Chinese Researchers Develop AI System to Track F-22 and F-35 Heat Signatures

Chinese researchers have developed a lightweight AI system that can identify heat signatures resembling those of F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters. The system boasts a recognition accuracy above 90 percent for simulated targets, potentially aiding in the detection of aircraft built around stealth technology. Unlike radar-based detection, the AI system focuses on analyzing heat produced by an aircraft’s engines, exhaust, and heated surfaces during flight. The F-22 and F-35 aircraft are designed to reduce their visibility to radar and other sensors, making detection and tracking challenging for adversaries. To combat this, the Chinese researchers claim their AI system can distinguish…
