What are the characteristics of future submarines?

With the development of science and technology and the increasing demand for naval warfare, military strategists are drawing a blueprint for future submarines, which will have the following characteristics.

In the future, the new nuclear submarine needs to be further reduced in size, so as to gain more space for offshore and shallow water activities and improve its information-making ability in the future information battlefield.

New nuclear submarines are developing at a high speed. The submarine's sailing speed is fast, which can not only occupy the favorable position in advance to give the opponent a sudden blow, but also quickly avoid the enemy's attack and ensure its own safety.

In the future, the propulsion system of nuclear-powered submarine will be changed from the existing combination of pressurized water reactor and steam turbine to the direct power generation of nuclear reactor to drive the motor to obtain propulsion power.

In the shape design, it may be a breakthrough to adopt a smooth and flat design similar to catfish. In the internal configuration, further improve the level of automatic command and control, and simplify the submarine machinery and power system on the premise of ensuring safety; On the basis of full electrification of submarine power, realize full electrification of equipment and cancel hydraulic control system and other equipment.

In order to improve the ability of obtaining information, the ship's sonar array is developed, and the number of array elements is expanded, so that it can simultaneously monitor underwater acoustic information from all directions. Compared with the traditional bow sonar, side sonar and towed array sonar, this new sonar array will greatly improve the listening performance of submarines and reduce the cost.

The new nuclear submarine should increase its dive depth. With the increase of diving depth, the submarine can move more widely, so that it can fight better and be more concealed, and at the same time it can avoid the attack of enemy anti-submarine forces. Future submarines are likely to be made of reinforced plastics.

The new nuclear submarine should make great efforts to reduce noise, and the engine and propeller of the submarine will make noise when working. The noise is low, the submarine can move more stealthily, and the enemy sonar is not easy to find itself. China's new strategic submarine has the characteristics of ultra-quiet and high maneuverability.

The new nuclear submarine should extend its latent time to ensure better completion of various tactical tasks, or it can be hidden without being discovered.

The highest record of existing nuclear submarines is 90 days, so new nuclear submarines must break this record or even longer in the future.

The new nuclear submarine should adopt neutrino communication to strengthen its contact with shore-based; Holographic photography of the outside of the boat is carried out with ultrasonic waves, so that the personnel in the submarine can clearly see the three-dimensional image of the outside of the boat.

New nuclear submarines should use advanced weapons. Including the use of advanced weapons such as particle beams. It is also necessary to realize automatic control, and use computers and advanced control devices to fully automate the manipulation and command of submarines.
