Class of amphibious assault ship

The Type 076 landing helicopter dock is a planned class of Chinese amphibious assault ship.[5] Compared to the Type 075, the Type 076 is expected to have an electromagnetic catapult and arresting gear for operating fixed-wing aircraft, likely unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV).[4]

Development

In mid-2020, official request for proposals (RFP) associated with the Type 076 were discovered on the Internet. Specifications from the RFPs were for a 21 MW gas turbine and diesel powerplants, a medium-voltage direct current integrated power system, and a well deck. The specified aviation equipment included a "UAV deck", a munition elevator, a 30-ton flight deck elevator, an electromagnetic CATOBAR system for light aircraft, most likely UCAVs.[4]

Design

H. I. Sutton of the Forbes believes the Type 076 will have a full-length flight deck.[3] The ship will likely operate helicopters and UCAVs;[5][4][3] the Hongdu GJ-11 and Flying Dragon-2 UCAVs may be candidates.[3] A well deck may also be included.[4]
