A recent test in China has highlighted what may be the world’s first AI-powered radar system for a military aircraft. Early reports suggest the experimental system demonstrated exceptional performance under conditions that typically disrupt conventional radar. Onboard an undisclosed aircraft, the AI-enhanced radar maintained almost flawless target tracking, even when exposed to advanced jamming techniques…
During rehearsals for Beijing’s upcoming military parade, a previously unseen unmanned surface vessel drew attention, underscoring the increasing role of drone technology in China’s naval ambitions. Photos and video shared online show the vessel being moved on a heavy-duty semi-trailer, offering a rare close-up view of its design. The craft appears to incorporate several stealth-oriented…
Chinese researchers have reportedly developed a new electronic warfare (EW) system that can simultaneously interfere with enemy systems while keeping friendly ones untouched in a ‘null zone’. Likened to the eye of a storm, this new technology represents a significant shift in conventional EW systems. To help conceptualize how it works, think of a storm….
To significantly improve the warfare decision-making, the British Army has launched a new digital targeting system called ASGARD, which stands for Autonomous Strike Guidance and Reconnaissance Device. This system aims to help soldiers find, target, and eliminate enemy forces more quickly. ASGARD has already passed successful tests in the field with NATO forces in Estonia….
Chinese scientists have developed a high-speed infrared sensor inspired by the fire beetle. This breakthrough could one day power a new generation of surveillance systems, potentially outmatching the US military’s planned “Golden Dome” missile defense shield. Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with Tongji University, say…
Chinese researchers are working on a new superalloy cooling technique that could significantly improve the performance and lifespan of high-temperature turbine engine parts. This development could have important effects on China’s next-generation military aviation programs. According to China’s state-run Science and Technology Daily, the innovation may be a critical step toward enabling advanced jet engines,…
In a move to minimize dependency on foreign software amid increasing sanctions from the West, particularly the US, China has successfully tested an indigenously-developed operating system in space. After launching into the orbit, the Dalian-1 Lianli CubeSat spent over 1,000 hours testing satellite subsystems powered by OpenHarmony real-time operating system (RTOS)—a streamlined, light-weight, open-source version…
Chinese scientists have made a breakthrough in submarine detection by creating a radio-emitting source in the sky using high-energy microwave synthesis technology. This virtual signal source, which can be called a ghost radar, can emit electromagnetic waves continuously while traveling at nearly the speed of light. The scientists made this claim in a study published…
New images and videos have materialized that appear to show what is believed to be the latest iteration of China’s so-called Caihong-7 (CH-7) Long-Endurance Drone uncrewed combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). Seen taxiing on a runway sporting a light-yellow paint scheme, these images, if true, could indicate the drone is close to completion. Various images of…
