China is rapidly advancing an “AI Plus” revolution in
electronic warfare
to redefine how militaries communicate, jam and dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, according to industrial experts.
In a paper published last month, they argued that by fusing artificial intelligence (AI) with the very physics of radio wave propagation, China could win a “new form of war” where communications and radars are faster, smarter and far more resilient than anything fielded today.
Their findings were published in the Chinese journal Command Control and Simulation on April 29.
The team is led by senior engineer Li Fukai with the China Academy of Electronics and Information Technology and the National Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, top-tier defence research and development institutes directly involved in national strategic programmes.
For decades, electronic warfare has been about
jamming
, spoofing and intercepting signals. But in an era where drones swarm and hypersonic missiles dictate the action, traditional methods are struggling to cope with the chaos of dynamic, unpredictable signal environments…

Following on from many successful terrestrial and
space based 6G trials
– including the use of 6G to help
create better hypersonic weapons
– scientists in
China
have developed a groundbreaking new
electronic warfare weapon
that utilizes
6G
technology. The researchers behind the project claim that the advanced weapon, which utilizes a next-generation signal processing mechanism, is much more powerful than modern military
radars

Researchers in China say they have developed a radar system that allows broadcasters to remain radio silent.
The technology could allow high speed military communication without being intercepted, jammed or targeted by missiles, according to the team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute in China.
One expert told
the
South China Morning Post
(SCMP)
which reported the findings, that the system was like "telepathy" which could change how wars are fought.
