美国空军将提升无人机自主性视为倍增战力、赢得潜在大国冲突的重要手段,因此着手发展以协同作战飞机为代表的自主协同平台。为研究美国空军协同作战飞机最新进展和应用情况,根据自主无人机的特点按照低成本无人机平台、机载自主系统和协同组网技术的分类梳理了低成本可损耗飞机技术、机外传感站、“天空博格人”、空战演进、“毒液”工程和“金帐汗国”等项目研究情况。结合了披露的美国空军演习和兵棋推演信息,对协同作战飞机夺取空中优势、空中防御和战术对敌防空压制这3种典型应用模式中的作用以及对未来潜在大国冲突中空战的影响进行了前瞻性分析。协同作战飞机的大批量服役将产生颠覆性影响,具体体现为催生新的空战模式、改变战场平衡,以及使传统防空手段面临严峻挑战。
Abstract:Enhancing the autonomy of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) is regarded as an important means of multiplying combat power and winning the potential great power conflict by the United States Air Force(USAF). Therefore, the USAF has developd autonomous collaborative platforms, a representative model of which is the Collaborative Combat Aircraft(CCA). In order to study the latest development and application of CCA, relevant projects including Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology, Offboard Sensing Station, Skyborg,Air Combat Evolution, Project "VENOM" and Golden Horde are researched and organized into three groups based on the characteristics of autonomous UAVs, namely, low cost UAV platforms, on-board autonomous systems and collaborative networking technologies. A forward-looking analysis of three typical application modes of CCA(air dominance, airborne defense and tactical SEAD) and their impacts on future air combat in a potential great power conflict is provided based on military exercises and wargames conducted by the USAF.The large-scale deployment of CCA is about to exert disruptive effects, emboding in new air combat modes,changing battlefield imbalances and severing challenges to legacy air defense measures.
