China Drone Carrier

Officially it is just a research vessel, but China's newly unveiled drone carrier is a clear sign Beijing is rushing to deploy an autonomous swarm of unmanned devices in its push for military supremacy in the Pacific Ocean.

China has launched a drone carrier with a one-of-a-kind artificial intelligence system on Wednesday which includes dozens of autonomous drones, ships, and submersibles for marine research and observation.

The US Navy made aviation history on Tuesday by launching an unmanned jet off an aircraft carrier for the first time, taking an important step toward expanded use of drones by the American military with an eye on possible rivals like China and Iran.

The US Navy plans to make aviation history on Tuesday by catapulting an unmanned jet off an aircraft carrier for the first time, testing a long-range, stealthy, bat-winged plane that represents a jump forward in drone technology.

With Beijing confirming that its first aircraft carrier has begun sea trials, there has never been more enthusiasm for the giant vessels among the Chinese population. Competitors on the outskirts of Beijing took part in a three-day contest, over the weekend, to try to land radio controlled drones on a mock up of an aircraft carrier.

The US is developing aircraft carrier-based drones that could provide a crucial edge as it tries to counter China's military rise.American officials have been tight-lipped about where the unmanned armed planes might be used, but a top Navy officer has told The Associated Press that some would likely be deployed in Asia."They will play an integral r...
