In the arms race, China, Russia and the United States are fighting for military supremacy in the world. Drones, tanks and ultra-modern rockets are repeatedly presented in order to make optimal use of new technologies in the armaments sector. And with each step they manage to overcome a hurdle that previously prevented them from moving forward. Beijing has also developed a hypersonic magnet cannon, which Washington has resisted.
The world we live in is increasingly fueled by technology and largely works on all the services it offers us. Work, education, health or any other aspect of life is already there technological influence. Of course, the military sector has also been influenced by technology in recent decades. The US and China are the ones who lead and compete hand in hand in technological development, although others like Russia and North Korea follow close behind.
According to the South China Morning Post China has managed to build a magnetic cannon capable of firing projectiles at supersonic speeds and hundreds of kilometers away, with a capability to inflict damage never before seen. A device that the USA had already proposed developing in line with the Pentagon’s wishes, but decided to give up in 2021 due to the very high production costs.
China thus managed to find the key by using, as expected: Artificial intelligence. Thanks to the AI ​​system built into the cannon, it is possible to simultaneously analyze and collect enormous amounts of data about the condition of the weapon and make decisions regarding its situation.
The researchers have already explained that the AI ​​​​has already saved this weapon in the tests carried out During the tests, there were no failures in the last fifty shots fired.
