Chinese missile-carrying unmanned attack craft revealed.

The photo shows the ship anchored on the water at what is believed to be the Huangpu Shipyard in Guangzhou. This is a highly classified naval program; previous images only revealed the hull, with most of the structure covered by tarpaulins.

From what can be observed, the ship's design suggests it is optimized for high speed and semi-submersible capabilities to jam radar systems, while also increasing its survivability against missile attacks. The Chinese Navy has long been predicted to expand the use of unmanned missile boats to support its increasingly powerful and world-class destroyer fleet.

The usefulness of this type of vessel was highlighted in February when the China Ship Design and Development Center (CSDDC), in collaboration with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, conducted a combat simulation. The results showed that just two of these unmanned vessels could help a Type 055 destroyer defeat up to eight Arleigh Burke-class destroyers of the US Navy in a simulated combat scenario.

In the simulation, the unmanned ships launched a large number of drones and unmanned boats, all controlled from a Type 055 ship acting as a command center. This coordination created a low-cost but highly effective “target destruction network.” The results were published shortly after Professor Yu Minghui—an AI expert and project leader—published a research paper on the application of this type of ship in the China Shipbuilding Research Journal on January 13.
