China develops AI missile system to identify F-22, F-35 stealth fighters, claims over 90 percent accuracy

Chinese researchers claim they have developed a lightweight AI system that can identify U.S. F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters by analysing infrared heat signatures, recording more than 90 percent recognition accuracy in laboratory conditions. The study focuses on infrared signals rather than radar cross-section and also aims to distinguish aircraft from flares. The researchers tested simulation targets reflecting the jets’ thermal characteristics, and verification against real aircraft has not been confirmed.
