HSU-001

HSU-001 is a class of Chinese unmanned underwater vehicle.

Overview

The HSU-001 is a Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (LDUUV).[1]

The actual capabilities of HSU-001 are largely unknown.[2] The HSU-001 is thought to be optimized for seabed warfare.[3]

The HSU-001 has limited endurance and is expected to be complemented by longer range UUVs in Chinese service.[4]

History

The HSU-001 was exhibited for the first time at the People’s Republic of China’s 70th anniversary parade in 2019.[5][6][7]

Specification

Very little technical details of HSU-001 has been released to the public by the Chinese government, and as of early 2020s, only the following information is known:[8][9][10]

  • Length: 5 meter
  • Diameter: 1 meter
  • Weight: 3 ton
