隨著俄烏戰爭持續改變現代戰場，無人機威脅已成為北約最頭痛的新挑戰之一。如今，位於黑海前線的羅馬尼亞，正式加入美國主導的「反無人機市場平台（Counter-UAS Marketplace）」，成為全球第二個獲得即時存取權限的國家。  

根據美國陸軍與羅馬尼亞國防部公布的資訊，這項合作將讓羅馬尼亞能快速接觸超過1600種反無人機（C-UAS）解決方案，包括攔截無人機、電子干擾設備、雷達感測器與AI目標辨識系統。  

這套平台由美國五角大廈旗下的「聯合跨部門特遣隊401（JIATF-401）」管理，目的就是加速美軍與盟友取得最新反無人機技術，避免傳統軍購流程太慢，跟不上現代戰場上無人機快速演變的速度。  

羅馬尼亞近年因緊鄰烏克蘭戰場，多次遭遇俄羅斯無人機殘骸墜入領土，甚至造成建築受損與邊境警戒升高。北約也越來越擔憂，俄軍長程自殺無人機可能外溢至更多盟國領空。  

近期，羅馬尼亞更測試由美國 Project Eagle 公司開發、搭載 AI 的「Merops」反無人機系統。這種攔截無人機可透過AI自主飛行與追蹤敵方目標，被視為未來低成本防空的重要方向。  

美國方面表示，未來希望將這套反無人機市場平台擴大到25個盟友國家，建立北約共同的無人機防禦生態系。  

對歐洲而言，這也代表戰爭模式正在快速改變。過去需要昂貴飛彈系統攔截的威脅，如今可能改由大量低成本AI無人機負責應對。

三個觀察重點

1️⃣ 北約開始全面進入「無人機防空時代」

俄烏戰爭證明，小型無人機已能改變戰場。歐洲國家正加速建立低成本、快速量產的反無人機防禦體系。

2️⃣ AI將成為未來防空核心

從偵測、辨識到攔截，AI正在逐步取代傳統人工操作。未來空防不只是飛彈，更是「AI對AI」的戰爭。

3️⃣ 台灣同樣面臨相似挑戰

面對大量無人機與灰色地帶威脅，台灣未來可能也需要建立類似「低成本大量攔截」系統，而非只依靠昂貴防空飛彈。

Romania Joins U.S. Counter-Drone Network as NATO Accelerates AI Air Defense Strategy

Romania has officially joined the U.S.-led Counter-UAS Marketplace, becoming only the second country in the world to gain real-time access to America’s rapidly expanding anti-drone ecosystem. 

The move comes as NATO countries race to adapt to the growing threat posed by drones following lessons learned from the Russia-Ukraine war.

Under the agreement, Romania will gain access to more than 1,600 counter-drone solutions, including interceptor drones, radar systems, electronic warfare tools, and AI-powered targeting technologies. 

The platform is managed by the Pentagon’s Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401), established to accelerate deployment of counter-drone capabilities for both the U.S. military and allied nations. 

Romania has become increasingly vulnerable to spillover from the war in Ukraine, with Russian drone fragments repeatedly entering Romanian territory near the Black Sea region. 

The country recently tested the AI-powered “Merops” interceptor drone system developed by U.S.-based Project Eagle, which uses autonomous targeting and low-cost drone interception tactics. 

The U.S. Army said it hopes to expand the Counter-UAS Marketplace to as many as 25 allied countries in the near future, creating a shared NATO drone-defense ecosystem. 

Three Key Observations

1️⃣ NATO is rapidly entering the “Drone Defense Era”

The Ukraine war has demonstrated how small drones can reshape warfare, pushing European countries to build scalable and affordable anti-drone networks.

2️⃣ AI is becoming the future of air defense

Artificial intelligence is increasingly handling drone detection, tracking, and interception, shifting air warfare toward AI-versus-AI combat environments.

3️⃣ Taiwan faces similar security challenges

Taiwan may also need large-scale, low-cost counter-drone systems in the future instead of relying solely on expensive missile-based air defense solutions.
