Exovera’s latest report, “Blue Ocean and Transparent Ocean Overview,” examines China’s strategic integration of space and maritime technologies under its military-civilian fusion initiative. The report details two major initiatives:
- The Blue Ocean Information Network, a state-backed system developed by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) to integrate space-based, aerial, shore, sea, and underwater observation systems. The network is designed to enhance China’s maritime situational awareness, command and control, and economic applications.
- The Transparent Ocean Network, a multi-layered observation network utilizing satellites, buoys, underwater gliders, and AI-driven analytics to improve ocean surveillance and intelligence collection. Sub-programs include advanced satellite development, deep-sea detection technologies, and AI-powered ocean modeling.
Both initiatives reflect China’s ambitions to dominate oceanic data collection, expand its technological capabilities, and bolster national security interests. The report provides insights into China’s evolving strategy in the space-underwater nexus and its implications for global security and maritime operations.
