Não deixem a Marinha ver isto, que ainda compram as LFC na loja dos Chineses!!!
Chinese Experimental Combat USVThe second vessel which appeared at GSI, Longxue Island first in satellite imagery shared on “X” (previously Twitter) is an uncrewed or optionally crewed combat vessel. CSSC in expo displays has labelled the design first as “300 ton multi-purpose unmanned combat surface vehicle”. In subsequent displays the company re-designated the drone as the “Jari-USV-A Multipurpose USV”. Huangpu Shipyard, also owned by CSSC and based in Guangzhou, similar to GSI, appears to be the builder.

The ship is armed with at least four vertical launch cells, equipped with multiple sensor panels likely for an electronically scanned array and additional sensors, and a sizeable aviation pad at the rear supporting a VTOL UAV. An organic UAV capability could support the USV particularly in over the horizon (OTH) -targeting for maritime and land attack-roles.
If previously shown models of a slightly different configuration are indicative, the design may contain further weapons in recessed bays, including an autocannon on the bow, and torpedo launchers at the sides. Forward of the four missile cells is a notable square area which may incorporate further missile cells.
