China is working on an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered targeting system for high-speed torpedoes, designed to help them tell real submarines apart from decoys.
Early tests suggest the system, developed by the PLA Navy Armament Department and China State Shipbuilding Corporation, can distinguish real targets from decoys with an average accuracy of 92.2 percent, according to a study published in the Chinese-language journal Command Control & Simulation.
If deployed, the system could make China’s fast-moving torpedoes harder to fool, pushing past a rising tide of underwater detection tactics, such as acoustic illusions and decoy swarms.
