China Is Using Military Radar Technology That Can Find & Kill A Single Mosquito From 2 Km Away

Updated: March 31, 2018

It's safe to assume that none of us actually love mosquitoes. In fact, pretty much all of us hate those flying critters from the bottom of our collective hearts!

But we still aren't sure whether to celebrate or be filled with dread of new Chinese radar technology that can find and kill even a single mosquito.

It's no joke. Believe it or not, but China is actually developing a super-sensitive radar technology not to intercept enemy fighter jets or incoming missiles, but to detect the wing-flap of a single mosquito from up to 2 kilometres away, according to a senior scientist involved in the government research project.

According to Chinese news outlet, a prototype of the radar used to detect mosquitoes is currently being tested at a defence laboratory at the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). Obviously the aim of the project isn't limited to intercepting or killing off mosquitoes only.

"Identifying and tracking individual, mosquito-sized targets is no longer science fiction," a senior researcher working on the project was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post. "We are actually quite close to bringing this technology out of the laboratory and using it to save lives."

If the radar technology actually works, it can actually help millions of people from dying due to mosquito-related diseases like malaria, zika virus and other major ailments.

CHINA DEPLOYS MILITARY RADAR SYSTEM TO FIGHT DEADLY MOSQUITOES

BY CRISTINA MAZA ON 3/30/18 AT 1:59 PM

China is developing highly sensitive radars to detect an unexpected enemy: mosquitoes.

Once developed, the new devices will be able to detect when a mosquito is flapping its wings miles away. China’s central government provided a research team with a $12.9 million grant to develop what has been described as a military-grade mosquito net.

The research is being carried out by Beijing’s Institute of Technology using China’s advanced missile defense system, according to South China Morning Post. The technology being used is the same found on China’s warships.

The radars can also collect an impressive amount of information about the insects. The radars let off rapid pulses of electromagnetic waves that hit the mosquitoes and then travel back to their origin with information such as the species, gender and direction of flight. This will help scientists discover where the mosquitoes are breeding and could help provide early warnings for communities living close to the areas where the little flies rest.

China is working on the radars at a time when scientists and international development specialists are looking for ways to eradicate mosquitoes, a major source of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and Zika.


The number of cases of malaria has dropped substantially in China in recent years, but mosquito-borne illnesses are still prevalent in rural, underdeveloped areas. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 1 million people die each year from illnesses they caught from mosquitoes.

Scientists are also debating whether it would be harmful to the environment to eradicate mosquitoes altogether. Only around six percent of mosquitoes worldwide are female—the kind that bites humans. Of that six percent, only around half is estimated to carry disease.

There are also around 3,500 different species of mosquitoes, and some scientists have argued that wiping out a small percentage of those species wouldn’t harm mosquitoes overall.

nano robots is the future, so it,s a good stpe to invest.

This is actually application to detect very small RCS objects such as drones and stealth fighters.

this much hard work for killing LCA tejas

Probably they knew your abilities

Probably they knew your abilities

or maybe they are developing the cheapest way to taget the cheapest tejaj .

My radar tells me there is already a mosquito present in this thread.

Sir, this radar can intercept flying objects only

Sir, this radar can intercept flying objects only

in case of future sir .china work in advance if really LCA MK203970942170 start flying in real then ?
