Chinese scientists have successfully developed a groundbreaking new microwave weapon equipped with multi-beam focus technology. This advanced system merges multiple rays into a single point with ultra-precise synchronization, enabling precise targeting of objects. Resembling a laser cannon from the Star Wars Universe, this new weapon has already completed successful testing.
Comprised of multiple independent vehicles, the device generates and transmits microwave rays that can concentrate energy to deliver a powerful strike. Achieving this level of precision is crucial, with each transmitter requiring pinpoint accuracy within millimeters and the timing deviation between rays not exceeding 170 picoseconds – more accurate than atomic clocks on GPS satellites.
As part of the project, Chinese scientists have set a world record by achieving synchronization accuracy of 10 picoseconds over a distance of 1800 km using an optical network. A mobile team center coordinates the operation by analyzing data and issuing commands, with laser rangefinders crucial for pinpointing transmitter coordinates to the millimeter.
Tests have demonstrated the weapon’s capability to disrupt signals from GPS and other satellites effectively. The technology enhances the interaction of microwave rays, offering potential benefits for military training, equipment testing, and exercises. The specific capabilities and configurations of the system remain classified due to the project’s military importance.
While the weapon does not currently possess the power to destroy large objects like in movies, its ability to disrupt satellite operations presents new possibilities for controlling space. The development of this advanced microwave weapon represents a significant advancement in military technology, with implications for future space operations.
