People's Daily reported on September 25, 2018 that the Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology in Jiangsu province, a major State-owned defense contractor, has designed and built a cutting-edge quantum radar which will eventually be able to detect stealth aircraft from great distances. The institute has been working with the University of Science and Technology of China and Nanjing University along with other research partners in carrying out field tests of the radar's prototype, and has extensively improved its accuracy and sensitivity. The radar is still undergoing tests and is more like a prototype demonstration of future capabilities. Sun said, adding that future versions will have better anti-stealth properties. "The characteristics of quantum radar include high reliability, accuracy and viability in sophisticated electromagnetic environments. It also has good mobility that will allow it to be mounted on multiple kinds of carriers," the senior engineer said. "It has resolved traditional radar difficulties in terms of handling stealth targets and surviving enemy countermeasures." Researchers from PLA National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, Hunan province say quantum radars can also be adopted in missile defense and space exploration in the future. They will revolutionize radar arsenals.
