新西兰国防军正通过引入一系列新型多域无人系统，推进其空中、陆地与海上的作战能力。这些系统包括用于地面运输和侦察的SG400无人车、用于海上监视的SM300水面艇，以及用于空中情报搜集的SA2无人机和用于后勤支持的SA7无人机。通过与本土企业Syos Aerospace合作，新西兰旨在强化国防技术自主性，降低供应链风险，并通过全面试验来提升未来多域作战的效能与应变能力。

From Air to Sea: New Zealand Gears Up for New Multi-Domain Uncrewed Systems

New Zealand’s incoming drone lineup unifies air, land, and sea systems to deliver autonomous transport, surveillance, and logistics support.

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is exploring a new kind of squadron: a lineup of drones that operate across air, land, and sea.

For ground missions, the NZDF could deploy the SG400 uncrewed ground vehicle, a rugged 6×6 platform capable of hauling 400 kilograms (882 pounds) over 200 kilometers (124 miles).

It is primarily designed for cargo transport, but it can also support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in high-risk environments.

At sea, the SM300 could take on demanding maritime operations, assuming multiple naval roles for extended autonomous missions.

Equipped with electro-optical/infrared cameras, it can track dynamic targets while staying connected in contested environments.

The surface drone can travel up to 650 nautical miles (748 miles/1,204 kilometers) while carrying 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of mission payload.

Airborne Capabilities

In the skies, the NZDF is eyeing the SA2 aerial drone as its newest ISR solution.

Using vision-based navigation with built-in redundancy, it can remain operational even in GPS-denied areas.

The SA2 is designed for rapid deployment, capable of being transported and launched even in challenging terrain.

Finally, the SA7 unmanned aerial system could give New Zealand a compact airborne logistics tool, built to move survey, scientific, and specialized payloads into remote, hard-to-reach areas.

Marketed as a “weather-sealed” platform, the drone can lift up to 7 kilograms (15.4 pounds) of payload for around 35 minutes, even in rugged, unpredictable conditions

According to Defence Minister Judith Collins, the SA7 could also be reconfigured as a one-way effector, highlighting its potential role beyond logistics and research support.

Testing the Force

The NZDF will trial the full drone lineup to enhance its operational capabilities. Army and navy units will test supply transport, naval patrols, and reconnaissance missions.

The drones are being delivered in partnership with Kiwi developer Syos Aerospace under the country’s Defence Industry Strategy, which brings together the military and local firms to strengthen defense technology and resilience.

“We’re partnering with New Zealand businesses to ensure the Defense Force can protect our people into the future,” Collins stated.

“Having cutting-edge drone technology developed and supported by local businesses will reduce supply chain risk and strengthen our resilience — exactly what the strategy is designed for.”

从空中到海上：新西兰筹备新型多域无人系统

新西兰即将推出的无人机阵容将统一空中、陆地与海上系统，以实现自主运输、监视与后勤保障能力。新西兰国防军正在探索一种新型中队：一支可在空中、陆地与海上跨域作战的无人机编队。

对于地面任务，新西兰国防军可部署SG400无人地面载具。这是一款坚固耐用的6×6轮式平台，能够在超过200公里的距离内运输400公斤的有效载荷。

它主要设计用于货物运输，但也能够在高风险环境中支持情报、监视与侦察任务。

在海上，SM300可承担高要求的海上行动，在多种海军任务中执行长期自主任务。该装备配备光电/红外摄像机，能够在复杂环境下持续跟踪动态目标并保持连接。

这款水面无人艇可航行长达650海里，同时携带300公斤的任务载荷。

空中能力

在空中领域，新西兰国防军正考虑将SA2无人机作为其最新的情报、监视与侦察解决方案。

该无人机采用基于视觉的导航系统并具备内置冗余，即使在GPS信号拒止区域也能保持运行。

SA2专为快速部署而设计，即使在复杂地形中也能运输和发射。

最后，SA7无人机系统可为新西兰提供一款紧凑型空中后勤工具，专为将测量、科研和专业载荷运送到偏远、难以进入的地区而设计。

这款无人机被标榜为"全天候密封"平台，即使在恶劣、不可预测的条件下，也能在约35分钟内提升高达7公斤的有效载荷。

据国防部长朱迪思·柯林斯表示，SA7还可以重新配置为单向打击载具，凸显了其在后勤和研究支持之外的潜在作用。

测试力量

新西兰国防军将对整个无人机阵容进行试验，以提升其作战能力。陆军和海军部队将测试补给运输、海上巡逻和侦察任务。

这些无人机是根据新西兰的国防工业战略，与本国开发商Syos Aerospace合作交付的。该战略将军方与本地公司联合起来，以加强国防技术和应变能力。

柯林斯表示："我们正在与新西兰企业合作，以确保国防军能够在未来保护我们的人民。""由本地企业开发和支持尖端无人机技术，将降低供应链风险并增强我们的应变能力——这正是该战略的设计目标。"
