China's Revolutionary Innovation Technology, Used to Detect Enemy Radar and Charge Fighter Planes
According to reports (social media), this innovative technology can be applied to stealth aircraft, enhancing their efficiency and lethality.
A report published by the Italian website "Chinare Economichi" highlights a new Chinese innovation that may redefine the nature of aerial combat: developing "smart surfaces" for fighter planes that can convert enemy radar waves into usable electrical energy.
The author of the report, Fabio Lugano, believes this technology represents a qualitative leap in modern military technology, which can be integrated into future sixth-generation (6G) networks, becoming an integrated site for communication, sensing, and energy collection.
A Simple Principle
The report states that the concept is based on an intelligent, reconfigurable surface made of thin reflective materials capable of instantly controlling and processing electromagnetic waves.
The author believes the principle of this technology is both simple and clever. Rather than relying entirely on traditional bulky and limited-capacity batteries, the system can collect energy from its surroundings.
The report emphasizes that China has not yet made any official statements about the application of this technology to operational aircraft, but its rapid development of military capabilities may enable this technology to move from theory to reality faster than Western countries expect.
Transport from the Enemy
The author points out that the most concerning aspect of this innovation is its potential integration with stealth aircraft. In practical applications, these smart surfaces can redirect and utilize enemy radar waves in two ways for fighter planes.
The first method is based on so-called "cooperative electromagnetic stealth," where a group of aerial platforms (such as fighter jets or drones) operate within an interconnected network, exchanging information to coordinate their actions, thereby scattering enemy radar waves and reducing the likelihood of detection.
At the same time, these smart surfaces allow the aircraft to operate autonomously, so radar signals emitted by the enemy to detect them actually become a means to help them hide and exchange information.
The author believes the significance of this technology is not limited to the military field; it can also be applied to civil communications and sixth-generation networks. This will reduce the cost of future networks, improve their efficiency, and open up new prospects for designing intelligent, autonomous networks.
