A large torpedo-shaped device was found last week by a fisherman near an island in the Lombok Strait, a strategically important sea lane linking Australia to the South China Sea.
It has been identified as a Chinese undersea monitoring system designed to be moored to an anchor on the sea floor while sending data home via communication buoys deployed to the surface.
Beijing has dismissed concerns while Jakarta says examination of the device is continuing.
A large torpedo-shaped device discovered near an island in a strategically important strait between Bali and Lombok has been identified by defence analysts as a Chinese undersea monitoring system.
No flag, no crew, no rights – what Indonesia can legally do about the Lombok drone
A torpedo-like object found off Lombok may not qualify as a “ship”, challenging categories that weren’t designed for unmanned vessels.
Indonesian fishers found a torpedo-like object in the waters north of Gili Trawangan, Lombok, on 6 April. The exact coordinates of the discovery and the object’s direction of travel are unknown. Much else remains speculative: whether it was moving within Indonesia’s archipelagic sea lane (ALKI II) in the Lombok Strait or outside it, what activity it was conducting, and whether the object is attributable to a state.
Speculation persists that the object is an unmanned underwater drone linked to a Chinese company. The investigation continues.
