Abstract：The underwater preset weapon is an innovative underwater unmanned combat weapon with subversive combat capa-bilities.It can carry mission payloads such as missiles,torpedoes,drones,and unmanned underwater vehicles.It can be placed in the waters near strategic routes and important islands and reefs,and be secretly deployed to the deep sea space in advance to remote-ly wake up during wartime and perform various combat tasks such as strike,reconnaissance,detection,communication,and inter-ference.This paper collates the open source information about underwater prepositioned weapons and equipment in recent years to understand their performance characteristics.From the perspective of unmanned warfare and system operations,this paper analyzes the possible development trend of the weapons and equipment in the future and four key technologies that need to be studied,such as underwater communication and communication networking technology,long-range weapon activation technology,energy self-sustaining and replenishment technology,and anti-corrosion technology.It provides reference for the research of underwater preset weapon.
