A new Chinese AI system is said to detect even the most modern submarines. It announced that the China Helicopter Research and Development Institute had created an AI system that can simultaneously evaluate measurement data from various sources. Russia follows with around 16 strategic submarines and numerous other nuclear attack and cruise missile submarines. Germany relies on modern diesel-electric submarines and plays a leading role in conventional technology, but does not have nuclear capabilities. Other relevant NATO countries with submarines include Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada and Turkey, which rely on proven conventional technology.
