美方降價「勸敗」海鷹反潛直升機 海軍編列逾273億擬採購10架

海軍「神鷹3號計劃」向美採購10架MH-60R海鷹多用途反潛直升機日前定案,據指出,在美方三度將MH-60R海鷹反潛直升機調降價格後,海軍日前加速作業完成採購建案程序並送國防部審定,計劃匡列273億餘元預算從2021年起向美採購10架MH-60R海鷹反潛直升機案,該採購案包括Mk54魚雷、AGM-114地獄火飛彈等相關武器彈藥,連同訓練與相關設備和後勤支援。
10空機要價370億 海鷹直升機採購案一度擱淺
據了解,因希臘、印度陸續向美採購MH-60R海鷹反潛直升機,加上美國海軍的需求,因訂單增加使得MH-60R空機價格有調降的空間,若以2015年報價每架MH-60R的空機價格高達8千萬美元,約24億台幣來計算,光10架空機就要240億元,再加入全配反潛系統,飛彈、魚雷武器彈藥以及備份組件等相關設備,當年初步估算起碼要370億元台幣以上,才能符合未來台海作戰環境所需。
雖然海軍「神鷹3號」是在2015年海軍以汰除舊有的500MD輕型反潛直昇機並提升反潛戰力,規劃採購10架MH-60R海鷹多用途反潛直升機,但正值海軍新一代兵力的國艦國造政策開始啟動,2016年蔡英文總統執政後,全力推動潛艦國造IDS案等因素,使得MH-60R海鷹反潛直升機一直未被國防部採納,列入優先軍事裝備投資項目,其最主要的原因還是預算要高達370億元,「實在太貴了」。
MH-60R降價! 美方「勸敗」升級台灣反潛戰力
但是隨著中國人民解放軍水下戰力的提升,美方預估中國擁有核子潛艦14艘、柴電潛艦48艘,並且持續汰舊換新,預計2020年中國潛艦總數可能達69至78艘,其中80%是新式潛艦。美方與東北亞從加化空中反潛戰力,以情資分享方式,全面掌握中國解放軍的水下活動,這是美方年年遊說台灣購買MH-60R反潛直升機的主因。海軍也認為反潛戰力需提升,因而未將採購MH-60R海鷹反潛直升機案撤回,並年年向國防部爭取預算,但也不斷與美方洽談降價空間。
而MH-60R反潛直升機的降價主要還是來自訂單的增加,據了解,2019年7架MH-60R,日前印度簽約採購24架MH-60R,與美國海軍需求,再加上台灣海軍的10架,其總訂單達50架以上,因此有調降的空間。
MH-60R反潛戰力強 可嚇阻中國潛艦進犯台海
MH-60R反潛直升機的基本配備除有AN/AQS-22先進機載低頻吊放聲納系統和一個聲納浮標發射器,以及多達25個聲納浮標外,其航電系統先進是其反潛的最大利器,AN/APS-153多模雷達,逆合成孔徑雷達(ISAR)成像能力,具有自動探測和識別近/遠程潛艦潛望鏡能力;加上安裝了AN/AAS-44探測/跟蹤系統,由前視紅外(FLIR)裝置和雷射測距儀組成,能夠在微光條件下對目標區域進行監視,也是地獄火飛彈提供瞄準裝置。以及AN/AR-47飛彈告警系統、雷射預警系統、AN/ALQ-144紅外干擾器和AN/ALE-39箔條/曳光彈誘餌分發器等。
在武器方面可攜帶3枚ATK Mk 54或Mk 50魚雷,或搭載8枚AGM-114「地獄火」飛彈,以及雷射導引的APKWS系統火箭彈,與M240機槍和GAU-21型機槍用於自衛。
海軍未來汰除舊有的500MD輕型反潛直昇機後,18架經過性能提升的S-70C反潛直升機作為艦載反潛任務的主力,再依採購10架的MH-60R反潛直升機返台期程,逐一強化整體反潛作戰效益。

空機一架要8000萬美金!有沒有看錯?
應該是沒有看錯.
韓國2012年買8架MH-60R, 就要10億鎂了.

WASHINGTON, May 16, 2012 – The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress today of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Republic of Korea for eight MH-60R SEAHAWK Multi-Mission Helicopters, associated parts, equipment, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $1.0 billion.
The Government of the Republic of Korea has requested a possible sale of eight MH-60R SEAHAWK Multi-Mission Helicopters, 18 T-700 GE 401C Engines (16 installed and 2 spares), communication equipment, electronic warfare systems, support equipment, spare engine containers, spare and repair parts, tools and test equipment, technical data and publications, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated cost is $1.0 billion.
The Government of the Republic of Korea is one of the major political and economic powers in East Asia and the Western Pacific and a key partner of the United States in ensuring peace and stability in that region. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist our Korean ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability, which will contribute to an acceptable military balance in the area. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale of the MH-60R SEAHAWK helicopter will improve South Korea’s capability to meet current and future threats from enemy Anti-Surface Warfare (ASW) capabilities. The sale of these MH-60R helicopters will enhance interoperability with U.S. Naval forces, and add to the military stability of the region. Korea will have no difficulty absorbing these helicopters into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this system and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractors will be Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in Stratford, Connecticut; Lockheed Martin in Owego, New York; and General Electric in Lynn, Massachusetts. There are no offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require multiple trips to Korea involving U.S. Government or contractor representatives on a temporary basis for program and technical support, and management oversight.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.
