#VantageOnFirstpost: How Underwater Drones Became Key to Modern Defence Strategy Countries are rapidly expanding the use of underwater drones as global conflicts highlight vulnerabilities in deep-sea infrastructure. These autonomous systems can travel long distances, monitor power and telecom cables, scan for mines and track submarines. Early underwater vehicles were developed during the Cold War, but new technology and recent attacks on pipelines and cables have accelerated investment. Germany

In the maritime unmanned combat formations at China’s V-Day parade, new-type unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), unmanned ship, and unmanned mine-laying system are all reviewed for the first time. These unmanned maritime combat systems possess capabilities such as covert deployment for blockade operations, autonomous detection and identification, and swarm networking for coordinated attacks, making them formidable assets in naval warfare. A military affairs experts told the Global Times that they
