摘要:
烏克蘭軍隊和胡塞武裝組織有相似之處,他們都利用商業或價格較低的無人系統和反艦飛彈,對抗比自身更強大的對手,並取得勝利。美國及其盟國應考慮採用商業無人機,提高其海軍資產的生存能力。
- 雖然烏克蘭軍隊和胡塞武裝使用低成本的無人機和飛彈攻擊來干擾敵人的進攻,但是具軍事優勢的國家也必須思考如何增強自身能力,抵禦不對稱的無人機威脅。
- 無人平台可以通過提高情報、監視、偵察、目標獲取、後勤和防護能力,來支援和增強傳統的載人平台。
- 對於預算有限的國家來說,將兼顧但昂貴的平台結合低成本但容易被攻擊的平台,是一種具有成本效益的解決方案。
- 美國海軍及其盟國可以優先考慮對抗飛彈威脅或爆炸性無人艦隊的平台,以強化反制措施和屏障能力。
- 無人水面艦隊可以配置電子戰能力,以提高機動性和生存能力。
Summary:
The Ukrainian Army and Houthis are similar in utilizing commercially available or inexpensive unmanned systems and anti-ship missiles to obtain a win over a more superior rival. The US and its allies should consider adopting commercial unmanned technologies to increase the survivability of their naval assets.
- Although the Ukrainian Army and Houthis use low-cost drones and missile attacks to disrupt their foes' attacks, militarily superior countries must consider how to enhance their capabilities and defend against asymmetric unmanned threats.
- Unmanned platforms can support and enhance legacy manned platforms by improving intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, logistics, and protection.
- Combining robust but expensive unmanned platforms with low-cost but attritable platforms is a cost-effective solution for countries with constrained budgets.
- The US Navy and its allies can prioritize platforms focusing on countermeasures and shielding capabilities from missile threats or explosive unmanned vessels.
- Unmanned surface vessels can be outfitted with electronic warfare capabilities to increase maneuverability and survivability.
