代號「迅海專案」的海軍具雷達匿蹤穿浪型雙船體的沱江艦,日前在蘇澳下水進行作戰測試的同時,沱江艦的2.0升級版、代號「迅海二階段」計劃(簡稱迅二)日前也啟動作業。
軍方人士透露,「迅海二階段」是以500噸雙船體的沱江艦為藍本,打造2000噸級的飛彈巡防艦,該型飛彈巡防艦規劃具有相列雷達、垂直發射系統以及多目標接戰的戰鬥系統,被喻為是打造「台灣神盾艦」先期測試的二級巡防艦。
軍方人士指出,因中科院研發的飛彈「垂直發射系統」,無法提高在飛彈點燃後卻無法發射及如何消防與排除飛彈的安全保證,因此海軍經過與美方2年的協商,日前已獲得美方同意,以商購方式對台輸出MK-41垂直發射系統。若一切順利,國防部將於年底前,與美國洛克希德馬汀公司進行採購MK-41垂直發射系統的合約意向書;海軍「迅二計劃」的2000噸級的飛彈巡防艦,可望成為海軍首艘裝置垂直發射系統的作戰艦。
據指出,海軍採購MK-41垂直發射系統的先期規劃經費,在2015年國防部預算中,是先編列在中科院進行研發海軍的新式的戰鬥系統「迅聯計劃」中,中科院將以5年67億多元的經費,整合海軍新式的戰鬥系統,是將中科院發展成熟的相列雷達、電戰、聲納系統以及垂直發射系統進行整合,而垂直發射系統確定選擇美方的MK-41來進行整合與實際的測試運用。
軍方人士指出,海軍迅二計劃的概念來自美國的濱海戰鬥艦(Littoral Combat Ship,LCS),LCS強調速度,可根據戰鬥任務類型靈活調整的模組空間,進行反潛、反水雷、反水面艦艇、情報、監控和偵察,可依國土防禦、海上攔截、特種作戰等不同的作戰角色而重新配置。
該名人士表示,迅二計劃打造2000噸級雙船體的飛彈巡防艦,艦上的配置有中科院自行研發的相列雷達,而因電子技術的進步,中科院將相列雷達縮小,未來會依不同任務的需求,裝上1到2面的相列雷達;至於「迅聯計劃」新式的戰鬥系統的整合,則以武進三系統中H-930 MCS全分散式模組化戰鬥系統為基礎的升級版,結合多目標接戰與飛彈垂直發射系統外,並聯結電戰反制系統與聲納系統。因此「迅聯計劃」部分功能,會先在沱江艦上進行海上測試,最後完整的新式戰鬥系統(包括垂直發射系統)的全系統測試,則在迅二原型艦出廠後進行。
飛彈以國產雄二、雄三、天劍二、天弓三為主
據指出,迅二計劃2000噸級雙船體的飛彈巡防艦,在武器的配置上,艦對艦的飛彈部分,仍是國產的雄二與雄三超音速反艦飛彈為主;在防空飛彈部分,則是配置中科院研發的天劍二艦射型以及天弓三艦射型為主。
因海軍選定MK-41垂直發射系統,中科院已實際比對過天劍二與天弓三2款艦射型飛彈,可以裝入MK-41垂直發射系統,未來先在陸上進行實彈測試成功後,才會進入海上的作戰測試評估。
據了解,未來迅二計劃2000噸級雙船體的飛彈巡防艦,將裝置1組8聯裝垂直發射系統,規劃劍二艦射型會採用海麻雀ESSM短程防空飛彈的模式,1個發射箱內可放入4枚,也就是1組8聯裝垂直發射箱可放入32枚的劍二艦射型飛彈,但未來依任務需求不同,將採用天劍二與天弓三2款艦射型飛彈的混合配置,來取代目前艦隊中的美製標準SM-1/2防空飛彈。
Much reportage in newspapers, magazines, and on the internet focuses on the need for the Taiwan to acquire more advanced military hardware. The annual reports of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission typically call for "detailed assessments" on the current and probable future strategies, force structures, capabilities and technology development.of Taiwan's military, which are then used as a basis for evaluating Taiwan's military hardware needs. The Commission also regularly calls for the US Department of State to provide reports that explain how the department's approach to diplomatic relations with Taiwan is affected by the nation's "unique status," and how these constraints and restraints impact the US' ability to carry out the Pivot to Asia strategy.
回覆刪除Advocates of military arms sales to Taiwan point to the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), claiming that this legislation authorizes such sales. However, a close examination of the Act finds that such a stance is technically incorrect -- in relation to military arms, the word "sell" is not mentioned anywhere in the TRA.
More importantly, up to the present day, the question which the US government officials and international media have totally ignored is: "Where is the legal basis for the Republic of China in Taiwan to maintain a Ministry of National Defense on Taiwanese soil, and to impose mandatory military conscription policies over the local Taiwan populace?"
This video attempts to shed some light on all relevant considerations, and comes to the conclusion that, legally speaking, it would make much more sense for the United States to take over the "national defense" needs of Taiwan directly. This could be done by establishing US military bases throughout the island, providing those bases with all types of advanced military equipment, and stationing all necessary numbers of US soldiers thereon. Does such a recommendation violate the terms of the TRA? The answer is No.
In summary, this is a video which every person interested in the USA - PRC - Taiwan triangular relationship should watch, as well as recommend to their friends, associates, teachers, professors, debating club members, and representatives in Congress.
