China is developing systems to hunt US submarines from the air
SUMMARY
China is developing advanced systems to detect and track US submarines from the air. Recent patents indicate efforts to enhance magnetic detection and sonobuoy technology. These advancements are crucial for protecting Chinese aircraft carriers and amphibious operations, particularly in a potential conflict involving Taiwan. The Chinese navy's KQ-200 aircraft, similar to the US Navy's P-8 Poseidon, plays a key role in anti-submarine warfare. Improved training and coordination between ASW aircraft and ships are also being emphasized. These developments allegedly aim to safeguard high-value assets and support China's at-sea nuclear deterrent capabilities.
