In its first publicly demonstrated simulated explosive detection mission, the biomimetic manta ray soft-bodied underwater vehiclesuccessfully identified and located two different simulated explosive devices, showcasing its high-precision target detection capability.

The vehicle is centered on the Aoxiang V-shaped design inspired by a manta ray. Equipped with forward-looking sonar, it is capable of penetrating darkness and detecting targets in underwater conditions with visibility of less than one meter. Featuringstrong concealment, high detection accuracy, and outstanding endurance, itcan be widely applied in missions such as underwater reconnaissance, target search, and exploration in complex environments.

Even when wired communication is cut off, the vehicle retains autonomous navigation capability and can steadily approach the designated targets.

Multiple such vehicles can form a relay network, creating a sonar-based "local network" that converts satellite signals into acoustic signals, enabling information connectivity between deep sea and surface, and providing support for coordinated operations of unmanned underwater swarms.
