陆军最近结束了一项黑客行动,该行动要求国防公司相互入侵对方的网络,并让其自主机器进行通信。

The Army recently wrapped up a hacking initiative that asked defense companies to break into each other’s networks and allow their autonomous machines to communicate.

“越狱行动”始于5月,于8月下旬结束,期间举办了两场重大活动,将承包商、作战部队和陆军技术专家聚集在一起,以加速无人战术网络的未来发展。

Operation Jailbreak, which began in May and concluded in late August, staged two major events that brought contractors, operational units and Army technical experts together to fast-track the future of unmanned tactical networks.

陆军在最终行动结束后表示:“已完成的工作拆除了长期存在的系统孤岛,证明自主平台、传感器、武器以及指挥与控制(C2)技术能够在不同供应商之间无缝交换实时数据。”

“The completed effort dismantled longstanding system silos, proving that autonomous platforms, sensors, weapons, and command-and-control (C2) technologies can exchange real-time data seamlessly across disparate vendors,” the Army said after the final initiative concluded.

首场为期三周的活动始于5月,吸引了600人和50家国防公司前往科罗拉多州的卡森堡。

The first three-week event began in May, bringing 600 people and 50 defense companies to Fort Carson, Colorado.

前陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔表示,该行动的构想源于他曾随时任美国陆军欧洲和非洲司令官克里斯托弗·多诺休上将前往德国的盟军训练基地,观察乌克兰人如何将无人机、传感器和射击平台整合到单一网络中。

Former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said the idea for the initiative came after he traveled with then-U.S. Army Europe and Africa Commander Gen. Christopher Donahue to allied training sites in Germany to observe how Ukrainians integrated drones, sensors and shooting platforms onto a single network.

德里斯科尔于8月31日辞职,原因据称是他与国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯发生了冲突。

Driscoll resigned on Aug. 31, after allegedly butting heads with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

多诺休于7月意外放弃了美国陆军欧洲和非洲司令官的职务,并于8月退役。

Donahue unexpectedly relinquished command of U.S. Army Europe and Africa in July and retired in August.

德里斯科尔和多诺休观察到乌克兰军队利用一个网络,使不同系统和技术能够在没有任何软件障碍的情况下交换数据和信息。这反过来又提升了识别和摧毁目标的能力。

Driscoll and Donahue observed Ukrainian military utilizing one network that allowed different systems and technologies to exchange data and information without any software barrier. This, in turn, sped up the ability to identify and destroy targets.

在卡森堡首场“越狱行动”结束后的30天内,陆军开始在美国中央司令部责任区内向官兵部署系统集成。

Within 30 days of the first Operation Jailbreak event at Fort Carson, the Army began fielding system integrations with service members in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.

陆军“越狱行动”首席技术官亚历克斯·米勒赞赏了技术进步,他通过描述一个涉及平民日常电源适配器的噩梦假设来阐述这一点。

Alex Miller, the Army’s chief technology officer for Operation Jailbreak, lauded the strides in technology by describing a nightmare hypothetical involving everyday power adapters for civilians.

“想象一下,如果你拥有的每件配件——灯泡、烤面包机、电视机——都有不同的连接方式,”米勒在5月28日的媒体圆桌会议上说。“你不能只是把灯泡插上;你必须去找一根特殊的电线,把它插到墙上。”米勒将这种情形比作信息孤岛的交换,解释说这给士兵施加了过大的压力,让他们充当适配器,而无人机之间的通信可能会改变这种情况。

“Imagine if every accessory you have—light bulbs, toasters, TVs—had a different way to connect,” Miller said at a May 28 media roundtable. “You couldn’t just plug the light bulb in; you had to go find a special cord to plug it into the wall.”Miller likened the scenario to the siloed information exhanges, explaining that it placed too much pressure on soldiers to act as the adapter and said communication between unmanned machines could change that.

第二次也是最后一次演习“越狱猎鹰之怒”于8月28日在佛罗里达州坦帕结束,此前从7月27日开始进行了为期几周的冲刺。70家公司使用了超过150件技术设备。

The second and final exercise, Operation Jailbreak Falcon Fury, concluded on Aug. 28 in Tampa, Florida, after a several-week sprint that began on July 27. Seventy companies utilized more than 150 pieces of technology.

主要国防承包商参与其中,包括Epirus,该公司展示了其高功率微波系统Leonidas如何能够融入一个广泛的指挥与控制网络,该网络托管其他自主系统,而Leonidas能够熔化无人机。

Major defense contractors took part, including Epirus, which showcased how its Leonidas high-powered microwave system, which melts drones, could integrate into a wide command-and-control network that hosts other autonomous systems.
