>The missile missed its target by about two-dozen miles Article itself rehash of FT article, pretty vague and clumbsy with technical details. Somewhat related from a couple days ago: >China military researchers pinpoint AI for hypersonic weapons accuracy [0] ... >PLA scientists say artificial intelligence could write flight algorithm within seconds and be 10 times more accurate ... >Their study showed an AI-based system could keep a hypersonic weapon on course with an accuracy of about 10 metres (32 feet). ... >The researchers said physical disturbances to the sensors were inevitable during their assembly, transport and routine maintenance. And each time the weapon is powered up, it affects the hardware, causing further deviations from the factory settings. ... >Using their method, the AI would start work immediately after launch, before the weapon reached hypervelocity, to calculate its position using the signal from the GPS or BeiDou – China’s navigational positioning system – and compare it with the results generated by the on-board sensors to evaluate the actual condition of the hardware.

PRC building up nuclear capabilities because PRC minimum deterance posture is being unbalanced by US rolling out missile defense. Also ties back to Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley trying to calm PRC down over worries that Trump might start war from last month. Ergo all the new Chinese silo contruction and testing of fractional orbital bombardment. IMO the AI article on improving accuracy is also massive. Outlines a future where PRC has ICBMs with 10M accuracy (CEP?) and can do precision conventional strikes on US assets (think carriers in port).
