The device found in Gili Trawangan, West Nusa, Tenggara, Indonesia, by Indonesian fishermen on Apr 6 is a 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗦𝗲𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 developed by the 🇨🇳 710 Research Institute, part of state-owned 🇨🇳 China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), now merged into 🇨🇳 China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). The waters where it was found is near the strategically important Lombok Strait, a natural chokepoint connecting the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Java Sea.  🇨🇳 710 Research Institute focuses on underwater attack and defense. The “Deep-Sea Real-Time Transmission Mooring System” was tested at least as early as 2016 by the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It reportedly achieved 190 days of real-time transmission of deep-sea data in the Western Pacific. It is possibly manufactured by Qingdao Haishan Marine Technology Co Ltd (unconfirmed). The system can be emplaced in waters between 200m and 4,000m deep. The device is moored by an anchor on the sea floor, connected by lines through bull-nose rings at either end of the body. The device found is the main sensor body which is essentially a moored buoy (referred to in texts as the ‘mother buoy’) which floats between 80m and 300m below the surface. In one example it floated at 140m below the surface. The main sensor package includes: • 2 x Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for measuring the current • 1 x Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor • 1 x Acoustic sensor for gathering sound and target information  It can remain operational for up to 12 months using internal batteries. To communicate with base it can release tethered (reusable) or untethered (single use) communications buoys which float to the surface. These are arranged on its back. It appears, based on a cursory review of the imagery, that the one found is missing a couple of these buoys suggesting that it has been transmitting to base. These buoys enable real-time data transfer from underwater instruments to satellites. It is likely concerning to Indonesian authorities that a Chinese sensor buoy has been found in the area. It suggests that China may have a network of these sensors providing real-time information on underwater conditions in the strategic waterways which would aid their submarine operations. Previously numerous Chinese underwater gliders have also been found. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-1… hisutton.com/Chinese-Moored…
