日本政府正悄悄加速空軍現代化。根據軍事網站《Army Recognition》報導,**日本速霸陸公司(SUBARU)已於7月9日正式向防衛省交付一架原型實驗無人機,展開關鍵技術驗證,朝向打造日本版「忠誠僚機」(Loyal Wingman)**邁出實質一步。
On July 9, Subaru delivered an experimental UAV to Japan’s Ministry of Defense to validate autonomy and remote control systems — part of Japan’s push to develop a homegrown loyal wingman platform.
這項計畫隸屬**日本防衛裝備廳(ATLA)**推動的「有人/無人組合技術(MUM-T)」研究構想,自2020年啟動,並於2023年8月與速霸陸簽署技術支援協議,委託設計、製造與試飛此原型機。
The MUM-T (Manned-Unmanned Teaming) initiative was launched in 2020 and seeks to explore tactical cooperation between piloted and autonomous aircraft.
本次交付的無人機主要針對兩項技術進行測試:一是動態戰場中的自主任務調整能力,二是由飛行員遠距指揮無人機的控制介面可靠性,為實現人機協同作戰奠定基礎。
The UAV’s trials will focus on two areas: autonomous mission adaptation in dynamic environments, and the reliability of human-controlled interfaces for remote command during operations.
根據防衛裝備廳規劃,日本的MUM-T技術採階段式開發策略,此次原型為第一階段成果,專注自主飛行與遙控穩定性。下一階段將挑戰「一人多機協同指揮」的戰術應用,最終目標則是完全自主空戰執行能力。
The project is structured in phases — starting with basic autonomy and remote operation, then progressing to single-pilot control of multiple drones, with the end goal of fully autonomous combat-ready UAVs.
速霸陸雖以汽車品牌聞名,其前身「富士重工」實為日本長年參與軍用飛機與無人機研發的核心廠商,具備超過50年的航空工程經驗。
While known globally for cars, Subaru (formerly Fuji Heavy Industries) has deep aerospace roots, with over 50 years of experience in fixed-wing aircraft and unmanned systems development.
公司曾主導輕型教練機研製,也參與早期GPS導引無人載具開發。2023年,速霸陸還協助政府研訂符合ISO標準的無人機防撞協定,展現其對自主安全技術的長期投入。
In 2023, Subaru played a key role in formulating Japan’s drone collision avoidance protocol in line with ISO standards — demonstrating its commitment to autonomy and airspace safety.
此舉代表日本正從「國際採購」轉向「本土創新」,尋求在忠誠僚機領域建立自主戰力,並回應區域戰略環境中中、俄無人機迅速進化的威脅挑戰。
Japan’s loyal wingman project signals a strategic pivot from foreign acquisition to domestic innovation — responding to the accelerating drone advancements of regional actors like China and Russia.
