Re <<Rules Based International Order (RBIO) ... Pentagon>>

interesting times for legacy rules as traditional rules-breaking curiosity comes to the fore

especially when below such coupled with long-range / longterm autonomous / loitering ocean current glide drones that should restrict submarine captains to inland lakes and perhaps not even that

the sort of stuff the boyz have been working on forbes.com

Chinese scientists look to 6G to hunt submarines, testing device small enough to fit on drone

- Defence researchers say sensors can identify extremely small surface vibrations produced by a low-frequency sound source in the open sea

- UAV-mounted platform could work in concert with other submarine detection methods such as a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD), microwave radar or laser

China has tested the world’s first submarine-detecting device based on next-generation communication technology, according to researchers.

The terahertz device identified extremely small surface vibrations produced by a low-frequency sound source in the open sea, scientists involved in the experiment said.

These ripples were as tiny as 10 nanometres tall, well below the detection range of existing technology.

Tracking and analysing these waves can not only help find the submarine but also gather critical intelligence, such as noise signature or the submarine model, according to the researchers.

The technology “will have significant application potential in underwater vessel detection and other areas”, said the project team with the National University of Defence Technology. Their work was published on August 11 in the Journal of Radars, a Chinese-language peer-reviewed journal

Terahertz is a frequency range between microwave and infrared radiation. Terahertz technology has been proposed as a potential solution for achieving high data rates and low latency for the next generation of communication technology, or 6G.

Electromagnetic signals in this range not only carry a lot more information than existing communication methods but can collect information about the environment. Some airports in China, for instance, use terahertz screening devices to detect illegal items concealed under passenger’s clothes.

Generating powerful terahertz signals used to be difficult but thanks to an increasing investment in 6G in recent years, scientists in China and other countries have achieved breakthroughs that make mass application of the technology possible.

And advances mean the terahertz submarine detector could be small enough to mount on a drone, according to the Chinese team.

“A small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform has the advantage of good mobility, low cost and flexible deployment,” they said in the paper.
And it could work in concert with other submarine detection methods such as a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD), microwave radar or laser.

“As a supplement to existing detection methods, it can provide important information for the detection and identification of submarines,” they added.

The paper did not state when the experiment was conducted, but said it was at an unspecified location off the northeastern city of Dalian in the Yellow Sea. At the time of the test, the weather was fair but breaking waves produced lots of bubbles, according to their paper.

The military scientists used an artificial sound source to simulate the noise emitted by a submarine. To mimic drone flight, the submarine detector was carried by an extended arm of a research ship.

When a submarine is travelling at high speed, “it produces significant radiated noise that propagates to the water surface and excites surface vibration”, the researchers said.

But the disturbance is extremely weak by the time it reaches the surface. Separating it from the natural waves of the ocean was previously thought impossible.

In the test, the terahertz sensor picked up man-made ripples with amplitude ranging from 10 to 100 nanometres, depending on the sea conditions.

The team said the result was a miracle of both hardware and software.

The terahertz waves’ high frequency made it ultra-sensitive. The Chinese scientists say they have also developed the world’s first algorithm that can effectively identify nanometre-size ripples over the wobbling ocean.

The same technology could be used in submarine communication, they said.

A submarine sometimes needs to establish contact with friendly aircraft to coordinate their movements in a large-scale military operation. The captain could encode messages in surface vibrations too small to be detected by enemy forces.

“By detecting acoustically induced surface vibration signals, it is possible to invert the information conveyed by underwater sound sources,” the team said.

The sea test results suggested the terahertz technology “has high signal resolution” for cross-medium communication, which remains a challenge to naval powers, they said.

The 6G technology has been used in separate close-range communication experiments between water and the air, which had also produced successful outcomes, they said.

Looks like a good time to look at lists so I thought I would refer to the lists from the Anderson Reunion held in the Knights of Columbus Hall in Camrose, Alberta July 16, 1995 for the descendants of Jonas and Kristina Anderson.

Our Anderson Reunion


(Where we all fit in. Most of the Kristofferson family were born in Vilhemina Vasterbotten, Sweden. In Sweden, it was the custom for the children to add "son" to their father's surname, e.g. Anders became Anderson. All of Anders' children did this except Frank, who registered as Kristofferson. There were two other Kristofferson children, but one child died in infancy and the other drowned at an early age.)

Lists begin. Looks like grandma (I'm using grandma) Lydia Elizabeth Anderson mom's name was Kristina Kristofferson and Kristina's dad in 1880 married Katherina Erikson. Great grandma Kristina came to Canada with one child Signe (Mareck) and had five more children. Lydia married James Waldemar Carlson in 1929.
