美媒:中國新型水下無人機測試中 航程逾萬海里直接威脅美國西岸

Newtalk新聞 美國國防媒體《海軍新聞》(Naval News)報導,中國近期在南海測試兩款超大型水下無人機(XXLUUV),其航程達1萬海里以上,足以直接威脅美國西海岸主要港口如西雅圖、舊金山與洛杉磯,美國國防分析家警告,此舉可能改變太平洋海戰格局,讓北京擁有低風險封鎖或布雷選項。 報導指出,這些水下無人機體型堪比傳統潛艦,採用柴油電動混合推進系統,配備大型鋰鐵磷酸鹽電池組,能在水下潛航3,000海里,或透過通氣管模式航行7,000海里,總航程約1萬海里。 它們可攜帶8至12枚魚雷、海雷(如AQS003A深水雷)或小型水下無人機,並搭載拖曳式聲納陣列等先進感測器,用於情報蒐集、船艦攔截或布雷任務。 報導稱,中國人民解放軍海軍(PLAN)已秘密建造多艘此類無人機,使用浮動船塢進行測試,兩個設計目前正競爭入選,顯示此非實驗階段,而是大規模生產的前兆。 分析師薩頓(H.I. Sutton)表示,這些無人機無需保留人員空間,能將更多體積用於燃料與武器,成本雖高但具可拋棄性,適合高風險任務,如封鎖巴拿馬運河或美國西海岸航道,避免動用珍貴有人潛艦。 香港英文媒體《南華早報》(South China Morning Post,SCMP)引述美國國防刊物指出,這些無人機可作為有人潛艦的輔助,執行「地理瓶頸」伏擊,或部署於海底電纜與感測器網路周邊,威脅美國與盟國的海事通訊與監控系統。《亞洲時報》(Asia Times)分析,大型無人潛航器發展反映中國正推動水下戰力向美國本土延伸,潛在影響印度洋與太平洋戰略平衡,甚至用於反潛戰或無人機群聯動攻擊。 中國先前於2025年北京軍事閱兵展示多款水下無人機,包括AJX002布雷型與HSU100型,顯示其無人水下系統已進入實戰部署階段。 相較之下,美國海軍的波音「虎鯨」(Orca)XLUUV雖具類似概念,但體型較小、航程較短,中國此舉凸顯其在水下無人化領域的快速進展。 國防專家警告,這些無人機的靜音運作(低於90分貝)與AI自主導航能力,可能讓美軍反潛戰面臨新挑戰。延伸閱讀:下八猛藥急救八病!習近平定調三支柱宏觀政策 為「十五五」開局楊宏基觀點》戰爭靭性不是粉飾太平 期盼說真話對抗麻痺的「小橘書」美國新版國防授權法案:中共高層財富須揭露並對外公開美商務部長稱在美投資將超過2千億美元 台積電不評論:以公告為主槍案6小時後 竟還搞不清狀況! 美布朗大學慘案 校長被問現場竟答 :「我不知道」

第二波無人機標案引爆 軍工供應鏈受惠名單曝光

Newtalk新聞 展望2026 年,在地緣政治升溫、AI 建置加速與全球供應鏈重組三大趨勢交織下,國防軍工與高階科技產業成為資本支出與政策支持的核心受惠領域。國防部第二波無人機標案進入高峰期,呈現「採購量大、交期緊迫」特性,帶動廠商以聯盟方式投標,加速供應鏈分工整合。 長榮航太、中光電、雷虎與碳基等具備製造與材料優勢之廠商明顯受惠,其中碳基專注複合材料供應、亞航負責組裝與維修,合作交付銳鳶二型;同時防空飛彈需求持續擴增,全訊供應之功率放大器訂單能見度顯著提升。 在科技產業方面,AI 應用進入實質建置期,先進封裝正處於長線成長的「甜蜜點」。H200 售中爭議對整體產業影響有限,Hopper 僅占 CoWoS 產能約一成,中國相關營收比重亦低,反而突顯全球 AI 基礎建設需求的結構性成長。CoWoS 產能能見度已延伸至 2027 年,相關設備與材料供應鏈持續受惠。 ODM 產業則在 AI 伺服器出貨順暢與新平台推進下,逐步淡化關稅與傳統車用變數影響,營運重心明確轉向高毛利 AI 業務。 整體而言,2026 年將是國防自主化與 AI 科技深化落地的關鍵一年。在政策、需求與技術三力齊發下,具備關鍵製程、材料、系統整合與客戶黏著度的企業,營運動能與獲利結構可望同步升級,成為中長線布局的核心標的。 以下是國泰證期今天(15日)午盤後解析市場聚焦的產業與個股表現: 2026國防軍工展望 第二波無人機標案採購量大、交期短,廠商組隊投標。長榮航太、中光電、雷虎、碳基等受惠;碳基供應複材,亞航組裝維修,合作交付銳鳶二型。全訊供應防空飛彈功率放大器,需求龐大。 先進封裝產業 …

轟政院不副署財劃法違憲 藍黨團:賴清德別把癱瘓台南那套搬到國會

Newtalk新聞 朝野政黨圍繞《財政收支劃分法》修正案再次嚴重對立,行政院長卓榮泰針對立法院的修法提出覆議,但遭立法院否決後,傳出總統府、行政院已決定朝「政院不副署、法律不公布」方式處理。國民黨立法院黨團今(15日)召開記者會,抨擊總統賴清德、行政院長卓榮泰以違反並曲解《憲法》,呼籲賴清德,不要把當台南市長那一套不進議場癱瘓議會的戲碼搬到國會,請看看韓國前總統尹錫悅的前車之鑑,請回歸《憲法》、尊重民意。 國民黨團書記長羅智強表示,總統公布的法令,行政院長不副署,這是打臉總統,難道賴清德跟卓榮泰有仇?且依據《憲法》規定,行政院向立法院負責,《憲法》第72條規定「立法院法律案通過後,移送總統及行政院,總統應於收到後十日內公布之」,這是《憲法》義務,難道賴清德看不懂中文?「應」的意思是必須做,沒有不公布的選擇權。 羅智強再指,按照《中華民國憲法增修條文》第3條規定,行政院長對立法院三讀通過法律案可以提出覆議,覆議否決後「應」接受,同樣沒有選擇「抗議」或「不執行」立法院通過法律的憲政權力;他要提醒賴清德總統,不要把當台南市長那一套不進議場癱瘓議會的戲碼,搬到國會如法炮製。 國民黨立委吳宗憲表示,現在是國家陷入憲政危機的時刻,總統用(民進黨)便當會來否定2300萬人民的選票;國會三讀通過的法律,意圖用便當會取代國會,這個國家已經走向專制與獨裁。總統是負責國防與外交,行政院長負責內政,但經過民進黨畸形的執政下,變成「超級總統制],不僅決定國防外交,也決定內政走向。 吳宗憲指出,民進黨不斷對外放話,行政院長不副署總統公布的法律,擋下立法院三讀通過法律,包裝成「防衛民主」。但事實上,這是徹頭徹尾的謊言和違憲,刻意錯誤使用《憲法》。大法官釋字491號說明非常清楚,副署制度是總統公布法律,由行政院長簽署負責,制度設計是總統與行政院長憲政制衡關係。原來憲政制度設計,是總統與行政院長負責不同面向的國政,現在擴權解釋變成總統大權一把抓。 吳宗憲強調,副署不是行政院長的否決權,更不能作為對付立法院的武器。《憲法》已經賦予行政院長對抗立法院的武器「覆議」,卓榮泰提出8次覆議均遭立法院否決,這已經創下中華民國有史以來的紀錄,行政院長無權不副署,或副署不執行,行政院長只能提出覆議;覆議失敗,根據《中華民國憲法增修條文》規定,只能遵守立法院的決議。執政黨輸不起,想出不副署的奧步,難道行政院長一人就可以決定法律是否違憲? 吳宗憲呼籲民進黨回歸《憲法》、尊重民意,不要讓台灣追求的民主,葬送在獨裁的「皇帝」手中;也請賴清德總統不要再癱瘓憲法法庭,趕快提出大法官人選送到立法院審查;若賴清德總統、卓榮泰院長願意,非常樂意幫他們重新再上一次《憲法》、《中華民國憲法增修條文》和《兩岸人民關係條例》課程。 另就立法院長韓國瑜婉拒總統府邀約茶敘。國民黨立委洪孟楷表示,國民黨團全力支持韓國瑜不參加今天總統府的茶敘,請賴清德不要再想拉韓國瑜「背書」,台灣政治的混亂,問題就在賴清德自己。延伸閱讀:火藥案爆氣 「有人說你說謊嗎?」 顧立雄怒嗆馬文君:你啊!馬桶商炸藥標案扯到馬時期 馬英九PO「馬維拉」梗圖自嘲擬不副署財劃法 卓榮泰下午3時30分親上火線:阻止違憲行為越雷池一步 轟藍白財劃法違法違憲 賴瑞隆:支持政院用各項手段阻止執行財劃法政院擬不副署 學者:立院有三條路 但藍白只會選第四條路「靠么」
