The essence of stealth technology is to reduce visibility in the radar and infrared ranges. Effect
Radar waves emitted by e.g.transmitter of an anti-aircraft missile system, are reflected from the outer surface of the aircraft and are received by the radar station - this is radar signature.
Conventional radars have a fixed ora spinning dish, but the design of quantum radar is more like a gun and accelerates electrons to almost the speed of light. According to the report, after passing through a winding tube that is exposed to strong magnetic fields, the electrons can generate a microwave vortex. He, in turn, moves forward like a horizontal tornado.
If the project is successfully completed, a newa quantum radar system will surpass any previously created. However, much work remains to be done before a successful prototype can be created, said Zhang Chao of Tsinghua University.
Fundamental particles used in thisartificial electromagnetic storm, will exhibit strange properties, the authors of the development added. In the study, each particle maintained a spiral momentum that did not decrease with time and distance. Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that this is physically impossible. However, the researchers emphasized that “quantum mechanics bypasses the theories of deceased physicists,” allowing the system to detect targets that conventional radar would never see. The study authors emphasized that quantum detection technologies will not be hampered by problematic weather conditions.
If the system really works and willimplemented in contested airspace, it will be an advantage for the Chinese Air Force. Even today, most aircraft cannot hide their signature from radar because they reflect electromagnetic waves. Stealth aircraft, such as the US F-22 Raptor or F-35 fighter jets, for example, absorb most of the radar waves using a special coating material.
However, Interesting Engineering notes that thisThis is not the first time that researchers in China have announced the development of a functional quantum radar. At the same time, many experts from other countries dispute the very possibility of creating such detection devices.
