A recently developed Chinese radar can detect submarines at record speeds via radio-emitting drones.
The drones emit radiowaves that travel at almost the speed of light. Then, the signal bounces off underwater vessels and returns to the radar at roughly the same speed.
As a result, the radar can detect submarines at astonishing speeds, allowing the Chinese military to react quickly to naval threats.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said most radars function by transmitting signals that bounce off objects.
Then, the signals travel back to the radar, enabling it to calculate an object’s location, movement, size, and speed.
The Chinese radar takes this technology to the next level by deploying drones that emit radiowaves in the sky.
