China's army under sight: Taiwan boasted marine drones for the military (video)

Drones and underwater drones for intelligence were mostly shown, but some of them can be converted to Kamikadze sea drones. At the Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology exhibition (Tadte), Taiwan demonstrated new models of surface, air and underwater drones that will help him withstand increasing aggression from China. Naval News reports more about their features and characteristics.

Tadte is an exhibition held twice a year and organized by the Taiwanese Council for Foreign Trade Development, a leading non -profit organization Taiwan. Tadte has been conducted for about two decades and is the only professional exhibition of the aerospace and defense industry in Taiwan, where landmarks and international companies have been demonstrating their products, technologies and solutions.

It is also an important event for the Taiwanese government, which presents the general public development in the field of military and technology development. Naval News military experts have noted the most interesting intelligence models of unmanned systems and drones that Taiwan's naval forces can soon receive. This unmanned boat is designed for reconnaissance operations on the water surface. The ship is equipped with modern navigation and motor systems, as well as many sensors.

Its relevant load can be adapted to the specific requirements of the mission. Seashark 400 is ideal for observation, intelligence and relaying. According to a representative of the company, on the example of successful maritime operations of Ukraine against the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, this model can be converted even to a naval drone-Kamikadze. The project is being developed primarily for the Taiwan National Defense Ministry, but may be exported in the future.

The unmanned submarine is the size of Mini Cooper (length: 4000 mm, weight: 1000 kg) is intended to perform various civilian and military tasks: from observation to support to environmental protection and research. Submarine can immerse up to 200 meters in depth. The prototype is currently under test. The Alseamar Sea Explorer submarine is a powerful autonomous touch platform designed to collect data with very large spatial and time coverage.

It has a range of swimming up to 1700 km, autonomy up to 100 days and a working depth up to 1000 m. Sea Explorer is able to slide up and down in water column, collecting physical, chemical, biological and acoustic data, depending on the built -in sensors (up to 6 sensors in two sensors sections). The Sea Explorer glider is a very economical solution to collect data because it reduces the dependence on large vessels with high daily operating costs.

It is also easy to operate and can be lowered and raised by a small team in coastal waters with small boats. Perhaps one of the most interesting drones in the world that has a unique range of take -off and landing. V-Bat is intended for use without a runway in difficult conditions. The drone can be transported on a truck and collected for two less than 20 minutes, which makes this UAV a real expedition system created for dynamic displacements and rapid military operations.

V-Bat can be used for tasks such as borders and threats. The V-Bat design enables it to take off and land for a strong wind and even aboard moving ships. The main thing is that there is a place for planting 4 x 4 meters in size. Crusher speed - 97 km/h, sprint - 158 km/h. Flight duration - 10 hours with a pay load of 4. 54 kg. V-Bat can hang in one place for up to 45 minutes, and it takes less than 15 seconds to move from hanging to flight.

All these maximum characteristics depend on the environmental factors and the configuration of the drone itself. Earlier, Focus reported that China conducted the most massive studies near Taiwan. Such activity, according to Chinese experts, is a "strict warning of separatists" and external forces. On April 21, China's Foreign Minister Qin Gan said that the country would defend the rights to Taiwan.
