在美国洛矶山脉的 Fort Carson，Operation Jailbreak 将来自 9 家国防公司与陆军工程师聚集在一起，借鉴乌克兰在战场上让武器彼此「对话」的经验，解决美军长期存在的「互通性」问题。该活动在 Dan Driscoll 于罗马尼亚与德国目睹美军系统难以整合、而乌克兰人却能顺利连接武器后迅速启动；他在 24 小时内联系各家 CEO，并在数周内把数十件陆军武器运到科罗拉多。

在为期数天的 hackathon 中，团队测试了多种系统，包括不依赖 GPS 的 Tern 导航系统，以及由 Eric Schmidt 创立的 Perennial Autonomy 之 Bumblebee V2 无人机；后者本周在乌克兰对中国制 DJI Mavic 无人机取得首次空对空击杀。Driscoll 对一台由 5 家公司在 3 天内制作完成、可接入无人机与反无人机网路的机枪机器人特别印象深刻，并指出透过 Anduril 的 Lattice，工程师把感测资料整合成单一作战图像，使操作员只需 1 到 2 块萤幕而非原本更多的显示器。

Driscoll 表示，这些成果可能在 30 天内送往 Central Command，以协助对抗伊朗无人机，也可能用于世界杯球场防护，并在与中国的冲突、尤其是台湾情境中成为关键差异。他说陆军将把部分系统纳入新的类 Amazon 市场，预计 6 月公布首批加入国家，包括英国、罗马尼亚与波兰；官员们则强调，若要把这次成功转为长久成效，还需要采购流程、资金来源与更大的风险承担。

At Fort Carson in the Rocky Mountains, Operation Jailbreak brought engineers from 9 defence firms together with Army personnel to tackle the Army’s long-running interoperability problem by borrowing lessons from Ukraine, where weapons have learned to talk to each other on the battlefield. The event was launched quickly after Dan Driscoll saw, in Romania and Germany, that U.S. systems often failed to integrate while Ukrainian forces could connect their weapons effectively; he phoned CEOs within 24 hours and, within a couple of weeks, dozens of Army systems were moved to Colorado.

During the multi-day hackathon, teams tested technologies including Tern’s GPS-free navigation system and Perennial Autonomy’s Bumblebee V2 drone, founded by Eric Schmidt, which achieved its first air-to-air kill against a Chinese-made DJI Mavic drone in Ukraine earlier this week. Driscoll was especially impressed by a machine-gun-carrying robot built by 5 companies in 3 days and linked into a drone-and-counter-drone network; using Anduril’s Lattice, engineers fused sensor data into a single operational picture so operators needed only 1 or 2 screens instead of many.

Driscoll said some of the solutions could reach Central Command within 30 days to help counter Iranian drones, and could also protect World Cup stadiums and prove decisive in a China conflict, especially in a Taiwan scenario. The Army plans to add some systems to a new Amazon-like marketplace, with the first countries—including the UK, Romania and Poland—expected to be announced in June; officials said lasting success will require procurement pathways, funding streams, and a willingness to take more risk.
