China successfully developed a smart water cannon controlled by AI

Chinese researchers successfully developed the world's first smart water cannon controlled by artificial intelligence (AI).

According to the South China Morning Post , Chinese researchers have just invented a smart water cannon controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) , allowing them to hit targets with an error of only 2 meters in weather conditions. hard.

The smart water cannon was invented by researchers at the Wuhan Marine Electric Propulsion Equipment Research Institute.

The new device can automatically identify targets, automatically adjust the power and jet trajectory of the water flow based on real-time measurements from the photoelectric camera.

This water cannon is also equipped with a sensor to record the ship's rotation direction, thereby helping to automatically change the parameters of the water flow ejected from the hose.

Furthermore, the new smart water cannon also improves accuracy by 33 to 54% compared to conventional water cannons . In the latest experiments, this waterspout can hit a target on the water surface located about 2m away from the waterspout in rough sea conditions, 4m high waves and high winds.

Chinese researchers say this is a breakthrough that helps bring this type of 'non-lethal weapon' to a new level. They also believe that this new smart tool will be able to become a powerful assistant to help China gain dominance in the East Sea region.

A water cannon is a device controlled by a high-pressure water pump to create a powerful, high-speed water stream.

A powerful waterspout can strike targets located 100 meters away, creating a pressure of more than 1.2 megapascals. If compared to human endurance, this pressure corresponds to an African elephant trampling on a grown man.

In addition to smart water cannons, China has previously successfully developed aircraft carriers with electronic launchers, supersonic anti-ship missiles, ultra-high-power electronic warfare systems and a number of other advanced equipment.

China's maritime application inventions were announced in the context of tensions in the East Sea region, which have especially escalated after ship collision incidents and water cannon spraying in recent months.

China has unilaterally declared sovereignty over the entire East Sea, despite opposition from many countries, including the Philippines and the United States.
