What’s inside:
China is revolutionizing fighter jets with new technology that could change the game.
China is working on a groundbreaking technology for fighter jets that could transform how they operate in battlefields. Instead of hiding from enemy radars, Chinese scientists are focusing on using radar as a weapon and a source of power. This new technology, called Electromagnetic Cooperative Stealth, aims to change the way fighter jets, stealth systems, and upcoming 6G technology function.
The Xidian University in China is leading this research, introducing the concept of utilizing radar waves for energy conversion. This means fighter jets could potentially power themselves using radar waves while flying, eliminating the need for fuel or recharging during flight.
The development of this technology could lead to more efficient and secure military systems, saving costs and space by integrating communication, radar, and energy functions into a single system.
Researchers believe that the future of technology like 6G will involve integrating radar, sensing, and communication systems. This innovative approach could revolutionize how signals are controlled and utilized in various military systems like drones and fighter jets, enhancing their performance and capabilities.
By combining radar and sensing capabilities, this new system could potentially harness wireless energy in the air, enabling self-sustaining power sources for both larger aircraft and smaller devices. This technology could pave the way for advanced sensor networks and autonomous systems in the future.
