Chinese military AI detects secret radar links between South China Sea, Alaska and Guam

Scientists say electromagnetic signals suggest tactical coordination among radars deployed across Pacific Ocean


By Stephen Chen in Beijing  Published: 10:00am, 16 Aug 2024  https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3274610/chinas-military-ai-detects-secret-radar-links-between-south-china-sea-alaska-and-guam


Chinese electronic warfare AI has detected mysterious signals that repeatedly show up in the South China Sea, Guam, the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands near Alaska – and they appear to be coordinated.

Scientists involved in the investigation say that the characteristics of these electromagnetic signals suggest the existence of tactical coordination among military radars deployed in these areas across the Pacific Ocean.

This is the first time the People’s Liberation Army has publicly showed its ability to gather electronic warfare intelligence around the globe based on specific targets and actual reconnaissance data, according to the researchers.

The operational range of China’s naval and air forces in the Pacific has expanded from the South China Sea to Alaska and the US territory of Guam – a key spot on the second island chain under Washington’s strategy to contain China.

Meanwhile, the Marshall Islands, in the central Pacific, are home to the US military’s most powerful space surveillance radar.

China and its competitors engaged in electronic confrontation every day around the globe, said the research team led by Zhou Changlin of the Strategic Support Forces Information Engineering University. They published their findings in a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Terahertz Science and Electronic Information Technology in May.

These events generate a large amount of signal data, including information on time, frequency, location, and electromagnetic parameters, Zhou and his colleagues wrote.

This data, which can be collected by warships, aircraft and satellites, has grown rapidly in terms of volume and complexity in recent years.

Traditional analysis methods have not been fast or accurate enough to meet the Chinese military’s intelligence data mining needs, according to the researchers.

Zhou and team have built a data processing platform, based on artificial intelligence algorithms, that enables massive data analysis and intelligence extraction to provide precise and customised services for combat units.

The AI system can analyse historical signals filled with noise and uncertainty to identify patterns of electronic tactical coordination among different types of radars belonging to different countries at various locations.

The paper lists some events that the AI considers to be correlated and provides their geographical coordinates.

This information helps the Chinese military better plan electronic warfare tasks such as electromagnetic suppression, deception, and jamming.

Zhous team says that the AI could also identify unknown types of radars, accurately guess their confidential operating parameters and even predict the future deployment of foreign naval fleets.

The electronic warfare AI works with other intelligence platforms, such as imaging satellites, to cross-check its findings.

Human experts have also played an important role in fine-tuning the AI model parameters, according to the Zhou team.

PLA electronic warfare equipment has made rapid progress in recent years, and its electronic warfare strategy has become proactive, while the United States sometimes finds itself on the defensive.

Last month, Chinese and Russian warships, along with strategic bombers, appeared in the waters near Alaska, while another set of Chinese and Russian vessels reportedly approached Guam, home to the largest US military base in the western Pacific.

The US Navy destroyer USS Rafael Peralta said on its official Facebook page that the ship (quote) protected Guam during the Chinese and Russian deployment.

However, the US Navy subsequently deleted the statement and described its interaction with Chinese and Russian warships as safe and professional, according to a Newsweek report on Monday.

The propaganda machinery has to be settled by an trusted advance AI network. How? I know the fake main media objectives in promoting their deep Dark agenda.

China is capable of sinking any US submissions without warnings, that is a good thing.

I saw on YouTube shorts that China had a laser canon, is what it is called, used for chopping down tree branches in about 2 seconds, you just need to aim the laser and fire. Off comes the branch falling towards the ground. The cut was really sharp just as if a worker climbed a ladder and chopped the branch off with an axe except that in this case the branch on one end was clearly charred. About 5 inches in diameter. Just as if the light beam went through the branch in about 1 second. Such a weapon can easily defeat multiple drones. The beam was over 20 feet long. From the ground to the spot on branch about 25 feet. Anyway it seemed alright to keep the beam on without losing energy. You just wiggle the handle it would have chopped all nearby obstructions

Clarity :.
In 2007 shocked the military world - especially the US - by shooting down one of its own satellites which showed a capability no one thought it had. What was even more shocking for the US was that the satellite in question was about the size of a fridge. Basically, China was sending the message that if it can hit one of its own satellites with such ease...

The world now has a chance at lasting peace with China able to see and hear what the other side is doing.  Its not good to have jut one dominant force.  there should always be a balancing force.

@Juancho Y. Dont try to change history - Japan invaded China in 1937 - USA didnt attack Japan until it was attacked during Pearl Harbour in 1941! Nobody helped China against Japan until they themselves were harmed! Should Nvidia thank its investors for buying its stocks or should investors be thankful they got a nice return from their investment? I certainly didnt get any thanks from Huang.

@Juancho Y. If you want to bring up the history of China , I can share with you how China was torned into pieces and made to compensate an amounts equivalent to few years of GDP when it lost the wars to 8 invaders and colonisers in the last 150 years. China was impoverished by these huge and unfair compensations .This 150 years of humiliation will not be forgotten. China learned a big lesson. When you are too weak, the big powers including USA, Japan, Britain , Russia , France, Italy and Belgium will bully and take advantages of you. China has to strengthen its economy and military further to avoid a repeat of such humiliation.
