Connected, structured equipment data that delivers unique insights
With more than 41,000 profiles, Janes offers the only single resource for comprehensive, unclassified and up-to-date intelligence on military equipment (air, sea, land and space) in production and use around the globe. By structuring and connecting this data to the inventories for more than 190 countries, ORBATs for 18,800 military units, 9,200 bases and more than 20,000 organisations across aerospace and defence, Janes is uniquely positioned to provide you with timely, accurate, validated intelligence to support entity recognition, capability assessment and market analysis.
Janes up to date equipment profiles, including imagery, specifications and analysis, enable you to identify and differentiate between weapons, systems and variants and conduct critical all-source analysis and reporting. Janes specific, structured and consistent nomenclature and terminology and the ability to apply a range of data points including types, roles, specifications and operators in a guided manner, speeds data discovery by quickly narrowing the field of possible matches. Comparison tools enable you to identify the comparative and contextual capability of a weapon system or platform.

The state-owned China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) revealed in a 21 August announcement on its official WeChat social media account that its 716 Research Institute – also known as the Jiangsu Automation Research Institute (JARI) – has launched a new catamaran-hulled multirole unmanned surface vessel (USV).
A full-scale, production-ready example of the USV was recently shown docked at an undisclosed facility. Developed by JARI and CSIC’s 702 Research Institute – China Ship Scientific Research Centre (CSRRC) – the platform has been marketed as the JARI Multipurpose Unmanned Combat Boat at domestic and international defence exhibitions for several years.

Both research institutes are based in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu with JARI located in the north-eastern Lianyugang city, while CSSRC is positioned in the southern city of Wuxi.
CSIC has already conducted what it claims to be extensive laboratory and at-sea trials of the JARI USV design and its associated equipment and software prior to the latest launch event. It had previously showcased a technology demonstrator at the Airshow China 2018 exhibition in Zhuhai.
According to company specifications, the JARI USV displaces approximately 20 tonnes, is 15 m long, 4.8 m wide, and has a 1.8 m draft. A waterjet propulsion system enables it to achieve a claimed sprint speed and maximum operating range of 42 kt and 500 n miles, respectively.
