China's military plans to produce nearly 42,000 land-based and
sea-based unmanned weapons and sensor platforms as part of its
continuing, large-scale military buildup, the Pentagon's annual report
on the People's Liberation Army (PLA) disclosed Friday.
China currently operates several armed and unarmed drone aircraft and
is developing long-range range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both

systems, worth about $10.5 billion, between 2014 and 2023."
