China is rapidly expanding a sophisticated underwater surveillance network in the South China Sea and Western Pacific to monitor foreign naval activity. Often referred to as part of its “Blue National Defense” initiative, this system utilizes an array of seabed sensors, hydrophones, and deep-sea buoys to track submarine movements. By mapping underwater topography and gathering real-time oceanographic data, the network aims to neutralize the stealth advantage of rival vessels, establishing a strategic maritime advantage in the region.
- The surveillance network utilizes fixed acoustic sensors placed on the seabed, particularly in strategic maritime chokepoints.
- The system constantly gathers environmental data, including water temperature, salinity, and currents, which are essential for sonar optimization.
- Collected data is transmitted via fiber-optic cables and deep-sea buoys to satellite networks and mainland command centers in real-time.
- The project aims to counter the stealth advantages of foreign submarines, particularly those of the United States and its allies.
- Experts indicate the system also secures safe passage for China’s own ballistic missile submarines operating in deep-water basins.

I find that DW cannot live a single day without talking about China
😂what about American underwater monitoring system caught by Chinese fisherman? Americans are doing this globally. DW please don't play doubt standards.
Sounds to me that Australian concern their submarines to be found by the chinese. If you keep your subs away from other countries then there's nothing to be concern of.
Is this AI generated show? Everyone is capable will do this kind of research.
Jennifer parker does not have naval warfare experience she's just an ex ADF Australian defence force officer that sits behind the desk giving advice. Other words keyboard warrior!😆 im Australian she always talking but none of her advice is accurate.
Can't have enough war to talk about? Ameicans will make you one soon.
These fishermen have ventured too far from their shores.
Whenever a military-linked device is called ‘scientific research,’ I feel like there’s probably a lot more going on than we’re being told.
I'm sure this was just a misunderstanding. Like their meteorological research balloon, that was 60m tall and 45m wide.
Don’t be too scared, their all Temu quality’s😅
South China Sea also require some scientific research.
Look at my eyes and say: "Australia never spies on China". Will you?
Western paranoia about China gone mad. 😂 Is everything from China a threat?
Of course China is preparing for a war with the US. The South China Sea will mind if like a Chinese lake and sub kill zone. And it not only drone subs, it is also thousands of militia surface vessels with sonars.
Polluting the waterways.
10 -15 years ago, only the US was using these Underwater Surveillance Systems around the South China Sea !
It seems that China stole ideas from the US again and made their own Underwater Surveillance Systems by now !
Over 300 US Military Bases are still surrounding China ! Befriend with the US to engage people of your country to all sort
of Wars & enjoy the Freedom of Navigation in the South China Sea !
germany is obsessed with China
perhaps DW should focus on germany spiralling into economic abyss
In one form or another, during the 1980's US and NATO had planted sonobouys all around the eastern block and it's harbors. Not to mention Indonesian waters.
Why care DW?
CHINA IS ALREADY TOO LATE. THEY ARE JUST CATCHING UP REAL QUICK!!!
DW will disapprove every single thing that comes out of China period
She didn’t mention that Usa has similar devices in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean
But hey China is bad😂 … western hypocrisy stinks
SpaceX is duel use
