00:00Welcome to security newsroom, folks. Today we will talk about an incredible story that got

00:13little attention. It was encounter between US and Chinese naval forces in South China Sea.

00:18So, let's start. The Chinese scientists have introduced what they term intelligent radar,

00:24a concept that appears to take shape of sensor fusion to an advanced level.

00:28It involves multiple radar systems with varying capabilities working in unison to create a

00:33comprehensive information that can be termed as battlespace picture. What sets this apart is the

00:38integration of advanced computing power and the use of artificial intelligence to analyze and

00:44identify targets and patterns with much greater accuracy than traditional methods. While AI-driven

00:50signal processing might not seem revolutionary, since it's an area being explored globally by

00:55advanced militaries like USA, UK, France and Russia. This Chinese approach however is based upon

01:01concept that requires significantly more processing power compared to conventional systems.

01:07This story emerged about when Chinese ship Nanchong continued to track EA-18 Growler of US Navy having

01:12ability to make electronic attack that disrupts tracking radars. However, in this case Chinese

01:18radars were still able to detect and track Growler. According to available technologies and tactics,

01:25it could be done through what is called as frequency hopping spread spectrum, FHSS. That is rapidly changing

01:31the carrier frequency of the signal in a pseudorandom sequence that only the intended receiver knows.

01:36In this case it seems Growler never knew. The other method is direct sequence spread spectrum,

01:42DSSS, spreading the signal across a wide frequency band, making it harder for a jammer to concentrate

01:47its power effectively. This is where multiple band radars work in conjunction and powerful computer

01:53assesses the incoming signals from every type of beam. Another way is called adaptive filtering.

01:59It includes dynamically adjusting receiver settings to focus on the legitimate signal while filtering out

02:04the jammer. There is also a process called power control and beamforming. Enhancing the signal to noise

02:10ratio through directional transmission or varying power levels. A notable breakthrough mentioned

02:15here is the ability to maintain jam-resistant, high-speed data communications between multiple

02:20ships, forming a kill web. This concept is similar to the network-centric warfare model that was developed

02:26by the US, where every platform and sensor devices, weapon, or command unit acts as a node in a network.

02:32The aim is to transition from linear kill chains, where one commander authorizes a missile launch,

02:37to networked kill chains, where multiple ships and systems interact seamlessly, allowing for faster and

02:43more adaptable targeting. In this new model, targeting, decision-making, weapon deployment,

02:49and guidance can all be managed by different nodes in the network at varying times. And even in real time,

02:55this distributed approach makes the kill web much harder to disrupt than traditional linear chains.

03:01As the entire process is no longer dependent on a single decision-making unit.

03:05This development shows that China has made significant strides in achieving cooperative engagement.

03:11It is a capability previously demonstrated in the air domain, such as between the J-20 stealth fighter

03:16jet and airborne early warning and control systems. Now, it seems the Chinese navy has joined the ranks,

03:24leveraging this capability to enhance their operational effectiveness. One example is the Nanchang ship,

03:30which reportedly used this technology to counter a jamming attempt by a USEA-18 Growler electronic

03:36attack aircraft. According to an interview with the Nanchang's commander, it was revealed that the

03:41ship separated from its formation to advance ahead when the Growler began jamming its systems.

03:47Despite the jamming, other ships in the fleet continued to track and target the aircraft.

03:52The Nanchang's radar was able to reacquire the Growler despite the interference.

03:56Demonstrating the resilience of this kill web technology, this story aligns with credible

04:01reports, though the US has not publicly acknowledged the incident. The disciplinary action against the

04:07commander of the known VAQ-136 Growler squadron may be connected to this event. Especially if the

04:13aircraft's actions led to the loss of sensitive intelligence and especially the signature of

04:18electronic attack. It would be an important loss as next time Chinese will be aware electronic pulse

04:23launched by EA-18 Growler and the way it was executed that is the tactics and techniques.

04:29If Chinese were able to record the tactics, the counter-tactics can be developed.

04:33The episode raises questions about the broader implications of the US

04:38military's response and how it handles incidents of this nature. Overall, this incident highlights

04:43the speed at which the Chinese military is adopting and refining cutting-edge technologies.

04:47Rapidly closing the gap with US technological advantages. As said by one expert if I were

04:53a US commander, I'd be closely monitoring these developments. As they signal a significant shift

04:59in naval warfare dynamics and technology-based tactics. The Chinese are not only matching US

05:05capabilities but also challenging the edge that the US. Once held in areas like radar fusion,

05:11AI-powered targeting and network warfare. For more such videos and security analysis do subscribe and share
