China has unveiled a new plan blockade a small island using a mix of four drones only. The island bears a striking resemblance to Taiwan.
The PLAs plan has been seen be some as a potential counter to the U.S.’ plan to defend the island of Taiwan with drones.China has announced that it is confident it could blockade a small island exclusively using drones, the People’s Liberation Army has announced. In a study released last month, PLA analysts detailed how this would be achieved.
“Area blockade and control stands as a typical application scenario for drone swarms in military operations,” the project team led by Chen Huijie, an engineer with the 92116 unit of the PLA, wrote in a peer-reviewed paper in the Chinese academic journalChen is in charge of testing and evaluating unmanned systems and their operational use at a military base in Huludao, a coastal city in Liaoning province.
“On the contrary, unmanned equipment offers advantages including expendability, low cost, and minimal casualties. Integrating unmanned clusters into a systematic war is anticipated to speed up the reconnaissance, identification, decision-making, and attack cycles, consequently boosting overall combat efficacy,” they added.
Their duty was to “operate in all weathers, achieving prompt detection, identification, and strikes against mobile threats.” Then, PLA naval vessels deployed small, composite-wing reconnaissance drones to observe concealed targets closely and anti-radiation patrol drones to eliminate enemy radars.
