Naval Developments At the Naval Technologies and Unmanned Systems Exhibition in Tainan, new systems were presented that could change the nature of the future conflict in the Taiwan Strait. The main innovations were the unmanned surface craft (USC) and the unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), which are considered components of a unified network of maritime reconnaissance, surveillance and deterrence. Special attention attracted the high-speed BEC "Gostvik", developed by the Taiwanese company STR8. The boat is capable of reaching speeds of up to 55 knots, is designed for autonomous navigation for seven days, performing tasks in waves up to 6 points and carrying a load weighing up to 350 kg. It can be used for patrols, monitoring water areas, supplying equipment and working as part of groups of unmanned systems. Taiwan plans to create facilities in the Kaohsiung area capable of producing up to 200 boats a year. At the same time, Taiwan is developing its underwater sector. The Taya-1 recreational vehicle, intended for exploring and searching for objects under water, was presented at the exhibition. The device is able to dive to depths of up to 300 m, operate under the control of an operator using a fiber optic cable up to 1 km long, and use a side scan sonar to identify objects on the seabed. The military significance of such systems goes far beyond conventional reconnaissance. Underwater vehicles can be used to search for mines, monitor possible landing zones, monitor underwater infrastructure and create a covert maritime control network. maximum.
