Chinese propulsion system advances submarine capability

China has conducted a trial run on the country's first permanent magnet propulsion motor for naval vessels, with experts saying that it marks a significant breakthrough in the country's naval vessel building industry, especially for the nuclear submarines.

The State-owned China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), which is known for its aircraft carriers and the Jiaolong submersible vessel, made a statement on its official WeChat public account on Monday that the permanent magnet motor with a Chinese patent has been used on naval vessels docked at Sanya, South China's Hainan Province, the base of China's conventional and nuclear submarine fleet.

The statement said the vessel's propeller began to turn at 11 am on October 18, then reached the designated speed, which signified the success of the permanent magnet propulsion.

Although the statement did not disclose the type of vessels the motor was tested on, Chinese military experts say they believe the motor is specially designed for China's submarines and can substantially improve their performance in many aspects, especially by significantly reducing their running sound to the lowest possible level.

The new high-performance permanent magnet motors made from rare-earth materials avoid the flaws of traditional motors that work under the excitation principle, and can provide much greater power density, and can significantly reduce its working noise," Song Zhongping, a military analyst who previously served with the PLA Rocket Force, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Back in May, Rear Admiral Ma Weiming, China's top naval engineer, in an interview with China Central Television, said that the navy was supplying its newest nuclear attack submarines with a "shaftless," rim-driven pump-jet, which was considered a revolutionary, low-noise propulsion system.
Ma said that the technology was ahead of the US and more efficient and suitable for high-speed nuclear submarines.

China’s Sunic-Ocean targets regional maritime security roles with SU-H2M UAV

Kelvin Wong - IHS Jane's International Defence Review

27 October 2017

Sunic-Ocean System Tech (Sunic-Ocean), a Qingdao-based research and development company specialising in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous flight control systems, has completed development of its SU-H2M vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAV, Jane’s has learnt.

The SU-H2M features a 3.81 m-long tadpole-shaped fuselage with a skid undercarriage that carries a two-bladed carbon fibre main rotor with a diameter of 3.2 m. A two-bladed tail rotor is fitted on dorsal and ventral swept vertical tail surfaces towards the rear.

The SU-H2M has a small operating footprint, which is intended to support shipborne operations. (IHS Markit/Kelvin Wong)

According to specifications provided by Sunic-Ocean, the SU-H2M has a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 110 kg and is powered by a water-cooled four-stroke rotary engine rated at 34hp. This configuration enables the air vehicle to carry a 10 litre AV gas fuel tank along with a 35 kg payload.

The air vehicle features a belly mounted payload bay that typically carries an electro-optical sensor pod for surveillance, although it can be replaced by other mission systems when required.

The company is quoting a cruising speed of 60 km/h and an operational ceiling of 9,842 ft with a flight endurance in excess of 3 hours when carrying 20 litres of fuel. When operated with its portable control station, the SU-H2M can be controlled via line of sight (LOS) radio frequency (RF) communications at distances of up to 100 km.

Wang Fucheng, sales manager at Sunic-Ocean, told Jane’sthat the air vehicle incorporates a high level of autonomy with automatic take-off and landing, automatic hover, and semi-autonomous route planning via user defined waypoints.

Riverine boat will be useful for coastal area security as Pakistan has no river to patrol.

Riverine boat will be useful for coastal area security as Pakistan has no river to patrol.

?? What? The Indus and its tributaries represent one of the largest watersheds in the world. There are many rivers that Pakistan needs to patrol. Now you might say they aren't important against India, but India is not the only threat. There are terrorists that use rivers, drug traffickers, and gangs.

Last year, operations against Chotu Gang by Punjab Police was disastrous specifically due to the lack of Riverine craft amongst other issues. The access to vital areas with the bringing of heavy firepower was so limited to to pathetic little dinghies they were using that the army had to be brought in to deal with the gang.


Now regarding the Swift corvette, I think they will be primarily for CFT151 To free up larger assets. I cannot believe the US would release RAM2 to Pakistan if Congress allows this sale to go through at all. One reason may be the Pakistani /Pakistani descent CEO of Swift Boats. If yhe deal goes through, it will represent the value of Pakistan origin people getting into industry other than Medicine in the US, and Pakistan for the first time properly leveraging the community. But it remains to be seen 1)what configuration the ship will come with (guns and UAV only, or with Harpoon and RAM2) and 2) if congress will allow the deal to go through.

If it does, the deal is supposedly for 2 + option for 2 by 2020. That plus the supposed Chinese frigate deal will likely effectively kill the MILGEM deal which, while it was giving a new big ticket supplier, was too expensive for what PN was acquiring.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) any word on the configuration, furthermore, any word pn plans to move harpoons off the Amazon's to something like MTP-33 or would they ve moved to Swifts to help lower cost?

No word on specific configuration of the Swift corvettes. Given that they're for CTF-150/151, they can just do with 30 mm guns. As for the MILGEM, @cabatli_53 quoted a reliable Turkish source, who was saying Turkey's EXIM Bank is in talks with Pakistan to work out financing for the MILGEM (a couple of weeks ago).
