China is developing an AI robot that can attack by hiding in the sea

Beijing, Oct. 10

China is now developing AI robots that can attack an enemy ship without human guidance, hiding in the sea, to be able to challenge the United States to become a global superpower. China developed Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) over a decade ago. Using artificial intelligence, China has successfully located and attacked a dummy submarine.

In an experiment conducted by China in the Gulf of Taiwan, the UV was placed 30 feet below the surface of the water. He was able to identify the location of the submarine, determine the target and then fire on the dummy submarine with unarmed torpedoes. UUVs used sonar and onboard sensors to obtain data. This data was analyzed by a computer to complete the attack.

The secret Chinese experiment was described by researchers at Harbin Engineering University in 2010 and the research paper was released last week. Pro. "The need for future underwater weapons will create new opportunities for unmanned platforms," ​​the scientists, led by Liang Guolong, wrote. He added that UUVs could be programmed to operate in a group and attack a target. China is believed to have been developing such UVs since 2010.

China conducted the test in the Taiwan Strait at a time when it considered Taiwan as its own. China has warned Japan against offering to join hands with US troops to protect Taiwan. In such a time, China has revealed the details of its project a decade ago. China's official newspaper Global Times' opinion column claimed that Japan was digging its own grave by offering to protect Taiwan against China along with the United States. The article said that Japan was "powerless" against China's military and warned Japan not to cross Beijing's "red line".

UVs are used by commercial shipping companies, but have never been used in combat. Some UVs have been pulled on various beaches in Asia. In December, an Indonesian fisherman caught an unmanned underwater drone two meters long from the water near the island of Selayer. The Indonesian military called the long gray drone Chinese Haii or 'Sea Wing', it was missile-shaped.
