Why Are U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers In China's Desert?

Ойын-сауық

China is building elaborate naval targets thousands of miles from the sea. It's all about anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs). A new category of weapon, these 'Carrier Killers' may give China an advantage in future wars.

    I might be biased, because this is my field, but this could be AI training to identify US ships in the future visually. Being able to do so at speed or realistic to battlefield conditions provides much better training data than anything simulated.

    Technically yes, and it wouldn't need to be US specific (how often would you have a friendly carriers that close to a target carrier) but it may be impered by weather conditions. It might have sensors and AI to avoid hitting an escort ship though or provide resistance to jamming and counter measures.

    I think you're overthinking that to be honest. With satellites, carrier battle groups are not hard to find. The target is literally the biggest ship in a co-ordinate set. There wouldn't really be an overfitting or misclassification problem here. This leaves aside that of you really did want this for training, you would want it moving to get a variety of angles and aspects for your training data -- but even that wouldn't allow for any lists or similar. Edit: to clarify, yes there would be AI training benefit, but I doubt these are exclusively for AI visual recognition training

    China has a rather busy sea traffic, not the safest environment to test AI guided ballistic missiles ... unless you'd tow those carrier sized targets far off but that's a bit unpractical. It's also a lot easier to safely monitor the impact on the ground as you just need basic sensors instead of having to use ships. Intelligence wise it's more of a side effect I think, but sure, also western forces would be very interested in tracking those missiles to develop possible early warning or interception capabilities which they can't do when those are tested inland.

    The US has used electro optical recognition in sub munitions for years now. The BLU-109 ( if I recall nomenclature correct) can be dropped over intertwined vehicles in combat. The submunition spins and scans the battle field below identifying targets. If it comes across a vehicle it compares the picture to its database. If it’s a U.S. vehicle it doesn’t fire but if it’s an enemy design, mainly soviet it fires. I’m assuming the missile is using radar and several other options, IR, optical, UV and even anti-radiation (radar and radio emissions) and comparing it to a previously uploaded database. I’m wondering if these could be a one hit kill weapon, if you watch a sink-ex ( sinking exercise) videos on older ships the US ships have taken tremendous amounts of punishment, and that’s just a stationary ship with no maneuvering, countermeasures or damage control parties working. Although new ships now are lucky to have thin armor compared to the behemoths we built in WW2.

    I believe you're talking about the skeet dropped by the BLU-108 and CBU-97/CBU-105 combination. I also don't think the BLU-108 does as much target recognition as you think. It has a laser rangefinder and a thermal sensor, and it recognizes targets by seeing if a target is the height of a tank (with the laser) and the temperature of a tank (with the thermal sensor). But I don't think the submunition does any more target analysis than that, and I don't think the thermal sensor has more than a handful of pixels. This simple design keeps the cost reasonable (probably ~$10K-20K per submunition) and the size small. AI image processing wasn't super amazing in 1992.

Infrared is similarly difficult as there's a glowing fireball in front of the heat seeker.

    Though I highly doubt they would do it this way, theoretically, the missile payload could consist of two parts, the primary steered impactor, and a secondary sensor portion that detaches near the terminal phase that then decelerates sufficiently to be able to sense and communicate in a forwards direction. That sub-payload would then direct the impactor with terminal guidance by communicating with it via it's rear, which has clear enough transmissibility through any reentry plasma. It is how the early cold war US short range nuclear tipped anti ballistic interceptor missiles were directed to their targets from ground stations, as they encountered the same issue as they accelerated to hypersonic speeds within seconds while in the thick low atmosphere, surviving only through ablative shielding on their noses.

    Yes. They no longer need airborne targeting systems. They can be sent to a particular areas to independently and selectively attack targets and not doubt prioritize them: hit a carrier of they see one otherwise a destroyer for example or large tanker depending upon how they are programmed for a misssion. Hmmm. (I doubt that they can change these mission parameters once in flight though.) I hope Uncle Sam is listening carefully and developing suitable countermeasures. I wonder if a destroyer could make itself look like a carrier with some kind of projected chaff at the last minute. hmmm.

    A few grey cells got together and produced a random thought about U.S. Navy and its autonomous boats. I was thinking that all of the VLS cells on manned ships would be defensive missiles, while the unmanned VLS boats would carry the offensive missiles. It's not a fully formed thought, I'm still trying to iron it out.

    Coming from the IT side, I find it fascinating to see that these real-world tests are employed to fine-tune autonumous guidance. I wonder how long it'll take to develop a reliable defense against these missiles... assuming such a missile comes plunging down from a parabolic trajectory and maneauvering, CIWS will be useless.... my money is on hypersonic anti-missile missiles or perhaps something more exotic. Loitering drones above a ship could do since they only have to brush the ASBM in order to disintegrate it. Railguns and lasers have been "20 years away" for about 50 years now... I just don't see energy weapons as viable in the near future.

    Aegis can shoot these down. These hypersonic missiles aren’t like the nuclear armed glide vehicles. These are ballistic missiles but need to slow down on retry to acquire a target. So their final dive isn’t much faster than an anti ship missile like granite. I think the angle these ballistic type anti ship missiles approach at is an issue for the anti missile system. I think that aegis system must be set specifically to look for ballistic missile style approaches. He said leave it to people in the comments to discuss these missiles. I’m not an expert.

    China's DF-21D and DF-26B anti-ship ballistic missiles can attack moving aircraft carriers, and the DF-17 hypersonic ballistic missile is the latest anti-ship missile. Since the beginning of this year, China has been equipped with the YJ-21 anti-ship hypersonic missiles of the carrier type and the airborne type. Therefore, China has now been equipped with land, sea and air hypersonic ballistic missiles. Last year, the US and Western media reported that China carried out a hypersonic vehicle in low orbit in space and launched a hypersonic missile from low orbit in space. This will be China's preliminary ability to conduct hypersonic missile attacks on sea to land without dead ends in a 360-degree four-dimensional space.

    Wouldn't a hypersonic vehicle have trouble employing other sensors like IR and optical? The vehicle would have to slow down in order to deploy sensors beyond it's heatshield or eject part or the shield in order to actually "see" anything. The aerodynamic heating at lower altitudes will he a huge problem for such weapons unless they slow to speeds that aren't that much of a problem for missile defenses. Unless...they're intending another sensor platform will give the glide vehicles updated targeting information? Maybe these mock-ups are not for terminal guidance testing of actual weapons but instead to improve the targeting platforms ability to find & track the carrier? 🤔
