployment of both weapon programs.

通用原子表示，公司將運用既有的美國本土生產設施與專業技術人員，依照合約時程交付相關組件。CHGB必須承受極音速飛行期間的嚴苛環境，包括重返大氣層時產生的高溫，同時在超過5馬赫的速度下維持飛行控制能力，並透過改變飛行軌跡增加對手偵測與攔截的難度。

General Atomics said it will leverage its existing U.S.-based manufacturing facilities and skilled workforce to deliver the components according to schedule. The CHGB is designed to withstand demanding hypersonic flight conditions, including the intense heat generated during atmospheric reentry, while maintaining flight control at speeds exceeding Mach 5. Its ability to maneuver during flight is intended to make detection and interception more difficult for adversaries.

共用滑翔體設計　加速陸海軍極音速武器部署

Shared Glide Body Design Supports Army and Navy Hypersonic Programs

「暗鷹」與「傳統迅速打擊」是美軍新一代極音速遠程打擊武器，兩者採用高度共通化的彈體與極音速滑翔載具設計，透過共用關鍵技術與組件，降低重複研發需求，並有助縮短設計與生產時程，加速武器交付及部隊部署。

Dark Eagle and Conventional Prompt Strike are part of the U.S. military’s next-generation long-range hypersonic strike capabilities. Both systems use a highly commonized design featuring shared elements of the missile architecture and hypersonic glide vehicle. This approach is intended to reduce duplicated development efforts, shorten design and production timelines, and accelerate delivery and deployment.

在陸軍方面，「暗鷹」主要由「多領域特遣隊」（Multi-Domain Task Force, MDTF）接裝與操作，作為美軍遠程精準打擊能力的重要組成。海軍則規劃由朱瓦特級（Zumwalt-class）驅逐艦搭載CPS系統，其中「朱瓦特號」（USS Zumwalt, DDG 1000）與「詹森號」（USS Lyndon B. Johnson, DDG 1002）已陸續進行相關改裝，未來將成為海軍極音速打擊能力的重要海上平台。

For the Army, Dark Eagle is being fielded to Multi-Domain Task Forces (MDTFs), forming a key element of the service’s long-range precision strike capability. The Navy plans to deploy CPS aboard Zumwalt-class destroyers. The USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002) have been undergoing modifications to accommodate the system and are expected to serve as important naval platforms for future hypersonic strike operations.

供應鏈穩定成關鍵　支撐美軍長程打擊戰力

Supply Chain Stability Key to Sustaining U.S. Long-Range Strike Capabilities

此次GA-EMS取得的多年期合約，涵蓋CHGB及其控制系統所需的精密加工、結構與線纜組件，顯示美軍在推動極音速武器發展之際，也持續強化關鍵零組件的本土製造與供應能力。隨著「暗鷹」與海軍CPS逐步推進生產及部署，穩定的零組件供應將是維持系統交付進度、擴大作戰部署的重要環節。

The multi-year GA-EMS subcontract covers precision-machined parts, structural components, and cable assemblies required for the CHGB and its control systems. It highlights continued U.S. efforts to strengthen domestic manufacturing and supply capacity for critical components as hypersonic weapons programs advance. As Dark Eagle and Navy CPS move toward further production and deployment, a reliable component supply chain will be essential to maintaining delivery schedules and expanding operational capabilities.
