China is rapidly advancing an “AI Plus” revolution in electronic warfare to redefine how militaries communicate, jam and dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, according to industrial experts.In a paper published last month, they argued that by fusing Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the very physics of radio wave propagation, China could win a “new form of war” where communications and radars are faster, smarter and far more resilient than anything fielded today.Their findings were published in the Chinese journal Command Control and Simulation on April 29.

Briefing Summary
AI-generatedNEWSAR · AI
Industrial experts have reported that China is significantly advancing its electronic warfare capabilities through an "AI Plus" revolution. This strategy aims to transform military communication, jamming, and control of the electromagnetic spectrum. According to a paper published in the Chinese journal Command Control and Simulation on April 29, China is integrating artificial intelligence with the physics of radio wave propagation. Experts suggest this fusion could lead to a "new form of war" characterized by faster, smarter, and more resilient communication and radar systems than currently exist.
