This year’s Zhuhai air show – China’s largest aviation event and aerospace trade expo – also offered a rare glimpse into its latest unmanned maritime vehicles.According to Chinese digital news outlet The Paper, mega conglomerate China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) displayed a variety of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) at the air show, in numbers far exceeding those unveiled at previous editions of the biennial event.These included the Haishen 6000 (Poseidon 6000), a 7.6 metre-long (UUV) with a displacement of 3 tonnes, a maximum working depth of 6,000 metres and able to reach speeds of up to 4 knots. Multiple sensors on board can help it detect mines, and it can also carry towed acoustic decoys that use sonar signals to deflect active torpedoes.It is equipped with deep-water targets in distress high-resolution low-light illumination system, acoustic beacon directional guidance sonar, and hydroacoustic detection side scan sonar.The (UUV) has a wide range of working depth, load capacity, long endurance, search and detection capabilities, etc., and can be fully autonomous fine search for deep-sea targets, detection, positioning, the implementation of deep-sea underwater target search and detection, and marine scientific research tasks.#poseidon #uuv #haishen6000 #china #poseidon6000 #unmanned #submarine #planavy
