AI integration increased the efficiency of the process by 60 per cent, potentially boosting the stealth capacity and survivability of China’s expanding submarine fleet, state media reports said.
The combat-readiness degaussing exercise took place recently at a PLA Northern Theatre Command naval base, state broadcaster CCTV reported on Sunday.
The simulated emergency drill marked the first operational deployment of an AI-assisted decision-making system, and enhanced performance far beyond traditional manual methods, it said.
The base commander, who was not identified, told the official PLA Daily that “degaussing is vital to a warship’s survivability on a modern battlefield”.

Troops simulated a “combat-oriented” approach, using acoustic and electromagnetic modelling to test the process under realistic conditions, the newspaper quoted the commander as saying in a report published on Saturday.
