国防部周一宣布，已与BAE系统公司签署框架协议，每年最多可采购25,000套先进精确杀伤武器系统（APKWS）制导套件，协议期限最长可达七年。
The Defense Department has signed a framework agreement with BAE Systems to buy up to 25,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, or APKWS, guidance kits a year for as long as seven years, the department announced Monday.
APKWS套件可将未制导的2.75英寸火箭转化为激光制导弹药。四军均已装备该武器，且该武器已成为击落无人机的更廉价替代方案，可替代空对空导弹。
APKWS kits convert unguided 2.75-inch rockets into laser-guided munitions. All four services field them, and the weapon has become a cheaper alternative to air-to-air missiles for shooting down drones.
国防部表示，该采购仍需国会批准并拨款。BAE系统公司称，将在双方协商多年期合同期间提升产能。双方均未公布该协议的费用。
Congress still has to approve and fund the buy, the department said. BAE said it will increase production while the two sides work out a multiyear contract. Neither side announced the deal’s cost.
框架协议还规定了一条提升产能至每年3.5万套套件以供美国盟友使用的路径。国防部称，随着伙伴国家通过对外军售计划正式申请套件，该增产能力将逐步投入使用。
The framework also outlines a path to increase output to 35,000 kits a year for U.S. allies. The department said that added capacity will come online as partner nations formally request kits through the Foreign Military Sales program.
“通过锁定多年需求，此协议使生产线保持满负荷运行，为我军提供拦截弹药库存，并从纳税人角度改变成本计算方式，”国防部采购与后勤副部长迈克尔·达菲在公告中表示。
“By securing multi-year demand, this agreement keeps production lines running at capacity, provides our forces with interceptor inventory, and flips the cost calculus in the taxpayer’s favor,” Michael Duffey, the Pentagon’s undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment, said in the announcement.
BAE系统公司在新罕布什尔州哈德逊和得克萨斯州奥斯汀生产该套件。该公司曾在2月表示，已交付第10万套套件。
BAE, which builds the kits in Hudson, New Hampshire, and Austin, Texas, said in February that it had delivered its 100,000th kit.
此框架协议中的25,000套数字与BAE此前公布的产能相符。一名公司官员在2023年表示，APKWS已进入全速生产状态，且产能尚有提升至每年2.5万套的空间。
The 25,000 figure in this framework agreement matches capacity BAE has cited before. A company official said in 2023 that APKWS was in full-rate production with room to grow to 25,000 units a year.
“APKWS能够以规模化方式提供经过验证、可靠且经济的精确打击能力，以应对不断演变的威胁，确保我们的 warfighters 保持决定性优势，”BAE系统公司公司总裁兼首席执行官汤姆·阿森诺尔特表示。
“APKWS delivers proven, reliable and affordable precision at scale to counter evolving threats and ensure our warfighters maintain a decisive advantage,” said Tom Arseneault, president and CEO of BAE Systems Inc.
海军与BAE系统公司于2025年8月签署的当前五年期APKWS合同价值最高可达17.4亿美元。该合同涵盖海军、陆军及外国客户最多5.5万套套件，工作预计将于2031年12月前完成。
The Navy’s current five-year APKWS contract with BAE, awarded in August 2025, is worth up to $1.74 billion. It covers up to 55,000 kits for the Navy, the Army and foreign customers, with work expected to be completed by December 2031.
在盟国买家中，沙特阿拉伯于7月获得美国国务院批准，可能采购价值19.6亿美元的套装，其中包括最多2万套APKWS制导套件，空对空和空对地版本各占一半。意大利也在考虑采购5031套用于反无人机防御的套件。
Among allied buyers, Saudi Arabia won State Department approval in July for a possible $1.96 billion package that includes up to 20,000 APKWS kits, split evenly between air-to-air and air-to-ground versions. Italy is also weighing a buy of 5,031 kits for counter-drone defense.
APKWS协议是五角大楼今年签署的一系列框架协议中的最新一项，旨在提升弹药产能。
The APKWS agreement is the latest in a series of framework deals the Pentagon has signed this year to boost munitions production.
1月，洛克希德·马丁公司同意将爱国者先进能力-3导弹段增强型（即PAC-3 MSE）拦截弹的产能提高超过三倍。
In January, Lockheed Martin agreed to more than triple production of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement, or PAC-3 MSE, interceptor.
3月，BAE系统和洛克希德·马丁公司同意将末段高空区域防御（即THAAD）拦截弹的制导头产能提高四倍。另一份于1月签署的THAAD框架协议促成了6月份价值超过350亿美元的拦截弹本身的合同。
In March, BAE and Lockheed agreed to quadruple production of seekers for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, interceptor. A separate THAAD framework signed in January led to a June contract worth more than $35 billion for the interceptors themselves.
