Chinese Scientists Build a 6G Weapon System
Chinese researchers built a system that uses 6G as a weapon. They show that the tool can stop fighter jets and break their links. The breakthrough can shift modern war tactics.
Advances in Signal Work
The study in Acta Optica Sinica shows the system uses a new radio signal process. The method works with modern radar and stops enemy calls. The system sends many false signals to trick pilots in high-tech jets like the US F-35. The tool also works as a communication device. The same unit sends large amounts of data fast. It can run sending and stopping signals at one frequency at once, a new step in this field.
The Next Step in 6G Networks
6G is the next step in fast networks. It sends data more quickly, works with less delay, and can move more data than 5G. Some estimates point to rates near 100 gigabits per second. The delay may fall to less than one millisecond, making it much faster than 5G.
A key part of this work uses microwave-photonic systems. These systems mix light and electrical signals to work on radio frequencies. One tool, the microwave photonic filter, is seen as useful for strong radio signal work.
Connected microwave filter sets get more attention for their small size, adjustability, and low power use. Rather than work on one task, these systems can send data at high speed and rebuild signals with little loss. They also fight off stray noise while running several tasks at once.
What This Means and What is Next
The study calls the device a mix of signal storage, jamming, and sending in one small unit. This new design marks a move in next-gen war technology.
The team sees a tough gap: keeping the system simple while adding new work. Their next goal is to shrink the device more and cut power use while keeping the signals strong and clear.
This work shows China holds a top spot in 6G tech. The country holds the most patents in the field. As many countries work on new networks for both civilian and defense use, the progress marks a rising contest in war tech.
In short, the use of this advanced system can reshape global military power. It also brings up key points about safety and the shape of future electronic battles.
