China has successfully developed a high-speed unmanned sea vessel called SeaFly-01 that can be used for a number of applications including detecting submarines.

The sea vessel has reportedly completed a test at Nanhu Lake in Wuhan last Oct. 27, the state-backed Daily People's Liberation Army said as reported by Pakistan Daily.

According to Indian Express, the SeaFly-01 has cutting-edge functions and capabilities including learning independently and avoiding obstacles, to name a few. Tech n Zone reported it will have a stealth technology that will not be traceable to radars.

Aside from submarine detection, the vessel also offers several other applications such as coastal patrol, armed confrontation, and water quality monitoring. It could also carry photoelectric scout device, light weapons, sonar and other equipment, according to NDTV.

"All the core equipment was developed by us, and the localization rate is 100 percent," Liu Fei, a technician from Sifang, the vessel's developer, told People's Daily China.

While the country has developed its highly advanced unmanned sea vessel, it also introduced its deadliest unmanned combat aircraft called the Caihong 5 (CH-5) during the recent International Aviation and Aerial Space Exhibition in Zhuhai, China.

The killer drone could carry out spying and bombing missions for 24 hours without refueling within a range of 15,000 miles. It could carry smart bombs, missiles, and radar jammers. It is also capable of carrying airborne early warning systems and could conduct a joint strike with its predecessors, CH-3 and CH-4.

The SeaFly-01, which is made of carbon fiber material, is 10.25 meters long and has a maximum speed of up to 45 knots. It is also equipped with the BeiDou communication navigation technology, a satellite system independently developed by China.
