Sea air collaborative 'shark hunting' - observations from a naval aviation unit's ship aircraft collaborative anti submarine training. Over the ocean, anti submarine helicopters soar into the air, and surface vessels are on high alert. On a scorching summer day, a naval aviation regiment and a naval unit organized a ship aircraft coordinated anti submarine training to kick off the battle. The high-speed rotation of the propeller blades produces a deafening roar, and several helicopters shuttle flexibly, using low altitude sea skimming methods to fly to the target sea area. After arrival, the helicopter pilot adjusts the route according to instructions, and the crew closely monitors the underwater dynamics, comprehensively judges the possible direction and motion trend of the target, and transmits the information in real time to the naval formation command post. Upon receiving the "enemy situation" report, the formation commander quickly ordered all ships to launch a submarine search formation and cooperate with helicopters to identify target attributes. Soon, a 'shark hunting net' was quietly woven. At this moment, the underwater target suddenly released interference signals, attempting to escape tracking. The formation commander immediately ordered the construction of a ship aircraft information sharing platform for coordinated confrontation. I saw the long aircraft hovering over the target sea area, hanging sonar equipment, and the wingman cooperating with the long aircraft to establish a flight path. The two aircraft gradually expanded the search range in coordination. Under the sea surface, sonar equipment constantly sways with the undulating waves. To maintain the stability of the helicopter, the captain used manual hovering throughout the entire process, closely cooperating with the aerial sonar operator to search for target traces. This training is conducted in a remote and unfamiliar area with complex meteorological and hydrological conditions, which places higher demands on ship aircraft command coordination, tactical tactics application, and sonar listening and situation assessment The leader of the regiment introduced that in order to solve the problems of limited search methods and slow target determination speed when ships and aircraft are used alone for anti submarine operations, they have deeply integrated the necessary elements of ship aircraft platforms, weapon systems, intelligence reconnaissance, etc. for anti submarine operations, focusing on creating an integrated tactical layout and accelerating the enhancement of the unit's ship aircraft collaborative anti submarine and system combat capabilities. Found the target With the comprehensive analysis of sonar feedback information by sonar technicians and the cooperation of anti submarine helicopters with ships to identify and eliminate false targets, underwater targets are re captured. At this point, the suspicious target attempted to escape tracking once again. The crew immediately changed tactics, predicting the escape direction of the target based on its disappearance location, expanding the search and interception range, and synchronously pushing the information to the surface vessels. The ship aircraft coordination quickly occupies a favorable position, conducts comprehensive analysis and judgment on the target, and decisively launches an attack after confirming that it is an "enemy" submarine. After the training ended and returned, participants from both sides gathered in the evaluation room to conduct a review and discussion on equipment use, command coordination, and other aspects of the training. They identified existing problems and formulated improvement measures. The leader of the regiment introduced that in recent years, they have actively integrated training resources, innovated tactics and training methods, improved training modes, connected command chains, enriched combat methods, and focused on specialized training on topics such as collaborative anti submarine operations, joint search and rescue, and sea assault. As a result, the unit's ability to win has been effectively improved. (New Society)
