Chinese researchers say they have developed AI to predict course of hypersonic missiles


Scientists from the Air Force Early Warning Academy say the technology can foresee the course of glide weapons travelling at more than five times the speed of sound. The world’s leading powers are racing to develop hypersonic weapons and it is thought that existing technology will not be able to stop them. — SCMP

Chinese military researchers say they have developed an artificial intelligence technology that can estimate the the course of a hypersonic glide missile as it homes in on a target at more than five times the speed of sound.

An air defence system powered by AI can estimate the incoming weapon’s potential kill trajectory and initiate a counter response with a three-minute lead time, according to the researchers.
