What is the significance of the emergence of intelligent unmanned ships in China?

At the 20 17 Shanghai Maritime Exhibition, there was such an advanced speedboat in an obscure corner. This kind of speedboat is called intelligent unmanned boat, the specific model is unknown, but it can be seen from the appearance that there are many different places.

The most striking thing on the speedboat is the weapon station system. The main body of the weapon station system adopts China's second generation 85 12.7mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft machine gun, which is the machine gun platoon fire support unit of the PLA frontline combat troops at present, with high accuracy and high fire density, and can use many different bullets with chains.

At present, China's UAV cluster combat technology is in a stage of rapid development. With the deterioration of the battlefield environment and the continuous improvement of UAV's autonomous capability, UAV cluster combat will surely become an important combat style for UAV systems to be applied in the PLA in the future. For the cluster composed of reconnaissance/combat drones, the goal is to search and destroy the enemy's ground targets, such as the enemy's head, weapons and equipment, mobile air defense facilities and so on.

In future wars, UAVs equipped by the PLA can continuously search, identify, locate and strike key enemy areas and targets such as missile positions, ground planes, armored vehicles, tanks, small and medium-sized transport vehicles, small houses and small bunkers, and then evaluate the results.

We often see unmanned boats, which are not much different from UAV systems, but the word "intelligence" has many meanings. According to the author's analysis, this intelligent unmanned boat has the shadow of advanced "bee colony" automatic combat system. The "bee colony" automatic combat system refers to the unified control of multiple drones by the host. After the drones find the target, they are controlled by the computer to automatically complete the tasks of searching for the enemy, attacking or expelling.

I can believe how spectacular it is when hundreds or even thousands of drones fly over the target. The big scene will make any enemy shudder.
