加速擊殺鏈　強化有人／無人協同作戰

Accelerating Kill Chain and Advancing Manned-Unmanned Teaming

United States Air Force擬採購由Teal Drones研發的小型情監偵無人機「黑寡婦」（Black Widow），並與F-35 Lightning II匿蹤戰機整合運用，以即時傳輸影像與目標數據，加速目標偵獲並縮短「擊殺鏈」。

The United States Air Force plans to procure the “Black Widow” ISR drone developed by Teal Drones and integrate it with the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter to transmit real-time video and targeting data, accelerating target acquisition and shortening the kill chain.

小型無人機共享情資　提升戰場覺知

Small Drones Enable Real-Time Intelligence Sharing

美空軍20日發布資訊需求書，規劃導入「黑寡婦」無人機，並透過整合Android Tactical Assault Kit（ATAK）系統，實現與F-35之間的即時資訊共享與更新。

On the 20th, the U.S. Air Force released a request for information to acquire the Black Widow drone, integrating it with the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) system to enable real-time data sharing with the F-35.

該系統將提供影像與目標資訊，使戰機能快速掌握戰場態勢，提升整體作戰效率。

This system will deliver live imagery and targeting data, allowing aircraft to rapidly understand battlefield conditions and improve operational efficiency.

突破複雜環境限制　重塑F-35接戰模式

Overcoming Complex Environments, Redefining F-35 Engagement

報導指出，在通訊受阻或地形複雜的戰場環境中，由地面部隊操作的小型無人機，可提供比高空資產更持久且更具戰術價值的情報。

Reports indicate that in contested communications environments or complex terrain, small drones operated by ground forces can provide more persistent and tactically valuable intelligence than high-altitude assets.

透過數據鏈整合，F-35可接收外部ISR資訊，而非僅依賴自身感測器，進一步提升目標偵測與識別效率，取得戰場優勢。

Through data integration, the F-35 can receive external ISR inputs instead of relying solely on onboard sensors, enhancing detection and identification capabilities and gaining a decisive advantage.

打造「偵攻一體」體系　推動分散式作戰

Building Integrated ISR-Strike Networks

美空軍表示，若該採購案順利推動，將大幅提升「有人／無人組合」（MUM-T）作戰效能，並推進分散式目標標定與現代擊殺網絡發展。

The U.S. Air Force stated that if the procurement proceeds, it will significantly enhance manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) and support distributed targeting and modern kill web operations.

此舉亦顯示美軍正致力整合地面部隊、小型無人機與第5代戰機，形成完整「偵察—打擊」一體化作戰鏈結。

This effort underscores the military’s push to integrate ground forces, tactical drones, and fifth-generation fighters into a unified ISR-strike network.

「黑寡婦」性能亮點　AI助力智慧作戰

Black Widow Features AI-Enabled Smart Operations

「黑寡婦」為重量僅1.63公斤的小型四軸無人機，具備約8公里航程與低噪音特性，並配備光電紅外線（EO/IR）感測器與模組化酬載能力。

The Black Widow is a lightweight quadcopter weighing 1.63 kg, with a range of about 8 kilometers, low acoustic signature, EO/IR sensors, and modular payload capability.

該機導入人工智慧技術，可自主執行搜索與目標辨識任務，並具備抗電戰干擾能力，未來亦可透過開放式架構持續升級，因應新型態戰場需求。

It incorporates AI for autonomous search and target recognition, offers resilience against electronic warfare, and can be upgraded via an open architecture to adapt to evolving battlefield demands.
