On the heels of its first aircraft carrier arriving in a northeastern homeport, China is already setting its sights on developing a next-generation flat-top complete with electromagnetic (EM) catapult technology, University of California (UC) researchers told a defence industry conference on 7 March.
Following the completion of an extensive rebuild programme, aircraft carrier Liaoning was handed over to the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) on 25 September 2012. The 59,439-tonne vessel was purchased from Ukraine and is a Kuznetsov-class ship with a ski jump to launch aircraft.
"China calls it a useful training ship, a useful research and development [R&D] ship," Tai Ming Cheung, director of the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), told the Pacific Operational S&T conference in Honolulu, Hawaii.
With aspirations of becoming a maritime power, China wants to build a next-generation carrier from scratch in its domestic shipyards and it is investing funds in R&D to achieve electromagnetic catapult technology.
"They don't want an aircraft carrier that uses ski jumps. That's not considered a world-class carrier," said Cheung, whose IGCC is overseeing the Minerva Project on the Study of Innovation and Technology in China, a five-year effort funded by the US Department of Defense (DoD).
