Re: The End of the Carrier Age?
Has the company who discovered the Varyag ever declared they were using their satellite to find the carrier? If you have a link that supports that conclusion please post it in your response.
It is you who claimed that varyag was found accidentally so the onus is on you to prove it
I think you do not understand what the meaning of the word ROSAT means. Here is the correct meaning. Notice that it is a radar satellite used to provide targeting information against the American carriers. Since radar is radar, the Russian radar satellites were no different than the ones used today by the Chinese
I don't want to quibble about abbreviation . the fact is satellite by itself it totally useless unless you have the backroom support system. like network, processing power, automatic detection, relay and communication satellites. That is why Rosat never works as intended
The carrier does not need to give continuous radio signals to aircraft. Here is a reference on the carrier using EMCON. In fact the carrier is perfectly capable of carrying out flight operations just using the E-2 AWACS as the flight controller without broadcasting any signals at all.
I don't mean the communication between the fighter and carrier . When fighter jet landed they are guided by radar because they used Instrument carrier landing system similar to civilian counter part of Icl and that one emmit radio wave
The Carrier Controlled Approach is analogous to ground-controlled approach using the ship's precision approach radar. Pilots are told (via voice radio) where they are in relation to glideslope and final bearing (e.g., "above glideslope, right of centerline"). The pilot then makes a correction and awaits further information from the controller.
The Instrument Carrier Landing System (ICLS) is very similar to civilian ILS systems and is used on virtually all Case III approaches. A "bullseye" is displayed for the pilot, indicating aircraft position in relation to glideslope and final bearing. The Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS) is similar to the ICLS, in that it displays "needles" that indicate aircraft position in relation to glideslope and final bearing. An approach utilizing this system is said to be a "Mode II" approach. Additionally, some aircraft are capable of "coupling" their autopilots to the glideslope/azimuth signals received via data link from the ship, allowing for a "hands-off" approach. If the pilot keeps the autopilot coupled until touchdown, this is referred to as a "Mode I" approach. If the pilot maintains a couple until the visual approach point (at 3/4 mile) this is referred to as a "Mode IIA" approach.
The UAV will have to let the PLAN know where it is. When that happens they will have to transmit. When that happens they will get that signal jammed.
Also a weapon to shoot down snooping UAVs has been unveiled. See the video here
In other words dealing with a carrier is not as easy as you might think
China make some of the best jamming system in the world . I bet they know thing or two how to counter the jamming. One method is frequency hopping . Thy other one is to mask the signal with noise. still other to reduce the phase angle of the signal.In not so distance future they will built quantum teleportation.
So I would also said Jamming signal from a near peer foe is also not that easy
China's secure communications quantum leap
By Matthew Luce
A team of 15 Chinese researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing and the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences, a government-directed research center, in May published a research paper announcing a successful demonstration of "quantum teleportation" (liangzi yinxing chuan) over 16 kilometers of free space.
These researchers claimed to have the first successful experiment in the world. The technology on display has the potential to revolutionize secure communications for military and intelligence organizations and may become the watershed of a research race in communication and information technology.
Although much of the science behind this technology is still young, quantum technologies have wide-ranging applications for the fields of cryptography, remote sensing and secure satellite

Chinese researcher wants to complete quantum satellite by 2015

A prominent scientist in China has shared his plans to develop a quantum satellite within ten years.
Pan Jianwei, who is the youngest scientist at China's Academy of Science, said he entered his field purely out of interest. After receiving his master's degree from the University of Science and Technology in China, Pan went to the Universitat Wien in Austria for his PhD. When he graduated in 1999, quantum was not yet considered a crucial subject to research in China, and it took Pan several years to secure funds for his research.
As more and more quantum researchers sprung up in China, Pan found more partners for his projects. In 2009, Pan and his colleagues created the world's first quantum telephone network. Now Pan says he wants to complete a quantum satellite by year 2015.
