China is working on a jammer to send missiles after ‘ghost’ fleet of warships
In a naval combat simulation conducted by Chinese researchers, an anti-ship missile targets a fleet of eight People’s Liberation Army warships showing on its radar.
But it is not an armada – it is just a single vessel.
Four electronic warfare devices circling the ship created the illusion, sending signals that could deceive even an advanced radar from a distance.
It was developed by a team from the Beijing Research Institute of Telemetry, an aerospace defence contractor.
They detailed the “unprecedented” technology in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese-language Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics on February 28.
Their study suggested that networked 1-bit jammers could be used to trick enemy missiles into pursuing “ghost” fleets while the real warships avoided the radar entirely.
