United Imaging tries really, really hard to hide the fact that it's a Chinese company. Or, Google tries really, really hard to do that, because it doesn't show the global Chinese page, only the US English page.

Chinese scientists develop anti-stealth radar so small it could be mistaken for rooftop clothes rack, research paper says
- Team from Xidian University say they have used their mobile device to track civilian aircraft, with the data suggesting the technology works
- Several research projects in China are focused on anti-stealth radar advances, including developing quantum radar technology
Chinese scientists allegedly develop ‘clothes rack’ like anti-stealth radar
The Chinese anti-stealth radar uses waves that are more than a meter long and have a frequency of only 3.3 feet, says report.Created: Aug 18, 2022 12:31 AM
Chinese scientists have allegedly developed an that could be quietly and easily set up almost anywhere, including a rooftop, reported .
Anti-stealth radar systems often need a big antenna to pick up the weak signature of stealth planes that use technology to block or deflect radar signals. This new compact system, however, if true, could prove to be revolutionary.
“Although the detection accuracy of the radar can be improved by increasing the antenna aperture, it will reduce the mobility and survivability of the radar platform,” said professor Yang Minglei in a paper published in the domestic peer-reviewed on August 11.
The metric wave radar array is comparable in size and looks like a "clothes-drying rack," was created by Yang and his colleagues of the national laboratory of radar signal processing at Xidian University, Xian, according to a picture published in the journal.
Researchers say that in several tests done on top of a building on a university campus, the mobile device did better in terms of accuracy and range of detection.
China has a complex air defense system that includes , especially along the South China Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean coasts.
In 2013, Wu Jianqia, lead scientist in the military's anti-stealth radar program, claimed that Chinese radar systems could detect and track American F-22 jets, which are thought to be the most advanced and potent stealth fighters in the world, flying several hundred kilometers off the Chinese coast.
The Chinese anti-stealth radar uses waves with a frequency of just over 3.3 feet (about a meter). According to Wu, these low-frequency waves may contact the massive parts of the stealth aircraft, like its wings or tail, and produce echo signals that are more than 100 times stronger than those of military radar that uses higher frequencies.
Most radar systems are much bigger
The majority of metric wave radars are enormous. Even portable versions, when fully extended, can reach heights of tens of meters. They typically take hours to set up and require massive trucks to tow them, making them prime targets for satellites and drones.In 2019, the Syria's Chinese-made JY-27 metric wave radar. Based on the information available to the public, the device was thought to be a smaller version of those used by the People's Liberation Army. However, the incident has made people worry about how long these anti-stealth systems will work.
China boosts sci-tech innovation in agricultural machinery, equipment
The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) has launched an initiative to strengthen scientific and technological innovation in agricultural machinery and equipment. /CFP
The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) on Tuesday launched an initiative to strengthen scientific and technological innovation in agricultural machinery and equipment.
The initiative aims to accelerate the mechanized, intelligent and green development of agricultural production, providing solid equipment support for ensuring the country's food security as well as high-quality agricultural and rural development.
Focused on solving the key problems of agricultural machinery and equipment, the initiative calls for enhancing scientific and technological research on efficient, intelligent and green agricultural machinery.
China's grain production has achieved a bumper harvest for 18 consecutive years, according to Wu Kongming, president of the CAAS. /CFP
Intelligent production
The initiative is centered on intelligent production equipment for major food crops, self-sufficiency of key and core technologies in production equipment for cotton and oil bulk cash crops, and the comprehensive eradication of weak links, and development of regional production equipment.
It calls for targeted scientific and technological breakthroughs in key equipment and technologies such as bulk crops, facility agriculture, and hilly and mountainous areas.
China's grain production has achieved a bumper harvest for 18 consecutive years with the strong support of agricultural machinery and equipment and agricultural mechanization, according to Wu Kongming, president of the CAAS.
The initiative is an important measure to accelerate the scientific and technological innovation of agricultural machinery and equipment in the country, Wu said.
China's overall mechanization rate of crop cultivation has exceeded 71 percent in recent years, according to Chen Qiaomin, director of the Nanjing Institute of Agricultural Mechanization of the CAAS. /CFP
Innovation capacity
The country's agricultural machinery and equipment innovation capacity has improved in recent years, and the overall mechanization rate of crop cultivation has exceeded 71 percent, said Chen Qiaomin, director of the Nanjing Institute of Agricultural Mechanization of the CAAS.
However, there are still problems such as the lack of agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas, Chen noted.
Wu called for promoting key research tasks such as scientific and technological research on efficient and intelligent green agricultural machinery, collaborative innovation of agricultural machinery science and enterprises, and upgrading of agricultural machinery innovation platforms.
The CAAS will strive to realize leap-forward development of China's agricultural machinery equipment and agricultural mechanization technology by 2030, Wu said, adding that it will set up an intelligent agriculture and equipment science center.
More than 500 robotic products from over 130 companies are on display
Quacquarelli Symonds, the company that does this ranking, is British, so this is something to watch out for. If the Chinese universities really start rising further up, expect this list to start to become politicized.
Interesting that the University of Tokyo has held is position and actually risen from 2015. This is probably the only area I've seen in any metric where Japan is not in decline.
