*>> THE FCKING FCKS* Re <<americans sure love giving their data away to the CCP in exchange for free stuff>> More free stuff :0))) scmp.com China releases world’s most powerful electronic warfare weapon design software – for free Updated: 12:28am, 11 Jan 2025 While similar US industrial software can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, a Chinese program has been released at no cost A powerful industrial software that can be used to design electronic warfare weapons has been released for free by Chinese scientists – and test results suggest it outperforms a US product in both speed and memory usage. This advance is the culmination of two decades of work that has gone largely unnoticed to the outside world, according to researchers involved in the project. The electronic warfare equipment used by the People’s Liberation Army ( PLA) is evolving rapidly. For example, the multi-band antenna used in the new phased array radar has “complex structures such as curved surfaces, multilayer dielectrics, metal conductors and thin dielectric layers”, wrote the project team led by Professor Li Bin from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in a paper published in November. This antenna also produces other complex phenomena during operation, such as vibration and heat generation. But simulating these types of electromagnetic characteristics on a computer is extremely challenging. Ansys HFSS, the most powerful electromagnetic industrial software in the United States, takes three hours to perform radiation simulation analysis on the same antenna, according to Li’s team. The software developed by Li and his colleagues can complete the task in just 12 minutes, and it consumes less than one-sixth of the memory resources of the US software. Li’s team named the software “Yaoguang” which is a romantic word in Chinese, describing the gentle swaying of light in the woods when the wind blows. The emergence of Yaoguang means that when Chinese scientists compete with American or international counterparts in developing a new generation of electronic warfare weapons that may determine the course of future wars, they can complete the theoretical verification of a design 15 times faster, while consuming the same computing resources. Li also provided other military application examples of the Yaoguang, such as analysing the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of a large electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier. It can increase the level of detail presented by nearly half, while taking one-third less time than the US software. In addition to its powerful performance, Yaoguang has an unparalleled advantage: it is completely free and has been available for download since August. It is a factor that is likely to make the software almost irresistible to users both in China and across the world. A Chinese enterprise needs to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for similar US or European products. The reliability, too, of Western software is increasingly being questioned, as the US government can stop Chinese users from accessing it at any time. Yaoguang can support the research and design of almost all electronic products. “As one of the seven most urgent and critical core technologies, industrial software has attracted great attention from the country,” wrote Li’s team in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Journal of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Other core technologies include integrated circuits, industrial machinery, medical equipment, instrumentation, basic software and advanced materials. Li has been recognised as a national leading talent by the Chinese government and serves as the chief scientist of a major national engineering project on large-scale industrial software. With the support of this project, Yaoguang is rapidly developing and replacing Western products that are widely used in China’s industrial design field. “We are promoting technological breakthroughs and application results across the entire field to achieve an independent and controllable industrial software industry and supply chains,” Li said. A 2022 report from US Congress warned that the American military was losing its traditional advantage in the field of electronic warfare when confronting the PLA. China has the world’s most complete industrial chain, the most advanced and efficient factories and the largest number of engineers. Some military experts believe that the gap between China and the United States in emerging military technologies, including electronic warfare capabilities, will continue to widen, significantly offsetting the US military’s advantages in traditional areas such as the number of aircraft carriers and military bases.

I wonder what would happen should Team China provide for free more specialised software 'products' for free, as gift dispensation to the planet, flipping over the reveal like so many poker cards can also provide cloud storage and hosting services for free and movies and TV shows and and and all free as long as it be digital recommendation: GetMoreGold
