In a groundbreaking development poised to reshape the future of electronic warfare, Chinese scientists have unveiled a next-generation system powered by 6G technology—marking a significant leap in modern military capabilities. Developed under the leadership of Professor Deng Lei from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, this advanced system is designed to jam cutting-edge radar, transmit secure data across over 300 platforms, and conduct full-spectrum battlefield operations simultaneously.

This is the first publicly confirmed platform capable of performing same-frequency full-duplex communication and jamming, a feat previously considered technically elusive. The innovation lies in its compact, multifunctional architecture, which allows both data transmission and electronic attack operations at the same frequency without mutual interference. This means that the device can send and receive information while disrupting enemy signals in real time—greatly enhancing battlefield efficiency and deception capabilities.
Strategic Funding and Technology
The project is backed by $10 million in funding, indicating the high strategic priority the Chinese military places on 6G-based warfare. A major technological breakthrough in the system is the integration of microwave photonics, a technology that uses light to generate, transmit, and manipulate radio-frequency signals. This enables the device to create over 3,600 false radar targets, effectively spoofing enemy detection systems and providing Chinese forces with a tactical edge in modern combat scenarios.

Implications for Global Security
With this development, China is not only solidifying its lead in the race for 6G supremacy, but also enhancing its military dominance in the electromagnetic spectrum—a domain that has become as critical as land, sea, air, space, and cyber in contemporary warfare.
China’s leap into 6G-enabled military technologies comes as part of a broader national strategy, aligning with President Xi Jinping’s directive to achieve “intelligentized warfare” capabilities by 2035. This strategy includes AI-based command systems, quantum communications, hypersonic delivery platforms, and now, 6G-integrated EW systems.
Key Features of the New EW System
- Same-Frequency Full-Duplex Communication and Jamming: First known system to transmit and jam at the same frequency simultaneously.
- Integration Across Platforms: Designed to operate seamlessly over 300+ aerial, ground, and naval platforms.
- Microwave Photonics Core: Generates massive false signal targets to overwhelm and deceive enemy radars.
- Compact Design: Easily deployable across drones, fighter jets, and mobile ground units.
- Spoofing Capability: Capable of generating 3,600+ false targets to saturate radar networks.

Global Response and Strategic Concerns
While Chinese state media has remained selective in disclosing complete technical details, international defense analysts view this development as a potential game-changer, particularly in contested zones like the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
Western militaries, especially the United States and NATO, have expressed growing concern about China’s accelerated pace in emerging military technologies, including AI, quantum encryption, and now 6G-enabled EW platforms. Experts warn that such systems could neutralize the effectiveness of stealth aircraft, disable GPS navigation, and interrupt satellite-based communications, posing a new level of threat in any future conflict scenario.
Final Thoughts
China’s unveiling of this 6G-based electronic warfare system signals the dawn of a new era in warfare—one dominated not only by hardware superiority but also by control of the electromagnetic and information domains. As global powers race to adapt to this new paradigm, the balance of power in future conflicts may well depend on mastery over invisible waves—where 6G will be as decisive as firepower.
