A Chinese military journal has described the People’s Liberation Army’s latest underwater unmanned systems as “disruptive” and highlighted their intelligent capabilities.
An author writing in the journal’s latest issue identified only as Tang Yi stated that the unmanned systems operated below 90 decibels to evade enemy sonar detection.
In addition, the equipment can be integrated with “submarine-launched missiles, smart mines and even mother-daughter unmanned underwater vehicles”, according to the article, “forming a multilayered strike network”.
Last month’s parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan in World War II saw the PLA showcase a range of cutting-edge weaponry, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, anti-ship missiles, drones and carrier-based aircraft.
The PLA Navy displayed new unmanned submersibles, unmanned surface vessels and unmanned minelaying systems.
