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.
