美国陆军正在研发M2“布雷德利”步兵战车的替代型号，同时测试将巡飞弹部署到装甲车辆上的新方法。
The Army is developing a replacement for the M2 Bradley while testing new ways to put loitering munitions under armor.
本周，通用动力陆地系统公司在美国陆军协会年会上展出了“狼”XM30战车的八分之一比例模型。该战车正是该公司为替代M2“布雷德利”而设计的候选型号。此外，公司还展示了PERCH 2.0系统、M-SHORAD第四阶段升级方案以及F600“列奥尼达斯”系统。
General Dynamics Land Systems is showcasing a 1/8 model of the Wolf XM30, the company’s candidate to replace the M2 Bradley, along with PERCH 2.0, M-SHORAD Increment 4 and the F600 Leonidas at the Association of the United States Army’s annual meeting this week.
“狼”XM30战车是参与陆军XM30项目的两款竞标车型之一；另一款竞标车型为美国莱茵金属公司研发的“猞猁”XM30战车，后者已于今年9月向陆军交付了首辆原型车。
The Wolf is one of two vehicles competing in the Army’s XM30 program, with American Rheinmetall delivering its first Lynx XM30 prototype to the Army in September.
通用动力陆地系统公司负责美国业务拓展的主管、退役陆军军官斯科特·泰勒向《军事时报》表示，目前“布雷德利”战车在承载额外功能与重量方面的能力已接近极限。
Retired Army officer Scott Taylor, General Dynamics Land Systems’ director of U.S. growth, told Military Times that the Bradley has reached the limits of its ability to accommodate additional capabilities and weight.
泰勒指出，“狼”XM30的设计旨在提升载重量，同时增强作战能力、杀伤力及生存能力。通用动力陆地系统公司已于今年8月向陆军交付了首辆“狼”XM30原型车。
The Wolf is designed with greater capacity in mind, while improving fightability, lethality and survivability, Taylor said. General Dynamics Land Systems delivered its first Wolf prototype to the Army in August.
PERCH 2.0系统则能让M1A2“艾布拉姆斯”主战坦克及“斯特赖克”装甲车在乘员身处装甲防护下的状态下发射“弹簧刀300”巡飞弹。
PERCH 2.0 allows M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks and Stryker vehicles to launch Switchblade 300 loitering munitions while keeping operators under armor.
目前，一套PERCH 2.0原型系统已交付陆军用于试验，另外三套也即将交付。泰勒称，隶属于“雷霆之马”第一作战旅第12骑兵团第二营的士兵们目前正在德克萨斯州的胡德堡基地对该原型系统进行测试。
One PERCH 2.0 prototype has been provided to the Army for experimentation, with three more on the way. Soldiers with 2nd Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, known as “Thunder Horse,” are currently testing the prototype at Fort Hood, Texas, Taylor noted.
泰勒还介绍称，这套系统是在PERCH 1.0系统的基础上开发而来。2025年的一次会议上，陆军高层讨论了从乌克兰战场获得的经验，随后通用动力陆地系统公司在不到四个月的时间里便研发出了PERCH 1.0系统。此后，第一骑兵师的士兵们在胡德堡基地对该系统进行了测试，并提出了改进意见，促使系统在弹药装载流程、空间利用方式以及与坦克装填手显示屏的整合方面得到优化。
The system grew out of General Dynamics Land Systems’ development of PERCH 1.0, which the company developed in less than four months after senior Army leaders discussed observations from the war in Ukraine during a 2025 event, Taylor said. Soldiers with the 1st Cavalry Division then tested the system at Fort Hood and provided feedback that led to changes in loading procedures, use of space and integration with the tank’s loader display.
根据泰勒的说法，陆军最初尝试了Switchblade 600，随后要求公司将重点转向更小型的Switchblade 300。通用动力陆地系统公司在陆军根据艾布拉姆斯项目办公室订购三个额外原型机之前，一直利用自身独立研发资金推进PERCH 2.0的开发。
The Army initially experimented with Switchblade 600 before asking the company to focus on the smaller Switchblade 300, according to Taylor. General Dynamics Land Systems continued developing PERCH 2.0 with its own independent research and development funding before the Army contracted for three additional prototypes under the Abrams program office.
泰勒解释称，陆军将在实验结束后评估该设计，并可能根据结果选择竞争该能力或直接采购。
The Army will evaluate the design after the experimentation and could compete the capability or purchase it, depending on the results, Taylor explained.
“从许多方面来看，那里的战争已经演变为消耗战，而这并不是美军陆军、海军陆战队或我们许多盟友的作战方式，”泰勒说。
“In many ways, it’s become attrition-based warfare over there, and that’s not the way the U.S. Army or the U.S. Marine Corps or many of our allies fight,” Taylor said.
在AUSA展会现场还展出了M-SHORAD增量4型，这是一种平台无关的防空系统，以自动装卸设备停靠装置（SLED）为核心，可安装在不同车辆上。公司M-SHORAD增量4型项目经理查尔斯·伍迪对《军事时报》表示，该系统的设计部分目的是减轻执行防空和反无人机系统任务的士兵的认知负担。
Also on the AUSA floor is the M-SHORAD Increment 4, a platform-agnostic air-defense system built around a Self-Loading Equipment Dock, or SLED, that can be mounted on different vehicles. Charles Woody, the company’s program manager for M-SHORAD Increment 4, told Military Times that the system is designed in part to reduce the cognitive burden on soldiers conducting air-defense and counter-UAS missions.
该配置包括一挺7.62毫米机枪、一个情报监视与侦察无人机、一种徘徊弹药以及一个反无人机系统。
The configuration includes a 7.62mm machine gun, an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance drone, a loitering munition and a counter-drone system.
F600利奥尼达斯结合了埃皮鲁斯公司用于击毁无人机的高功率微波技术，并基于一款经过军用改装的福特F-600商用底盘。陆军预计将使用原型机来确定该能力在其未来防空规划中的定位。
The F600 Leonidas combines Epirus’ high-powered microwave technology for defeating drones with a commercially based Ford F-600 chassis modified for military use. The Army is expected to use a prototype to determine where the capability fits in its future air-defense plans.
