Recently, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), an American think tank, reported on such an incident: 1 ship of the mainland recently completed an "extraordinary, but almost unknown voyage around the island of Taiwan."
The fact that American think tanks can keep an eye on it shows that this ship is quite extraordinary. According to the US think tank, the "Zhuhai Yun" maritime drone "aircraft carrier" sailed around the island this time, and the purpose of the voyage was to collect key intelligence around Taiwan Island and measure the surrounding hydrological information.
Zhuhai Cloud is the world's first intelligent UAV research ship, with a design displacement of about 2,000 tons; Its appearance is quite sci-fi, like the "future warship" in the movie, and its role is also very prominent, it can act as a mothership of more than 50 kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned boats, and unmanned underwater vehicles, and can be used to complete three-dimensional mapping at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level to a depth of 1,500 meters underwater in the sea area of 160 kilometers in length and width through UAV cooperation. It can be seen that in terms of hydrological monitoring, the "Zhuhai Yun" has quite strong technical capabilities, which is the main reason why American think tanks are interested in the appearance of this ship around Taiwan Island.
The hydrological and atmospheric environment of the sea and air space has a great impact on the performance of the equipment, which is also the main reason why all parties pay attention to the protection of relevant information; Every year, the United States drops "unmanned underwater vehicles" in the waters around China to act as "spies" to steal hydrographic information. In the same way, our "Zhuhai Yun" scientific research ship appeared in the waters east of Taiwan Island, and it is indeed possible to undertake the task of collecting hydrological information, but unlike the behavior of the US military, we have made our identities clear and acted in a bright and upright manner.
It is worth noting that the "Zhuhai Cloud" can release a variety of unmanned platforms in batches, and can realize adaptive networking and independent networking, with very high technology content, which also represents a high level of China's application of unmanned platform technology.
This also reminds me of one thing, for example, after several rounds of tossing, the US military finally determined the best way to "win absolute technological superiority over the PLA": through advanced all-domain command and control capabilities, form an "unmanned army" composed of "thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned boats" controlled by artificial intelligence.
According to U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Hicks, the program, called "Replicator," will ensure that the United States maintains its "military deterrence" capability against China for decades to come.
Of course, the U.S. military has indeed developed a lot of unmanned equipment, but judging from the current situation, the U.S. military's progress in the field of unmanned equipment is not very smooth, and it may even lag behind our army.
Hicks is still drawing pies, and our drone adaptive networking has been put into practice. The "unmanned army" in the dream of the US military is most afraid of facing our larger counterparts in the end!
