Does China have a shipborne UAV design that can do this mission? Coupled to a corvette with VLS and Asroc, and no manned helicopter. It could give partner navies decent ASW capabilities on a budget. It would also not require that nation to have to train a helicopter crew. Distributed sensor-shooter capabilities.

It is safe to assume that China has all the weapons systems and technology shown in this video. So, if any foreign customer places an order with a Chinese military enterprise as per this video, it will be a very pleasant cooperation.

However, the PLAN will not use this “attack mode of weapon systems that have no combat significance”. My professional military knowledge is very limited, but I can see a lot of problems with the combat model shown in this video.

1, This small to medium sized unmanned anti-submarine helicopter has a very limited range. The mother ship carrying it would already be in range of enemy submarines. Enemy submarines have the ability to prioritize attacks much earlier.
2, when the unmanned anti-submarine helicopter found the enemy submarine and put sonar buoys, the enemy submarine is obviously already aware of it. At that time, it is obviously too late for the manned helicopter to take off from the distant mother ship to drop depth charges or torpedoes.

If it were China to make a similar ASW system.
1, if we make an unmanned ASW based on R6000, what will be the effect?
2. If we develop an unmanned ASW based on the “Jindiao 500 series”. When it detects an enemy submarine, the mother ship will fire torpedoes directly at the enemy submarine instead of flying over with manned helicopters to drop depth charges.
 
AR-36 adopts an oil electric hybrid structure. During vertical takeoff, the propeller is powered by an electric motor; After changing to level flight in the air, it switches to fuel engine drive mode.
This unique design combines the strong power advantages of the electric motor with the long range advantages of the fuel engine, resulting in a range of up to eight hours.

Takeoff weight: 36 kilograms

It would be interesting if it also does vertical landing. Otherwise, what is the point? You might as well just strap a couple of rockets for takeoff.

The Control Institute of China Aviation Industry Corporation showcased the AR-36 vertical takeoff and landing drone. The AR-36 is a small fixed wing vertical takeoff and landing drone with a weight of 36 kilograms. This type of drone adopts an innovative tail seat vertical takeoff and landing configuration, combining the advantages of rotor and fixed wing aircraft. It has low requirements for takeoff and landing sites, uses a hybrid power system of oil and electricity, and has full autonomous flight capability.

I see. It must be the angle of the shot that prevents me from seeing the propellers on the vertical stablizers.
