2022 Zhuhai Air Show has not opened yet, but the major domestic military enterprises have already shipped the exhibits to the exhibition area. Although it is called " Air Show ", many land and naval combat equipment also participated (it should be renamed "Defense Exhibition" in the future). Among these land combat equipment, there is a type of amphibious and land-based high-speed unmanned combat vehicle that is quite novel.
This unmanned vehicle is a large-scale equipment. Its body is larger than that of the Type 05 amphibious combat vehicle. Moreover, the chassis is different from the 05 vehicle's integrated track chassis. It is composed of multiple small distributed walking devices. This chassis structure is easier to slide in water.
This type of amphibious equipment developed by Wuchang Shipyard, which is currently unknown, is called the "sea lizard". Many military fans interpret its combat purpose as: when implementing landing operations, the first wave of unmanned weapons and vehicles to hit the beach.
means to replace the landing troops using human amphibious equipment to carry out unmanned landing wars. Its biggest feature is that it drives high speeds on the sea surface, which is said to reach 50 knots faster than the hoverboat , and it becomes difficult to intercept the enemy's anti-login weapon at high speed on the sea surface.
Have watched " Save the Soldier Ryan "... Anyone who has logged in to the war theme movies knows that the first wave of the beach rushing troops suffered huge casualties! More than 50% of casualties will occur, and some companies are even only one-third left, which shows how tragic the battle is! The reason is that the anti-logging party has built a large number of open bunkers, minefields, and various anti-logging obstacles. Although the landing party has prepared firepower and a large number of bombers, and naval guns, , carried out fierce attacks before the beach, it is impossible to completely eliminate the enemy's shore defense facilities. As long as there are remnants, it will cause huge casualties to the side. This problem has not been well solved in the 21st century, so we must develop unmanned equipment to replace people and implement the first wave of opposing strait shocks in today's technological progress.
is a very novel suspension walking device. There are four front, back, left and right. The installation is simple and can be disassembled and installed as a whole. One of them is damaged and does not affect the use of the others. It can be replaced as a whole during emergency repairs, greatly shortening the maintenance time.
As a type of equipment with a sea speed of up to 50 knots and can carry weapons for remote control operations, the "Sea Lizard" can act as the first wave of landing combat weapons, destroying and exploring the enemy's firepower points while avoiding casualties. Its modular design, while serving as an unmanned vehicle, carries soldiers to land on the beach in amphibious combat .
"Sea Lizard" has a large body and can be installed with various weapon modules, including remote control weapon stations, medium and low altitude air defense missiles, and small and medium-sized anti-ship missiles , but the premise is that it is very intelligent. The purpose of the development of
amphibious unmanned combat vehicles is to realize the cluster use of unmanned equipment. With the support of , the cluster control technology of drone /vehicle is realized. The clustered unmanned equipment group (drone, unmanned boat, unmanned combat vehicles ) will have the advantages of specialized use functions, high survival rate, high efficiency and cost ratio... and the most important thing is that there are no casualties. It is easy to make machines in industrialized countries. If they are broken, they are nothing more than changing one (rack) to supplement them.
Godzilla is actually a sea lizard.
The research and development of this type of unmanned amphibious equipment is to deal with future amphibious operations. Using machines to replace humans to complete dangerous work has always been an important issue. In industrialized countries, people are the most precious. Machines are produced very high under large-scale industrial production conditions and are cheaper. They form teams with other unmanned aircraft to attack in the form of attack. This is the future war.
