From the previous Henri K article that he updated . Apparently Institute 702 is now working on new "Submarine detector(Scanner in french parlance) that will detect submarine up to 3000m depth. It is still experimental

(613 Institute), a subsidiary of the Chinese group AVIC aeronautics and specialized in optronics, we learn that one of their teams conducted the third test of the year on new Buoys that this design office is developing.

The test took place from 9 to 12 November in a lake whose name was not revealed. The team assessed performance in location capability, angular location accuracy and distance measurement for 3 types of sonar buoys - omnidirectional passive sonar buoy, directional passive sonar buoy and networked buoy, and buoy Sonar active omnidirectional.

The results are, according to the text, satisfactory and will make it possible to launch the continuation of the tests at sea which will take place "soon".

In addition to armaments, there has also been considerable investment in the submarine sector in recent years in fundamental research, the construction of acoustic measurement vessels, and the installation of -marines around China. These topics, all as exciting as they are complex, will certainly be the subject of other dossiers in the months to come.

Here is a small foretaste of

When transformative technologies are introduced, those who are most invested in prior technologies are the biggest losers. Right now, the nations with the most to lose from transformative developments in anti-submarine warfare technology are the United States and Russia. Arguably the UK is next, given that it relies upon submarines for its entire nuclear deterrent.

Nonetheless, despite not having the most to lose, if there is a realistic prospect that the stealth (and therefore efficacy) of submarines could be seriously undermined in the next generation, China should be wary of investing too many resources into submarines.
