聖若澤杜斯坎普斯訊（2025/11/11）——巴西航太公司 Embraer 宣布，A-29 Super Tucano 將把「反無人機（Counter-UAS）」納入任務清單。新構想（CONOPS）在不更動機體的前提下，以既有感測器與武器為主：

• 資料鏈接收/指引初始座標與目標指示；
• EO/IR 光電紅外進行雷射追蹤與標定；
• 雷射導引火箭與機翼掛載 .50 機槍負責擊殺小/中型 UAS。

Embraer 指出，現役與未來 A-29 用戶都可快速把反無人機任務加入作戰樣板，應對近年戰場上「低成本無人機飽和攻擊」與「商規改軍用」威脅。Embraer 國防暨安全事業群總裁 Bosco da Costa Junior 表示，A-29 以效費比與多任務彈性見長，除近距密接支援（CAS）、武裝偵察、進階訓練外，現在更能「以低成本、可負擔的方式反制 UAS」。

A-29 以耐操、維保負擔低著稱，可在簡陋跑道/前進基地運作，累積60 萬小時以上飛行時數，已被22 國空軍採用，涵蓋CAS／攔截／空中巡邏／JTAC 訓練／武裝 ISR／邊境巡防／護航等。其座艙人機介面（HMI）、通資電整合與武器管理，讓使用國得以用較低生命週期成本，獲得可全天候任務輪替的中低空火力平台。

🔍 三大觀察重點

1. 「低成本反制」補位高端防空：以 A-29 的 EO/IR＋雷射導引火箭，在近程/超近程空域攔截小型 UAS，可與我方既有野戰防空與電戰干擾形成分層防護。
2. 「可負擔的全天候勤務」：對外離島與前進機場，A-29 可用簡易保障遂行反無人機、武裝巡邏與海岸線 ISR，降低昂貴戰機出動頻率。
3. 「快速導入、快訓快用」：多國實績＋成熟後勤鏈，導入時程短。對我方而言，可做為反 UAS／CAS／訓練三合一的平台評估樣本。

A-29 Super Tucano adds Counter-UAS mission for effective, affordable drone defense

São José dos Campos (Nov 11, 2025) — Embraer announced an expanded mission portfolio for the A-29 Super Tucano to counter modern Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). The new operational concept (CONOPS) leverages existing aircraft sensors and weapons, enabling both current and future A-29 operators to rapidly integrate Counter-UAS into their mission sets:

• Datalinks to receive initial target coordinates and cueing;
• EO/IR for laser tracking/designation;
• Laser-guided rockets and wing-mounted .50 cal machine guns to neutralize UAS.

According to Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO of Embraer Defense & Security, recent conflicts underscore the urgency of cost-effective anti-drone solutions. The A-29 adds Counter-UAS to an already broad mission set, including CAS, armed reconnaissance, advanced training, and more.

Renowned for ruggedness, low sustainment burden, and operations from austere/forward bases, the A-29 fleet has amassed 600,000+ flight hours and has been selected by 22 air forces. Its modern HMI avionics, weapons suite, communications, and robust airframe deliver multi-mission flexibility with low life-cycle cost.

Key Takeaways

1. Affordable layered defense: A-29’s EO/IR + laser-guided rockets provide short-range Counter-UAS, complementing higher-tier air defense and EW for layered protection.
2. Sustained presence at low cost: Ideal for austere strips and forward sites, reducing the need to launch high-end fighters for routine counter-drone patrols.
3. Fast fielding, mature logistics: In-service worldwide, allowing rapid adoption as a Counter-UAS/CAS/trainer tri-use platform.
