Abstract

Manned submersible is an important technical means and equipment for deep sea entry, exploration, development, and protection, which represents the development frontier of the submersible technology. In this paper, the development status of the equipment and technology of deep-sea manned submersibles abroad is briefly described, and the development and application of the same in China are then reviewed. The three milestones for the development of deep-sea manned submersible technology in China are mainly introduced. Based on the development experience of manned submersibles named “Jiaolong” and “Deep-sea Warrior”, the deep-sea manned submersible technology system is formed in China. In the range of 4500–7000 m deep-sea diving, China’s manned deep diving technology has been at the international forefront in general, and has independent intellectual property rights. The idea of genealogical development of manned deep diving technology towards the whole ocean depth and the whole sea area has become clear. In the next 15 years, China should focus on consolidating and improving the operation ability, actively expanding the application field, constantly improving the level of intelligence, lightweight, heavy load, and cluster coordination, and carefully building the industrial chain, thus to become a powerful country in manned deep diving technology.
