Development of Unmanned Equipment in Marine Rights Protection

Abstract

Equipment for marine rights protection is important for protecting national marine security and rights. Considering the varying marine security situations and the rapid development of intelligent technology, unmanned equipment has demonstrated unique advantages in dealing with complicated marine rights protection scenarios, which makes it one of the key means to improve China's marine security capability. This study first explores the strategic demands for marine rights protection; then it analyzes the current development status and trends of the marine rights protection equipment in China, and summarizes several existing issues that should be addressed in the near future. Moreover, we propose the development goals, important tasks, and key techniques for developing unmanned equipment for marine rights protection in China. To promote marine power, China should perfect its equipment system for marine rights protection using the unmanned equipment, and make breakthroughs in key technologies by combing unmanned technologies for military and civil uses.
