- China is rapidly advancing a seabed-to-space sensor system designed to track submarine movements throughout the Western Pacific.
- This network integrates satellites, unmanned vessels, and seabed sensors, validated in joint anti-submarine drills with Russia.
- Artificial intelligence is central to fusing multisource data, enabling predictive submarine tracking rather than reactive responses.
- The People’s Liberation Army seeks to enhance control over vital maritime chokepoints and limit adversary submarine operations despite ongoing technical hurdles.
