China Develops AI and Magnetic Detection to Track Submarines

China Develops AI and Magnetic Detection to Track Submarines

China is creating new ways to find submarines, which have been hidden for a long time.

One way is using AI, like a smart commander that uses data from many sensors to find subs.

This AI system could make it so that only 1 out of 20 submarines could avoid being found.

Another way is by tracking 'magnetic wakes' - the faint magnetic fields left behind by submarines in the water.

This is different from current sound based detection.

These new methods could make submarines less stealthy.
