Laser detection of stealth F-35 from 61 km
The Chinese study highlights the development of a non-radar laser system capable of detecting and tracking stealth aircraft such as the F-35 from a distance of up to 61.5 kilometers at night, using single-photon lidar technology that relies on measuring reflected light instead of traditional radar. The model indicates that the system can achieve high accuracy, but its effectiveness in field conditions or within operational missile environments has not yet been demonstrated. The technology faces challenges such as the impact of weather conditions and the narrower laser beam compared to the wide field of radar. The study underscores China's move toward non-radar methods for tracking stealth aircraft, with ongoing research aimed at improving performance and developing similar technologies in the future.
