China is developing underwater AI robots that can hide in the sea and attack enemy vessels with torpedoes without human guidance.
The unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) were developed in experiments over a decade ago and successfully managed to use artificial intelligence to find a dummy submarine and attack it with a torpedo.
The experiments, conducted in the Taiwan Strait, saw the UUV deployed on a fixed course 30ft below the surface.
It was able to identify the location of the submarine, change course, circle the target, and then fire at the dummy with an unarmed torpedo.
The UUV used sonar and onboard sensors to fetch data, which were analysed by the computer, to help it make complete the task.
The experiments were described in papers written by researchers at Harbin Engineering University in 2010 and declassified last week.

How many fish and whales will die by torpedo strikes?
The country that makes the best drones, wins the next war.
That’s nothing... we have chicks with d*cks in our military. Our military leads the world in faggetory fabulousness!
What could go wrong?
If their robot army is anything like our current crop of woke, hormonally imbalanced, and mentally confused recruits that,the left are filling military with these days, the robots will be too busy admiring one another and having emotional breakdowns to attack anyone.
Awww hell, let em stand on the deck and blow kisses as the total disgusted bomb..
Drones would puke..
Not as many as the helpless baby seals near the shore. Somebody call Greta. Fast.
China has robots without humans.
We have a President without a working human brain and 52% approve of his handling of the job.
I still think James Bond could scuba dive, disconnect the robots’ central digital controllers and disable the firepower.
Chairman Xi: Drat. He’s meddled in my affairs once too often.
Cut off the American supply of Made in China children’s toys and video games before Christmas.
While hyping this bit of CCP propaganda, the article shows images of a US underwater experimental drone
If it’s using active sonar to find its target, it becomes the target. And sonar can be jammed. I am not terribly impressed.
Do they call the underwater drones “drowns”?
Our forces use the finest sonar ever created - the Marine Mammal System.
If this is true, add it to the list of communist weapon systems we paid for thanks to the free traitors.
They’ve obviously not understood the concept of attack submarines, nor do they appear to understand the fact that the oceans off of the Taiwan Strait are patrolled by Los Angeles and Virginia class attack submarines. Not to mention the boomers.
During the height of the cold war, it is said that there was not one Russian boomer cruising the seas, that did not have an LA attack sub closely following, crusing within a kilometer (Usually 400 - 500 m) completely unknown to the Russian sub on patrol. I’m not even going to mention the upgraded sonus system.
