China has developed a radar with AI for fighter jets: detection accuracy 99%.

Effectiveness of the technology

During the flight of an unnamed aircraft, conventional radars proved to be less efficient: contact with the target was lost in about 25% of cases. In contrast, the AI-based radar increased accuracy to over 99%. This was a real breakthrough, said lead project staff member Zhang Jie, describing the success as 'the beginning of a paradigm shift in radar design'.

Challenges with AI integration

Developers emphasized that implementing artificial intelligence onboard fighter jets has always been challenging due to space, power, and processing constraints. However, the tests conducted show that these issues could be overcome. The new technology works on the basis of adaptability: it instantly reacts to obstacles by changing frequency, beam direction, and waveform, as if water flows around a stone. In the event of a tactical change by the enemy, the system can adjust in milliseconds.

Possibilities and perspectives

An aerospace expert in Beijing remarked that if this radar demonstrates its efficiency in real combat conditions, China could gain a significant electronic advantage over its opponents. The technology also has potential for civilian applications. For example, it could be used in 'smart cities,' where disturbances arise due to overload of the electromagnetic spectrum, which can disable drones and autonomous vehicles. The new radar is capable of solving these problems.

The development of the radar-based system on artificial intelligence marks an important step in China's military technologies. If the tests continue to demonstrate resilience and reliability under real combat conditions, this could significantly strengthen the Chinese army in its fight against modern threats. Moreover, the potential of this technology for civilian purposes opens new horizons for its implementation in areas where autonomous systems are becoming increasingly necessary. This could significantly change the way 'smart cities' and other infrastructure facilities operate.
