China develops alleged anti-stealth radar

Plus: Centuries-old 'hunger stones' resurface in worst drought in 500 years Aug 19, 2022 [Blueprint]( If you’re thinking of being stealthy, think again. Chinese scientists have allegedly [developed an anti-stealth radar]( that could be quietly and easily set up almost anywhere – as in, even on a rooftop. Anti-stealth radar systems often need a big antenna to pick up the weak signature of stealth planes that use technology to block or deflect radar signals. This new compact system could prove to be revolutionary, and dangerous. But before you get lost in all things radar, direct your thoughts towards [this video]( which compares the burnability of different fire insulation materials. It is both scary and fascinating. Good morning. I’m Alice, an Editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s dive in. Last Sunday, Blueprint subscribers heard an exclusive interview with one of the scientists behind MIT’s faster boiling water breakthrough. And this week, premium subscribers hear from leading experts from around the world discuss whether animals go through break-ups.

It was created by Yang Minglei and his colleagues at the national laboratory of radar signal processing at Xidian University, Xi’an. In 2013, Wu Jianqia, lead scientist in the military's anti-stealth radar program, claimed that Chinese radar systems could detect and track American F-22 jets, which are thought to be the most advanced and potent stealth fighters in the world, flying several hundred kilometers off the Chinese coast. Researchers say that in several tests done on top of a building on a university campus, this mobile device did better than its predecessor for both accuracy and range of detection. → China has a complex air defense system that includes anti-stealth radar stations, especially along the South China Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean coasts.
