China has developed technology that significantly increases the ability to detect American F-22 stealth aircraft

Chinese scientists have developed technology for detecting American stealth aircraft that can amplify the extremely weak signals of not only the F-60 and F-22, but also the B-35, which has not yet entered service with the US Army, by 21 thousand times.

According to the South China Morning Post, last year China developed technology for detecting and locating stealth fighters in the infrared spectrum, which can detect F-22 aircraft at a distance of up to 300 kilometers. Thus, the technological capabilities of the US Air Force in the Western Pacific were significantly reduced.



Thanks to new Chinese technologies, it is possible to detect the F-22, considered one of the best stealth fighters in the world, whose frontal radar cross-section does not exceed one square centimeter. Leading American fighters are detected as soon as they enter visual range of infrared-guided missiles.

Thus, thanks to timely detection, American fighters are effectively deprived of the stealth ability to launch missiles or deploy glide bombs as they approach the theater of operations.

As stated in the relevant documentation, the new detection method makes it possible to cover an area of ​​about 63 thousand square kilometers with an error not exceeding 20 meters. No matter how the F-22 maneuvers, it will not be able to avoid being picked up by air defense radars.

      and what's so serious about it? Have the Chinese invented OLS again?
      I was especially pleased that the detection occurs at the range of capture of the IR seeker of missiles. If anything, the IR seeker is for short-range missiles (although there is a medium-range R-27T, but it is fired from an aircraft and only at the terminal section is the seeker used). that is, their IR seeker captures 300 km? I remembered how in the 90s they sold Chinese tape recorders with a player mechanism and there, like, the power of the speakers was 1000 watts, 2000 watts, 10000 watts, the same song. only now 300 km pmpo

        significantly increasing the ability to detect American F-22 stealth aircraft

        I realized that the detection range of "invisible" devices would increase. This may be possible with a significant improvement in the sensitivity of RET radio receivers and transmitter signal power.

    Thus, the technological capabilities of the US Air Force in the Western Pacific were significantly reduced.

    Thus, all this is Chinese bullshit until they actually check it. We also had statements that everything that flies will fall from electronic warfare almost to Kiev. As a result, after more than 2 years of war, there are swarms of drones in the air and strategic unmanned aircraft are quietly flying over the Black Sea scouts. All this training know-how is worthless.

      Compare the cost of manufacturing even an average UAV and an electronic warfare complex, the speed of production, the quantity required to cover the front line and border, the quantity at facilities in Russia, it is clear to everyone that drones launched from our territory by saboteurs also work, there are not so many electronic warfare complexes in the whole world, with air defense/missile defense systems it’s the same story

      They fly in international waters, and according to international standards, no one can prohibit them from doing so. Electronic warfare can disable communication with the operator, sometimes, but not always, suppress GPS. If the UAV flies in automatic mode, then this electronic warfare is of no use to it.

          But this is far from a fact. Typically, strategic intelligence officers, in addition to transmitting data in real time, also record information. If, with the help of REB, the communication signal is jammed, then in fact it only increases the time for data delivery before the UAV leaves the suppression zone, and if the control channel is suppressed, then Pin...dos after the landing of one UAV a couple of years ago installed an automatic return system to the airfield. Even if the GPS signal is suppressed, there is still an inertial control system on board and the UAV makes a turn home and control is restored over time. Unfortunately.

          ROFAR and IR are not connected in any way. ROFAR is essentially an optical radar where instead of electrons there are photons, but still on the same principle - radiation - reflection-reception of a reflected particle.

Everything follows the same principle, but in size and weight ROFAR is 2-3 times lighter and smaller than AFAR, and in sensitivity it is at least 10 times greater, and it gives out not a point, but a target outline

            I read about ROFAR, they really work in the optical range, they include a matrix of semiconductor lasers and a matrix of photodetectors, control of the beam direction - due to modulation and phase mismatch of signals in the matrix elements. Smaller antenna sizes are obtained through the use of optical fiber (the active elements are located outside the antenna). The connection with IR is caught in the fact that the carrier wavelength is 1,6 microns. Judging by the range of manufactured components (lasers and photodetectors), the damned Zakordons are in the lead; here in Baumanka they are also trying to do something, but I know how developments are carried out at universities - so I am very pessimistic. Well, from the physics of the work it is obvious that STEALTH technologies become useless when using ROFAR. I strongly doubt about 300 km. Humanities journalists trying to write articles on complex technical topics should be deprived of the right to write such articles for life!

                no, it doesn’t highlight anything (for the eyes, at least), 1,6 microns is the near-IR range, it works as a locator, but not on radio waves... and IR, and visible light, and radio waves are all electromagnetic radiation , just different frequencies (or wavelengths), and it is possible to make a locator at any of these waves, they are just starting to do it at such short waves, there are many technical problems, judging by the graph I found, 1,6 microns passes well through the atmosphere, but it is necessary, Of course, direct visibility beyond a horizontal location is most likely impossible.

                        No, the problem is not only in power, with the help of a tape measure it is impossible to obtain an image of the target, matrices of laser emitters, matrices of photodetectors are used, these matrices are connected to the antenna system by optical fiber and all this is quite difficult to control with the possibility of spatial scanning.

      I also noticed. Some nonsense from the author of the text.
      In fact, if we ignore the secret way to increase the sensitivity of the infrared sensor, the question remains. They say that it is possible to detect the enemy at 300 km. But it doesn't say from what height. But at the end they give the coverage area, and it is already closer to reality. If you place the aircraft at an altitude of 100 meters and the detector on a mast at +/- 15 meters, then we get just a control zone of ~60 km².
      It’s just that such a system will see the plane in line of sight. This is of course ideal.
      However, there is no talk of any 300 km from the ground (you need to raise the sensor higher). And the question remains about the supersensitivity of the sensor. Is it revolutionary, and will it really help against stealth, remains a question

        Articles are written by people who can speak well, but often do not understand what they are talking about.

        Any radiation from a body in all directions, if there is no resistance to the medium (even if there is not, otherwise the dependence is even stronger) falls along r^4 (r to the fourth power). Those. at a distance of 2 times the signal power will drop by 16 times, and if it is a reflected signal then by (2*r)^4 = 256 times.
        Those. We won’t see it with a super-cool device at a distance of 300 km, but we’ll definitely see it at a distance of 100 km.
        And the article is a typical advertisement
        one of the best stealth fighters in the world, the F-22, whose frontal radar cross-section does not exceed one square centimeter.

        And as a side view, top left. Clearly, the less visible the better, but what price should you pay for it?
        Let's remove the tail unit from the plane, the speed and range will increase, but what about takeoff/landing, how about maneuver?
        The left article, here ordered by Israel, bought the F-35, now we need to show that if the F-22 is cool, then so is the multiplied iron, or is it the penguin?

          To the second degree. You are confusing it with active radar, when the target is irradiated by the radar and then receives the reflected signal, i.e. the radio wave first passes from the antenna to the target, and then from the target to the antenna, then the fourth degree is actually obtained.

As a result, the algorithm they created for processing the g/a signal (bare mathematics! even with our poor technology) works wonders... absolutely silent boats become visible! Yankees in a..u..e!

    All such statements by the Chinese should be treated with some skepticism. “Technology developed” can mean a lot of things - for example, that they filed a patent based on a certain principle, but all this is not embodied in the metal and the workability and effectiveness of the solution “in the form” has not been proven.
    Also, in my opinion, there is some kind of murky duality in such statements - it is not clear what exactly they have developed - a gadget for radars capable of identifying and tracking targets like the F-22, or IR sensors capable of detecting it at considerable distances.
    If we are talking about IR sensors, then I have no idea how it is possible to detect a target in the frontal projection with “tail” radiation, especially with technologies for reducing the exhaust temperature, deepening the nozzle and various tricks that reduce IR even from the most visible areas - at designated distances. Even from the side or below this will be a problem, and at much greater distances. Sensors of similar qualities will be illuminated to death by the sun, heat reflected from water or clouds, and air convection currents - if we are really talking about sensors capable of detecting the IR range of such a weak source at such distances.

    If we are talking about radars, then absolute “stealth” did not exist - the problems of detecting and tracking it were solved before - including through the interfacing of several radar installations into a network with processing and exchange of information. In this case, it is possible to determine the characteristic features of the movement of an object with low RCS and unambiguously determine it through this.
    However, all this will work in an exclusively active mode and, therefore, countering this means removing radar capacities (or at least disrupting their complex), for which the Americans have the means.
    In short, let’s hear what happens next on this topic, for now it looks more like another Chinese duck..

    If we remember... a qualitative leap in the issue of the effectiveness of radio coating was given not only by new methods of scanning space, but also by the use of digital technologies in the process of decoding and analyzing the received signal, information, i.e.
    They talk a lot about AI, but the creation/use of a high-performance computing complex, specialized algorithms, processing/analysis algorithms, can add efficiency in controlling the air, and indeed any other space/environment!
    I’m sure this topic is developing at full speed, but they talk about it a lot/publicly, it doesn’t matter anymore.
